cific HoId-Up,


omaha. Nov. 5 .- Mrs. Lillian
Stevenson, the young woman who was
arrested in Denver with Lawrence Il.
Golden. or Jack shelton, as he has
been known in the trial of the five
men charged with robbing the Union
Pacific mail train here May 20, testi-
fled today. Her testimony did not
seem as sensational as the public had
been led to upopse II would be.
h identified a photograph Of
herself in a fake automobile with
Golden, Grigware, Woods and Tor
censor. The picture was taken in
Denver early in the year n was
found in the effects of the prisoners.
She said the men left Denver in
February, saying they We're going to
Hot Springs, Ark. and that she re-
ceived letters from them mailed at
Hot Springs and Kansas city.
Golden returned to Denver May 30
and told her the other men were in
trouble, but did not say what the
trouble was. He destroyed two photo
graphs similar to the one she identi-
fled and the letters she had received
from himself, Woods and Torgensen.
n. d. Mosby OF Washington, a post
office inspector. told of a converse
ton he had with Golden after the
latter's arrest. He said Golden told
him he left Omaha on advice OF a
lawyer to avoid trouble, but that he
could prove an alibi as to the train
robbery.
District Attorney Goss announced
tonight hat the government would
probably introduce but three more
witnesses. The defense. it is under
stood, will try to establish an alibi for
each Of the prisoners.

On November Is, 1905. Gov. Douglas
of Massachusetts,, appeared before
President Roosevelt as chairman of a
committee representing the National
Boot and Shoe Manufacturers Associa-
ton. and delivered a speech which is
of special pertinence at this time when,
after the lower branch of Congress has
voted for free hides, an attempt is be-
ing made to influence the Senate into
retaining the Dingley duty. In that
speech, Gov. Douglas proved conclu-
sively that the duty on hides did not
increase the prices paid to cattle grow
ers-that is, it benefited the Beef Trust
only-and that prices for leather in
Canada were 1-2 to 8 cents a pound
lower than in this country, this, being
due to our duty of Is per cent. on hides.
He also stated that unless the cost of
materials were reduced, ''shoes must
soon sell at much higher prices

The. Standard Oil Co., has made a
cut of five cents a barrel in the price
Of crude petroleum We find diff
guilty in reconciling this action with the
Facts that the independent, oil men,
claiming to produce most of the crude,
have been asking for a heavy tariff
duty to protect them against impor-
tations by Standard Oil and a conse-
1uent lowering of prices, and that
Standard Oil has always disclaimed
the power of fixing the prices of crude.
It now appears that, despite tariff du-
ties, Standard Oil can cut down at
will the cost of it's raw material. If
New England manufacturers held a
similar power, they would experience
less difficulty in competing with the

With great natural resources and an
Increasing population, this country
may truly count on prosperity. But Mr..
Morgan probably referred to the fu-
ture in a large way; such being the
fact. he is not the only chronic optim-

many men believe that the country

stated that he wanted to have II talk
