KANSAN HELD UP TRAIN
After Obtaining $117 in Colorado He
Was Captured.

Pueblo, Col. Jan. ga lone ban
dit, who gave his name as AL Bane,
alias Al Bebtley, held up the passen-
gers of the Colorado & Southern pas
senger train No. 20, southbound, a few
minutes after it had left the Union
depot here, at 4:30 o'clock Friday af-
ternoon.
After obtaining Silt and some jew
elry from the passengers he leaped
from the train.
The robber was captured after be-
ing wounded. He said his correct
name was Al Bane, alias AL Bebtley.
He gave his home as Athol, Kan,
where he said his parents and wife
reside. He declared he formerly was
an engineer on the Santa Fee railroad
In Kansas.
All the money and valuables were
recovered.
Special Agent William McCafferty,
of the Rio Grande railroad, was on the
train and when he learned the bandit
was at work in the rear coach he
started back and reached the plat
form as the robber jumped from the
train. McCafferty followed him, firing
at the fleeing bandit. The robber re-
turned the shots. In the fusillade the
robber was shot through the right
wrist and when his gun dropped from
his hand he surrendered.

BUSINESS DRAGS.
Unreasonable Weather Causes Trade
to Fall Short of Expectations.

New York, Jan. 28.-Bradstreet's says:
Trade is quiet and tends to drag ex-
cept in supplies for agricultural inter-
ests where spring requirements must
be met. Unseasonably mild weather has
tended to dull retail trade despite clear
ance sales and many markets report OPP
erations below expectations.
Except at some markets where early
trade has ruled quiet. Cotton goods
leads in activity. In wholesale lines,
conservatism rules purchases for spring
and distant positions.
Demand apparently is the result of
inducements offered buyers, and lines
showing concessions are more active
than the regular staples on which for
mer prices are firmly held.
In industry. aside from a cheerful
feeling in iron and steel, quiet still pre-
walls. Trade in wire products has ex-
banded, helped by the seasonable adj
vent of spring demand.

Nevertheless the renewed rumors of
the early retirement of Mr.. Bryce
cause no surprise here. For two years
it has been the talk of diplomatic
Washington that the aged diplomat
would not remain long in active serv-
ice, but the months have dragged on
and he is still there.
Sir Maurice de Bunsen has been
mentioned as his successor, and it is
expected that he will succeed to the
Washington post whenever Mr.. Bryce
finally decides to retire. 1t had not
been expected that Mr.. Bryce would
return here after his protraeted tour
of South America but to the surprise
of the diplomatic set he was in Wash
ington in time for New Years func-

am convinced that such an investigation
win moi only aid in the liquidation Of the

bringing 10 justice individuals who may
have been guilty Of WrOngdOing, whether
officers Of the institution or not II such
AN Investigation is conducted in an impair
ual and dignihed manner, il can in no way
discredit well managed banking institutions

proper administration Of all the laws OF
the state, civil and criminal and increase
the respect in which they are held. be-
lieVe that both the interest Of the depos-
itors and the cause OF sound and conseTVa-
tive banking will be furthercd by such an
investigation
The Borough Bank had at the date Of its

SMALL BANKS FAVORED
New York Cannot Control Ma
tional Reserve Association.

Washington. Dec. 2o.-The National
Monetary Commission to-day decided the
general outlines Of the fifteen districts into
which the United States would he divided
under the Aldrich plan. In the sectional ar
rangement of districts. 1t is said. special
consideration was given to the interests Of
the smaller banks In order to crafty the
popular feeling against any possibility of
the big and influential banks getting con
trol Of the proposed National Reserve As
sociation. thirty Of whose forty-five direc-
tors would be elected by the districts.
Under the division agreed upon New Eng
land would constitute one district. the East
ern states two. the South four, the Middle
West four and the Pacific Coast states four.
Onc-ffth of the banking power OF the ma
ton is concentrated in New York. but, ii is
pointed out. all the Eastern states will form
only two districts. This is regarded as ad-
vantaseous 20 the smaller banks and out Of
proportion 10 the invested capital Of the
East.
