BOLD ROBBER GETS S13O
AT WEST LIBERTY STORE

Passenger train No. II. eastbound
on the Rock Island due at 1890 a. m.
was searched by officers here last
night for bold hfghwayman who ear.
lier in the evening robbed Il business
house at West Liberty. Iowa, and got
away with $I3O and n watch. No clue
to the robber was found.
The victim of the robbery was
Frank Evans. who conducts an imple-
ment store and whose place of busi-
ness was entered by lone highway
man about 1890 O'Clock. About $3.50
in the evening. when j. B. Luse, the
grocer. was about to close his place
of business for the night. a fellow was
discovered in hiding in the back room
He was told to get out of the place
and left by the front door, but the
matter was not called to the atten-
tion of Marshal Wiley.
About two hours after he was driv-
en- from the Luse grocery, the same
fellow opened the door of the impIe-
ment house of Frank Evans and or
Iered the proprietor. who was sitting
on high stool. to throw up his hands
and turn his face towards the wall.
This Mr.. Evans lost no time in doing,
and the robber then obliged the mer-
chant to get down from the stool and
lie. face down, on the floor.
In this position the highwayman re-
lieved him of $3.50 in cash which he
had on his person and also took a
valuable silver watch which Mr.. Evans
carried. He did not stop to rife the
cash drawer, but cautioning Mr.. Evans
to be still. he backed out of the place
and made his way in the direction of
the depot, where several trains within
a few minutes pulled out of town, two
going east. two north and one south.
1t is thought that the fellow escaped
on one of these trains. As soon as he
thought it safe to do so, Mr.. Evans
arose from the floor and gave the
alarm. Marshal Wiley was promptly
on hand and Il thorough search of the
vicinity of the depot was made, but
the chances for escape were so nu-
merous that those in charge of the
search hastily made use of the teIe-
graph and telephone, apprising Off
GERS in surrounding towns to be on
the lookout for the thief. He is de-
scribed as Il short man of medium
weight, smooth face. and wearing
light overcoat and hat.

was one of his earliest visitors, in
the rooms of the federation at the
Great Northern hotel.
Solution Proposed by Coates.
Coates is an avowed socialist, and
sCid of the gathering, at which he Will
speak: There is no solution of the la
Dor problem in employers associations
labor unions or Civic Federation media
ton. The trouble today is because
of the wage system and not the guam
tity of wages. We must substitute CO.
operation for the cut-throat cOmpeti-
tive systems. Workingmen now re-
ceive only One-sixth of their product
and the balance goes for private own
ership of industry, which is upheld by
government. In my opinion the great
combinations have eliminated competi-
ton to such an extent that the sOcialis-
tic issue is already here"
Labor Commissioner Who Differs.
Labor Commissioner William II.

the room, differed from Coates and
declared that with shorter hours and
better wages universal satisfaction
