Months and Pay $4,000 for Sell
ing Postage Stamps.

Wichita, Kansas-Levi S. Naftzger
millionaire and president of national
bank, must serve 10 months in the
federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan,
for serving as fence" for postoffice
robbers. In addition he must pay
fine of $4,000.
This sentence was pronounced upon
Naftzger by Judge Pollock Of the fed
eral court and in accordance with the
verdict of guilty returned against
Naftzger by jury last Sunday.
Frank S. Burt, who acted as an
agent for the robbers while he served
as chief of police of Wichita, was also
sentenced to Is months in prison and
must pay a fine Of $1,000. Burt
turned states evidence and said IN
court that in return for the testimony
he gave he expected to be let off with
a fine. He said he had such prom
Use from the United States district
attorney, but apparently he failed to
make arrangements with Judge Pol
lock.
John Callahan, proprietor of Gala
hans dump" was hit hardest Of all.
His sentence was five years in prison
and fine of $1,000 Callahan's place
was a resort for thieves and he was
the leader of the band of criminals
that made Wichita its headquarters.
Edward Earl and Ray Templetor,
the men who actually robbed the post
office, were fined 500 each and SEN
fenced to five years in prison.
Naftzger and Callahan gave notice

The IMMUNITY BATH VOID
NO LONGER A SHIELD FOR AC.
CUSED PACKERS.
The Acts Now Complained of Were
Committed Since Testimony Was
Given in 1906.

Chicago, Illinois.-The indicted Chi
cago packers have lost their fight
against going to trial on the indict-
ments secured by the government sew
eral months ago. Judge Carpenter in
the United States district court has
overruled their demurrer to the
charges and held that the immunity
granted by Judge Humphreys of the
federal circuit court in 1906 do not
apply to the present charges which,
he held were based on evidence not
included in the Humphrey decision.
Judge Carpenters decision occupied
nearly an hour in reading and went
into the controversy relating to i'm
munity with great detail.
In brief, the packers position was
that any conspiracy that might have
existed was the plotting prior to Judge
Humphreys immunity decision and
that the immunity from prosecution
granted them extended over all future
time, so long as the acts covered
by the 1906 decision remained the
same
In deciding this Judge Carpenter
ruled that the immunity granted them
was only for acts which had been COM
mitted prior to the date of the indict-
ment and could not pertain to any I'M
lawful act which was performed after
that time.
The evidence given by the packers
before the grand jury, he said, could
not relate to that which had not taken
place and hence could have no future
application.

AN OKLAHOMA TRAIN ROBBERY
MISSOURI PACIFIC HELD UP
NEAR NOWATA.
From the Mail and Express Cars 1t
is Estimated That $4,000 Was
Secured.

Coffeyville, Kansas.-The Missouri
Pacific northbound train, was held up
near Nowata, Ok, south of Coffeyville.
The mail car was rifled of registered
mail and the safe in the express car
was blown open and the contents, be-
lieved to be many thousands of dol
lars, carried off.
AS the train was pulling out OF
Lenapah, Ok, 16 miles south of Cot
feyville, the firemen discovered a man
when he believed to be a tramp on
top of the tender. AS the fireman
called to the engineer, the man pulled
a revolver and ordered the fireman to
attend to his work. Then the engineer
noticed two other men behind him.
When four miles out of Leapah,
near a clump of timber, the leader
ordered the engineer to stop. The
enginemen were then forced to leave
the cab and enter the Jim Crow car.
Three other masked men appeared
and in the meantime climbed into the
combination mail, baggage and ex-
press car and covered the mail clerks
and express messenger. They were
made to lie down beside the track in
a row. The bandits then rifled the
contents of the car at will.

WIRELESS UNDER THE EARTH
German Scientists Send Messages
One and One-Half Miles Through
Mountains.

Berlin, Germany-Two German sci
entists, DR.. Leimbach and DR.. Loewy,
have successfully applied wireless
telegraph for underground communi-
cation. Messages have been sent be-
tween the potash mines in the North
Harz mountains distance of nearly
a mile and half, at level of 1,6OO
feet below the surface.
The messages were so clearly de-
livered that the scientists conclude
much greater distances are feasible.
The discovery is regarded as highly
important in case of mine disasters.

MAY SEND ARMS TO MEXICO
The State Department Has Decided
That Food and Ammunition May
Cross the Border.

Washington, d. C.-The reported
attack on United States soldiers at
Preside, Tex, by Mexican troops be-
cause the former stopped the exporta-
ton of provisions to Mexico, has
raised the question in the minds OF
officials here as to the possibility Of
the American authorities having ex-
ceeded their authority in enforcing
the neutrality laws.
The state department holds that the
sending of provisions and even arms
and ammunition in the ordinary
process of commerce is legitimate
The other departments of the govern
ment interested in the enforcement
of the neutrality laws-treasury, JUS
tice and war-have been advised Of
state departments views in the mat
ter. All these &C illustrative officers,
it is said in ofiiC al quarters, are in
harmony as to Interpretation of ma
tional and International law on the
subject.

 banded themselves together and controlled the commerce of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea which at that period substantially embraced the civilized world. They fixed arbitrary prices and enforced their exactions by their ships of war. They subjugated the laboring class and constituted an aristocrary of wealth, which dominated civilization for cen- turies.
 In ancient Greece a small privi- legged class practically obtained complete control of the lands, the shipping, mines, trade, commerce and other sources of wealth.
 A majority of the populace were slaves or dependent freemen, whose sweat and blood the aristo- tocratic class coined and squan- dered. To such an estate were their victims reduced that Plato referred to the LABoRING classes as the living machines which wealth possesses.
 The origin of monopoly in Eng land is so remote that it is lost in the mists of antiquity.
 The Norman confscated the holdings of the Saxon proprietors of England and created vast es- tates the titles to which were vested in the feudal Lords. The same policy was followed when England conhscated nearly nine tenths of the lands of the Irish people.
 These monarchs of the soil were able to extort from a helpless tenantry outrageously high. rents. The tiller of the soil, the laborer, was allowed to retain only suffi- cient barley to sustain his life. So through all the history of man, commercial marauders, drones in the hives, non-producers and ex- ploiters of the laborers, gathered where they had not toiled and reaped where they had not sown; they toiled not and neither did they spin yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of them. But finally the light began to break, laborers, tradesmen and craftmen began to organize them selves into guilds and unions for their protection, and you must re- member that EVEN as late as the year 1900 in England it was a crime punishable with very severe penalties for labofing men to or ganize themselves into unions.
 In the year 1873 the Labor Unions secured the passage of a law through the English Parlia- ment that defined their rights and powers and gave such organiza- tions an established position. With this franchise and their newly established rights the trade-unions there have made rapid progress in numbers, in wealth and influence and they NOW are able to bring a mighty power to bear in settling any question.
 Up to the time of the Revolu- tionary War, the people of the United States supplied themselves with necessaries almost entirely by what was then known as the DOMESTIC SYSTEM of manufactures or what was then called COTTAGE INDUSTRY; spinning and weaving and the production of boots and shoes and food products were carried on inside of the home. Here and there, it is true, were small factories engaged in the
