ROBBERS HOLD UP
AUTOMOBILE PARTY

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Sept. 49,
Three belated automobilists hurrying
into Poughkeepsie at forty-mile an
hour pace in big touring car, were
halted on lonely spot on the new
state road near Rhinebeck yesterday
morning by two swinging lanterns.
AS their machine stopped, the Ian
terms went out and two masked men
hoped lightly to the high step of the
car. There was one of them on each
side of the automobile and each car
ried glistening revolver.
Get out here, while we search you,"
said one of the men as he swung open
the door of the car. The AUTOMOBILE
lists stepped down while the barrels
of the two revolvers covered their
every movement.
up with your hands-and no fool
ing" was the next command. Then
while one of the highwaymen stood on
the seat of the car the other went
through a score or so of pockets,
missing nothing in his deliberate
search. He took out a bandana hand
kerchief and carefully tied up his
booty, 175 cash. three watches worth
$500 and some negotiable papers, the
value of which is not stated.
AS the highwayman stepped back
to allow his victims to return to the
car, one of the trio, ]. w. Towsley, of
New York city, stopped quickly,
picked up a huge rock and sprang up
on the masked man. The second high
wayman, afraid to fire at Towsley for
fear of injuring his companion, rushed
to the rescue, shooting twice into the
air as he came. He pulled Towsley
away, hurting him sprawling toward
the car which the other Automobiles
were just entering Then he grabbed
his companion, and the two disap-
peared in the darkness at the side Of
the road.
The Automobiles made record time
to Rhinebeck, and from there tele-
phoned to the authorities in Pough-
keepsie and neighboring towns. Dep
uty sheriffs were Immediately sent
out after the highwaymen.
Nearly a score of automobile hold
ups have occurred in this neighbor-
hood during the last few weeks.

JERSEYITES Vote
FOR U. S. SENATOR
Thought the Result will Decide Wheth-
er or Not John J. kean viii Re-
turn to the Senate.
. 10y Union Associated Press.)

Newark, N. j., Sept. 13.-Today's
primary elections in New Jersey are
of national interest, since the result
will probably decide whether United
States Senator John Kean shall re-
turn to Washington, or be succeeded
by another. While the expression of
popular sentiment will not be final, 1t
is not likely that the State Legislature
at its session next January, will dare
defy the will Of the people.
The law permitting New Jersey
senatorial aspirants to appeal to the
people was passed during the admins
tration Of Gov. Stokes, but there is
nothing in the law compelling the leg.

ARKANSAS VOTES
On new Plan TO
UPSET BAD LAWS
Initiative And Referendum Was The
CHIEF Issue involved in Election
:, There Yesterday.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 13.-Arkan.
sas electors yesterday voted for State
.ofncers and the adoption or rejection
Of an initiative and referendum amend
ment to the constitution. For the
past nve days w. ]. Bryan has
stumped the State in the interest OF
the amendment, making from FIVE to
six speeches each day.
The candidates for governor were:
George w. Donaghey. Democrat; An
drew |. Roland, Republican, and Dan
lei Hogan, Socialist.
The adoption of the initiative and
referendum amendment was the most
absorbing feature of the election as
It IL fully anticipated that all the Dem
ocratic nominees received the usual
large plurality.
The amendment If adopted will vfr-
tually place the law making in the
hands of the people.
In the event the legislature passes
an Objectionable measure the people,
BY petition, can have it suspended IN
I'll a referendum vote is had at the
next general election. This rule ap-
plies where the legislature fails to
enact law desired by the people. It
also provides that the electors Of a
municipality shall have the right to
Initiate measures pertaining to the
municipality and to have the right to
have referred to them by the refer
endum measures passed by the State
legislative body which apply to the
county. The number Of petitioners
necessary to initiate or refer a meas
ure as applied to a municipality or
county would necessarily be the re-
quired percentage, as stated in the
amendment, of electors in the munich
pality or in the county. No exemp-
ton could be made as to any munich
pality or county from any of the GRIM
inal laws or other penal statutes,
which statutes apply to the whole
State.
Every act of the legislature can be
appealed to the people where per
cent of the voters so desire it.

Proposes TO Negotiate Loans.
The Nicaraguan government desires
to settle these claims without entering
into any formal convention, but If II
cannot be arranged informally, the
Nicaraguan president asked that a
commissioner, clothed with power to
negotiate treaty, be sent to Mana
qua.
To secure money for the payment
of these claims of the United States
President Estrada expressed his de-
sire to negotiate a loan, which would
be guaranteed by the setting aside of
1 per cent of the customs receipts of
the country. A very important pre-
liminary would be a careful considera-
ton and a probable scaling down of
the apparent Indebtedness, for it is
believed that many of the claims have
been grossly inflated and are more
