TRAIN HELD Up
TIES AND TELEGRAPH POLES
PLACED ON TRACK CAUSE
AN ABRUPT HALT.
NEAR ERIE PENNSYLY ANIA
Mail Clerk Fatally Shot and Conductor
is Laid low.-Intrepid Passenger
Thrown 500 Feet Down an
E~mbankment.

Erie, Penn. - A fast mail and
passenger train on the Philadelphia &
Erie railroad was held UP five miles
from this city by a band of a dozen
masked men. The mail and express
cars and three CO the crew, c. p. Block
Of Erie. mail clerk, and p. d. Rooney,
Erie, conductor and c. F. Bemis,
brakeman, were injured. Block was
shot in the right side and was taken
to a hospital in 4 dying condition.
Rooney received serious injuries when
he was hit by a stone thrown by one
of the robbers. Bemis was shot in
the arm
4 few minutes before 10 o'clock,
when the train was making n large
curve, the engineer saw an Obstruc-
ton ahead. He stopped the train with
all possible speed, but not before II
crashed into the ties and telegraph
poles that had been placed across the
track.
When the train hit the obstruction
Il was first believed by the passengers
that there had been a collision with
another train. The next moment, how.
ever, the crack of revolVers %acquaint'
cd them with the real cause of the
trains stop.
Unknown Passenger Hurt.
An unknown passenger, who, brav-
or than the rest caught hold of one
of the robbers, was picked up bodily
and thrown over a 300-foOt embank-
ment. His condition is serious. The
mans head, face and body were badly
cut and his clothing torn from his
hack. He vas taken to a hospital in
an unconscious condition.
The spot selected by the robbers
was ideal for their work. On one side
of the railroad is a large ravine and
the other side is a dense wood. The
men had hidden among the trees. 1t
was from this point that all of them
made their appearance when the train
came to a stop.
Almost before the train had reached
the obstruction the masked band had
taken up their position at practically
every entrance to the cars. When the
passengers begun pouring from the
cars there was a few sharp cries from
the men TO get back, and when a num-
Der of excited passengers failed to
take this advice the bandits opened
fire. They shot along the sides of the
cas-. level with the windows, and this
effectively put an end to the curiosity
OF the passengers. A number of WON
en- tainted and the screams Of others
caused much confusion.

fall Of BaIlinger.

Washington, ID. c. - The famous
Cunningham Alaskan coal land claims,
through which it has been alleged that
the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate had
planned to extend their vast interests
in Alaska and to control n of the
most valuable coal fields in the world,
were today finally ~disallowed by the
department of the interior.
Secretary of Interior Walter Fisher,
having approved the departments de-
c~isions, as handed down by Fred Den
nett, commissioner of the lane office,
the last door is believed to have been
closed to the Cunningham claimants.
The attorneys have threatened an ap-
peal to the United States supreme
court, but such an appeal can be based
only on some point Of law involved
and not on tho findings of fact as an
nounced by the department.
The Cunningham claims have been
In the public eye constantly for more
than two years past. They brought
about the Baliinger-Pinchot investiga-
ton by congress and the dismissal
from the public service of Chief For
ester Clifford Pinchot, Louis r. CLAWS,
a chief of field division in the land
office, and several minor officials.
Both Messrs. Pinchot and CLAWS were
dismissed for characterization incident
to their attacks on former Secretary
Ballinger, who they claimed was fav-
orably disposed toward the claims.
In announcing the decision today,
Secretary Fisher, who succeeded Mr..
Ballinger in March last, declared that
new coal land laws are needed in Alas
ka if that territory is to be developed
properly. In a statement the secre-
tary said: D.

Decision Is Final.

This is a final decision of the Gun
ningham claims so far as the depart,
ment of the interior is concerned. Amy
further proceedings will be merely
formal for the purpose of perfecting
the record in cas- the claimants think
there are questions of law which they
desire TO present to the courts. 1t is
my understanding that 1t is conceded
that the findings upon the facts by
the department are conclusive.
1T is the intention of the depart
ment to proceed at once to a final de-.
termination Of all the remaining Alas
kan coal claims so far as this can pro-
perly be done. denying those that
should be denied and granting those
that should be granted as rapidly as
possible.
II do not believe the present laws
applicable to coal lands in Alaska are
wise or practicable laws. Neverthe.
less, their provisions must be enforced,
first, because they are the law and,
second, because they afford the only
protection to the public welfare
against the abuses of monopoly and
unrestricted private exploitation. |
sincerely trust that these laws will
be modified at the next session of
congress-, so as to permit the develop
ment of the Alaskan coal fields under
provisions that will more adequately
protect and promote the public inter.
est. If, however, there are claims now
pending, which, under the existing law
are entitled to patent, | see no justin.

as promptly as the department can
be assured that it is in possession of
the facts upon which such action ulti.
mately can be taken"
