1t has been announced that as a
result of the fast time made, by the
trains carrying the mail over the
country en- route from Australia to
London this mail will in future GO
via the United States route instead
of the Suez Canal. The mail was
carried from San Francisco to New
York over the Union Pacific, Burling-
ton and New York Central, the Bur
lington running a special mail train
from Council Bluffs to Chicago at a
speed averaging over fifty miles an
hour, including stops for fuel and
water, and the time from Sydney to
London was cut down seven days.
The mail, consisting of l27 sacks,
left Sydney, N. S. W, at 10 a. m. /,
August 10, and was delivered to the
London postoffice at a. M, Septem
ber IA. Importance attaches to the
new departure in handling the British
mail because it consists largely of
documents intended for the British
Parliament, which will hereafter pass
across the western continent. s06S

Don't put your wheel away now
is the advice of an experienced bicy-
Gle rider who has learned the value
of rides in these autumn days. "This
( is the time of the year when wheel
ing is most delightful and beneficial,
and health and happiness will come
to anyone who will ride in modera-
tion. The roads throughout the
vicinity are in good condition and a
spin over them will add a glow to
the cheek and brightness to the eye
that two months in the mountains in
the warm weather could not dupli-
cate. Keep your wheel in commission
and ride up to snowfall. Yes, even
take an occasional ride whenever the
weather permits during the winter,
for such sensible exercise in the open
air is better than all the tonics the
famous physicians of the world ever
prescribed. /"

OLD INSTINCT
STILL STRONG
GOVERNOR WELLS VETOES
EVANS BILL.
SHIELDS HIS POLIO FRIENDS
Yields to No One in Affection
for Those Of Many
Wives.
SHIELDS HIS POLIO FRIENDS

Salt Lake, March Ex-Governor
Wells has vetoed the Evans bill rela-
tive to making complaints and COM
menoing prosecutions for adultery in
criminal cases. He says in part:
"In my opinion nothing can be
clearer than that this bill, if passed,
would be wide and employed as q
most effective weapon against the very
classes whose condition it is intended
to ameliorate. Furthermore; I have
reason to believe it's enactment would
be the signal for a general demand
upon the national congress for a con-
stitutional amendment directed against
certain conditions here, a demand
which under the present circumstaI-
ces would surely be complied with.
While it may be urged that in any
event the people. cannot be made to
suffer, is it not an odlous thought, re-
pulsive to every good citizen of what
soever creed or party, that the whole
state should thus be put under the
ban? l yield to nc one in affection
for those Of my people who from the
highest motives, and who believed it
to be a divine order, entered into re-
lations of plural marriage. Born and
raised in Utah, myself born of plural
marriage brought up myself to regard
it as of the Almighty's creation. as l
hope for my heritage, it will be grant
ed I hope that every instinct of my
nature reach out to shield my friends
from harm and to protect them from
unjust attack. Their cause is my
cause and when they are hurt,.I am
hurt, for I am part Of them. But in
that same heart which is filled with
sympathy for them, I find also the
solemn feeling that this bill has only a
false hope Of correction and that in
Offering a phantom of relief to a few
it in reality invites a deluge of discord
and disaster upon ALL"

Lo0M|s STANDS WELL
Venezuelan Government Kindly
Disposed Toward United
States Minister.

Washington, March 14-The Vene-
zuelan charge, Senior Pulido, says there
need be no fear of any governmental
complications growing out of the re-
cent asphalt affairs in Venezela and the
course of Mr.. Loomis, the United
States minister. Any criticisms which
have been made of Loomis are said to
come from. private sources and not be
shared by the responsible officials of
Venezuela
The local papers of the country have
reprinted articles appearing in the
United States. arraigning Venezuela as
a "Bloodthirsty country and this
has caused considerable irritation and
adverse press comment. But SO far as
the Venezuelan government is con-
cerned, frequent communications to
Senior Pulido show that the most
friendly sentiment continues to be
entertained for the United States.
While there has been no occasion to
discuss Loomis' status, yet, Senior
Pulido is satisfied that the reported
feeling against him is not shared by
the officials.

WANTS NO EQUV0CAT|oN
Hay Asks Russia for Plain State
ment Concerning Manchur-
ian Plans.

Washington, March l4-Such infor-
nation as has come to the hands of
officials indicate that the Russian
agreement consists of 10 articles, as has
been published. The chief concern of
officials here has been to learn how
far these articles affect the permanent
future Of Manchuria. On their face
it is said they show a return to China
of Manchuria. which would seem to
be quite in keeping with the desire of
all the powers. But this is accom-
plished apo certain conditions i'm
posed upon China and it is understood
that these conditions in effect estab-
lish a Russian s%uzerainty over Man
churia, with a Russian official occupy
ing the chief executive position, quite
similar to that of the British viceroy
of India.
Comparing this condition with that
in India it is said if the present agree
ment is contaminated. Manchuria will
be much in the same position of one
of the Indian states, having a certain
degree of independence, and yet con-
forming all it's actions to the supreme
authority over it.
Chinese affairs received considerable
attention at the state department to-
day, as the Chinese minister, the Brit
ish ambassador and the Russian am
bassador followed each other in long
conferences with Secretary Hay. 1t is
understood that in the informal dis
cussion with Count Cassini an earnest
intimation was construed to him that
it would be most helpful in dealing
with the subject if IA clear and explicit
understanding of Russia's plans in
this particular matter were forthcom-
ing.

DESPERATE CROOKS HOLD TIP
PENNSYLVANIA BANK.
BRAVE CASHIER is KILLED
While Attempting to Recover the
Money Stolen Receives
Fatal Wound.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 14-Charles
W. RYAN, cashier of the Halifax Ma
tional bank, was shot to death by
Henry Rowe and Weston KEEPER of
Lykens, at noon today, in an attempt
at a daring bank robbery.
The robbers we're captured by a
party of citizens soon after the crime
and were brought to the Harrisburg
Jail together with F. B. STRATEGY of
lykens, who is suspected of being an
accomplice.
Rowe and KEEPER drove to Halifax
from Elizabethville this morning and
hitching their team on the outskirts Of
the town, boldly entered the bank
with revolvers pointed and demanded
that the attaches Of the bank throw up
their hands and turn over the money
Of the bank. One of them held up
President Abraham Fostenbaugh Of
the bank; Isaac Lyter, teller and ex-
Representative Swartz of Duncanon,
who was in the bank on private bust
ness. The other covered Cashier Ryan
and under threat of a revolver col
lected cash in the drawer to the
amount of $12,O 900 and placed it in a
satchel the robbers had brought with
them.
Rowe with the cash stuffed satchel
in his hand, backed out toward the
door and KEEPER also moved toward
the entrance of the bank. .
Just when it seemed that the rob-
bers would succeed in getting away
Cashier Ryan leaped forward in an at
tempt to knock up the revolver of the
man with the money. In the scufhe
several shots we're fired and Ryan fell
to the floor, shot through the groin by
Rowe. Fostenbaugh grabbed Rowe
and after a short struggle threw him
to the floor.
Keiper ran out of the door. The
noise of the shooting attracted John
Triter, who shot KEEPER with his shot
gun. The wounded man was taken
to the Jail at Harrisburg.

St. Joseph, Mo-, March 14-Mrs.
Addie l.. Richardson was today indict-
ed by the grand jury for the murder

statements of her relatives Mrs.
Richardson, some time after the in

no fears as to the outcome of the trial.
I know absolutely nothing of the crime
more than I have told to the prosecut-
ing attorney. Furthermore, I believe
he knows I am innocent"
Relatives of the defendant say they
believe the indictment is simply a
bluff" They say there is no evil
dence to show that she fred the shot
or that she saw anyone who did.
The grand jury will continue work
on the Richardson case. It is expect
ed there will be other indictments.
