EXPRESS MESSENGER SECURES

THE OTHER
SEQUEL OF BURLINGTON
HOLD.UP IN NEBRASKA
Several Arrests Made, but All the sus-
poets Tell Satisfactory Stories and
Are Liberated-Messenge LuPton
Cleverly Baked the Robbers.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 13.-Arrests
have been made at several points in
the eastern section of the state in con-
nection with the Burlington train rob-
berry, but the prisoners in all instances
were able to tell satisfactory stories
and were released.
The statement that the robbrs Sc
cured booty to the value of $4,000 is
pronounced absurd by both the rail-
way and the Adams Express company.
Officials of the latter today reiterated
their previous utterances that the
booty did not amount to as much as
$1,000.
A report in express circles says that
Messenger William Lupton is - be
promoted for baking the robbers by
removing the packages from the local
safe and throwing them under the
stove, where they remained unseen
during the hold-up. LuptOn relates
that his apparent refusal to open the
express car door upon the first de-
mands Of the robbers was to take time
to empty the local safe. When he had
finished he opened the car door. The
through safe was locked, and he did
not have the combination.
Every railroad detective on the Bur-
lington lines in Nebraska, together
with three detectives from Chicago,
conferred with the railroad officials
here tonight and heard the stories of
the trainmen concerning the hold-up.
The pursuit of the robbers is to be
thorough and persistent. There were
no local arrests today, and the rail-
road officials say they have no knOwl-
edge OF any being made over the state.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-10-14

Thomas, of the Erie road, and Presi-
dent Truesdale, of the Lackawanna,
were closeted with J. Pierpont Morgan
at the latter'S Office. Mr.. Morgan would
not talk about the situation, nor would
he say anything regarding Secretary
Roots visit to him last Saturday.
In spite of the countless reports to
the contrary, there is the best authori-
ty for stating that Mr.. Morgan has up
to this time taken no active part in
any settlement negotiations. He be-
lieves that the matter rests with the
coal presidents, and is reported to
have said as much to President Roose--
welt through Secretary Root last Sat
urday.
Rumors that the strike was ended
were heard in financial circles, and in
the closing hour the stock market rail-
lied very generally from its early de-
preston. These rumorS were cireu-
lated, for the most part, by brokerage
houses with Western connections. The
conservative element paid little heed,
and denials of a settlement were au-
thorized by representatives of the
Lackawanna and the Ontario & West
ern roads.
In all probability the operators will
hold their regular weekly meeting in
this city tomorrow. President Baer
is expected to attend. Whether or not
this meeting will produce any results
is at this time a matter of conjecture.
Gov. Odell made this significant re-
mark at the Fifth Avenue hotel to-
night:
IT believe that the coal strike Is
nearer to a definite settlement than it
has been since it started"
The governor would make no expla-
nation of the reasons for his belief
further than to say: I'm my opinion
this week will see an end of n"
1t is believed that Gov. Odell was
this morning in conversation with j.
P. Morgan and President Baer, to the
latter of whom he SO forcibly outlined
his position Friday. 1t is the opinion
that Gov. Odells recommendation of a
cents per ton increase will be the ba-
sis of settlement, although the latter
may be avoided in part by asking the
men to come back to work at the ad
vanced prices, without any agreement
that they must leave their organiza-
tons, but also without any stipula-
ton that the union will be recognized
as a body.
Gov. Odell, after reaching the hotel,
refused to see visitors.
, So far as any legislative extra ses-
sion goes, it may, be said on authority
that if called it will be merely to pro-
vide money for the purchase of coal
at higher rates for the public institu-
tons and possibly to appropriate mon
ey for the relief of the poor. But, al
though the legislature might be call
ed together for these purposes, 1t is in
the power of the governor, while it is
in session to send in special mes
sage, calling for the revocation Of the
franchises of such roads In the state
as obtained their franchise for the
ayowed purpose of providing coal to
the people

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY TRAIN.
General Passenger Agents Witness a
Successful Experiment.

MONTREAL, ct. 13.-An interesting
feature of the trip of the special train
on the Grand Trunk railroad, which
passed through this city this evening
with large number of general pas
senger agents on board en- route to
Portland, Me-, to attend the annual
meeting of their association, was an
exhibition of wireless biography, the
first application of the new discovery
to railroad purposes.
The dispatching apparatus was sta
tened at st. Dominique station and
the receiving apparatus on the train,
moving at the rate of sixty miles an
hour. Communication was first estab-
lished eight miles from ST. Dominique
and continued uninterruptedly until the
station had been left eight miles be-
hind. The experiment was conducted
by scientists attached to McGin uni
versity and they describe it as having
been most successful.
