THEY FEARED TOJUMP
Until the Train Had Slowed UD
in the Yards.
Policemen i'm an Auto Captured
the Whole Bunch.

New York, July IA daring attempt
to hold up and rob freight train on
the Pennsylvania railway at Railway,
N. j., was frustrated by Engineer Will
liam b. Lawrence. The robbers, four
negroes, were captured after an auto
mobile chase.
The freight train was approaching
Railway when the engineer saw a sig
nal to stop. When he did so he was
surprised to see four negroes jump from
behind a clump of bushes and climb on
board. One of the men boarded the en-
gine while the other three got on the
train. The negro on the engine ordered
that one car be uncoupled from the
train and left behind to be ransacked
by them. He threatened that there
would be trouble if the order was not
complied with.
Realizing that a fast express train
would be along in a few minutes, the
engineer graSped the throttle and set
the train going at full speed, while the
negro looked on in amazement. Twice
the men endeavored to jump from the
train, but fear of being dashed to death
prevented them and they hung on until
the train reached the freight yards of
the company at Waverly, twelve miles
away. There the men fled into the coun-
try, but policemen who were notified
pressed an automobile into service and
the negroes were soon overtaken and
arrested.

DODGE STATE COURTS.
Nebraska Railroads Seek to Get Case
Before Federal Judges.

Lincoln, Neb., July 12.-Before
Judges w. H. Munger and T. c. Mum
ger of the federal court, attorneys for
the railroads this morning sought to
have the cases filed by the state of
Nebraska to compel observance of
anti-railway legislation removed from
the state to the federal courts. Wheth-
er or not the state is a real party at
interest when attempting to enforce
its own laws in its own courts was de-
bated. Judge w. D. McHugh, of
Omaha, representing the Union Pa
cific, and Attorney General Thomp-
son appearing for the state.
The case is similar to the Missouri
suit In the Nebraska case the state
acted first, the railways asking for re-
movaI of the suit The state sought
injunctions to prevent the Union Pa
cific, the Burlington, Missouri Pacific
and the Rock Island from disregard
ing the two cent fare law, the maxi
mum freight rate law the antipass
and railway combination acts passed
by the last legislature. The railroad
attorneys insisted that the state was
not a real party to the suit as it had
no pecuniary interest in the matter.
The attorney general quoted from
Justice Brewers opinion in the Debs
case seeking to show that ito prevent
the wrong doing of one resulting in
injuring the general welfare is often
sufficient to give it standing in
court"

new PLAN OF CONTROL.
1t Is Suggested That Uncle Sam Be-
come Stockholder in Railroads.

Chicago, July ia dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
An entirely new and extremely radi-
cal proposition for control of the rail-
roads has been advanced for the con-
sideration of President Roosevelt. 1t
involves partial government ownership
of transportation lines by actual pur-
chase of stock.
The suggestion has been made in a
semi official way, but whether Presf-
dent Roosevelt would adopt the scheme
which is so nearly socialistic in it's de-
velopment, may well be doubted. 1t has
ually considering such a recommended
ton and that it is part of the PROPOSE
ton to bring the railways to time by
securing receivers for them. The two
schemes fit into each other perfectly.
1t would be practically impossible for
the government to secure the appoint
ment of receivers or control in any way
receivers after they were appointed,
unless it had a monetary interest in
the railroad. If 1t owned stock, no
matter how small an amount, it would
have a standing in court, the same as
the largest creditor of the road.
The idea of the purchasing of stock
is a practical one, but it is undenia bly,
government ownership on a small scale,
and inevitably would result in actual
of those who have advanced this
scheme for the consideration of Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is that by a compara-
lively small investment in the stock
there might be a small measure of
government ownership, but without any
government control so far as the run
ming of the road is concerned.

pairing Plates for One

Order Just Issued.
WRITE ON BOTH SIDES.
One-Third of Address Surface

For Message Either Written or
Printed.
WRITE ON BOTH SIDES.

Washington, July 12.-For years
Americans and others have been send
ing to the United States from foreign
countries postal cards and post cards.
private mailing cards, with messages
written on the front as we'll as on the
back of the cards. although in this
country this advantage has been de-
MED the users of government postal
cards. Some months ago the United
States postal laws and regulations
were amended so as to give that
privilege to buyers of post cards, but
such concession was not made ap-
plicable to postal cards.
In order to remedy this incon-
sistency and to prevent any further
confusion and annoyance TO the pub
lie Postmaster General Myer today
promulgated an order effective Au-
gust 1, 1907, providing that the face
side of a postal card may be divided
by a vertical line placed approximate
ly one third of the distance from the
left end of the card, the space to the
LETT of the line to be used for a mes
sage, ETC., the portion to the right to
be used for the address only. A very
thin sheet of paper may be attached
if it completely adheres to the card
and such paster may bear both writ
ing and printing. Advertisements,
OT WIIIlAS may dPPSdI
on the back of the card and on the left
third of the front. Postal cards bear
ing particles of glass, metal, mica,
sand tinsel or other such substances,
are declared to be unavailable. except
when enclosed in envelopes with
proper postage affixed, or when treat
ed in such a manner as will prevent
the Objectionable materials from be-
ing rubbed off or injuring the hands
of persons handling the mails.
The contractor at Rumford Falls,
Me-, is now putting in new machinery
for the manufacture of postal cards,
and the department will furnish
plates for postal cards of new design
conforming to the conditions of the
amended regulations.

CLEARED IN FIVE MINUTES
ssUnwrittcn Law Scores Another Tri-
umph in the Old South.

Laplata, Nd, July I'm five min
utes after retiring verdict of acquit-
tai was returned by the jury in the
case of Mrs. RoWie and her son, who
were tried for the murder of Hubert
Posey.
The case was given to the jury at
1925 p. m. and the court then took
recess.
States Attorney Winners statement
last evening that the prosecution
would be satisfied with a verdict Of
manslaughter was a surprise and was
met by the demand of former State
Senator Posey, for the defense that the
jury either acquit or find the accused
guilty of murder. Congressman Sid
ney E. Mudd, of counsel for the de-
fense in his address to the jury dis
claimed belief in the insanity of Mrs
Bowie or her son, though he declared
that under the circumstances they
should not be held responsible men
tally or legally, for having killed Posey
when he had refused to marry Mrs.
Bowie's daughter after betraying her.
1.-THE family in this land of ours is
the nucleus and the nursery of the
commonwealth. The protection OF
the sanctity of the family ties, the
and maintenance of a sa1utary respect
for the honor of the mother, the sister
and the daughter becomes, therefore
a natural and essential feature of the
law in this land. In nearly every state
of this country there will be found
an mpliffcatien and recognition or
this act and an adoption of this doc
trine. 1t is in this sense that 1 con-
fidently claim the protection of what
1 have called the 'unwrittenT law as an
adequate defense for these defen-
dantS.''

SIX STORIES HIGH.
Bank of Topeka Building Will Be
Taller Than Planned.

The plans for the remodeling of the
Bank of Topeka building, corner of
Sixth and Kansas avenues, have been
changed and the building when compile
ted will be six stories in height in
stead of five as was originally contem-
plated. 1t was the intention to utilize
the south wall of the present building
but this has been found to be impracti-
cal and it will be torn out and a wall
built to conform with the architectural
design of the remainder of the building.
When it was found that the south
wall could not be used it was decided
to add another story to each of the
buildings that are now being remodel
ed. The top story will be used for Of
fees when completed as will all of the
building excepting the first floor which
will be utilized by the bank.

FOURTEEN CHANGES.
Oklahoma Constitution Is Made Over
at Adjourned Session.

Guthrie, Okla, July 12.-Fourteen
important changes in the constitution
for the proposed state of Oklahoma
have been made by the convention.
The most important modifies the in
itiative and referendum provision by
elimina ting the section allowing the
governor to take means to put into
effect any law in the event of the
LEGISLATURES refusal to act upon it.
Another vital change eliminates the
plank forbidding foreign corpora
tions to appeal from the decision of
state courts. Another amendment
gives home railroads the right to
merge but denies the prerogative to
foreign corporations. Other altera-
tions affect the appropriation, habeas
corpus provision, court power of con-
tempt, religious tolerance, suffrage
rights and election of the state board
of agriculture.

ENGINE PULLS UP THE TREES.
Steam Grader Used to Uproot Large
Cottonwoods in North Topeka.

The steam grader engine that was ta-
ken over to North Topeka the other
day is at present being used for the
purpose of pulling up the large trees
that are in the way of the street grad
ing. The shade trees that have lined
Kansas avenue on the north side have
to be taken out. Instead of chopping
the tree down first and then pulling
up the stumps, the men in charge are
going at it in a more effective way.
They pull the whole tree up by the
roots.
The roots of the tree are chopped off
around the outside of the tree so as
to keep it from tearing up too much
of the ground. Then man climbs it
with small rope and by means of it
he draws up large chain. The chain
is attached to the trunk Of the tree
about 20 feet from the ground, and
after the climber is out of the way the
work begins. The engine pulls the tree
over and after the remaining roots
have been cut off it hauls it off to
some vacant lot where it can be cured
for fire wood. Some of the trees pulled
up are three feet in diameter, and of
great height. The work is attracting
much attention and large crowds of
people are watching it from beyond the
danger line.
