and the possibilities of
the gold train appealed to him very
strongly. But it was too big a job for
him to undertake alone. So he sought
the professional advice and assistance
of Agar. That gentleman seized the
suggestion with avidity.
The first step necessary was to win
over one of the employees of the COM
pany. So they approached one Of the
guards named Burgess, who was usu-
ally i'm charge of the trains carrying
the gold He fell i'm with the scheme
and explained the methods of trans
pOrtatiOn.
As the gold was carried in the
guards van it was plain that the rob-
berry would be easy when Burgess was
on guard. The question was how to
open the safes. The answer to that
was plain enOugh-to get false keys in
place of the real ones. Agar told his
pal that he would have TO get wax
impression of the real keys in order to
make the duplicates.
That's too bad" was the response.

And so the conspiracy. which had

Succumbed to temptation. His name
was Tester and he was i'm position
to lay his hands on the keys Of the

This fellow was employed in the

The humorous phase of the KEEL

Tn. Good Achieved by--one Modest
Citizen.

Kansas City no doubt has many
citizens OF whom the people are
proud But there is one in whom
they have a right to take special
pride. His name is William Volker.
lie is man of wealth, and what
he has done for the poor and un-
fortunate OF his community furnishes
a fine lesson in practical philan-
thropy. Hampton's Magazine for
March tells about him:
Three years ago Kansas City. Mo.
faced remarkable and unpleasant
situation. That was panic time.
Thousands of men were out of work.
and as idleness begets lawlessness,
the workhouse was overflowinS with
prisoners. The defeat OF bond
issue had left the city almost with
out funds. There was no money with
which to pay guards to watch over
the prisoners who might work in the
streets In this emergency william

appointed by the mayor president Ot
the board Of parole and pardons which
had charge of the workhouse. The
city owned a 13O-acre farm; Volker
transferred a lot OF the prisoners to
this farm and at his own expense
hired guards and superintendent to
direct their work.
Many of the prisoners were skilled
in various trades-plumbers, carpen-
ters. painters. bricklayers-and these
were given the task of refurnishing
and repairing the shabby buildings
on the neglected farm. Other prison.

The FeIs Puzzle Machine.

The legislature and the courts Of
Oregon are wrestling with two vex-
atious results of legislation by the
initiative" i'm that state. At the
election of two years ago. two fiat
ly contradictory laws affecting the
fishery industry were enacted at the
polls, and one of these laws. which
has been found extremely oppressive
aud objectionable everywhere. the
legislature proposes to repeal. The
other law. which is troubling the
courts. is an act passed by the peo-
pie at the late election which was
50 disguised as to deceive the voters
as to its intent. While purporting
to grant TO counties greater lati-
tude in the matter of local taxa
ton. its real purpose was to pro-
vide for the single taxa tax upon
land exclusively. The law was framed
up and put through by Fels. the mil
lionaire soapmakeer. aided by U'Ren

ller's personal means. and has never
been repaid by the city. 1t was not
la profitable experiment for Mr.
Nolker's purse, but it solved the
.city's problem, and its effect on the
prisoners themselves was to free them
at the end of their terms-as self
reliant workers, not as frowsy va
grants
The new president of the board of
paroles and pardons did not stop
with the farm. He put a shoeshop in
the workhouse and sewing room in
the women's department devoting the
proceeds of these prison activities
To the support Of the hospitals and
city charities. He had the name of
the board changed to the board of
public welfare. and its scope CORE
spondingly enlarged. As president of
the new board he established a parole
system for prisoners. a loan bureau,
a legal aid society. municipal Iodg-
ing house, thorough house inspection
and dancehall inspection.
Mr. Nolker's parole work. both
with men and women. is intelligent
and thorough. Before a prisoner is
paroled one of Mr.. Nolker's privately
paid officers obtains employment for
him. If a man has been neglecting
his family he has to sign an agree
ment to let his employer deduct
a stated amount from his wages for
the benefit of the wife and children.
If a paroled prisoner is unmarried
and improvident he has to agree to
put a certain amount every payday
in the savings bank. Many of these
great social undertakings were be-
gun at Mr.. Volker's own expense.
but gradually they have been taken
over by the city. With the burden
of these expenditures lifted from his
purse he Immediately placed others
upon it.
He was one Of the heaviest con-

The Status of Captured Americans
in Mexico.

Some piquancy is given to the
war" news from Mexico by the
announcement that although Cen
craI Navarro had to return to
Juarcz with an acknowledgement of
his failure to encounter the main
body of Orozcos army" the feder-
ais did capture two Americans who
had been. fighting with the rebels.
One of the captured Americans is
Lawrence L. Converse of Los An
gelcs. young man of good family
and good reputation.
Until the Mexican government dis
closes its program with reference to
Americans captured with the insur-
gents. it will he interesting to spec
ulate as to their fate Some of the
Mexican rebels have been summari-
u shot Immediately after their cap
tue. and others have been sent TO
Tie far south for Imprisonment The
two Americans mentioned arc thus
far held in Jail at Juarez ''incomuni-
cado," which means that nobody ex-
cept the federal authorities is per-
mittcd to communicate with them.
But il is not likely that they will
be executed II can be assumed
with safety that the Mexican gov
crnment will proceed cautiously with
its treatment of American prisoners,
for there can be no doubt that
strong sentiment would be aroused
in this country against the Diaz gov
eminent in the event of its unduly
harsh treatment of citizens of this
country
But the fact remains that our
own government has no right to in
terpose objections if Mexico chooses
20 shoot Americans that take part
i'm the instruction. We have not
vet recognized the rebels as bellig-
crents. neither has Mexico Until
their rights as belligerents are rec
ognized. Mexico has the legal right
TO treat them as bandits. They are
not entitled to the rights of prison.
ers of war The government down
there may be influenced by another
consideration. however, and that is
that the rebels also are taking pris-
oners from time to time, and the
cruel treatment Of prisoners by one
side will inevitably lead to reprisals.
But all Americans who may be
inclined to join the rebels, for the
excitement of it, or for any other
reason. will do well to bear in mind
that they must leave behind them
all rights to appeal to their own gov
ernment of they are captured.
At the present stage of the war,
an American "insurrecto" who falls
into the hands of the Mexican au-
thorities has simply the status of
bandit and murderer in the eyes of
the Mexican authorities.

Finances and Markets

decline in stocks which has taken place
