John L. Brandt and his daughter, Miss
Virginia, who was detained here Mon
day while on her way to the Pacific

ed left for st. Louis this morning. At
some town near st. Louis they will be
joined by Mrs. Brandt and will go to
Indianapolis where they will keep
the young lady in perfect quiet until
she has fully recovered from the eff
fects of the blow the drugs and the
terrible fright which she has suffered
in her strange experience in the heart
of the business district Of st. Louis
last Saturday morning.
Miss Brandt was weak and suffering
when she left today but her mind was
clear and recollection of the happen
ings of her experience in st. Louis and
of her subsequent journey were rapid
ly coming back to her.
The doctors pronounce the young
lady's mental condition due entirely
to the blow and the drugging and are
positive she will recover rapidly under
proper conditions.
Miss Brandt has been able to de-
scribe minutely the eabman and alsc
the man who forced her into the cal
at the door of the Missouri-Lincolr
Trust company as she came out of the
bank with the money of which shC
was robbed.

slugglnF of Miss Nina Virginia Brandt
before the doors of the Missouri Lin
coin Trust company last Saturday n
version of which has been wired to
this city from Las Vegas, N. NJ, where
the young lady was detained.
"The case is a very unusual one"
said Chief Desmond, "and one which
cannot be entirely cleared up until
Miss Brandt is fully restored to con-
seriousness and can talk nationally of
what happened. Here is a case of a
young woman whose character cannot
be questioned sugged and drugged as
she stepped from the door of a promi-
nent bank thrown into cab and car
ried away, we do not know where.
The young lady does not know what
she has done since, and does not know
why she disguised herself, or why she
thought ii necessary to get away from
st. Louis when her natural course
would have been to go home and tell
her father. 1t Is a curious case"

FEBRUARY EARNINGS OF
SANTA FE ARE VERY HEAVY
Increase Over Same Month of Prev
ious Year S1,700,0OO.

San Francisco, Mar, 2S.-While the
official reports of the business done
by the Santa Fe during February Will
not be made public until the end OF
the month of March. It has leaked
out that both the gross and net earn
ings have greatly outdone all previous
records for this same month. 1t Is
said that never in the history of the
road has a better February been eX-
perienced. Gross earnings of this
month have been increased by Sl,70O,-
600 and the net earnings by S1,0OO,-
900 over February of last year.
The cause of these increased earn
ings hds been the flood of tourist
traffic of late and the Increased
freight traffic. A great deal Of heavy
machinery has been recently trans
ported from the east for shipment to
China. The boycott, however, say the
Santa Fe officials seriously threat
ems the traffic of the future.

Washington, Mar 2S.-Mr. Knox
made his first set speech in the senate
today He spoke on the railroad rate
question and dwelt almost exclusively
with the legal feature of the problem.
When Mr.. Knox concluded the SEN
ate entered upon the consideration OF
the conference report on the bill reg
ulating the final disposition of the
affairs of the five civilized tribes OF
Indians and much objection was ex-
pressed to many of the changes. Some
of these were criticised on the ground
that the conference committee had
transcribed its authority by the in
sertion of new matter. There was a
renewal of discussion of the disposal
of the coal lands in Indian Territory
and several senator's including Messrs.
La Toilette, Clark, of Wyoming, and
Tillman, expressed disapproval of the
conference provision authorizing the
secretary of the interior to lease lands.
Mr.. La Toilette discussed the pro-
vision dealing with the Indian Terri
tory coal lands saying that there are
known to be 437 1000 acres of these
lands ANA that they are worth not less
than $4,000, O00 and possibly much
more. He believed the senate should
call a halt of the disposal of lands
until inquiry can be made by the sem
ate relative to the matter. The leasing
of the lands would be as unfortunate
as their sale.
Mr.. Tillman suggested that In or
der to prevent the railroads from get
ting control of the Indian Territory
properties the government should it
self purchase the lands.
| He read a letter from a corresponds
| ent Mt Edmund. /. r., saying that.
| knowing the place is only 125 miles
| from the mines in that territory, the
| Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe COM
| pany insists on bringing coal from
/ Colorado in order to get the long haul
while people in that town are COM
PEELED to pay IS a ton for bituminous
coal.
He expressed the belief that the rail-
roads either bv transfer or some 9TH
er hocuspocus" had got control OF
| practically all the leases He said II
congress did not take some step to
prevent railroad control he would NOT
Undertake TO say what would happen.
'If." he added. there should be an
other anthracite coal strike in mid
winter when thirty or forty millions
of people are concerned. there is sure
to he something doing"
Mr.. Teller contended that the only
way of settling the numerous difficult
ties connected with the Indian Terri
tory Is to incorporate It in state and
he said this would have been done "a
year ago but for the insstence on at
tachIng the Arizona-New Mexico state
hood proposition to the Oklahoma
bill. The consideration Of the ques-
ton had not been concluded when the
senate adjourned.
The remained OF the day was de-
voted to consideration of the bill and
more progress was made than In all

grounds for his arrest, Mr.. Mallet,

"In so much as my arrest for car

"and as the warrant for my arrest
was sworn out by the district attor-
ney Of this county, I am OF the
opinion that should not talk Of the

four appeared to have been made lat
er. The men in the basement had
been killed by having their throats
cut, and the police are inclined to be-
lieve they were murdered for their
money and that a free for all fight fol-
lowed over division of the spoils
This is Indicated by the wounds on
the bodies found in the upper rooms
Their faces were slashed almost be-
yond recognition. and there were
wounds all over their bodies, all, how.

! throats. one man had fallen against
hot stove, and the right side of his

The fight for money theory is borne
