TRAIN ROBBERS
WILL NOT APPEAL
Black Brothers and Murphy Desire tc
Begin Serving Sentences As
Soon As Possible.

1t was stated at the penitentiary
this afternoon that John Black, James
Black and John Murphy had decided
to accept the sentence of seven years
each in prison for holding up ROCK
island train near Logan, this Terri
tory, and not to take an appeal from
the decision of the Fourth Judicial
District Court at Las Vegas, where
they were tried: 1t is understood the
men have not sufficient funds to con-
tinue the fight for liberty and that
they desire to begin serving their
sentences as soon as possible in or
der to get them over with. 1t is
probable that the men. who are
United States prisoners, will be re-
moved to the federal prison at Leav-
enworth during the coming spring,
unless they change their minds and
again take their case into the courts

serve. consisting of 537,220 acres, in

ARE RAILROADS

nor.
PEOPLE SHOULD CONTROL
Common Carriers---Suggests
Appointment of Federal
Freight Agent.

New York, Jan. Taking as his
subject ARE our railroads public high
ways or private roads," Judge Will
lam J. Gaynor addressed the Forum
last night. He took the position that
all railroads are public highways,
controlled in fact by the national gov
ernment and by the people OF the
states through which they run.
Opposed to Government Ownership oi
Railroads.
At considerable length he discussed
the legal aspect Of the case between
the people and the railroads. He said
that while he personally objected tC
government ownership of railroads
he was convinced that as a last re
sort the people of this country would
compel the government to own the
railroads unless the abuses which II
his opinion now existed could be pre-
vented
Government Appoint Freight Agent.
AS remedy he suggested that the
government appoint general frelgh
agent for each railroad. In conclu
sion he spoke Of the lower rates giveT
freight coming from foreign countries
to offset the protective tariff duties
These rates are some times as low a:
one-sixth of the rates given domestic
goods.

HEARST INDEPENDENT LEAGUE
It Runs Ticket in Town Election in
Seneca Falls.

Seneca Falls, N. Y, March 1s-The
complication of the election in this
town has been greatly increased by
the running of an independent ticket
by the Independent league or Hearts
party, which has not given up the
ghost, by any manner of means, but is
determined to fight on its own hook,
without any reference to the demo-
cracy. The organization Of the Inde-
pendent League Citizens club came as
a great surprise to all classes of citi-
zens, the new organization putting into
nomination for village president Geo.
b. Nearpass. 1t is predicted that he
will make a strong run, carrying a
large following of his fellow democrats
but the democrats insist that Nearpass'
nomination has increased the chances
of their candidate, Ferdinand Iseman.
The struggle is certainly lively one.

AUTO CASES.

Cleveland, March 19.-Mayor John
sons dismissal OF a case against two
automobiles and the discharge of the
policeman making the charge against
them has greatly pleased the automo-
.bilists, who claimed that they We're
not proceeding as fast as the police
man claimed they were. The culprit
was the superintendent of an auto
mobile factory, who while testing a
car on Euclid Heights hill, was halted
by a policeman, who claimed that the
superintendent was travelling Eat the
rate of $50 feet every 8 or 8 seconds,
or a speed of twenty five miles an
hour Notwithstanding the remon-
STRANGE OF the superintendent that the
auto meter in the car showed a speed
of twelve and a half miles an hour,
the party was taken to the station for
trial. Before the case was called, the
policeman discovered his mistake, and
on his temperance boldly claimed
that the car was travelling at the rate
of 800 feet every s or 8 seconds twice
that first claimed, and making the rate
of speed twenty-five miles an hour.
The party swore that their auto
meter showed twelve and a half miles
an hour. The case finally came before
Mayor Johnson, an experienced motor
list himself. and he took the word Of
the mtorist, dismissed the case and
also dismissed the policeman.

WILL HAVE TO BORROW.
London Reform Is Up Against Hard
Proposition.

London, March 19-rLondon's repu-
diation of municipal ownership and
municipal socialism has been followed
by similar results throughout the
country, and the following result is
that a great deal of borrowing will
have to be done, for invariably the
socialists have proved to be better at
running in debt than in paying it..
The new regime in the metropolis
finds itself confronted with an embar-
RAISING situation. The old council left
unpaid bills amounting to $25, 900, 900
and future commitments aggregating
S100,000,O0O This necessitates an inn
mediate new loan of $35,000,O00. These
disclosures have caused London secur-
tiles, which rose sharply on the result
of the election, to fall to the old fig
ures. The first measure taken will be
to organize an independent audit of
accounts to ascertain the true condi-
ton of the city's finances.
