Police at Stations on Third Ave-
nue. Line as Train Stopped to
Receive Receipts for Past
1Wenty-four Hours.
HEADQUARTERS GOT TIP
OF PROPOSED H0LD-UP.
Scheme Said to Have Been Con-
ceived by Band of Organized
Crooks from the West Now in
the City.

Warned through some anonymous
source that the money train OF the
Third avenue elevated railroad was to
be held no between Harlem and the
Battery. policemen wcre at every ele-
waited station Of the Third avenue ell
evated TODAY until the money-laden
cars had passed.
How tho warning was received at Po-
lice Headquarters is one OF the secrets
carefully guarded. 1t is said that The
warning came yesterday, n was
thought so significant by Police Com
missioner McAdoo and his subordinates
that he issued a typewriter statement
20 the captain of every precinct In
Manhattan along the Third venue L
line.
Train Well Known.
This statement was strictly conhden-
tial. and every captain was warned
that he must assign his most careful
men to the stations, and that these
men should under no consideration let
any one know what their presence III
the stations meant. The Commissioners
wal especially anxious that no details
Of the planned hold-up be made public
either before or after the guard had
been set.
1t the offices of the Elevated Rail-
road Company every effort was made to
keep secret the plans of the thieves.
It was learned, however. that the piah
of robbery was conceived by a gang
OF Western bandits who are now In
New York. Every detail had peer ar
ranged for the robbery. 1t was ex-
pected to AXE place when the train
pulled up at the Ninety-nfnth street
station on the downtown side. when
the car would have been well filled
with the receipts for the past twenty
four hours.
Plan of Desperadoes.
The bandits were, so 1t Is said. to
have made their way to the station.
and when the train pulled init was
due there about as A. M.-they were

engineer and fremen win their pis-
tolls and loot the train.
At every station along the line of
road there were policemen and plain
clothes men. The policemen were mostly
the men who recently were assigned
to duty along the elevated stations by
Commissioner McAdoo. With them. but
standing on the street. were detectives

FREED
ON MURDER CHARGE
Jury Finds Patrolman William
H.. Bosse Not Guilty of the
Death of Patrick Farrell in
Brooklyn.

Friends of Policeman william II.
Bosse applauded to-day when the Jury
brought in a verdict OF not guilty in
the Criminal Branch OF the County
Court, Brooklyn. Bosse was charged
with killing Patrick Fl. Farrell on
March 20 In a saloon on the corner of
Myrtle avenue and Raymond street.
The jury was out twenty-five min
utes. The applause that followed the
acquittal was quickly stopped by the
Judge. and when Bosse walked out OF
the courtroom he was accompanied by
a band OF sympatizers.
On March % Bosse went into q ga
loon. where, according to his evidence.
he saw Farrell fall on the moor and
smash his head. Bosse then left to
summon an ambulance. When he re-
turned with another policeman the
doors were locked and the men had To-
break into the place. Farrell was found
in a mall room in very bad shape. He
afterwards died In the hospital.
Bosse was discharged after being ar
rested on suspicion, but a brother OF

arrested. This was done and the pres

The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1904-11-08

1t is hard to understand how sensi
BILE people can work themselves up tic
such pitch as to manufacture silly
and unreasonable faIsehoods and then
| seemingly believe them. Time and
time again the Fairmont Times has
manufactured lies out of the whole
cloth and then swore by all the saints
in the calendar that they We're true.
Last spring the stories about col
onizing negroes were false in every
detail; a few weeks ago similar
falsehood was sprung. but for some
| reason it was dropped after two at
tempts to maintain it's auth enticity.
The latest effort at incendiarism OF
the public mind was the rot which
emanated from a diseased mind to
the effect that the Republicans were
going 20 try to appoint both poll
clerks from their political party. "A
baser and more nonsensical bit of
froth never foamed from the poison
injected into printers ink. 1t is so
weak and pusillanimous as to be ri
diculous. On a par with this was that
endless chain bugaboo which was
never heard OF until concocted by the
hired man of the Times.
Many people, WHO. few weeks
ago, swore by the Times are now
swearing at it about as vigorously as
the English language will allow, and
many whose church affiliations Will
not allow them to swear are using
other means of expressing their dis
gust with such a contemplate sheet.
The West Virginan has a record for
reliability. among Republicans and
Democrats alike, of which it feels
pardonably proud, and notwithstand-
ing it does not pose as independent or
non.partisan, claiming to be all things
to all men, it gives the truth as it
gets il and expresses such opinions
as it has without attempting to falsify
everything which passes over the
rollers of its presses.

Another Campaign Charge.

| That is a very curious example of
/. the final campaign charge which Gov
(, ernor Odell produced against Judge
Parker as a reply to the latter's i'll
judged attack on President Roosevelt
densed in the following paragraph;
| from Governor Odell's speech:
t Judge Parker was one of the nuder-
/ writer's of the Shipbuilding Trust, and
in the Official Serial of June IS, 1904,
I you will find court decision of his
quoted in which he said that persons
who have invested money in a GER
tain big com bination of capital could
get after the promoters who got them
into it and recover the money they
lost. I have already brought suit I'M
der that decision to recover some
money I lost
issues of casuistry. In the form
quoted above it conveys an impress
sion that Judge Parker on the bench
gave a decision in case in which
he had a pecuniary interest. But the
New York Tribune. which undertook
ito support the charge. conceded that
TIE decision was not given in the
Shipbulding case. Nor is it alleged
that the decision was wrong in prin-
cip1e. 1t permits Governor Odell to
try to recover some of his money. The
issue of ethics. therefore. is whether
a Judge who has had his house rob
bed is debarred from ruling in an en-
tirely separate robbery that the vic
tim can recover his stolen goods.
So the charge SINNERS down to
the assertion that the Judge had in
vested in trust stocks, Curiously
enough, the New York Tribune. in
pressing the charge stipulates that cit
is not charged that Judge Parker's
investment in good corporation was
improper" We are disposed to differ
from it there. Certainly it is to be
wished that people who are going to
pose as antitrust candidates should
not buy trust stocks. But the funny
aspect of this case is Governor Odel's
evidence to support the charge. He
knows that Judge Parker invested in
true stocks because the Judge made
those investments in company with
Governor Odell!
Some years ago in one of the pc.
litical controversies of these parts q
political magnate spoke the last word
by publicly declaring that his antag-
onists 'have brought themselves
down to my level" Governor Odell
seems to have established the same
point against Judge Parker.-Pitts.

Some questions have been asked
about why a fair election day is call
ed Republican weather. There is a
reason for it. The up State vote in
New York and the farmer vote in
the New England States, and in fact
in many of the States, are strongly
Republican. Rainy weather keeps
many of these voters at home, but
on sun-shiny day they come out and
vote the Republican ticket. Unless
all signs fail Roosevelt and Fair
banks will sweep the country today

NO ALIEN LAND LAW7
A Topeka Dispatch Said the Suit Affect
ing the De Bossiere Estate Near
Ottawa Must Be Fruitless'


Topeka, Kan, Feb. 9.-The legisla.
ture of 1891 thought it passed law
10 prohibit aliens from acquiring real
estate by descent or purchase in Kan,
sas and to require aliens then holding
land in the state to sell it within three
years. This has been known as the
"alien land law" and was repealed by
the legislature in 1901, having been on
the statute books just ten years. Con-
siderable litigation grew up in the
courts of The state by reason of the
provisions of this law, the most i'm
portant case being that recently insti-
tuted in the name of the state Of Kan
sas against Troutman & Stone to re-
cover over 1000 acres of land in Frank
lin county known as the De Bossiere
estate. This is the suit in which Gov.
Bailey employed Bale P. Waggener,
of Atchison, as attorney in behalf of
the state and for which the governor
has been SO severely criticised Not
withstanding the repeal of the law
three years ago, the present suit is
founded upon its provisions.
Now it has been discovered that the
law passed in 1891 and repealed in
1901 was not legally enacted by the
legislature, and, as matter of fact,
Kansas has never had an alien land
law.
