OFFICERS ARREST
TWO BAD MEN.

Officers at Pasco, Washington, last
Tuesday arrested two very, very bad
men, judging from the arsenal they
carried and the valuables taken of
their persons.
They boarded Northern Pacific
freight train at Lind, Washington
and when asked for their tickets
showed their guns, declaring them to
be all the tickets needed. When the
train arrived at Pasco, the authori.
ties were notified and the arrests fol.
lowed.
They had on their persons about
$1,000 worth of loot, consisting of one
40 Colt revolver, silver finish, with
pearl handle. One 3S Iver-Johnson
revolver, five ladies rings, one bearing
the letters e. A. F. One mans ring,
one sterling brooch with Emma and
Frederick" one half pint of nltro-glyc
crime, ten feet OF fuse and dynamite
caps. five baby necklaces, one Car
rie Nation hatchet, with diamond set
ting, six gold watches, one bearing
number 6,7S0.757. Among their be-
longings were found wedges used to
pry open safes. vaseline, and soap,
used in blowing them up. They car
ried their guns in their shirt sleeves.
An ammonia gun. which is used when
a robbery is being committed without
making report. was also found.
The men refuse to talk or de-
vulge any of their past. They are
being held awaiting advices from diff
ferent parts of the country.

RAIL DEATHS NONE
ON HARTMAN LINES
CARRY 4s,4s1,ooo PERSONS IN
SAFETY ACCORDING TO
REPORT FOR 1910.

Installation of safety devices and
the block signal system ere cited for
the record OF the Hartman railroads
In carrying 49,491, 900 passengers in
1910 without sacrificing single life,
The report was compiled in the Of
flee of Julius Kruttshcnitt, director of
maintenance and operation, Chicago.
1t covers the business of the Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific and affilia-
ted roads, a total OF 1850 miles. The
total number of passengers carried
on a mile basis Isl 10000 900.
The Hartman system carried 10
percent of the estimated 1910 passen-
ger traffic. The figures for most of
the other railroads have not yet been
compiled by the Government, but in
1909 the number OF passengers carried
was 2900O,0O0,000. The figures for
1910, 1t is said, will not exceed a
billion more
Many other railroads have gone
through year without fatality to
any of its passengers, but it is said
that no system has made this record
for such large total of passengers.
Reuslts on the Hartman lines are
ascribed to campaign waged by the
management for years to reduce acci-
dents. The Hartman system now has
more miles of automatic block signal
protection than any other system in
the world. Mr.. Kruttschnitt has di.
rected special attention to the acct
dent problem and began several years
ago to bring about a reduction by
giving complete publicly to all forms
OF accidents and their investigation,
which, 1t is believed. spurred Of
ficers and employees to greater ef-
forts to safeguard lives.
In ls03-l9O4 the number of accL
dents on the Union Pacific was 30
for 100000 locomotive miles. On
the Pacific system OF the Southern
Pacific the number of accidents per
100000 locomotive miles was reduc-
cd from 29.5 to 1915 in the same time.

SUSPENSION OF GOLD COINAGE

A Washington dispatch says that
in consequence of a new law author
izing the secretary of the treasury
to issue gold certificates against
gold bullion no more gold will be
coined for about three years. The
coinage of silver and minor coins,
nickels and cents, will continue as
usual. The result will be. an accumu-
lation of gold bullion by the mints
and the issuing of new form of pa
per money or gold certificates in
stead of five, ten and twenty dollar
gold pieces. Gold coins are not much
in demand except when they can not
be obtained, as during a general sus-
pension of specie payments, but Or
dinarily most persons prefer to car
ry paper money. A suspension of
the coinage of gold for three years,
or even longer, will not make any
appreciable difference in the amount
in circulation.
The last report of the director of
the mint shows that since its estab-
lishment in 1898 the government has
coined $2,193,627 900 in 500 gold piec-
es, s445,S54,140 in $40 gold pieces,
$32S, ,203, 1875 in SIS pieces, $1,619,376 in
SO pieces, $33, 1923, ,S97.50 in $3.50 piec-
es and s19,S09.664 in dollars. The
$40 piece, IS piece and $3.50 piece
began to be coined in 1898, and have
been coined pretty steadily ever
since. The $40 piece was first coin
ed in 1850, the SO piece in 1854, and
the gold dollar in 1S49. Coinage of
the SO piece and the dollar was dis
continued In 1889. The issue of 9TH
er gold coins has continued from year
to year with occasional intervals.
The total amount of gold coins of all
denominations issued since the form
alton OF the government up to June
80, 1909, was $3.021, ,S37, ,272.50.
None of this has evaporated, but
much Of it has become worn by cir
culation and been recoined, and much
has gone into the melting pots of
the world or been utilized in manu-
featuring. Last year the government
coined 5,233,212 ounces of gold and
in 1904 1t coined 10,091,929 ounces.
Formerly gold certificates were is
sued against gold coin deposited in
the treasury in denominations as
low as $40 and as high as $4,000.
Under the new law and the temper
ary suspension of gold coinage they
will be issued against gold bullion
In denominations as low as $3.50.

An exchange writer brings the fol.
lowing interesting situation into spec.
ulative light: attention has been
called to German naval maneuvers in
the Sognefjord. The government has
encouraged foreign powers to let their
Warships visit Norway, but in this
case it is said that the Germans have
been sounding the waters through
which their ships passed. More than
once it has been stated that the next
Trafalgar will not be on the coast of
Spain, bit on the coast of Norway.
1t is generally supposed that the great
peace movement to which President
Taft has given an unparalleled i'm
petus will not accomplish it's purpose
until the big fellows of Europe have
had a record breaking clash and this
CLASH may occur among the skerries of
Norway. And the Norwegians will
try to be prepared for it according to
their limited means"
During the month of September the
University of Norway will celebrate

dent of St. Olaf college, Mortified,

On that OCCASION
A cablegram from Christiania SAYS:
"The recent military riots at three diff
ferent drill places have in some de-
gree shaken confidence in the national
defense. The disturbances probably
were started by some young socialists.
In two cases military prisoners, ar
rested for petty offenses, were iber-
ated. The participants in the riots
Will be punished severely"
Probably the oldest minister in
Norway is Rev. Anders P. Solbrack-

age.
