Railroad Robber Captured.

St. Louis, Sept. ALBERT Julien,
hunted by the police as the murderer
of Flagman Wine, in the Burlington
holdup, was captured at $50 this
morning. He is identified as Julien,
but denies that he killed Wine.
Not since the day when Jesse James
and his brother Frank stuck up"
fast trains at will, has more daring
and spectacular robbery been attempted
west of the Mississippi.
Fearful OF retreating, and desperate
because his pal had missed the Bur
lngton Pacific coast express, the un-
identified robber, thought to be Albert
Julien, resolved to carry through his
plan at any cost. He swung onto the
rear end of the last OF six Pullmans
and climed over the" gate. There he
encountered Flagman J. NJ. Wine.
With an oath the bandit removed his
first obstacle by shooting Wine through
the head He then tossed Wines body
overheard, dead. The bandit was mask
ed by blue handkerchief. Opening
the car door, the murderer, was stopped
by negro porter, attracted by the
shot. The porter was backed into a
closet and locked in. Here, the train
electrician, Thomas Griffin, entered
the lavatory. The robber compelled
Griffin to accompany him in the
berth section. With the bandit cover
ing both himself and the passengers,
Griffin relieved five passengers OF
money and valuables. In less than
ten minutes after he had murdered
the trainman, the robber, fearing the
train would carry HIM on to the
Merchants bridge, dashed through
the door and jumped.
st. Louis, Sept THE police early
today arrested Emil Freund, OF Chicago,
who confessed they say, that nc and
his pal, Albert Julien, also OF Chicago,
planned the hold-up OF the Burlington
Pacific Coast express train i'll the ST.
Louis yards last night. Both men were
formerly stercotypers on Il Chicago
newspaper.

Reign of Crime In Italy.

Rome, Sept. 7.-One Of the most
startling reigns OF crime in the history
OF the Black Hand in Italy has come to
light in the investigation into the MUIR
der at Pellaro, Calabria, of Policeman
Giuseppe Roveliuo, his wife and six
children. Official figures given out to-
day show that in July and August,
there were Al murders in the Pellaro
district, rs woundings, 80 bomb ex-
plosions, six kidnappings, and in
Vulnerable blackmailings. All OF these
crimes are attributed to the Black
Hand, which is more active there than
at any place in Italy.
The police are making wholesale
arrests, but 80 far there is but little
evidence against any Of the suspects.
Most of them are emigrants returned
from America, where Rovolino former
iy lived.

Roosevelt Endorses Ia Toilette.

Milwaukee. Wis, Sept. with
characteristic vigor. Theodore Roose-
welt today endorsed the victory OF
Senator La Toilette and his progrcssives
and denounced the rumored attempt to
pack" the legislature and reverse the
primary result. He issued the follow
ing statements:
1T has been stated to me that in
spite Of Senator La Toilette having
secured the primary in fair and open
contest, an effort will be made to beat
him in the legislature. do not for
one moment believe this, because such
conduct will be an outrage and de-
Iibcratc violation OF good faith. When
in Oregon democratic candidate for
governor, Governor Chamberlain
carried the primaries, and il was pro-
posed that the republican legislature
should turn him down, | took the
position that such in act would be one
of had faith by the legislature toward
the people. and | take the same posi-
ton here.
The letter of Mayor Seidcl, the so
cialst mayor OF Milwaukee, denounc-
ing Roosevelt and refusing to welcome
him also drew statement from him
today He said:
''On this trip ! have made no partl-
san political speeches, and ! shall not
break the rule now 10y discussing either
the state party nor municipal mat
tiers, and, of course, at present doml-
nant party in Milwaukee, the socialist
party. II any one wishes to know my
views on what is called socialism, they
will find them set forth in such fashion
that it is impossible to misunderstood
them in the Outlook magazine. +"
Although Mayor Seidel refused to
welcome Col. Roosevelt, the colonel
did not want for greeting. He was the
centre OF enthusiastic thousands. The
colonel was taken to his hotel for bre;lk-
fast. During his stay here he was the
guest OF the Milwaukee Press Club.
Immediately after breakfast he was
taken on wild auto trip about the
city.
During the day the colonel held sew
eral conferences with local politicians
and discussed yesterdays primaries.
He was interested in hearing OF the de-
feat Of Senator Burrows in Michigan,
but refused to comment.
Tonight Roosevelt will have dinner
at the Press Club and will speak to
big meeting ut the Auditorium.

ALEXANDRIA,, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT has sharply defined
the issue OF conservation and placed
himself openly in opposition to the at
titude assumed by President Taft. lie
did this in St. Paul yesterday in his
speech to the conservation congress.
The contrast between the position taken
by him and that OF his successor in the
presidency was made so clear that all
were forced to realize its existence.
Mr.. Taft has Endorsed state control Of
water-power sites and OF other natural
resources. Mr.. Roosevelt declared,
without mentioning the president III
this connection, that the special inter
ests which have advanced this propose
ton do SO to escape all regulation
and supervisor, and are for state rcgI-
lation only because they believe II
would prove ineffective, while those
who are advocating state control do So
in behalf of the special interests and
against the interests OF the general pub
lie. Mr.. Roosevelt said on tho plat
form that much Of his own speech
would be but repetition OF what had
been well said by the president on Mon
day, but when he came 10 the real
questions that form the issues IN the
fight for and against conservation al

HUNDREDS Of thousands OF vaca-
tionists returning from mountain and
seaside, Monday, taxed the capac-
ity of the railroads entering New
York. Estimates by station masters
and train masters OF the various
roads brought the total number up
to half a million. The heavy traf'
fic is not expected to diminish before a
day or two. To handle the expected
Labor Day throngs returning from
summer outings, trains were run III
double sections, and frequently in as
many rs six sections. The vacation
season is nearing its close. Thousands
who have spent the summer in Europe
are now returning, many Ill the steer
age of steamers, being unable to pro-
cure saloon tickets by reason OF the en-
traordinary demand for cabin accom-
modations. As is always the case, the
great majority of mankind have n"
vacation, but continue to toll on md
winters SHOWS and summers heat.

AS HAD been anticipated. nothwith-
standing the pretended optimism of
stand patters, the result OF yesterdays
elections in Wisconsin, New Hampshire,
Vermont and Michigan show a decided
falling off in the republican vote. Prcsi-
dent Taft and his coadjutors are working
assiduously in the effort TO consolidate
their party, but the breach is widening
every day. 1t is about time the people
of the country were throwing of Il
yoke which has been depressing the
bulk of the inhabitants of the country
for nearly half century.

ROOSEVELT AND TAFT.

The real break has come. Roose.
volt is headed in one direction, Taft in
the other.
The speech OF the ex-president be.
fore the second National Conservation
Congress at St. Paul yesterday marked
the real parting of the ways, and the
predictions Of these who have held
that this congress would be the scene
of political developments of wide
national significance have been full
filled.
On Monday President Taft, after de-
claring that he had inherited his con
servation policies from Theodore Roose.
welt and rejoiced in the inheritance,
proceeded to lay down another and
different policy.
The immediate effect of this was the
depression by Roosevelt from his pre-
pared speech and the emphatic enun-
citation Of conservation doctrine di-
rectly the reverse in certain vital feat
ures of the one so judicially uttered by
his successor in the high office oil
president.
Taft straddled the state versus ma
tional control proposition and delibera'
tely lodged the water-power issue.
Roosevelt, with bluntncss and
holiness that set the crowd wild, de-
clared for national control over all
conservation projects, land and water,
| vehemently asserting that it is solely
question OF the special interest"
against those OF the plain people ana
that back of the states rights move,
ment is the desire OF the predatory cor
porations to pillage the public freed Of
all control

NO MONEY FOR PUBLIC BUILD.
IkGS.

Because OF Investigations commenced
a day or two ago by Postmaster Spence,
OF Charlotte, N. c., Of Supervising
Architect Taylor, of the Treasury, As
to why there was no money forthconl-
ing ut this time for the enlargement OF
the present post-otiice building at that
place, it has been found that, although
Congress on June IS last voted to pass
Il public building bill, carrying what
vas supposed to be a general appropri-
alton Of something like so, 900, 900,
there is not a dollar now available for
the construction Of new buildings from
such act. Ordinarily such actual APP
preparations would be made under the
'sundry civil" bill, at the coming
session of Congress, and the purpose OF
the law carried out. As matter OF
fact, however, nothing has been done
except to favorably consider authori-
zations," so far as actual money is con-
ccrned, with the exception OF the pur-
chase OF sites. All the towns in North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Ten
nesscc, Virginia and Florida, and, in
fact, elsewhere in the United States
which are awaiting for work to begin,
are without money ut this time, and
may in certain contingencies, be left
high and dry.
