ROBBERS DYNAMITE CAR DOOR.
Attempt to Rob Express Train in
Colorado Proves Fruitless.

A daring attempt by three bandits
to rob the second section of the Den
yer & Rio Grande No. passenger
train, was made about IL o'clock
Thursday night four miles west of
Malta. small station near Leadville,
Col. The express car was dynamited.
According to the trainmen no booty
was secured. 1t is believed the rob-
bers crawled on the two engines of the
train at Malta. The train had pro-
ceeded only short distance when two
men crawled over the tenders and
compelled the engineers 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 a charge
of dynamite was placed under the
car and the door was blown open. Two
of the robbers rushed in, covering the
express messenger with revolvers. Sew
eral charges of dynamite were placed
under the safe, but without result.
After firing a volley the robbers fed
in the darkness. A trainman in the
meantime had reached Malta and
Sheriff Campbell with posse at once
started in pursuit. II Is said the safe
contained a large sum of money.

DIE CROSSING DEATH VALLEY.
Bodies of Two Miners Found and

Bodies of Two Miners Found and
Third Man Probably Is Lost.
The bodies of Emery BODICE and Tom
Flanz, two miners who persisted of
thirst. while attempting to cross Death
Valley, we're found Saturday four
miles west of Skidoo, Cal. by members
of the searching party securing the
desert for brother of President Ed
redge of the National Sewing Ma
chine Company, who has been lost for
three weeks. The men whose bodies
were found left Rhyolite late in Au-
gust and started across Death Valley,
where the thermometer reaches $50 de-
grees in the shade during the summer
months. They carried two canteens of
water each, but this supply must have
been exhausted before they had gone
half way. Crazed by thirst they wan
dered about until they were overcome
by the heat and lay down to die.
Young Eldredge was attempting to
reach Rhyolite, New, from his mining
claims in the Panaminil range. He
left his companions three weeks ago.
Men from all the desert camps have
searched the desert. The burro which
he took with him when he started
across the valley was found few days
ago, but there was no other trace of
the man.

TAFT LAUDS BALLINGER.
Denies Charge Against Cabinet Off.
Ger in Alaskan Coal Lands Case.

President Taft upholds Richard A.
Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior, on
all points involved in the Ballinger.
Pinchot controversy in regard to the
conservation of the natural resources.
The Presidents support of his cabinet
adviser is set forth at length in let
ter written by the President to Secre-
tary Ballinger and given out by Mr..
Taft on his special train Wednesday
afternoon.
The letter contains no direct refer
ence to Clifford Pinchot, head of the
bureau of forestry. Mr.. Taft, so his
friends say, would regret much to lose
Pinchot, but he felt that the time had
come for him to take a decided stand
in the controversy. Mr.. Taft himself
denies that there has been any back
sliding from the declared policy of the
Roosevelt administration in favor of
a conservation of natural resources.
Without bringing any direct contrast,
he makes it plain that several things
done by the Roosevelt administration
along the lines of the conservation
were without authority of law, but
that the present administration in
tends to keep absolutely within the
statutes.
That has been Secretary Ballinger's
answer all along to the contentious of
Pinchot and his friends that he Is out
of sympathy with the Roosevelt policy
and in favor of corporate and individ-
ual control. The President sets this
standard for the conservation policy
Of the future: I'm my judgment he is
the best friend of the policy of conser-
walton of natural resources who in
sists that every step taken In that d.
rection should be within the law, and
buttressed by legal authority. Insist
ence on this Is not inconsistent with a
whole hearted and bona fide interest,
and enthusiasm in favor of the conser-
walton policy"
The President orders Secretary Bal
linger to dismiss L. R. CLAWS of the
field division of the general land Office
from Office. 1t was CLAWS who made
the formal charge against Ballinger.
and the President orders his dismissal
on the ground that he has been disloy-
al to his superior officer without any
substantial evidence to sustain his con-
duct. CLAWS visited Beverly in Au-
gust and went over his charges against
Ballinger.

CHICAGO.

Dun's weekly, review of Chicago
trade says: Trade activities blended
well with the elaborate functions at
tending this weeks entertainment of
President Taft and the numerous rep
resentatives of the banking interests
and grain merchants of the country
assembled in annual conventions.
Seasonable weather provided
stimulus to operations in production
and distribution. and transportation
returns indicate that the Chicago
steam roads steadily gain in gross
earnings. Important contracts for
large vessels on the lakes were closed,
and strengthen the shipbuilding in
dustry.
Farm advices testify to improvement
in core growth from the rainfall and
favorable temperatures. Marketings
of grain exhibit large increases over
both last week and a year ago. those
of corn being exceptionally heavy, and
there is also sustained rise in ship
ments.
Similar Improvement appears in
flour. and that commodity RECEIVERS
slightly from the recent fall in prices
A moderate increase is noted in pack
ing, although this does not affect quo
tations for live stock and provisions,
these again showing further advance
in average cost.
Freight offerings of the large pro-
ducers run above the tonnages recently
reported, and traffic managers give
closer attention to immediate equip
ment needs. The effort to provide nee
essary facilities leads to numerous
commitments for rails, cars and mo-
tive power. Pig iron outputs exceed
those during last month, with prices
much firmer and inquiries increasing
for next year deliveries. Steel mills
in this district employ additional
hands and capacity is now pressed to
the limit.
Increasing demands cause more
drawing upon forge and foundry work,
and the electric, heavy hardware, ma
chinery and implement factories report
satisfactory gain in forward bookings.
The absorption is undated OF build
ing material and planning mill outputs.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict number Is, against q last week.
"a in 1908 and IL in 1907. Those with
liabilities over $4,000 number z,

TAFT'S LONG SWING
AMONG THE PEOPLE
President Starts from Boston on
His I3,ooo-Mile Tour of the
United States.
STRENGTH IS GAINED BY REST
With Central Bank as His Theme,
Executive Considers Plan of
Financial Changes.

On his ffty-second birthday Presi-
dent Taft entered on the first stage of
HE 13,000-mile tour of the United
States. His train formed the second
section of the regular express from
Boston to Albany on the Boston and
Albany division of the New York Gen.
trail Railroad. The first speech of the
Presidents series of addresses to the
people was made in Boston; the last
is to be made at Richmond, Va, Nov.
10. The next day the President will
be back at his work in Washington.
When the President left Chicago he
passed over what Eastern people call
the political borderland. Then his
real work of enlisting strength for his
policies as he outlines them seemed to
begin.
In addressing 5000 persons at a
banquet in Boston, on the eve of his
trip across the continent, President
Taft prophesied a great increase in
the commerce of the country. Leav-
ing the discussion of the tariff. of rail-
road control, and of the curbing of
corporations to be explained in detail
in later addresses. Mr.. Taft spoke
more fully of the changes needed in
the monetary system of the country.
The plan to establish central bank
as a safeguard against such financial
panics as that of 1907 was one of the
financial subjects considered by the
President There are two dangers
which must be avoided in this plan,
he said, both of which had been ex-
planned to the President by Senator
Aldrich. Control of this institution,
giving great power over the financial
welfare of the nation, must be kept
out of the hands of Wall street inter
