ROB TRAIN OF $4,000.
iron Mountain Passengers Terrorized
by Outlaws.

Coffeyville, Kan. - Federal Off
GERS have joined in the search for
the four masked men who blew up
with nitro-glycerin and robbed the
express car safe of north-bound pas
senger train No. 104 of the st. Louis,
Iron Mountain & Southern railroad on
a lonely prairie, IL miles south OF
here 1t was discovered that several
packages of registered mail had been
stolen.
All of the 200 passengers remained
in the coaches and Pullman, too terri
fed by frequent rifle shots and explo-
sions of nitro-glycerin even to peep
out, and members of the crew lay,
faces down, at the side Of the right OF
way, guarded by one Of the robbers.
After what appeared to the victims
an endless period, the lights of two
motor cars were seen to approach. A
moment later the rifle shooting
ceased. A quarter of an hour later,
when the trainmen got to their feet,
the motor cars and the robbers were
gone. 1t is believed they took money
and other valuables to the amount OF
$4,000. No passenger was robbed.

PLAN TO GO AFTER
men HIGHER UP
New Developments in Carnegie
Trust Company.
LEWIS BEFORE GRAND JURY
Former Counsel of Concern Gives Inn
portant Testimony - Prominent
Men Interested in Case of
Nationwide Interest.

New York - Additional indict-
ments against high officials OF
the Carnegie Trust company are
looked for as a result of the testl-
mony given before the grand jury by
Liston L. Lewis, former counsel for
the trust company.
District Attorney Whitman, 1t is
said, possesses conclusive evidence
that the executive committee of the
trust company, over which Joseph B.
Reichmann presided as president,
knowingly made false report of the
company's assets on August 81, 1910,
and mutiliated the minutes of meet
ing held August 2S in order to con-
form to suggestions Of the state
banking department.
Both the original minutes and the
substituted minutes are in existence
and it will be possible to produce
them in the prosecution of the Off
Gals responsible for the transaction.
Another interesting feature Of the
developments was the supported
statement that Samuel Untermeyer,
the well-known corporation lawyer,
has become the attorney for the COM
bination represented by Charles H.
Hyde, Mayor Gaynor's city chamber
lain; William j. Cummins, the mas
ter promoter Of the trust company,
and Joseph B. Reichmann, its former
president.
ToSaDh q Robin tha confessed
bank wrecker, appeared before the
grand Jury as it's first witness and
his testimony, which occupied two
hours, is believed to have been con-
fined entirely to facts which surround
the loan Of $4,000 made to the Car
negie Trust company by Robins
Northern bank to tide the trust COM
pany over the August examination by
the state banking department.

GOOD ROADS PASS IN SENATE
Measure Providing Highway Cor,c
mission and State Aid to Towns
Goes Through Upper House.

Madison.-With practically no OPP
position the senate passed the first
of the big bills to be acted upon at
this session-the Donald good roads
bill, carrying an appropriation of
$350,000 a year for the Improvement
of the public highways in Wisconsin,
which went through by a vote of &c
to 2.
The bill as passed by the senate,
gives state aid to every county that
makes expenditures for highway i'm
provement along lines laid down by
a commission of experts. This means
that if several towns in a county
decide to spend a specified aggregate
sum in improving highways, the state
will lend a helding hand with the
use of money and the giving of the
best scientific advice available. The
amount of state aid is to be in pro-
portion to the amount raised by taxa
ton in the several counties for i'm
provement of roads. The state tax
is to be Is of a mill and for every "a
of mill raised by the county, the
state is to add 1s of mill.

Stern WAGE BILL
HITS EMPLOYERS
IMPORTANT MEASURE PROVIDES
a MINIMUM COMPENSATION
FOR ALL INDUSTRIES.
IS FAR REACHING IN EFFECT
Employers Failing to Pay Living
Wage Made Subjectto Fine and I'M
prisonment-Wo License Up
. pressive" Employment.

Madison. Stern minimum
wage bill, which has almost been lost
sight of in the rush of other big meas"
ures. is one of the most important
that has been introduced in the legls-
lature. 1t is more far reaching than
any bill that has been or Will oe
passed, yet it has been left almost
unnoticed.
The bill contemplates the fixing OF
minimum rate of wages for every
employee in the state and, after such
wage has been fixed, any employer
will have to pay at least that wage or
be convicted of a misdemeanor ana
be subject to a fine of from $40 to
$50 for each violation, or be sent
to Jail from ten days to three months.
The term living wage" the bill
says, shall mean such compensation
for labor performed under reasonable
conditions as shall enable employees
to secure for themselves and those
who are or may be reasonably de-
pendent on them, the necessary cem-
forts of life"
1t is further provided that every
employer shall pay ito every en-
ploye in each oppressive employment
at least a living wage"
Oppressive employment" is de-
fined to mean an occupation where
employees are unable to earn a living
wage.
1t is made the duty of the labor
commissioner and he is given the
power to fix the minimum wage in
each employment. He can iRvesti-
gate and hold hearings to determine
the classification OF different en-
Payments. No employer can employ
labor in any Oppressive employ
ment" until he has first secured
license from the labor commissioner.
This license is to be revoked by the
labor commissioner in case he finds
that less than living wages are being
paid by any employer or if such en-
ployer fails to keep a proper register
or refuses to permit it's inspection.
Even if the employer should es-
cape the labor commissioner he is
still liable to the heirs of any en-
ploye.
When employers throughout the
state wake up to the really far reach
ing effects of the bill it is probable
there will be considerable opposition
to it.

CHINA YIELDS MORE IN ANSWER,
Sends Reply to Russia's Ultmatum
Making Additional Concessions.

Peking.-The Chinese reply to
the Russian ultimatum demanding
acquiescence in the demands set
forth in the Russian note Of February
16, was delivered Monday, according
to an announcement by the foreign
board.
1t Is lengthy document, explaining
and justifying the previous answers
of China to the representatives from
st. Petersburg, and there is no doubt
that it makes further concessions.
The Chinese having discovered,
however, that Russia Is reluctant to
move her troops, will recommence
soon, it is believed, her policy of OBJ
struction toward Russians in the in
terror.
Accordingly 1t Is thought that the
whole issue will be only aggravated
by the latest exchanges.

Washington. Magazines and 9th

Postmaster General Hitchcock is

saving to the government in trans

"The plans I have decided upon, !"

they probably will tend to bring
