BANDITS MAKE RICH HAUL.
Burlington Trail Was aHeid Up" NeaR
Lincoln, Neb-, by Three Experts In
the Bus ness.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 13.-Three
masked men held up Burlington train
No. Al, the Pacific coast express,
four miles out of Lincoln, shortly
before two o'clock Saturday morning.
They used explosives on the express
car; SCATTERING it badly and after
wrecldng the safe rified it of its con-
tents, securing an amount thought
to be $4,000.
Train Al reaches Lincoln at 1855
a. M, and leaves for the northwest
ten minutes later. 1t was a few min
utes late this morning and was in
charge of Conductor C. A. Lyman and
Engineer A. L. Clayburg. On the
crest of a hill midway between the
city and the town of Woodlawn, the
engineer saw red light waved across
the track and brought the train to =
standstill. Two men sprang quickly
into the cab, covering Clayburg and
his fireman with revolvers. They lost
NO time in giving their orders and
were just as promptly obeyed. The
express car was cut from the balance
of the train and run ahead a short
distance. They found the door locked
and after commanding Messenger
William Lupton to open it and get
ting no response, fired two or three
shots into the car. The door was
then opened. A heavy charge of dy-
Mantle on the safe literally tore it
to pieces. Fourteen packages said
to contain $4,000 each were taken, to-
gether with other valuables. The
two men who were in the car polite
~ babe the trainmen good morning,
jumped from the car and disappeared
in the. darkness. The passengers
were not molested nor were the
trainmen asked for their belongings.
Two suspects Under Arrest
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1.-two of the
alleged bandits who "he1d up Bur-
lington train near here Saturday
morning and got $4,000 in booty are
under arrest. J. H. Murray was ar
rested at Louisville, Neb. He was in
Lincoln Friday night and returned
Saturday to his home. accompanied
by man who resembles the man
who pointed a revolver at the engi-
neer. during the robbery. Murray
himself partly answers to the de-
scription given by the trainmen.

BIBLE NOT INFALLIBLE7
Delegates to the English Church Congress
Take Sensational stand as to Interpre-
tation OF the Scriptures

London, Oct. 12.-The English
Church congress, following so closely
on the death of John Kensit, the
anti-rituahst crusader, and all the
bitter feelings which that somewhat
tragic event accentuated, could scarce,
ly have been expected to be a peace
conference and to the normal dis
agreements which exist between the
high and low sections OF the church
an unexpected bone OF discord has
been added. This consists in an out
spoken criticism of the Bibles infalli
bility. The discussion consisted of an
eloquent plea from well-known per
sons for rational teaching of the n.
BILE to children, so that when they
grow up they will not discard the
inner meaning of oriental imagery az
they did the tales OF SANTA Claus"
DIR. Wordsworth, bishop of Sails
bury, and Rev. Alexander Kirkpat-
rick Regius, professor of Hebrew al
Cambridge, boldly declared they must
not regard all parts of the Bible as
being equally infallible- Rev. Edgar
Gibson, chaplain in ordinary to the
king, compared the Bible to Shakes
peare's. mythical character of Mac
beth, around which Shakespeare
built a great human document" So
other writers, he asserted, took uE
certain tabled incidents and built
around them the great truths which
made religion what it is. The clergy
was wrong in going to teaching the
Bible in the old way. The church had
nothing to fear but had much tc
gain from the new criticism.
