BANKER SHOT DEAD
CASHIER OF NEW ALBANY BANK
SLAIN AND PRESIDENT
WOUNDED.
BANDIT USES STOLEN AUTO
Police in Motor Boat Pursue Youth
Who Tried to Hold Up Bank and
Capture Him After an Exciting
Chase.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 12.-With a re.
voiver in each hand, young man, who
has been partially identified as Thorn
as j. Hall, son OF a Louisville furni-
ture dealer, entered the Merchants
National bank at New Albany, Ind,
shortly before noon and, after killing
j. Hungary Fawcett, the cashier, with
his first shot, turned his weapon on
John X. Woodward, the president OF
The institution, and shot him, probably
fatally.
joan Il. Tucker, negro chauffeur of
an automobile in which the bandit
tried to make his escape, was also
wounded and may die.
Would Lynch Robber.
After an exciting chase down the
Ohio river by motor boat full of po-
lice, the bandit was captured. The
prisoner was saved from mob which
had gathered to lynch him, only by a
ruse.
AS the bandit entered the door of
the bank he ordered everyone to hold
up his hands. An instant later he be-
gan nflnB with DoIn guns.
Fawcett was shot through the chest
and neck and died almost instantly.
President Woodward was shot through
the liver and intestines. Tucker, the
chauffeur, who lives in Louisville, was
shot through the body.
Shoots Frightened Chauffeur.
Following the shooting the murderer
rushed from the bank and tried to
make his escape In an automobile,
which he had taken from the curb in
front of the residence of its owner,
Mrs. Walter Escott. in Louisville,
forcing Tucker at the point of a gun
to drive him to New Albany. But the
chauffeur, paralyzed with terror and
apparently incapable of action, sat
still.
The robber jumped from the car
and sent a bullet through the negro's
body Turning down the river bank,
ii distance perhaps of two blocks, the
youth ran with the speed OF a deer.
He quickly appropriated a skiff at the
dock and was on his way to the Ken
lucky side before the frightened citi-
zens of New Albany knew what had
transpired.
An alarm was given through mega
phone on a dredge-boat and in a short
time the police of the little city had
started in pursuit in a fast motor
boat, capturing their man, and had
brought him to shore, only to confront
the new peril of lynching.
BY clever ruse, however, Capt
Adams of the police stood OF the
crowd of 200 which crowded around
the dock as the police boat landed
Commanding the prisoner to lie down
the captain announced to the crowd
that the man had taken poison and
was dead meanwhile carrying him to
the patrol wagon and giving the word
to drive ahead. The bandit was taken
to the New Albany Jail, A few mo.
ments later he was removed to the
Southern Indiana reformatory at JET
fersonville to escape the mob, which
would not be quieted and which had
assembled around the jail.

SEARCH AND SEIZURE LAW

The antisaloon people are making
hard fighr against the liquor dealers of
the state and are very eager 20 have
the present legislature pass their
''Search and Seizure" law. In speak
ing OF the law, f. +. Mclaughlin said
few days ago:
The anti-saloon league Of Colorado
is back of search and seizure law in.
troduced by Senator Mark Skinner Of
Ell Pa county. The benefit Of such a
measure can readily be seen when it is
understood that more than one half Of
the agricultural districts Of the state
are under the provisions of the present
local option law
"The stock argument used by the liq
nor dealers against local option is that
intoxicants will be sold, and even if the
saloons are voted out of territory,
speak-easies will flourish and the law
will be made deadletter. In fact.
they say, violations will be winked at
and encouraged, that the law may be
brought into disrepute.
"These violators. and that there are
such IS certain, defy the law. Their
only object is to make money, and to
do so they are willing to take all kinds
OF chances. To ferret out these law
breakers, citizens are compelled to turn
informers, or be put to the expense of
hiring detectives to procure evidence
upon which to base prosecution
"rhij search and seizure bill intro.
duced by Senator Skinner is simply one
to make it easier for officials to do
theig duty. 1t does not relate to pri.
vate consumption or lawful sale of
liquor. 1t is unjust to good citizens,
taxpayers, officers and all concerned
for the obedience to law, to put So
heavy "A burden of roundabout methods
in getting at law breakers.
"When it is a matter of notoriety
in dry town, or a dry precinct or
ward, that liquor is illegally and clan
destinely being sold contrary to the in
tent of the law common sense an Justice
alike dictate that the shortest metho l
of breaking up the business should be
taken-the method that will quickest
set in operation the machinery of just
ice and most surely bring the offender
to count.
1t is not the question of invasion Of
some mans property who is doing a
lawful business. By the very terms and
conditions usder which tho lawwou1d
work, it is against law breakers only
We judge there ought to be no hesi
tation in granting the relief sought, as
has been done by the Legislators of y
number of states.

protect themselves. A search and seiz-
ure law will go long way towardhelp

The national conservation commits.
sion, aPpointed in May, 1908, 70 make
an inventory of the natural resources
Of the United tSates and recommend
measures for their conservation, has
made its report to President Roosevelt.
In transmising the report to congress
TOE President sent a special message
eomncnding the work Of the commits
sion, aud declaring that its subject was
OF the utmost Importance to this gener-
4l.ion, and to posterity.
In its repotr to the President, the
commission tells of the terrible waste
of the resources of this country, and
says '.his waste is too great, and some
steps must be taken to conserve what
we have, and to lay the foundation for
increasing our timber and other re-
sources.
The soul source of our fresh water
is rainfall, including snow. From this
source all running, standing and ground
waters are derived. The habt.ability
of the country depends on these waters.
Our mean annual rainfall is about thirty
inches, the quantity about 2l5,00O,OOO,-
100000 cubic feet per year, equivalent
to ten Mississippi rivers.
OF the total rainfall over half is evap-
GRATED, about third flows into the sea
and the remaining sixth is either con
suined or absorbed. These portions are
sometimes called respectively the fly
off, the ,run.off and the cutoff. They
are partly interchangeable. About a
third of the run.off, or tenth of the
entire rainfall, passes through the Miss
issippi.
The run-off is increasing with defor-
@ tation and cultivation.
For irrigation it is estimated that
there are $2OO, ,OOO, 900 invested in dams,
bitches, reservoirs and other works for
that 100000, 100000 cubic feet are an
nually diverted to irrigable lands, rg-
gregating some 10000 square miles. Ex-
cept in some eases through forestry few
catchmem. areas are controlled, and few
reservoirs are large enough to hold the
storm waters. The waste in the pubic
and private projects exceeds go per
cent. while no more than % per cent. of
the water actually available for irriga-
lion of the arid lands is restrained and
diverted.
Loss to Farm Products
The losses to farm products due to
, injurious mammals is estimated a. $l3O-
900 900 annually, the loss through plan.
diseases reaches several hundred million
dollars, and the loss through insects is
reckoned at $685., 900, 900. The damage
done by by birds is balanced by their
bencficent work in destroying noxious
insects. Losses due to the elements are
large, but NO estimate has been madr
of them. Losses to live stock froul

feeding through winter. The annual
losses from disease among domestic an
innls are: ....-.
!, Horses, l.s per cent; cattle, 2 per
cent; sheep, 90 per cent; and swine,
81 per cent. Most Of these farm losses
are preventable. mol, ,is..
Land Policy
Good busintss sense demands that. a
good land policy be formulated. The
national conservation commission be
lieves that the following will serve as Il
basis therefor:
