of the express car and directly be-
hind the locomotive. A panel of the
side door window of this combination
car had been broken. BY pushing
his arm through the hole thus made,
one of the robbers threw back a
cast iron catch fitting over staple

ton car was not used that night and
the robbers could work without fear
of detection. There was door lead

the express car proper. Ordinarily
this door was locked, but on the
night in question Wright seems to
have failed to lock it, thus afforling
the robbers an opportunity to enter.
A thorough examination of the lock

There was a great deal of interest

men from Palisade were present at
the hearing, as the question involved
Is one of considerable interest to
Palisade, as its decision one way or
another may cost them considerable
money.
The attorneys for Mr.. Sampliner-
McMuIIin 4 Sternberg-Objected to
the introduction of any evidence or
to any further proceedings by the
court on the grounds that all the
people in interest in the application
had not been properly notified or
not notified at all, and that it was
illegal to proceed until they were
so notified, the court not having jur-
isdictiOn until such notification had
been given.

wholesome fear, but It is a remarkable
confession for the Government to have
TO make. III
For three or four years past the
Navy Department has been studying
the problem OF oil.burning boats, and
for a year there have been extensive
tests made with the smaller craft. The
tests showed what observation of the
British experiments already indicated,
that oil Is a better fuel than coal.
There has been much done with oil
burners in the British navy, Many Of
the torpedo boats and destroyers have
identified with liquid fuel apparatus.
Some even Of the larger cruisers have
used II. II has been demonstrated
that oil IL easier to tranSsbip at sea
than coal, that in the same space more
fuel can be stored. giving the boat an
increased steaming radius, and that II
is easier to handle and reduces the
number Of the crew that must be car
rled. The British navy has such al
big fiotIlla Of torpedo boats that 1t has
found II pays to put in It's own tank
steamers and establish oil depots over
the world just as It has coaling sta

that II Is impossible for the Govern.

Tor It's sinews OF war. The Standard
