Vienna, Jan. 1.-THE Allgemeine
Izeihng. well informed on political mat
tiers, expresses apprehension of o col-
lision between British and French in-
terests in Morocco. The paper says
that after the Spanish American war,
France and Spain negotiated a special
arrangement to take common military
action in Morocco, and secured Italy's
neutrality by promising her a free hand
in Tripoli. France, irritated by the
disturbance OF the balance OF power in
Africa by Great Britain's conquest in
the transvaal. says the paper, secs the
opp6runity for revenge and the restor-
alton OF the balance OF power In Nor

MANY BANK RoHHERlEs. ]
Fifty six Safes Cracked 10 Record fol-
Four Months.

New York, Jan. 14.-Fifty-six bank
robberies In the United States in less
than four months is the record which is
worrying the country bankers.
Illinois and Nebraska head the list
with seven robberies each, Indiana has
Ave, Missouri and Texas four each;
New York. Pennsylvania, South Da-
kota, Wisconsin and Tennessee have
three each as their share: Iowa, Kan
sas, Minnesota and South Carolina each
Montana, New Mexico and Utah.
In the office Of the Pinkerton detect-
I've agency there is large map OF the
United States. which is dotted in spots
ana patches with litsie tags made fast
to It with pins. They start in the right
upper hand corner st Thomaston, Me.
The next one is in Vermont. There are
three In New York, three In Pennsyl-
yania, and thereafter swarm in In
diana, Illinois. Iowa, Nebraska and oth-
er middle western states.
The one farthest vest in this thick
settlement is marked Norman, Neb.
Then 1t is long journey to the final
stopping place at Price, Utah. There
are no tags farther west than that. The
Pacific coast Is absolutely clear of them.
on to the south there are a few. in
Texas, Georgia and South Carolina, and
up in the north there are some more.
but the great mass is not far either
way from the Mississippi river. and is
/. grouped around Chicago.
These tags form a pictorial record OF
the bank burglaries that have occurred
since Sept. 10, 1902, when the Pinker-
tons made their annual report to the
American Bankers Association. Each
one has written on 1t the name of the
town and the date OF the crime, and If
the burglary was successful; that is all.
II it was q failure for any reason, the
name and the date are preceded by
"At.," an abbreviation of the word AT
tempt"
In the bank burgling industry there
are so to speak. captains. lieutenants
and privates. There ic the "plant hun

peddler and finds out where there are

WESTERN UNION WON
Federal Court Makes Permanent In.
junction Restraining Pennsylvania
Railroad from Interfering With or
Removing Western Union Lines from
Right -of. Way.

Trenton. N. j., Jan. 14.-In the fed
eral circuit court a decision was filed
today in favor of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, restraining the
Pennsylvania railroad from interfering
with the company's lines along the
road. The injunction is made perma-
nent.
The decision as handed down recites
the following United States statute. en-
acted in July, 1866:
'.Any telegraph company now organ
ized. or which may hereafter be organ
lied under the laws Of any state, shall
have the right to construct, maintain
and operate telegraph lines over and
along any military or post roads in the
United States which have or may here
after be declared such by law. but such
lines OF telegraph shall be so con-
structed and maintained as not to In
terferej with ordinary travel on such
military roads"
All railroads are declared by law to
be post roads. The decision continues.
1T has been held that because OF this
law one company, having exclusive
privileges under a state law. can not
prohibit the erecting of the telegraph
lines of another company on post roads
where such other companies have ac-
cepted the provisions of the act when
those in control Of such roads have CIV
en- their assent. 1t has also been de-
cided that no railroad company can
bind itself by agreement to exclude
from its roadway any telegraph COM
pany incorporated under the laws OF
the state.
I'm view Of the facts presented and
for the reasons stated 1t is decided to
make permanent this injunction. On
this day the defendants will have an
opportunity to appeal to the next term
Of the circuit court Of appeals.
on the contention of the defendant
company that 1t has entered into new
contract with another telegraph com-
pany and that there lis not sufficient
room ON it's right-of-way for the lines
of more than one telegraph company
the decision says. ought to await final
determination Of the cause.

fore Judge McHenry few days ago he
asked him If there was any way he
could get to the state dipsomania hos
pital without unnecessary publicity. He
said he was no criminal, and did not
want to be taken by deputy sheriff.
The court suggested he file information
against himself and take the papers
along with him and voluntarily surren-
der to the hospital superintendent. The
papers were. duly made out and the
man went to Mt. Pleasant for that pur-
pose, but thought he would look around
first. He was admitted as a visitor at
first and looked over the hospital. Then
he quietly slipped out and returned to
Des Moines. Throwing the papers
down on the judges desk he declared:
There, take your papers; I don't want
to go to the hospital. II ! should stay
down there a week would go crazy.
just cancel these papers and make me
out a set sentencing me TO naueS IOr
three years" The. judge took the pa
pers and filed them away, with notice
to the prominent business man that II
he ever gets drunk again the commit
ment will be taken from its resting
place and be placed in the hands Of an
officer. The business man is keeping
sober now.
