PUR1T1cAT1oN OF ELECTIONS.
Letter to Governor Higgins Suggesting
 ,, Legislation Given Out.

Albany, Dec. 17.-The executive com .mittee of the Association to Prevent Corrupt Practices at Elictions," of which former Mayor Seth Low of New York, is chairman gave out here to- night a letter, which has been sent to Governor Higgins, suggesting legisla- tipn for the purifcation of elections which the committee regards as desir- able, Attention is called to the fact that bribery is alleged to be rampant at elections in many parts of the state, and it Is asserted that the explicit anti bribery provisions of the penal code are disregarded because no person has a motive for their enforcement sufficient to, make him invoke the criminal laws against one who may be a neighbor andaa friend" .'5
 We believe" says the committee, that the legislature should give other weapons than the criminal law to pro- testing citizens.< Campaign contribu- tions by corporations should be prollib- tied. Itenized statements of expenses should be required of political commit tees and others, as well as of candi- dates; candidates should De punished for bribery by forfeiture of office, and political parties should be punished by loss of votes." ..->
 Legislation is proposed differing from that in force elsewhere In two import ant respects:
 "First-By providing that any citizen may force a judicial inquiry to which he shall be a party with the right of producing testimony and of examining witnesses as to the truth of statements and the existenceTof bribery.
 Secondly providing that where a political party has been guilty, by it's agents, of bribery in an election dis trtct, it shall lose its votes in that dis trict."
 Both ex-Mayor Low and MT. Osborne sign the letter to the governor which requests him to include the suggestions in his message to the legislature

 Injured. .~4
 Spokane. Wash, Dec. 17.--The North Coast limited, west4bound, on the Northern Pacific railroad was held up and robbed fifteen miles west of North Yakima, Wash, last night. Two mask ed men compelled the engineer to stop the train and run the locomotive, the mail and the express cars half a mile ahead. The robbers dynamited the ex- press cars, shattered the through and local safes and escaped with the con- tents.
 The amount of plunder taken from the through safe is unknown to the messenger. The contents of the local safe, it is said, were not of great value.
 Passengers were not molested and no one was injured. No shots were fired, according to meagre reports
 Engineer George w. Howe and the fireman at Hillside station, fifteen miles west of North Yakima, saw two men climb over the tender with drawn re- volvers. The train was stopped at the command of the robbers Then the en- zine, the express and mail cars were cut off and. run down the, track. One robber stood guard over the train crew while the second blew off the car doors. Both bandits then attacked the safes in the express car, wrecking the doors and securing the vaIuables.
 Both highwaymen wore masks and were heavily armed. Sheriffs and dep uties are after the desperadoes.
