St. Louis, July 11-Cleverness on
the part Of the engineer prevented
three youthful and apparently mex
perienced bandits from robbing the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas South
western flyer No. near Larimore, st.
Louis county, about fifteen miles from
st. Louis at an early hour yesterday
morning.
Three men were arrested this Aft
ernoon as suspects and are in Jail
pending an investigation.
1t was 8 o'clock before the news
of the attempted holdup reached the
city and detectives were Immediate
ly assigned to the case.
Engineer Quinn, through a ruse,
prevented the baggage car and pas
senger coaches from belng pooted.
The bandits compelled the engineer
and fireman at the point of revoavers
to descend from the cab and 20
with them to the baggage car to as-
sist them in uncoupling it. While
tinkering about the coupling the en-
gineer and fireman in the darkness
managed to glide away from the ban
dts. The two started on q run for
the cab. The bandits soon became
aware that the crew was dashing for
the cab and opened rain of fire.
The engineer and fireman, undeter-
red, ran faster. Springing to the cab.
the engineer threw the throttle wide
open and dashed away with the train.
Five miles further on, at Spanish
Lake, Quinn rang up o. c. Hill, yard
master of the st. Louis, Keokuk and
Northwestern in st. Louis, and in a
matter of fact way told him Of the
details Of the robbery.
Several shots were fred during
the attempted holdup and the passen-
gers who filled five coaches were
thrown into panic. Conductor Walk
er, who also displayed great coolness
j nthe crisis. devoted his time to
calming the passengers.
According to railroad officials here
there were thousands of dollars in
the baggage car in addition to the
mail, which was unusually heavy for
the st. Louis-Houston run.
The three men. armed and masked,
used red lantern to halt the train.

the Bottom Of the Trouble.

Habana. July 11.-Col George Va
lera, mulatto, and six other persons,
most of them colored men, were ar
rested by the secret police today
charged with conspiracy to start an
uprising against the government. The

Bermeja, In the province of Matazas,
to which place trunk containing
arms and ammunition and dynamite
had been shipped from Habana. Let
ters and documents found on the pris-
oners, who have been brought to Ha-
bana, are believed to implicate many
other persons in the conspiracy. The
trunk was traced by the police Of

bana university. The janitor OF that
institution was arrested today and q
large quantity of dynamite was found
In his possession.
It is not quite three months since

the police officials. The agitation Of
the race question in various parts Of
the Cuban republic eliminated on
April % with the arrest of Gen. Evar-
isto Estenoz, (colored), leader Of the
independence party, ana IOur OF nlS
associates. Following the detention Of
Gen. Estenoz many arrests were made
In various parts Of the island In COM
pliance with orders from President
Gomez, who announced his determine
ton to proceed with the utmost vigor
against the elements responsible for
the agitation, which in effect was re-
garded as serious movement calcu-
lated to develop an open revolution
against the government.
Indictments were returned against
Gen. Estenoz and, twenty OF his
associates; charging them With, the
crime of tnctting, rebeilion and instt-
eating antt-Mhitss violence. Later,
however, all the negro prisoners con-
cerned in the alleged conspiracy. with

supplemental good roads law for Mis-
souri,. 1t has had bill for such a
law drafted by Logan Waller Page
director of the Office of public roads
in the United States department of
agriculture. Copies of this bill have
been sent to people throughout the
state. Whether it is presented to the
general assembly for enactment will
depend upon the favor with which it
is received.
The prime feature of this good
roads bill is state aid in supplying the
funds, but depending upon county in
itiative and county appropriation OF
one-half of the cost, in some cases
and two-thirds Of the cost in other
cases. In no instance could road
he built without the approval of the
state highway commissioner, but the
county court of a county would have
the first say and would select the
roads to be improved subject to that
approval.
What the Bill Provides.
The important features of the bill
are these:
A non-paid state highway COM
mission shall be selected-two men,
bers to be professors of civil engi-
neering. one chosen by the curators
of the state university from the uni
versity faculty, and one named by the
board Of trustees of the state agri-
cultural college from that college.
The third member shall be some one
not an engineer and shall be appoint
ed by the governor. This commits
sion shall appoint a state highway
engineer who shall have such assist
ants as he needs and be paid salary
When a county court of any coun-
ty decides that road in that county
shall be improved under the provi-
sions Of the bill the court may make
application to the state highway en-
gineer for state aid in the construc-
ton. The engineer must investigate
all such applications in the order OF
their filing.
If the engineer approves the road
is constructed. The state shall pay
all the cost so there will be no de-
lay. But the state must be REIN.
