Ogden, June 28.-Three masked
bandits held up and robbed the Sec
ond section of the Oregon Shore Line
train No. 1, northbound, which left
Ogden at 1870 a. M, while the train
was still in the northern part of the
city, All the passengers were relieved
of their valuables and the express
messenger was obliged to deliver the
contents of his safe. The exact
amount the robbers obtained has not
been made known. L"
Two passengers and two trainmen
were injured.
The robbers drove to Second street
in buggy. They stopped the train
at this point by placing railroad tor
pedoes on the track. When tho en-
gineer brought the train to a stop,
the head brakeman went forward to
ascertain the cause of the delay, and
was struck with a revolver by. one
of the robbers. He was then taken,
at the point of gun, to the express
car and compelled to call to the mes
senger to open the door. As soon as
! the door was opened one of the ban.
dts crawled in and commanded the
messenger to open the safe. ,,o1 ab

After rifing the safe the robbers
turned their attention to the coaches.
AS they started for the coaches, rear
brakeman Franklin was met as he
was on his way forward: The bandits
commanded him to- halt but he dis.
regarded the order and two shots
were fired at him. He then stopped
and one of the bandits knocked him
down. Franklin rolled into q ditch
where he feigned Inconsistencies.

Supreme Court in opinoin Holds That
Order is Charitable institution
to Sufficient
Extent.
WAS oTTUMwA CASE
State Treasurer Attempted to Collect
Collateral Inheritance Tax
From Lodge on
$4,000.

The supreme court yesterday
handed down an opinion holding that
the Masonic lodge is charitable insti-
tuition to a sufficient degree to ex-
empt it from the collateral inheritance
tax, but not taxation
The ruling is of vast importance to
the Masonic order and other fraternal
organizations founded upon similar
principles.
The case at bar is that brought by
State Treasurer Morrow against OF
tumwa lodge, No. 16, of the order, to
which James E. Wilson had be-
queathed real estate to the value of
$4,000.
The. state treasurer had sought to
collect the 5 per cent collateral in
heritance tax, on the theory that the
Masonic order, while 1t was charit-
able institution to certain axtcIt,
was not what the law meant by a
charitable organization. He contend
ed that an institution is not charitable
within the meaning of the law unless
the purpose of its existence is purely,
or solely, or primarily, charitable. He
held that if it had other important
purposes or functions. and especially
if such other functions are predomi-
nant, then it cannot claim exemption
The supreme court held, however
| that the collateral inheritance tax law
was so worded that the Masonic hige
by reason of the fact that it does de
vote considerable to clarity, comes
within the boundaries, and is there
fore entitled to exemption.
In so holding the supreme court at
firmed Judge Anderson, of the distric1
court of Wapello county, who had helt
| that Treasurer Morrow could not col
/ lect the tax and had dismissed The
action. Treasurer Morrow appealed
from this decision of Judge Anderson

which looked to bystanders as

The Tenth street and Sixth street
reels had answered a call from Ninth
and Blondeau streets which turned
out to be a false alarm, the central
girl giving the wrong number, or her
informant A second alarm was turn

and as is customary, the west end reel
answered. Dillon drove his team up
Main street and was turning down
that an accident might not occur
from the. wheels which kept skidding
back and forth across the icy surface
of the road When the reel neared
the alley between Main and Johnson

SHOES WILL NOT
ADVANCE IN COST
Under the System Indicated in this
Article as You Will
Read.

The constantly increasing cost of |
everything that the people eat and
wear is making life serious problem
to the average wage Garner. Through
out the country the papers are contin
ually publishing reports of the ap-
pointment of committees by congress,
and many state legislative bodies, to
investigate why this condition exists,
its cause, and what steps are nee
essary to relieve the people of the
terrible oppression. Recently there
has appeared in many of our papers
and magazines articles conveying the
that all shoe manufacture
ers were compelled to again advance
the cost of their product from 5 to 10
per cent on account of the enormous
increase in the cost of leather. This
increase in cost to the retailer means
an increased cost ito the consumer.
The man or woman who has been in
the habit of paying $3.50 for a pair of
shoes must now pay $500 for shoes
of the same quality Or be contented
with an inferior quality OF footwear
if unable to pay this increase. Our
representative, in seeking informa-
ton on this subject called on the
we'll known firm of Bode-Larson Shoe
Co. They reported that they had not
advanced the cost of shoes to their
customers. but on their orders for
spring delivery they were compelled
to pay the manufacturers quite a
strong advance. The question OF in
creasing the price to the customer
had been very seriously considered.
After careful study of the figures OF
their business for the past year they
determined that it was absolutely
necessary to increase the price OF
shoes unless they could in some way
reduce their selling expense in pro-
portion. The single item of carrying
charge accounts for the convenience
of customers incurred an expense for
bookkeeper, stationery, postage, col
lector and bad accounts amounting to
more than $1,000 during the past year
This one expense eliminated would
permit them to pay the advance TO
the manufacturer, give their Gus
toners shoes equal in every respect
to those sold today and the customer
would not pay an increase. In Other
words, by doing a strictly cash bust
ness they can save their customers
| from csc to SOC on every pair Of
shoes, and they have adopted this
plan Not many of our merchants
would have the backbone to make
radical change of this nature in the
conduct of their business but this
progressive firm has never hesitate6
to carry out any plan that would en-
able them to serve the people will

cost We have no doubt that every

Business Mems Association Denies
That the Water Power Excite
mcnt Has Made Property
Owners Unreasonable.
PRICE rs CONSERVATIVE
Facts and Figures Given to Show That
Main Street Property is Not
Held at $50 Per
Foot.

To, the Editor of The Gate City:
In your issue of last evening. you
have presented the property interests
of Hamilton in a false light, which we
feel sure you will correct in this af-
ternoon's issue of your excellent paper
Last ewing YOU stated that Ham
ilton real estate has scared almost
beyond belief" and as proof of that
statement you said: Foo real estate
on Main street in some instances is
priced at fifty dollars per front foot,
the highest price ever asked for Ham
ilton property"
Now, there is your published state
ment. Compare it with the facts. No
property on Main street has been
priced at fifty dollars per front foot.
The highest prices asked for improved
property on Main street is twenty-five
dollars a front foot and the improve
ments consist Of two-story servicea-
BILE house, with barn and other inn
provements
On Broadway, the business street OF
the city, however, the price of fifty dol
lars per froIt foot has been the pre-
vailing price for two years past in the
| business zone. More than two years
ago the writer paid fifty dollars foot
for Broadway property and built there
on storeroom. One of your towns
men, Mr.. George Sherwood, sold to O
Hamilton business man Broadway
property, unimproved, Tor fifty-three
dollars per front foot. This sale was
made nearly two years ago. Last
summer a Broadway property was
sold at sixty-two dollars per from
| foot. Now bear in mind, these sales
were made to Hamilton people, b!
/ Hamilton people, and the vacant prop
erty was Immediately built on and oc
cupied. None of the sales We're spec

Having clearly comprehended TIN
above, now let me emphasize the lac
of fact in the soaring-price statement

had been verified by the actual com
mencement of work, business lots o.

are not asking higher prices than eve

AS matter of fact, our real estat

town buyers are testifying to tina
statement by buying it at prevailln
prices.
