TRAIN ROBBERY IN RUSSIA.

As bandits hold up trains and carry off large sufs of money almost daily, the Russian government has decided Co construct armOred carriages for the use of the State Bank. They will run regularly between this city and Rus sia's principal towns.
 They are to be of iron and will con tain accommodation for a strong con lvoy of soldiers. Each wagon will be so planned that the guard can fire from it as from a fort. Each train will be under the command of an of ficer. who is said to have full power to open fire on all suspicious persons Approaching the train.
 The authorities have come to the conclusion that this is the only means lawlessness on Russian railway tracks As the ordinary postal trains can only carry small convoy. the raiders have grown so daring that they now hold up trains in broad daylight and quiet ly bury their booty in a neighboring forest while the panic stricken pas sengers wait for them to set the en- zine driver free.
 In future only mails and small sums of money will be sent by ordinary trains. Private banks will be able to hire accommodation in the armored trains. They will begin to run in a couple of months time.

Should Build Library.

The enforcement of our liuuor
laws should receive our careful at
tention. | believe that the saloons
OF Salem are better conducted than
in any other city in the state. No
'elaXation should be permitted.
The Importance of a public library
IN Salem is acknowledged. A build
ing suitable for its purpose should
be erected at an early day. This is
matter which appeals to every
public-spirited citizen of this dav
and age. want to see its shelves
teeming with the best literature ex-
tant. Let it be available to the
young and the old and where infor-
nation on all topics can be readily
available.
The necessity for the enforcement
OF the curfew ordinance belongs pron-
erly to our police department and 7
nave confidence in our newly elected
chiei OF police that 1t will be ad-
hered to.
Ihe common practice due to neg
lgence or otherwise of throwing
waste paper or other trash on our
streets should not be permitted AL
leys and backyards should be cleanIv
TO the end that visitors to our citv
VIII be impressed by its sanitary
conditions.
The citizens of Salem should en-
courage the planting of shade or or
nanental trees near the curb line of
their premises which will reflect
credit and add beauty to the genera,

fort tending towards the further in

an emergency arises, should be
frowned upon. The past administra-
tion wisely levied an additional one
mill tax for the purpose Of reducing
the present deficit. and it may be
necessary to devise ways and means
to further reduce the indebtedness

With the latest and best safety de-
vices urge upon you the impor-
lance of appropriate action looking
towards necessary protection at rail-
lOad crossings and more particularly
let South Commercial street. An ordi
nance should be passed calling for
the installation of automatic gates at
this point and if this is not feasible,
then to insist that a hagman be sta
toned there.
81 recommend the installation Of |
c fire alarm system. The city is
growing rapidly in every direction
and the danger of a cOnfagration !
would be minimized by adopting ne
cessary means for prompt communi-
cation to the department.
For additional protection of our
community the necessity for a desk |
sergeant at police headquarters is
essential Citizens should be in a
position to get into immediate COM
munication with the department with
out unnecessary delay.
Install More Lights.
The citizens of our city, especially |
those living in our outlying districts, !
are deserving of a fair number of |
arc or incandescent lights and ia
vor granting the necessary relief
along these lines.
The Oregon Electric Railway
passes through the heart of our city
and believe that in justice to our
community, action should be taken
to the installation of incandescent
lights OF high candle power on each
and every intersection of the streets
over which the line traverses, with
out cost to the city.

ri made q careful examination OF
the road at the scene OF the crime
near my brother Toms house and l
saw no blood except the first blot"
Thomas Wrenn, another detective,
gave more corroborative testimony OF
the absence of blood spots.
This testimony was introduced to
combat the story told by 15-year-old
Alexander Robertson yesterday that
he had seen on the Midlothian turn
pike blood spots other than the pool
OF blood where Mrs. Henry G. Beattie
Jr. Is alleged to have been killed by
her husband.
The Significance OF the lads declar-
atoms is that If 1t should be proven
that there were many blood spots on
the road 1t would support the conten-
ton of the defense that the first pool
Of blood dripped from the machine
from the bleeding woman, who was
alleged by Beattie to have been shot
while in the front seat.
The prosecution seeks to show that
there was but one blood spot, that no
blood could have oozed from the ma.
chine and that the large pool resulted
from the shooting Of Mrs. Beattie
while she was standing either on the
running board or in the road.
