BANDITS "SHooT UP" TOWN
Rob Mount Pleasant (Mich.) Post
Office of $4,000 In Cash and
Stamps and Escape.

Saginaw, Mich.-Bandits, masked
and mounted, Thursday blew the post
Office safe at Mount Pleasant, city
of 5000, securing $4,000 in stamps and
money and terrorizing the entire town.
The robbers, numbering seven or
eight, are believed to have halted near
the south limits until their plans were
complete, when they rode through the
main street in old-time border fash
ion, shooting and shouting. Secret
service men took up the trail and it Is
believed that arrests are imminent.
The post office often contains as high
as $4,000 in cash and stamps.
The police believe the post office
safe had been blown and rifled before
the robbers began shooting and that
they would have made their escape
less spectacularly had it not been for
the noise made by the explosion of
nitroglycerin. This caused several
men to start an investigation and as
soon as they appeared the reign of
terror began.
The fusillade of shots fired by the
men as they endeavored to cover their
escape so confused those in authority
that it was subsequently impossible
to discover whether the bandits had
turned their horses loose outside the
town and escaped on the train that
passed half an hour after the explo-
sion, or whether they rode away on
their own mounts.

PRESIDENT TAFT
WRITES LETTER
SETS FORTH HIS REASONS FOR
ExoNERATING SECRETARY
BALLlNGER.
CLAWS DISMISSAL EXPLAINED
Obvious Reason for lnditing Letter
Is to Make Complete Answer to In
situations and Charges Which Have
Recently Been Made.

Washington.-For the first time
since the Ballinger-Pinchot investiga-
ton was begun by a joint committee
of the senate and house, President
Taft has taken an active part in the
matter.
This he did by making public a let
ter which he has addressed to Senator
Knute Nelson, chairman of the investi-
eating committee, setting forth at
some length the circumstances sur
rounding the writing of the letter
which he sent to Secretary Ballinger
on September IS, in which he exon
Grated him of the charges made
against him and directed the dismissal
of Louis R. CLAWS from the public
service.
Although the president does not so
state in his letter, it is obvious that
his reason for inditing the communi
cation at this time is to make full and
complete answer to the insinuations
and charges which have been made
during the past two days that he act
ed solely upon the recommendations
submitted to him in the form of let
ter by Assistant Atty. Gen. for the In
terror Department Oscar Lawler.

LINK IS ARRESTED
LEGISLATOR DEFIEs GRAND JURY
IN SENATORIAL BRIBERY
INQUIRY.
REFUSES TO GIVE TESTIMONY
Will Be Punished for contempt-TriaI
of Representative Browne, Charged
With Giving Bribes, Begins at CHI
oago Next Monday.

Springfield, nl.-Representative MI
chael S. Link, who was brought here
Friday from his home at Mitchell by
Sheriff Werner, was arrested on a
charge of criminal contempt of court
by order of Judge Shirley upon his
refusal to testify before the Sanga-
mon county grand jury after an order
of immunity had been entered in the
local courts.
Efe was released on $500 bonds to
appear in court on Monday morning,
when he is to be sentenced for his
contempt.
When Link was taken before the
grand jury he refused to answer any
questions, on the ground that he
might incriminate himself. AS soon
as he made this statement he was
taken out of the jury room into Judge
Shirley's court.
States Attorney Burke at once pre-
sented a petition granting him immu-
nifty in Sangamon county releasing
him from all liability to be prosecuted
or punished on account of any matter
to which he might be required to
testify. AS soon as this order was
presented, Judge Shirley signed it and
Link was once more taken back into
the grand jury room.
The question: did any person or
persons in Sangamon county, Illinois,
offer or promise you any money or
other valuable thing in consideration
of your vote in the Forty-sixth gen.
eral assembly of this state for a
United States senator?" was asked.
Again Link refused to answer and
an order of the foreman Of the grand
Jury he was taken in custody by the
sheriff and again brought into court
charged with criminal contempt.
Judge Shirley asked Link why he
had refused to answer, upon which
Link rose to his feet and said: Your
honor, l refuse to answer on the
ground that l might incriminate my
self" Link was allowed to enter his
own bail for appearance on Monday.
Representative George w. Welborn
of Woodlawn, Jefferson county, was
the principal witness before the San
canon county grand jury. Welborn
is Republican.
Chicago.-State's Attorney Wayman
announced Friday that Lee O'Neil
Browne, Democratic leader of the
house of representatives, who is
charged with bribery of legislators,
will be placed on trial in the criminal
court next Monday, if the defense is
prepared.
Browne is alleged to have distributed
the money said to have been paid to
certain representatives to vote for
Lorimer. Representatives White,
Beckemeyer and Link, who are de-
clared by the state'0 attorney to have
confessed to receiving bribes, will be
witnesses at the trial.

WILL SCRUTINIZE COMET.
Government Observer Preparing to
Make Elaborate Telescope
Observations.

hington.-Halley's comet will be
greeted Wednesday on it's closest ap-
proach to the earth by bristling bat
terry of telescopes, tlanked by rapid
fire lenses in the celestial cameras Of
the Naval observatory, the only ma
tional observatory in the United
States. The government observer pre-
pared for the great star rushing
through space, and elaborate cah'u-
lations have been made as to the MIN
ute and second the flying comet will
be at given places in the heavens
where it will be observed and photo.
graphed.
Among the scientists there is some
difference of opinion as to the effect
the great star will have upon the
earth, but the differences are minor.
Prof. Asaph Hall, of the Naval observ-
atory, would not be surprised if there
were a shower Of meteorites.
Edwin F. Naulty, of New York, who
has been at the observatory making
telescope and spectroscopic observa-
tiOnS, takes issue with Prof. Hall, and
contends that the tail Of the comet
is composed neither of gas nor me-
teoric bodies, and that such a shower
as Prof Hall deems possible could not
follow.

DRIVING WITH ROCKEFELLER
Pleasant Recreation Provided for Peo-
Pile of Tarrytown by Their Famous
Fellow Townsman.

Tarrytown, N Y, May TO take
drive with John D. Rockefeller has
become a regular recreation this
spring for great many of the friends
and neighbors Of that famous resident
of Tarrytown, and he has increased
thereby his popularity among the peo-
pie of the little city. Not a pleasant
day goes by without the oil king in
viting some of them, men, women and
children, to ride with him in automo-
bile or carriage, and it is safe to say
that the invitations are seldom de.
clined, for his vehicles are the best
to be had, and the drives around Tarry-
town are beautiful.
Mr.. Rockefeller, before starting for
ride, always dons a paper vest, de.
claring it to be great protection
against colds, and he insists that his
guests do the same. After the ride he
refuses to take back the garment, and
consequently in nearly every home in
Tarrytown may be found a paper vest
preserved as a souvenir of delightful
ride with the ulti-millionaire.

for the company, secured a temporary
injunction from the supreme court of

court afterward made the injunction
permanent and the District of Colum-
bia court OF appeals later sentenced
Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and
John Mitchell to 10, 8 and months
respectively, in Jail for contempt Of
court for talking and publishing
articles in the American Federationist
about the injunction. The labor lead
ers' appeal is now pending in the fed

Act of Militant Suffragette That Was
Too Arbitrary to Be Upheld
by the Court.

being married to suffragette were
revealed the other day in a London

Tunnicliffe took up the cause and was
not able to spend much time at home.
When the husband demonstrated she
simply commanded her daughter to
pack her fathers gripsack and there
and then ordered him out Of the house.
He went and then the lady sued him
for desertion and demanded alimony.
But surely you did not take it so
feebly?" asked the magistrate of the
husband.
1T was no use objecting," was the
answer, "She wanted to be master and
said that if 1 annoyed her she would
lock me up. was only too anxious to
go back home, but she would not let
me-"
The case was dismissed.

FEAR AN INDIAN MASSACRE
Troops Are Dispatched to Taos Pueblo,
N. M, to Queil Outbreak
Among Redskins.

East Las Vegas, N. M.-Gen. E. A.
Brook ordered Company H of the New
Mexico guard at Santa Fe to the
scene of the serious Indian outbreak
at the ancient Taos Pueblo, seventy
miles northwest of here. The troops
were dispatched Friday after an ap-
peal had been made to Governor Mills
by Judge John r. McFie, who de-
clared that a massacre was imminent.
The prosecution of several Indians
for infractions Of the law is said to
have caused the outbreak. Telephone
and telegraph wires have been cut
by the renegades.
The Indians raided several home
steads north of Taos, cut fences, drove
off cattle and assaulted the wife and
children of a homesteader named L.
S. Meyers.

STEAMER SINKS; 10 DROWNED

Boat Carrying Fifty-seVen Persons
Goes Down Within Reach
of Land.

St. Louis.-By the sinking Of the
steamship City of Saltillo In the Mis-
sissippi river at Glen Park. Mo-,
Wednesday night when the boat was
hurled against a hidden rock by the
swift current, 13 persons, seven Of
whom were passengers, lost their
lives. Glen Park is "a miles south Of
st. Louis.
The boat carried 27 passengers,
most of whom were women and chill
dren, and crew of go She left st.
Louis at seven o'clock, with a heavy
cargo, including a number of cattle
and live stock, and the voyage was
considered precarious because Of the
amount of driftwood floating in the
river, due to the annual spring rise.
Shortly before reaching Glen Park
the Saltillo encountered a shoreward
draw, which was fought frantically by
the pilots. The engines were reversed.
but the efforts to prevent the col
lision were unavailing.
With the noise of rending timbers
and the shrieks of the women and
children passengers, the cries of the
crew, and the believing of the cattle,
the vessel struck a hidden rock and
sunk in reach of land, at a point
where the water was 20 feet deep.
Passengers and members of the
crew clung to the timbers, while those
more fortunate lent their aid immedi-
ately to the rescue of the helpless.
The majority of the passengers were
in their cabins. The collision came so
suddenly they were plunged into the
water before they knew what had
happened.

BALLINGER GRILL is Renewed

Piles Name Is Mentioned.

Misunderstanding Ballinger
continued under cross-examination by
Attorney Brandeis, counsel of l.. R.

Tuesday.

that the attorneys will finish their
examination of the secretary of the

Commissioner bennett Of the gen.
eral land Office and Chief Schwartz
Of the field division will be the next
witnesses for the defense.
A spirited controversy among men,
bers of the committee was precipi-
tated by Mr.. Brandeis when he asked
Secretary Ballinger if he had not
heard it stated publicly by Samuel H.
Piles that Charles Sweeney, one Of
the Cunningham claimants and presi-
dent of the Federal Smelling COM
pany, a subsidiary company of the
Guggenheim syndicate, had been in
strumental in his (PilesO election as

Shows Value of Steel Car

That the steel car is of great value
as protection to passengers in the
event of collision was demonstrated
in recent clash of two trains in
the Hudson tunnel, New York city.
There was no such telescoping as
would probably have occurred with
wooden cars, and the injuries were
merely such as resulted from the pas
sengers' being thrown down by the
shock of the collision.

SENATE VOTES ON RATE BILL
Long and Short Haul Provision Of
Railroad Measure Is Adopted
by Senate.

Washington.-By vote of 81 to 10
the senate Friday adopted modified
form of the Dixon long and short haul
amendment to the railroad bill.
The amendment represents the COM
bined efforts of Republican, Demo
cratic and Insurgent leaders, and it is
significant that Senator Aldrich de-
Tended it on the floor and cast his
vote in its favor. The consensus of
opinion is that the amendment is con-
Trajectory in its terms and defeats its
own purpose, or, if this is not so. that
it burdens the interstate commerce
commission with an impossible task.
