savings accounts amounted to only one

agcment to thrift was acute.
Postal banks paying only 2 per cent
interest would not attract depositors
from reputable banks which were pay

tract the accounts of those people who
were Wavcring in the balance as tC
whether or not they should spend theil
money for the want of knowledge of q
safe place to put it.
The President dwelt at length upon
the fact that the deposits of the alier
population which now is sent to gov
eminent banks abroad would be held
in this country if there were postal
banks with the government behind
them to rcassure the timid and pan
icky depositors of foreign birth and
aitlliation.
The President pointed out the need
of the funds which would come to the
government through postal banks tc

Il o'clock last night, four miles west
Of Malta, q small station near Lead

According to the trainmen no booty

1t is believed the robbers climbed on
the two engines of the train at Malta.
The train had proceeded but a short
distance when two men crawled over
the tenders and compelled the engi-
neers and firemen to march back to the
express car.
Engineer Smith of the first engine
was told to hammer on the door and
order the express messenger to open it.
The latter refused and charge of dy-
ramitc was placed under it and the
door blown open.
Three of the robbers rushed in. COW

Several charges of dynamite were
placed under the safe but without re-

the car. After firing volley the rob-

Malta and Sheriff Campbell with a

COTTON MANUFACTURERS
Are Considering an Early Curtailmen
of Production.

Boston, Sept. 17.-Announcement was
made here today that the executive
committee of the Arkwright Club. an
organization Of cotton manufacturers,
who virtually control the cotton cloth
industry in New England, is taking
stops to ascertain the sentiment of the
individual manufacturers as to cur
tailment of production in the near flu
ture. This action is being taken in ac-
cordance with a vote adopted una.1l-
mously at recent meeting of the cluS.
1t is claimed by the members of the
Arkwright Club that the high price
of cotton and the refusal of the mar
ket for goods to respond to that price
have created a situation which requires
some such action. A special meeting
of the Arkwright Club will be held
soon to consider the result of the in
quiry.

New York-The advance in United
states Steel common to new high rec
ord is said to be due to continued OPP
era lions of the Morgan pool and is ac-
companied by emphatic assertions,
which emanate from both Morgan
sources and interests very prominent
in the Steel Corporation itself, that the
next dividend on Steel common will be
per cent and that in the first quarter
of 1910 these shares will be placed on a
per cent basis. Never since this stock
was listed has sentiment on it been SO
preponderantly bullish. But notwith-
standing this fact some of the shrewd-
est spectators continue extremely
sceptical about it and advise sale on
the theory that it has more than dis
; counted a dividend increase and. fur
thermore, because in very conservative
trade circles it is thought that the in
crease in Steel commons dividend to
8 per cent. last July was premature.
The 90 point drop in American
Ice Securities shares and the resump
ton of dividends on American Ice, the
operating concern, are in strange con
trast. Practically three years have
elapsed since the operating company
has paid a dividend. On Dec. Is, 1906
back dividends of 9 per cent. were
paid. thus making up in part the ar
rears on the per cent. cumulative is
sue which has been accruing to that
date since April, 1902.
There is but little American Ice Co
stock which has not been exchanged
for shares Of the Ice Securities Co.
The 11a per cent. dividend on the
operating company's shares 1ust de-
clared will call for the payment OF
$2l5,100, which is equal to but per
cent. on the outstanding shares OF
