RATE SESSION IN ALABAMA.
Special Session of State Legislature
on Railroad Problems.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. T.
The Alabama legislature, which con-
vened in special session today pur-
suant to the call of Governor Conner,
is expected to handle the railroad
problem in vigorous manner,
though an increasing conservative
sentiment is counted upon to prevent
the enactment of any laws of an ex-
ira radical nature.
The object in view will be to adopt
legislation that will assure better
train service and more reasonable
rates and to give the state power to
enforce such laws. Several other
matters will be brought up at the
session, but the railroad problems
will be by far the most important
matters to be given attention.

WASHINGTON, Nov. al
though Oklahoma will be admitted to
the union of states by the proclama-
ton of the president on November
Sc, that fact will not be formally
recognized in the American flag until
July 4, 1908. One and after that
date the blue field of the national
emblem will contain 46 stars instead
of As, as at present.
Several months ago a joint board
of the army and navy, of which Ad-
miral Dewey was chairman, adopted
a plan for the Encouragement of the
stars in the flag. The scheme was
approved by the secretaries of war
and the navy and by the president
in turn. The As stars now in the
flag are arranged in six rows, the
first, third and fifth having eight
stars, and the second, fourth and
sixth having seven each. Under the
new arrangement the first, third
fourth and sixth rows will have eight
rows seven stars each.

Bold Dash for Liberty.


The conductor recognized him and
made rush for him. Perry kept the
crowd back with his revolver and ran
across the tracks to where a coal
train was standing He uncoupled
the engine and jumped into the cab
and ordered the engineer and fireman
to get out of sight Then he pulled
the throttle open and started at top
speed. The express trains engine
was uncoupled and party started
after him.
When they were about to overtake
him he stopped his engine, reversed
1T, and started back AS he passed
his pursuers, who were on another
track, he fired two shots through the
cab window. The pursuing engine
was reversed and backed after Him.
Perry went ahead again. AS he pass
ed his pursuers this time he shot
through the cab again. The men on
the pursuing engine found they could
not catch him and went back to
Lyons. Perry found the steam Civ
ing out and abandoned the engine.
He then started across country. Fin
ally he was captured at Newark.
He was afterward convicted and
sentenced to Auburn prison for a
long term of years. He had served
about year and a half when he was
transferred to Mattewan as incur
ably insane. When he had been in
Mattewan about two years he and
four other inmates escaped from that
institution at late hour in the
night. 1t was several weeks before
he was again recaptured and he was
then transferred to Dannemora.
He has been source of constant
trouble to his keepers and the news
that he has refused to eat for four
years and that 1t has been necessary
during all that time to force nourish-
ment down his throat through a tube
does not surprise those acquainted
with the desperate character of the
man. One of the most remarkable
features of the case is that he is
stone blind, having himself ruined
his eyes in the hope that his rela-
tives, who deserted him years ago,
| would come TO his aid.

NEW STORIES OF OLIVER CUR
TISS PERRY RECALL INCIDENTS
OF THE DARING CRIME THAT
ENDED HIS CAREER AS BANDIT
AND TRAIN ROBBER.
PERRY ALSO STONE BLIND
Put Out His Own Eyes in Order to
Create Sympathy That Would Lead
to His Release From Prison-Serv-
ing Life Sentence.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE news
received from Dannemora prison this
week that Oliver Curtiss Perry is
slowly starving himself to death in
that institution has revived memoirs
of this daring and noted criminal,
who II years ago startled the entire
country with the boldness OF his train
robbing exploits.
The crime for which Perry is now
serving a life sentence was the rob-
berry of the American Express COM
pany's special train on February 81,
1892. One car of the train was
known as the money car In it was
sent the specie from the United
States treasury for Western banks.
Story of the Robbery.
On the day of the robbery the
train left Syracuse at O'Clock in
the morning. The money car was
next to the rear coach. When they
were nearing Weedsport Perry who
had ridden on top of the money car
from Syracuse, let himself over the
side of the car by means of a rope.
He smashed in the glass with his
revolver and ordered the messenger
to throw up his hands. The mes.
senger shot at Perry. Then Perry
shot him twice. Perry climbed into
the car and there was desperate
fight
The conductor heard the row and
stopped the train. Then he looked
out. Perry looked out of the express.
car when the train stopped, saw the
conductor, and shot at him. The
conductor sent brakeman back to
the next station to telegraph along
the line that they had a train rob-
Der on board. Then they went on
to Port Byron. They stopped at the
station and took care of the messen-
ger, who was badly wounded. Perry
had disappeared. At Lyons, where
the next stop was made, there was a
big crowd. Perry was in the crowd.
He had evidently got off the further
side of the train when it stood in the
station.
