increase in trading defaults is noted,

his passports to the Bolivian minister
at Buenos Aires, ordering him to leave
Buenos Aires within twenty-four
hours. The government also has tele-
raphed Senior Fonseca, Argentine min

of Argentina in the matter of the
boundary dispute between Bolivia and
Peru. The Bolivian minister advised
the Argentine government that Bo-

jured as a result of the wreck of Wa
bash passenger train No. 4, bound for
st. Louis, near Orrick, Mo-, thirty
miles east of Kansas City. 4 number

ERIE TRAIN IS HELD UP.
Wild West Tactics Used Successfully
.Yust Outside of Gotham.

Reports OF a hold-up of passengers
on an Erie Railroad train in which
western-bouIld immigrants were the
victims, reached New York Friday
night The reports came from Middle
town, N. Y, and said that the hold-up
occurred Just after the train had left
the Bergen tunnel In New Jersey. The
train is known as the Western Ex-
press and leaves Jersey City at 1910
a. m.
The varying reports of the affair say
that either one or two men stepped
into the first of two day coaches bound
west and, holding the passengers at
bay with revolvers, stripped them of
money and valuables. Before the train
crew discovered that there had been a
robbery, it is said, the train was al
most at Middletown, N Y, the first
stop after leaving Jersey City. The
robber or robbers in the meantime
had made good their escape.
While the robbers were at work
there was wild scene in the car The
men, women and children, just landed
in a strange country and unable to
make themselves understood, became
panic-stricken when the robbers cover
ed them with revolvers and compelled
them to turn over their property.
Many of the women tainted, while the
children added their cries to the up.

Mysterious Land Near Gambler

According to Captain QuatrevauX OF
the French ship Theirs, which has ar
rived at San Francisco from Newcas-
tie, Australia, a new island has sprung
up from the waters of the Pacific near
the Gambler group. Captain Quatra-
vaux says there is something uncanny
about the new islet, for when his ship
approached it, although no wind was
blowing, mysterious swell drew the
vessel toward the shore and it was
with the utmost difficulty that she was
saved from going on the rocks. The
island is located in latitude 24.25 de-
grees south, longitude 1880 degrees
west, and seems to be composed of vol
canic rock.

LAKES WORLDS RECOR.D.
Crville Wright Remains in Air One
Hour and Twelve Minutes.

Hour and Twelve Minutes
The worlds aeroplane record for
two men, as to both time and distance,
was broken Tuesday evening in beau
tiful fight at Washington, d. c., of
1:12:40-upwards CT fifty miles and
at a speed averaging about forty
miles an hourly Orville Wright at
Fort Myer, with Lieut.. Frank p Lahm
of the army signal corps as passenger.
The former record was made last
year by the ayiators brother, Wilbur
joint inventor with him of the ma
chine in which both achievements
were performed at LIE Mans, France,
with Prof. Painleve of the French in
stitute as passenger. The flight was
1:09:31. Wilbur was an eager spec
tator of Tuesdays flight by his
brother.
You just scotched your brothers
record without really damaging 1t
much" remarked newspaper man to
Orville after the flight That's all
we meant to do" replied Orville with
a smile, which his big brother appre-
ciatively duplicated.
The cheering which heralded the
setting of a new mark in the conquest
of the air was led by President Taft
in person, who had sat an intensely
interested spectator throughout the
flight, and who insisted at its conclu-
sion upon personally congratulating
the brothers upon their success.
This success was all important to
the Wrights in that it completed the
first of two crucial tests of their ma
chine imposed upon them by the Unit
ed States government-the so-called
endurance test"-which required
them to remain one hour continuously
in the air with one passenger. Orville
did nearly thirteen minutes better
than that, and could have kept on in
definitely three hours and half, the
limit imposed by the gasoline capacity
of the supply tank.
