ROBBERS HOLD UP
 TRAIN IN COLORADO
WHILE THEY WERE FORCING EN- GINEER TO APPLY TORCH TO DYNAMITE FUSE EXPRESS MES SINGER OPENED FIRE ON THEM

Trinidad, Col. November 1s.-Four masked robbers held up passenger train No. on the Colorado and Southern rail- road twelve miles south of here tonight. One of the robbers was shot by Express Messenger Sherwiok of Fort Worth, Tex. The robbers Jagged the train and as it slowed up they ran along side of the en- zine and covered the crew with revolvers. They then, compelled Engineer John Gull fril to alight and after placing sack filled with dynamite under the baggage car and attached fuse to the explosive, they ordered Guilfril to ignite the fuse. This he attempted to do several times, but for some reason the fuse would not burn.
 During this proceeding the robbers kept up fusilade of shots in the direction of the train for the purpose of intimidating the passengers. While they were prepar- ing to rearrange the dyanmite and fuse, Messenger Sherwick, after extinguishing the lights in his car, quietly opened a side door in the car, far enough to admit a gun barrel and fired at the nearest rob- Der. The latter fell in his tracks. His startled companions picked him up and quickly disappeared in the woods near by. None of the passengers were molest- ed. The sheriff of Las Animas county organized a posse and is pursuing the would-be robbers.

Hug Each Other Before 45O
 Guests at Banquet
WORDS DROWNED BY CHEERS
In Ills Speech General Chaffee Often Referred to Ills SubordInate's Loyalty and Gave Him His
 Share of the Honors.

Chicago, November 1S.-As a soldier who has served many years I know how honors. such as those that have been be- slowed upon me. come They come to individuals as they have come to me. through the loyal devotion and service of other officers and soldiers-that great mass of men who compose the army of the United States. They have helped me to my honor and they helped my loyal friend Wheaton to his honor. and no man is more free to acknowledge 1t than that prince of soldiers"
 With this tribute to the American soi- dier, Major General Chaffee fitted climax to a touching demonstration of the comradeship of barrack and camp life at tonights banquet at the Union League club. The hero of ElCaney and General Lloyd Wheaton, conquerer of the Moros, had met for the first time since they parted in the jungles of Luzon and unabashed by the presence of the 450 guests they had shown the warmth of a soldiers greeting.
 General Wheaton had been invited to sit with the guest of honor at the speak CTS table, but modesty made him late. General Chaffee saw him first as he threaded his way among the tables. He arose, and reaching across the table. beckoned him to approach. General Wheaton made his way around the board and General Chaffee fell upon his neck without further ceremony. He threw his arm over the others shoulder and hugged him, while General Wheaton blushed modestly through his beard and dropped his head to hide the tears that coursed down his cheeks.
 What they said was drowned by the cheers and salvos of the guests and then General Wheaton sat down within sight of his former comms sndng officer. In his speech. General Chaffee referred often to the loyalty of his former subordinates, giving him his share in the honors and each time General Wheaton hid his bronzed face behind his hand and wiped away furtive tears.

Indianapolis, Ind, November B.-Mayor Bcokwalter, and Rufus Cantrell, the grave robber had a conference in the grand jury room today. The mayor went to see Cantrell in answer to an appeal frcm mother who feared that her sons body had been stolen. Before he left Cam trell made confident of the mayor.
 If what Cantrell told me Is true, all of this grave-robbing business has not been disclosed"
 Cantrell gave the mayor an exhibition of his unusually retentive memory He recalled the date of the lads burial and the location of the grave.
 But we did not take that body" It was too small. I could only sell four bodies of children in year for the colleges only needed that many"
 Are you sure of this case7'' the mayor asked. Q
 Sure? Well. I should say am," an- swered the graverobber. If you will go to Mount Jackson. you will find a lump of coal at the head of the grave. That Is to notify any one In the business that tho body is undesirable. The night after the boy was buried I went to Mount Jackson to get another body. I took the coal along as a marker. It is a sign under stood by all graverobbers.'

PHILIPPINE REPORT LATE.
Synopsis Has Been CabIed to the War
 Department for Immediate Use.

Washington, November 1.-The report of the Philippine committee will not reach Washington for 6 month, but a synopsis for Seer tary Root to use in his annual report This brief abstract will not be made public until the secretary's' report is published. It Is understood, however, that the commission will make strong re- commentators regarding the currency, which at present Is in a deplorable state The continued depreciation of the silver currency until it is now $2.50 for $ in gold has caused great loss to the Philippine government, estimated at about T,tA0, 900 during the past six months. The com mission believes that the currency should be established on gold basis as the only safe and sure way in which the financial affairs of the islands can be put in order.
 Governor Taft always has been In favor of further tariff concessions to the Phil ippines, and 1t Is believed that he recom- mended that the rate which is now 75 per cent of the Dingley rates should be made 25 per cent in order to encourage com merce between the islands and the United States
 Governor Taft also has been in favor of a modification of Chinense exclusion laws as applied to the Philippines and believes that the commission should be allowed discretion in the matter of admitting Chinese labor. There is also reason to be- lieve that the commission thinks greater latitude should be permitted in the mat ter of franchises, as the grant of five thousand acres to one concern is not suf- ficient to induce capital in large amounts to engage in development.
 It is not probable that Secretary Root tx,rt te41 ,1~4 garding the Philippines, but will lay be- fore congress the report when it comes with such approval as he thinks is nec- essary at the present time

 STILL UNSETTLED
ANOTHER EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO BRING THE WARMING ELE- MENTs TOGETHER TODAY. MANY TEAMS ANXIOUS.

Chicago, November 18.-The trouble be- tween the American association and the Western League is still unsettled. al- though for the past three days the arbi- tration committee of the National asso- citation of Baseball leagues has put forth every effort to bring about peaceable adjustment. Nothing definite resulted from todays conference and an adjourn ment was taken until tomorrow. The Western league submitted a new ultima tum tonight, but the contents have not been made public.
 The American association appears to have the better of the argument as the arbitration committee Is in favor of ad- mitting the American association to the National Association of Baseball leagues, but the Western league Is putting up a strong fight In opposition The American association, 1t is said. is willing to con- tinue the fight next year, but the other minor leagues composing the National as- sociation are anxious for pepace.

him as a suicide Next, according to Mrs. Doxheimer. the assassin's task was assigned to a man named Mueller, living on Avenue B, this city, who. few days later. died of poisoning, self administered. The last of the three assigned for the murderous work, Mrs. Doxheimer alleges, was a Mrs. Schroeder of Harlem, who also ended her life by means of poison.
 Mrs. Doxheimer asserts that among the plotters were several millionaires. Her conception of what constitutes million aire is indicated by her statement that these men owned houses"
 Mrs. Doxheimer says that recently she had been under suspicion of her former anarchistic associates, and that they have followed her and her husband from place to place. so that they have required the protection of detectives
 The Rev. Charles L. Meade, Mrs. Dox- heimer's pastor, will make no statement regarding the so-ealied confession.

Again and again the door responded

Again and again the door responded
to encores. and Jugger. keeping horri-
fled tally, felt his hair rise as he men,
tally contemplated the extent to which
the house would have been mussed up
if the fourteen burglars. who were now
in the cellar, had been at liberty in the
house, and he had been obliged to get
up and kill them all.
Nearly all yelled and clutched fran.
tically at the atmosphere. as their chins
struck the edge of the floor as they fell.
and Jugger was astonished that the
sounds did not alarm those outside.
There were indications that serious
complications had resulted i'll the cellar,
and for "A time Jugger was of the opin-
ion that they were tearing each other
into pieces too small to lie of value. The
portable contents of the cellar were
from the sounds that fioated up through
the floor for time. one might have
managed that the burglars were mixed
in an inextricable tangle below. The
earnest remarks they INDUCED in
seemed to indicate that they got their
tempers hopelessly strabismussed.
AT first Jugger decided to sail in with
his club and slaughter the game ac-
cording to programme, but as the doctor
had cautioned him in regard to over
doing the club exercise, he contented
himself with opening the trap little
and remarking earnestly, april fool ~
in voice suitable for evolutionary pur-
poses. Then he slammed the trap down
upon the fingers that were poked up
through the crack
When the police arrived next morn
ing, Jugger found himself seriously dis
liked by fourteen members of the church
ut which he had regular sleeping ac-
commodations. They seemed to think
that affairs had been carried beyond the
boundary line of humor when sur
prise party was shot into the cellar,
there to mingle with each other and six
varieties of soft pie and the other re.
freshments with which they had armed
themselves.
There were few well-timed remarks
from the good minister. who had fallen
in first. and had caught the heavy door
ON top of his thinker when the second
victim fell in. Waving all that was
left of his gold headed cane, which was
to have been presented to Jugger, but
which had been broken over the head
of friend in the cellar whom he had
suspected of desire to throttle his pas
tor. and. pulling an egg out of his ear
and his hand out through a squash pie.
he remarked that. in his humble opin.
ion. man who would seek to assassi-
nate brethren and sisters who had Dor
rowed of him time and time again with
out reserve. was worse than an infidel,
and ought to be ostracized socially and
politically.
Jugger, who had been ostracized be.
fore. replied scornfully that he WASH t
afraid. for it wouldn't take" anyhow.
And the surprise party filed away into
outer darkness.
Jugger was tried for attempted man
and woman slaughter, but was speedily
acquitted on the ground that it was not
his fault if Providence, Justice and Re-
tribution dubbed together and sent in
his direction surprise party which,
until then. had gone OH its devasting
way up and down the earth like roar
ing lion, so to speak. seeking whom ii
might jump onto with both feet.
