ON TRAIN ROBBERS TRAIL.
ST. Louis Man Confesses He Is One of
the BURLINGTON Bandits.

St. Louis Man Confesses He Is One of
the Burlington Bandits.
The st. Louis police are on the trail Of
three men who held up and robbed the
Burlington limited train near Savannah,
ILL.,, on Aug. 5.
According to the statement made to
Chief Kiely by Irwin Chaffee, a motor
man in the employ Of the Transit Com
pany, Chaffee's brother confessed to him
that he participated in the robbery and
the murder of the robbers companion.
Chaffee's brother, George Chaffee, came
to ST. Louis accompanied by two stran-
gers. George asked his brother to rec
ommend q quiet rooming house where he
and his companions could stay for a few
DAYS, Irwin recommended a house in
Olive street and they spent several days
there.
The day after their arrival George
Chaffee admitted to his brother, the mo-
torman, that he and his companions COM
mitted the train robbery. The two broth
ers had a violent quarrel and the motor
man called his brother thief" and train
robber" in such loud, tones that the land
lady overheard them. Irwin Chaffee de-
manded that his brother and his compan-
ions leave the house, and they did so.
Then Irwin went to police headquarters
and told his story. Detectives immedi-
ately were assigned to shadow the house.
Notwithstanding the fact that several
special officers have been on guard mghs
and day since the police received the IN
formation George Chaffee came back tG
/ the house alone one night and escaped
| by the back way when he learned that
the detectives were in front of the house

PRACTICAL WORKING OF
COLORADO WATER LAWS
Assistant EngineefField Sub
mits Important Report.

A report on the practical working oil
issued as bulletin No. us. of the office
of experiment stations. of the United
States Department of Agriculture. This
report is entitled Irrigation from Big
Thompson River" and is written by
John E. Field, assistant State engineer
of Colorado.
The Big Thompson River, where the
studies were made. is in the heart OF
one of the most highly developed ag-i-
cultural regions of the United States, SO
that water has there high value. and
its distribution among large number
of farmers puts the laws controlling il
to the severest test. NJ. Field. in the
report, brings out the good points and
the weaknesses of the Colorado laws.
and urges such reforms as his expert
ence in enforcing the laws has shown
to be desirable.
From the beginning of its work on ir-
rigation the office of experiment stations
has made the laws affecting the use OF
water subject OF study. The national
irrigation law passed at the last session
of Congress provides that the water
made available by the expenditure of
Government funds should be distributed
under State laws. and this is making
still greater the demand for information
as to those laws. First irrigation bulle
tins published by the office gave the laws

River and It's tributaries

RUSSIA SEEKS RIGHTS
ON AFGHAN|STAN BORDER
Proposes That Great Britain
Permit Agreement.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-An important an
The effect that the British government,
recently received a communication from
the Russian government proposing that
relations of a non-politieal character
should be established between Russia
and Afghanistan in regard to frontier
matters
The British government replied that
II would be impossible 10 consider any
change in the existing arrangements
without a more precise explanation.
Russia has not yet answered this inti-
marion which mentions the understand
Ing by which Afghanistan is outside the
sphere CT Russian influence
This latest instance of Russia's initia-
tive Will be considered by Europe as a
matter of the first magnitude. That
such proposal would enamate some day
from the St. Petersburg foreign office has
been long foreseen. but the actual ex-
listing conditions along the Afghanistan
frontier. which is believed to be now
unusually quiet. make the choice of this
time for the momentous step most sig
niflcant.
Whatever developments follow, and it
ss certain that Russia will not rest upon
the bare rejection of her proposal, will
doubtless fulfill the deliberate policy
which the Cars government. having in
view the position in which the British
empire finds itself. has decided to now
launch before the world.

NAVAL BOARD ADOPTS
BOWLES' PROPOSITION
NewCruiserWill HaveSpeed
of p Knots.

The controversy in the Naval Board on
Construction over the plans for the pro
iected armored cruisers Washington an
Tennessee ended yesterday in victory for
Rear Admiral Bowles, Chief Constructor
of the Navy, whose contention that ma
chinery capable of developing 23,000
horsepower would give the vessels a
speed of % knots an hour was the main
Point of difference.
|. Rear Admiral Melville. chief of the
Bureau OF Steam Engineering. endeavor
ed TO have the board agree to give the
vessels machinery capable of developing
25,G00 horsepower.
Should the boards report be adopted
the vessels will each have displace-
ment of 1,450 tons, twenty-five knots
claimed speed. six. inches of Krupp hard
ened side armor, deck protection of four
and one-half inches at it's thickest part,
four 10-inch rifles in two turrets, and a
powerful additional battery, including a
number of 6-inch rifles. In respect to
armor and armament the vessels will
be foremost of their class in the world
! but will not be as fast as some armored
cruisers Of foreign navies. Admiral Mel
Vile declared yesterday that the board
had sacrificed speed for armor and arma-
ment, thus defeating the expressed stip-
ulation of Congress.
When the horsepower and speed ques-
tions was put TO a vote, Rear Admiral
O'Neil and Captain Sigsbee voted with
Admiral Bowles, and Rear Admiral
Bradford voted with Admiral Melville.
Admiral Bradford, however. signed the
majority report. being satisfied with the
other characteristics of the vessels. Ad-
miral Melville will present a minority
report to the Secretary Of the Navy.

| and sadness which has been their lot
for many years.
The debt of gratitude we owe our fel-
low workers in this and other lands, the
debt of gratitude we owe generous
public and friendly press. who have sup
ported and sustained us during this
memorable strike, can never be ade-
quately repaid.
For our opponents we entertain no
feeling of malice. While they have ma
ligned our characters, impugned our mo-
tives. and sought the victory by methods
which we scorn to use, yet on the day
when we have secured an avenue of re-
dress, on this day when the realization
of our hopes and ambitions seems near
when the prospect of brighter and hap
pier future seems assured. we should
hold out to them the hand of friendship
and ask them to join us in providing for
such business relations as shall for all
time establish peace and tranquility in
the coal fields. The day is past when
great organizations of capital can main
tain the false position that their en-
ployes shall be denied the right to or
ganize into compact bodies and speak
through the organizations of which they
are members. We recognize the right
of capital to consolidate, to federate,
and to speak and act through its organi
zation, but in according these rights and
privileges to capital we demand and
shall assert the same privileges for
those who toll.
Interests of Capital and Labor.
Between the combinations of capital
on the one hand and the organization nj
labor on the other there should be and
need be no irreconciliable conflict; each
factor in the economic development Of
our civilization and the application Of
business judgment and plain common
sense by each would enable them 20
work in harmony. While the interests of
labor and capital are not by any means

permit their special interests to influ-
ence their judgment in making their de-
cision, but organized labor is on that
commission. and it is there because the
President of the United States wanted
it there and because we would not agree
TO the proposition unless it was there. -
Tribunal Will Act Fairly.
Only once more did President Mitchell
get up. He explained that the tribunal
chosen by the President would act fair
ly; that he had managed to get three
men upon 1t changed from the original
three recommended by the operators
that organized labor was represented.
A delegate upheld the ending of the
strike from new point of view
1--WE are not the only people con-
cerned in this he said. IF 1t had not
been for the help of the people of this
country in giving us material assistance,
we could not have kept up the strike
as long as we have. We owe 1t to them
to do something. 1t is the people of
America who are fighting this strike
Let us settle it for them. Let us
trust in the arbitration board; they will
not give us a gold brick. Accept the
proposition as American workers should
give the American people American coal
and go back to work.
President Mitchell's face lighted at
this. and there was other applause. but
a few more objections were made. 1t
was with relief that President Mitchell
heard at this time, and his relief was

He suggested that the business should

Gentlemen: In opening this conven-
tion fer the transaction of business, |
take pleasure in extending warm greet
ings and welcome to the accredited rep
resentatives of 10000 men and boys
whose heroic struggle for living wages
and American conditions of employment
has won the admiration of the whole
civilized world. Language is made
quate to express the sense of pride l
feel in you and those you represent
Unionism Bravely Upheld.
Your noble defense of the principles
of unionism endears you to every man
for a livelihood When the history OF
the struggles of the toilers shall be
written. its pages will record no event
more important. no principle more ably
defended no battle more bravely fought
than the contest which earnestly hope
is now about to be happily ended.
1t is not my purpose to review the
progress of the strike or even to emu
lUe events WHICH
now passed into history. Imprinted in
delibly upon the hearts of our people
are the memories Of the suiferings and
bardships which have been and are being
endured.
Loyal Support of Brother Workers.
It is. of course, a source of deep re-
gret that millions of underpaid work
men in our great cities should be the
most acute sufferers by reason of this
contest between ourselves and our en-
ployers. But. strange as 1t may appear,
hundreds upon hundreds of those who
suffered most from lack of fuel sent
words of commentator and encourage
ment to us. and in many instances de-
clared that they would endure any pri-
vation in order that the miners and their
families might secure a sufficient wage
to enable them to enjoy little happi-
ness and sunshine instead of the gloom
