While Two Blow Safe, Five Others
stand Guard In Canover, $. ID.
Seven armed bandits blew open the
safe in the Interstate bank in Canover,
s. d., terrorized the town for an hour,
riddled hotel and several private resi-
dences with bullets, and finally escaped
with $4,000, leaving no clew to their
identity. Two of the robbers did the
work Of blowing open the safe, while the
others guarded the nearby alleys and
streets. The first charge of dynamite
awakened occupants of the hotel across
the street, but the moment lights appear
ed in the windows the bandits opened fire,
and the men in the hotel were afraid to
venture out. Nearly every window in the
building was shattered. Wherever light
showed in private residence it was fired
on, and the whole town covered in terror
while the robbers exploded another charge
of explosive, which blew the big steel door
of the safe from its hinges and prac-
tically wrecked the interior of the bank
building. Every cent of money in the
safe was taken except $1,000, which had
been placed in secret compartment and
was overlooked. The robbers, it is
thought, escaped on handcar.

NEW YORK.

Good progress has been made in accom-
modating the country to the changed
financial conditions, this, too, with strfk-
ingly little friction, considering the scare
ity of currency and the widespread sub
Stitution of credit instruments for actual
rash. At the same time wholesale and
iobbing trade has quieted down very per-
ceptibly, and the disposition in Industrial
lines has been to curtail production wher-
ever possible, the aim being TO avoid UNI
necessary or possibly burdensome accumu-
iations of stocks
There is a rather more optimistic tone
prevailing this week than last, the out
growth of the better feeling at the East,
the large arrivals of gold from Europe,
aud the idea that basic conditions, both
as regards the purchasing power of the
people and the absence of large stocks,
are better than in some preceding years
of stress. There are, it is true, increasing
evidences that the level of commodity
prices has been forced unreasonably high.
and that the process of readjustment will
compel numerous revisions.

BOOSTS POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Postnaster-GeneraI @. Won l.. Meyer
to the Industrial Club.

Fostmaster-General q. Won l.. Meyer
to the Industrial Club.
Extension of the parcel-post service
and the establishing of postal-savings
banks under the fostering care of the gov
eminent were given long boost forward
by George Won l. Meyer, Postmaster
General, Thursday night when he had fin
ished his address before the Industrial
Club and its guests at the Auditorium
hotel in Chicago. Referring to postal
savings Mr.. Meyer said: During the
fiscal year ended on June 80, 1907, the
Postofice Department sent TO Europe
money Of the immigrants to the extent OF
81, 100000, of which S19,0OO,OOO vent
to Italy (sent by more than 4I5,OOo
money orders, averaging 81 each), 49,
$4,000 to Hungary, 100000 TO Aus
tria, 1920, 600 to Russia and 81, 5S2,OOO
to Great Britain. This merely represents
a slight portion of their savings, because
1t is human nature to give away but
small part. Such money, while 1t was
accommodating, might have been put into
the postal savings banks" On the sub
ject of the parcel post the Postmaster
General said: 1--WE have to-day parcel
post conventions with thirty-two foreign
countries. The rate to each OF these
countries is ~ cents a pound. What
desire to call wildly to your attention
is the fact that if any one in Chicago
goes to the postoffice with two parcels
of four pounds each, one addressed to
New York and the other addressed to
some friend in a foreign country, the rate
on the one to New York will be 16 cents
a pound or 81 cents, while on the one to
the foreign country the rate will be II
cents pound, or 4S cents. Should each
parcel weigh four pounds and two ounces,
the parcel addressed to New York would
not be accepted, while that addressed to
the foreigner in another country would go
to New York and on to its destination at
the rate of IL cents a pound. This APP
pears to me to be an injustice to our
people-in fact, an un-American practice.
Therefore, the department will recon-
mend the same rate and the same limit of
weight for parcels, whether intended for
delivery in this country or abroad, which
means a reduction in the rate of cents
a pound and an increase in the weight of
seven pounds, eleven pounds being the
weight limit to foreign countries. This
is only equitable"

SANTA FE HEAVILY FINED.
Los Angeles Judge Infifcts Penalty
OF $3.50, 900 for Giving Rebates.

Los Angeles Judge Infifcts Penalty
of $3.50, 900 for Giving Rebates.
A fine of $330,000 was imposed on the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad
by Judge Ollin Wellborn in the United
States District Court at Los Angeles for
granting rebates to the Grand Canyon
Lime and Cement Company of Arizona
on shipments from Nelson, Ariz-, to Los
Angeles.
This sertence follows the conviction
of the rad on Oct. IL last by federal
grand jury, which returned verdict Of
guilty on sixty-six counts after deliberat-
ing only an hour. The punishment rep
resents a penalty Of $1,000 for each
charge. but falls short of the maximum
fine allowed under the law by $4,000,
though it exceeds the minimum by $254,-
600.
Rejecting the Santa FEES plea that it
was rot aware it was breaking the FL
kins act, the judge held that the conces-
SONS had been intentionally and system
atically made. Even if the company was
ignorant of the law, said the decision, this
would imply "a degree of negligence we'll
nigh equivalent to guilty knowledge" The
court also dismissed as unworthy of Gre
dence the statement that the sums paid
were in recompense for damages to goods
in transit.

Developments Predicted to Help
Steel Industry.
Predictions are made in Pittsburg that
the delay of the railroads in placing or
ders for steel rails will be ended within
thirty days, when, it is expected, upward
of 100000 to 100000 tons will be or
dered. The importance of this business
to the iron and steel trade of Pittsburg is
hard to overestimate. The vast tonnage,
amounting at least to S56,000,000, will
place the trade on its normal basis and
strengthen every other branch of the steel
industry. Recently it was announced
that seventeen steel corporation furnaces
had been blown out. One result of the
new orders would be the forcing of q
majority Of these furnaces to resume OPP
erations.

FOR AMERICAN CONTROL.

Former President Palma Favors
United States Rule I'm Cuba.
Tomas Estrada Palma, formerly Presi-
dent of Cuba, has authorized tie publica-
ton of his opinion regarding American
intervention. He declares in favor of
United States control in Cuba. 1T is
enough to satisfy my conscience he says,
this conviction of having saved my be
loved country from anarchy and its nat
ural results of plumber and ruin. If /
did right or wrong time will say. That
my attitude was Immediately justified is
proved by the sudden re-establishment
of peace through the moral and material
influence of the Americans. i do not
hesitate to declare that it is a hundred
times better for our beloved Cuba to be
in a dependent political situation, in
which liberty is prevailing, than in a re-
public independent of a sovereign, but dis
credited and ruined by blasting periodical
civil strifes." The letter is considered
important, as Palma still has great infu-
ence with large number of Cubans.

GOLD IN A RECORD TRIP.
Lusitanin, with S12,O0O,00O ON
Board, Clips Her own Time.


Carrying a cargo OF S12 1000. 900 in gold
for American banks. the Cunard turbiner
Lusitania arrived in New York, after
having beaten its own record for time
across the Atlantic. The west-bound trip
had been made in 4 days Is hours and 40
minutes. The vessel has beaten the rec
ord by one hour and twelve minutes.
Incidentally the Lusitania added sew
eral new records to her credit. These
include the best single days run-61S
knots, made Nov. Gan average of more
than 600 knots for every full day and an
average hourly speed of 24.25 knots for
the full 2,7S1 miles
The former western record of the tur
biner, completed Oct. II last, was days
10 hours % minutes. The average speed
on that trip was "a knots an hour for
the distance of 2,7S1 miles. The best
days run was GIT knots.
The S12,000,000 brought by the Lusi-
tania is the largest amount of gold ever
carried in single ship, and it gives the
Cunarder another worlds record.
To stop the flow of gold to America the
directors of the Bank of England have
advanced the discount rate to Z per cent.
This is the first time since 1873 that the
rate has been at this figure. The Psnk
