WOMAN HELD IN TRAIN HoLDUP.

Federal Authorities Detnin Lillian
Stephenson as Witness.
Jack Shelton, alias Jack Gordon,
and Lillian Stephenson arrived in
Omaha the other night in charge of
two deputy inspectors. Shelton will
be charged with being one of the men
who held up and robbed the Over
land Limited train on the Union Pa
cific and the woman will be held as
a witness. The Stephenson woman
said she would tell all she knew. She
declared she had heard nothing of the
holdup until her arrest, and that Shell
ton had given no information on that
subject. The authorities gave up the
idea that there vas a fifth man in
the hold-up and will proceed with the
prosecution of the four men now ar
der arrest.

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft
would use an automobile, instead of
carriages. during his term as Presi-
dent. much rivalry developed among
the leading manufacturers for the
honor of selling him a car, and the
public watched with interest to see
what Mr.. Taft's choice would be. The
knowing ones predicted that the White
Steamer would be selected, and they
pointed out that President Roosevelt
had used White Steamers for two
years at his summer home at Oyster
e. Bay, and had recommended this make
to Mr.. Taft as the most desirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely
on Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation,
but with his usual, thoroughness. de-
termined to have an Investigation
made Of all the principal makes. Ac-
cordingly, he asked several officers of
the War Department to look into the
matter for him, and they tested many
makes of cars, visited a number of
factories. SO that they might see what
materials were used, and, finally, they
investigated the records of the differ
ent types of cars in public contests
and in private service.
When their labors were completed,

has the United States coat-of-arms
painted on either door. In other
words, when we make a car for the
President of the United States there
is no way in which we can make it
any better than the car which you,
or anybody else, can purchase from
u.s."
Some of those writing to me about
Mr.. Taft's car say that, although they
are very DESTROYS of having ear like
Mr.. Taft's, they are afraid that such
a car is somewhat larger and more
expensive than they desire. In reply
to these letters l point out that our
Model o. 20 horsepower car is ex-
actly like our 40 horsepower model,
except as regards the size of the diff
ferent parts. The principle of con-
struction is exactly the same and the
smaller car possesses all the desirable
qualities of our larger model. In
other words, point out that they can
secure an exact duplicate of Mr.. Taft's
car for $4,000, or a car of the same
qualities, but of smaller dimensions,
for only $4,000. Judging by the de-
mand for White cars, a good proper
ton of those desiring to purchase au-
tomobiles are quite content to trust
President Taft's judgment as to the
best and most desirable make"

There is a deeply fixed idea in the

the world is the fruit of an all enfold-

With all due respect to my illustrious

Today in the stogy factories of Pitts
burg there are 2.211 women and only
463 men. And in three particularly
large trust factories, In which tbe
last word in cheap, quick production

nearly perfected type of the team-and-
machine process. which is taking place.
and which makes Of his single. COM

The girl who begins the process is
not a stogymaker at all. She is only

her machine she gives the inside filler

Then the half-dressed stogies. in
stead of being shaped deftly and
delieately by the fingers of crafts

leaf and hold it taut and fat while
die descending cuts it into exactly
the right size. The suction table (Mr.
Ruskin would have called it a vam-

from the art and craft of stogyna king.
The girl at the suction table takes the
piece Of tobacco designed for her by the
machine and rolls it around the half
finished stogy. giving it its wrapper"
and thus completing it.
Two girls and three machines have
now done what one man did before.
They haven't done it so well. But they
have done it faster and cheaper. And
there you have a little social revolu-

In the final analysis Tolstoi is al
illustrious example of the most highly
finished product OF egotism.
To be the voice of all Russia would
be more impossible than to be the lit
erary voice of these United States.
You have your hordes of andigested
peoples mingling with native strain
that Is composed of various national
ities modified by numerously different
physical environments. I have found
that when you speak of the American
in the eastern section OF the country
you no more mean the American IN
the west or In the south than re
mean the Turkoman of our empire
when we speak Of the Right Russian
1t is impossible for any writer tc

would palpably be impossible for any
one writer to be the literary voice Of
an empire made up of Germans. Per

Jews and still others.
But there is tie dominant strain OF
the Muscovite and the writer who
makes you feel that you know this
element has taught you to understand
the Russian.
