HIGHWAYMEN HELD
 HIM UP, SAYS COX
KINGSTON STATION MAN RE PORTS TO POLICE HE WAS ROB- BED BY TWO MEN ON 17TH ST.. NEAR 7TH ALLEY.

Clifford Cox, a young white man who lives at Kingston station, reported to the police last night that he had. at 6:3O
 o'clock, been held up by two highwaymen
 at Seventeenth street and Seventh ave- nue, and robbed of five dollars in money and a gold watch
 He said that he had not been well re-
 gently and had come in so town yesterday
 afternoon to consult his physician. He
 was on the way out to see the doctor
 As he was walking out Seventeenth
 street he spied in the darkness near Seventh alley the figures of two men. He first saw them, he said, when he was twelve feet from them. As he came
 up to them. they slunk back in the alley, and when he was a few paces in front of them they called out to him, he says, to thow up his hands. He did as he was bidden, and they. he says, went through his pockets, taking from him a
 gold watch and five dollars in money.
 They then, he says, made off up Seventh alley.
 According to Cox's description of the two men, one was white and the other colored. The white man wore d long
 black overcoat and a skull cap. The
 negro was overcoatless. Cox says he can identify both men in case he sees them
 again.
 The highwaymen did not take a scarf
 pin stuck conspicuously in Cox's shirt
 bosom They failed also to separate him from some silver change in his coat
 pockets. These facts excited surprise in
 persons who heard Cox's story.

nous amount of valuable coal and ore properties Interests in the other south ern iron properties admit this but they claim that this coal and coke property is non-produetive and they maintain that a merger should be based on the earnings and the output
 "As Tennessee Coal and Iron stock Is not very closely held, it would not be difficult to get control of the company"
 The Wall Street Journal says:
 E. T. Schuler. president of the Alabama Steel and Wire company of Birmingham, Ala, has been in conference with the leading interests in the new Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company.
 It is said that tentative proposition has been made to A.r. schuler. which may end in his company entering the new conn bination of southern iron and steel prop critics, which is under way.
 The Alabama Steel and Wire company, whose plants are located at Birmingham, has an annual coal output of 100000 tons, 10000 tons of coke, 100000 tons of wire nails and barb wire. Its productive ca- pacity as to finished products could be largely increased in comparatively short time with an expenditure of little money.
 The company has s5COO.0oo capital. even- ly divided between comm i and preferred stock. It's bonded debt consists of s75O 900 first gold 5s, while it had on January 1 undivided profits of sl.039,343.
 In this instance negotiations have not progressed beyond the initial stage. When a prominent director of the Re- public Iron and Steel company. says the Wall Street Journal, was asked whether it was true that the directors would vote to resume dividends at their next meet ing, he replied that they would not get bis vote in favor of dividend.

MCKINNEY SCARED
ABOUT HIS CHANCES
Fully Realizes the State of Republican
Indifference Throughout
the District.

In an interview in the Burlington
Hawkeye, which is eXerting its ener-
gies to arouse the republicans in the
lower end of the district. James Nc
Kinney is reported TO have commented
on the exceedingly unsatisfactory
quiet state of things in his district-tOO
quiet. as he says. 10 suit him, in fact.
Il am up against the fact that Marsh
carried the district by over 1000 ma
jority," he said. and that the farmers
are extremely contented and disinclin-
ed to go to much trouble to vote. 1t
looks as though it is going to be very
hard to get out the full vote"
Following which Mr.. Mckinney pro-
ceods to jolly himself on how well he
is satisfied on how those of his party
who put themselves to the trouble of
voting will vote. The substance of the
whole interview, however. is that the
republican candidate sees occasion for
alarm in the very conditions that have
existed since the convention that nom
mated him was held. Apathy. the
result of the way the job was put up
to land the nomination for Mckinney,
and general Indifference as TO his can
constitute the features of the
campaign.
There is every reason, on the other
hand, why the democrats should be en-
and that no effort should be
spared 10 get the vote out. If this is
done, they may contribute more than
they know to the election of the next
from this district.
