Captain White has made trip over
the entire cotton belt, gathering statistics
regarding the cotton crop, and closes as
he generally does, in Raleigh. During
his stay here he gained valuable infor-
nation from Commissioner Patterson of
the State Agricultural Department and
others.
He says the forthcoming estimate of
Statistician Hyde is looked forward to
with unusual interest by the cotton
people, because they realize that the
government gives the facts, and has not
whit to do with speculation in the
staple
On the third of December next the
world may depend upon it that Statisti-

its representatives here lately in con-
ference, but nothing has been given out

(By the Associated Press.)

Kansas City. Mo-, Nov. 29-TWo men
made an unsuccessful attempt TO hold
up the eastbound Chicago and Alton pas
senger train which left here for ST. Louis
at o'clock tonight, at the Alton station
at independence, a secluded spot in the
eastern suburbs of that city.
The train had stopped at the station
and the two men, armed with rifles,
boarded the rear end of the train there
As it was pulling out at 10 o'clock the
men covered a brakeman with their
rifles and commanded him to throw UP
mis- hands The brakeman refused to
obey and one of the bandits shot him in
the leg.
The report of the firing was heard by
other trainmen, who hurried to the rear
crd of the train. The two robbers evil
IDENTIFY were disconnected by the turn
events had taken, and becoming fright
ened at the approach of the trainmen,
leaped from the train before it had
GAINED much Roadway.
The work of the bandits was very
crude. and they were evidently amateurs
in train-robbing. They were not masked
and the injured brakeman was able to
give the police a good description OF
them. Officers are securing the country
with every prospect of capturing the
robbers.

ASKS OUR GUARANTE E
Syndicate to f Loaf all ofVene-
zuela's Debts.
Roosevelt Does not see His Way Clear 10 IT,

Obligations.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, Nov. 29-The appearance
Der of New York financial house which
has engaged extensively in national syn
dicatioE, taken in connection with the
Associated Press dispatches printed this
morning from London relative to Vene-
zuelan finances, was viewed in official cir
cles here today as indicating the existence
of syndicate with the purpose of float
ing all of Venezuela's many debts and
thus averting the imminent danger that
country now stands in, of a seizure of her
customs house by foreign powers. The
assumption is that the prospective syndi-
cate wishes to ascertain before closing
a bargain with Venezuela whether or not
the United States will insure the meeting
by Venezuela of the obligations She
would assume in the matter OF repay
ment OF the loan.
The United States government, it can
be stated, on authority, is extremely de-
sirous that Venezuela settle her troubles
with Great Britain, Germany and other
foreign countries without mourning the
seizure of any Venezuelan ports even
temporarily.
Therefore if any responsible financial
body is willing to pay off Venezuela s
foreign claim and so relieve the country
from danger of occupation such a move
would be welcomed by the State Depart
ment But it is known that a settlement
based on a guarantee by the United States
government of the syndicate's Venezue-
Ian loan would be unfavorably considered.
The Department of State objects very
strongly to giving any guarantee OF this
kind.
Mr.. Seligman lost no time in bringing
his business to the attention of the gov
eminent and before noon he appeared at
the executive Offices with Senator Hanna
and was promptly admitted to the Presi-
dents room The conference did not
last very long and when he came away
Mr. Seligman declined to make any state
mont 1t is underst God, however, that
he did sound the President on the line
indicated and that the President could
not sec his way clear to involve the Uni
ted States in the financial difficulties OF
the American republic that might follow
from the acceptance of Seligman's propo-
sition. 1t may be that the matter will,
later on; take form that Will make 1t
possible for the State Department to IA
vorably entertain it,
Mr.. Seligman tonight said that another
conference will be held tomorrow at
which Secretary Hay will be present and
that at its conclusion he would probably

fWay-
(Bv the Associated Press. J

Ironton. Ohio, Nov. 29.-Shortly before
three o'clock this morning a mob at
tempted to take William Glasco. the as
sailant of Mary Maloney. from the coun-
and force of special deputies. The
mob was forming for an attack when
Glasco was spirited away in carriage.
II is believed he was taken in round
about way to the Portsmouth Jail.
Glasco admitted assaulting Miss Ma
loney. and said it was done in revenge
for her brother striking him. The girl
is in a serious condition Glasco knock
ed her down by a blow on the head. but
fled when screams brought help. He was
traced by bloodhounds.
A mob assembled last night and Sc
lectcd fifty men as leaders in a general
movement on the armory and Jail. At
the armory they demanded the keys OF
Captain Thompson who was in charge of
the militia, so that they could secure
rifles. On being refused they opened fire
with revolvers and Captain Thompson
narrowly escaped. When the mob could
do nothing at the armory, it moved on
the jail The sheriff refused the de-
mand for the keys. Then the mob moved
off to secure battering rams with which
to break into the jail and the sheriff at
once spirited the prisoner away, out of
the rear Of the Jail, and escaped.
Sheriff Taylor and his prisoner reached
Gallipolis tonight in a buggy. The flu
tility of a pursuit is generally recog-
nized by leaders of last nights mob and
there is a general disposition to await
the return of Glasco for trial. All is
comparatively quiet tonight.
