ROBBERS GET
 S2l5,000 HAUL
BIGGEST BANK ROBBERY IN AMI ERICA PULLED OFF AT NEW
 WESTMINSTER 8. c.
Blew Old Fashioned Safe and Make Successful Getaway With Third of a Million in Cold
 Cash.

New Westminster. B. C., Sept. 15. Three robberes, who took $3i5, 900 eaiy today from the Bank of Montreal's local branch, and thereby lperpetrated the largest "successfud' saie blowing record in America, are believed to be hiding tonight in Van lcouver, B. C.. with small chances of disposing of their booty undetect- ed.
 Bank officials assert a6l bills talk en by the bandits were new and mostly of large denomination and that tiltir serial numbers are recorded at the bank The gold taken cannot be traced so directly.
 Besides timing the robbery to match the vacation of the night watcnman. it developed today that the trio SC lected time when the banks cash supply was far above normal for the financing of salmon shipments of the canning season now closing.
 Manager G. D. Braymner, Who mas been in charge of the branch for 20 years, opened the bank for business shortly after ten o'clock this morn ing. Not great deal of business, however, was done over the counter for the place was crowded with lsight-seers. One of iGle clerks was isupposed to have slept at the bank and no explanation of his absence has been made.
 The outside vault was rebuild In cement and cast iron last year, but neither 1t nor thh safe was supposed to be burglar proof 1t is certain only one charge was used to wreck the safe. Several thousand dollars worth of damaged gold pieces, bent and scorched by line explosion were left lying on the bed i'll the clerks room.
 The police are practically at a stand-still. Detectives are being hir- ed by the bank officials, but there has been no attempt yet at a chase in any direction. All circumstances indicate the robbers had 4he haul carefuEy planned and the police be- lieve they are now so far away from New Westminster that attempts to SCOUT the country would be useless.
 They could have been in vancouve and had their booty safely housed before daylight.

 "The states and their subdivisions are hard pressed for available sour ces of revenue, prevalent methods of inheritance taxation being welcomed as a God-Send. This burden begins as the living expenses of the de ceased owned ends, and usually, not directly upon the estate but upon certain beneficiaries who consider ing these exemptions, are making but a reasonable contribution to government for access of unearnied wealth.. The tax is simple, easily understood and computed, difficult to evade, collected with small otrlay and supervision, and ill the course of administration of estate in local courts. According to circumstances division of proceeds can be made between state and county treasures.
 The state government Which gave direct protection to the decedent and and his property, during the period of it's acquisition. is the logical ben eficiary of the tax on it's transfer.

INSURGENTS NEVER NEARER FEDERAL TROOPS THAN ONE
 MlLE-ClTY IS SAFE.
NO FEAR OF ATTACK NOW
Belief Obtains That Orozco's Main Force Is Not Even Near Texas Border-Revolution Furious
 in Chihuahua.

Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 7.--Jaurez re- mains in the hands of the federals, who have been reinforced by the men of Colonel Rabago's command.
 The revolutionists under General Orozco. however, are in better condi- tion for fighting than at any time since they started northward. They have captured most of the munitions which were destined by Rabago for use in holding the city pending the ar rival of Navarro's command from Gnerrera and which were abandoned by the federal commander when his troops were compelled to fight their way through the rebel lines from Bauche, ten miles south of Jaurez.
 These are supplies badly needed by they rebels. They are reported to in the rebels. They are reported to in rifles and large quantities of rifle am intuition. This last was 'godsend,' as Orozco's men had used most of their spare bullets in the attempt to hold the Rabago forces in the small cut near Bauche, where their train of r cars wer derailed.
 City Safe, Is Belief.
 Jaurez. however, is believed to be safe.
 General Navarro, with his GOO sea soned veterans. who drove Orozco out of the district, is far more of a men, ace to Orozco than the handful of poorly armed and badly disciplined troops who now hold the city on the Rio Grande.
 It is now believed the rebels en- trenched to the south and east or Jaurez, threatening to attack the city in "short time," are merely DOT ton of Orozco's forces left behind to deceive Rabago. The main body of the Orozco army. military men here believe. is hurrying south to ambush Navarro.
 If is generally accepted that Oroz- co. by his policy of temporizing whether through fear or for some strategem, lost his chance of captur- ing Jaurez without serious bloodshed.
 Plans to Harass.
 There are few persons here who believe Orozco will try again. Rather, 1t is thought, he will inflict as much damage on the federals as possible and then reappear at some point lett unguarded by the frantic movement of endorsements to Jaurez.
 The most recent fighting was of the comic opera variety. At no time were inc insurrectos closer to the federal lines than a mile. There was plenty of shooting. but the bullets for the most part simply stirred up the dust
 It was not until after nightfall that Colonel Rabago moved. Under cover
