POSSE ON TRAIL
OF LONE ROBBER

Ell Paso, Tex, June 13.-Since early
today posses have been searching the
desert between Carrizzozo and the
mountains in search of the lone ban
dit who held up an Ell Paso & South
western passenger train last night at
Robsart, N. M, near Cacrizozo.
That the man is IN old hand at the
game, and probably a desperate. who
will put up a hard battle before allow
ing himself to be taken, is believed
from the n in which he carried
off h daring holdup. Members of the
posses are prepared to shoot on sight.
Last nights holdup was one OF the
most daring in the history Of train
robberies. The bandit, after covering
the Pullman conductor and the praKe-
man with his gun, and compelling them
to stop the train, drove the occupants
of the tourist sleeper into q private
car at the rear Of the rrain, where he
forced them to turn over their money
and ~valuables. Upon taking his depar-
ture he fired a volley, shooting out the
rear lights Of the train. His plumber,
1t is roughly estimated, will run into
several thousand dollars.
Two hundred and seventeen dollars
in cash. a diamond ring and several
other trinkets were all that rewarded
he robber. The railroad today refund
ed to the robbed passengers all the
money taken from them and at the
same time offered a reward Of 81. 500
for the capture of the robber.

Federal Judge Says Violation
of Obsolete Law Causes No
Bar to Foreigner.

milwaukee,, Wis, June 13.-"Any
legislature hat establishes police reg
ulations in defiance of public sentiment
must suffer the humiliation of seeing
its mandate disregarded,' said United
States Judge j. v. Quarles in setting
forth the grounds for his ruling thai
keeping a saloon open on Sunday did
not vitiate a mans application for CIT
izenship.
Judge Quarles pointed out that al
though the Sunday closing act was
passed 40 years ago, no effort has been
made to enforce 1t.
The Law required, the court held, that
the applicant measure up to the level
of the average citizen In his commu-
nifty, and did not demand that he rise
above the level of the common mass of
the people.

REPORT ON BUSINESS
Cool Weather Is Declared to Be
a Factor in Making Trade
Dull.
York, June 14.-Bradstreet's Sat,

New York, June 14.-Bradstreet's Sat.
urday said:
p unseasonably cool weather still ar
-asts retail trade and retards crop pro-
erpss in the northern half of the coun-
frv. Trade is quiet in the southern
districts, though cotton and fruit crops
are making progress. Jobbing trade
reports defect quiet in consumptive de-
-nan nd and a moderate volume of reor-
Sers which are classed as frequent, but
small in the aggregate. Trade as a
whole still hesitates pending a clearer
view of crop and price outcome. Indus
Erial reports point to considerable cur
tailment of output proceeding from un-
certainty as to the future. Collections
range from slow to fair. The tempo
rary settlement of the railway rate
yances in his item of cost of business
operations have given a brighter tinge
to feeling in some basic industries. The
weeks price movement is toward
slightly higher range, affecting largely
crop uncertainty as regards the cereals
and bullish operations in the remain
ing old crop cotton month, but the
monthly returns of price movements
point to a continuance of the readiust-
ment of commodity values on a lower
level, where high cost will, no as in
the past, automatically check consump-
ton.
Future trade in cotton is backward
with operations cautious. In wooden
goods trade is also backward, and there
is some idle machinery. Sole leather
Is steadily bought on local and export
account. Upper leather is quiet and
tanners are reported curtailing opera
tions. Bad weather restricts trade in
shoes. Pig iron Is more active, but
prices are weaker
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending June 9 were 1879,
against 100 last week, 1877 in the same
week of 1909, 253 in 1908, ISL in 1907 and
ITO in 1906.
R. G. Dun & Cos weekly review of
trade today says:
With a compromise effected on the
question of railroad rates, which.
though depending in part on the action
of congress OF the railroad bill. In re-
garded as satisfactory and with crop
prospects for both wheat and cotton
decidedly good, the business outlook
shows much improvement over last
week. The improvement is largely SEN
timental, but increased confidence al
most invariably leads to increased
trade. Stocks Of pig iron continue to
accumulate, yet curtailment of pro-
duction was on a much less extensive
scale during May than in the preceding
month. New business comes forward
in slightly larger volume and princi-
pally in the west, and a better feeling
exists as the result of the compromise
regarding freight rates. Talked of AN
collation. Of equipment orders have not
materialized and the railroads contin-
ue to place some important contracts in
certain lines.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 13.-Governor

very sick, but is at his Office and made
the following strange statement:
II had never seen Lookout mountain"

cided to stop off and climb the noun

I go to a high place I am seized with
an insane desire to jump off. I do
not want to kill myself, far be it from
me to do that, but I simply can't avoid
that feeling.
up on Lookout mountain there are
rock Lodges and one could walk Off one
OF those lodges and drop hundreds OF
feet. Say, I wanted to go out on q
ledge and jump off, ami this feeling
was so pronounced that I kept away
from the lodges. Others went out upon
them, but | did not. If 1 had gone out
on one. I know I should have jumped
off"
The governor looked out of his win
dow and pointed to the traction termi-
nal building. Say, I wouldn't go on
the roof of that building for anybody's
money" he remarked.

NEW COUNTERFEIT BILL
FOUND IN CIRCULATION

Trenton, Oct. 10:-Seeret service
operators are trying to find the men
who have been circulating a new
counterfeit 81 bill In Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. A number of the
notes have been passed in Newark.
Philadelphia and at the Interstate
fair here.
Matthew S. Griffin, chief of the
local secret service bureau at Phila-
delphia, says that the new notes are
SO hard to detect from the genuine
that only experts a tell the differ
ence. The series of the bogus notes
is 1899. Ths serial number is
R-59,121,992.
They are about three-sixteenths of
an inch shorter than the ones from
which they have been copied. They
are not quite SO smooth as the notes
issued by the government. Accord
ing to Griffin, the counterfeit bills
We're made from a photograph of the
original notes. Etchings were made
of both sides of the bill, and the two
etchings pasted deftly together on a
third piece of paper.
The secret service operatives, ad-
vices from Washington say, also
found counterfeit bills issued on the
First National bank at Williamsport,
Pa.
The government is convinced that
all the bills are being made by the
same gang, and has rushed orders by
telegraph to every secret service MAI
in the country to spread the drag
nets.
The Williamsport counterfeit is OF
a higher degree of perfection than
those on the Pasadena bank, which
were pronounced by the secret ser
vice men to be the best they had seer
in recent years.
National bank notes in every city
| will be examined Immediately by sec
ret service men, to determine how
extensive the issue has been.
The notes, both good and bad
bear the signature Of j. A. Reeber,
president, brother of former Judge
DINNER Reeber, of philadelphia, and
D. Al. Sloatman, cashier, the bad
ones, of course, being forged.
