STEPHEN B. ELKINS.
United States Senator from West Virqinia.

he lived for number of years, becom.
ing in succession attorney general,
United States district attorney, terri
torial senator and delegate in congress
from that territory.
While serving as delegate in con-
gress Mr.. Elkins married the eldest
daughter Of Henry Gassaway Davis,
then senator from West Virginia.
Soon after his marriage he established
his home in that state. and there he
built up great fortune, largely thru
the development of the resources Of
the state. He came into possession Of
extensive coal and timber areas and
was most active in putting their prod
ucts on the market. He also assisted
In building many railroads in and out
Of the state.
The Republican party of West Vir-
ginia owes much to Mr.. Elkins. He
was chairman Of the Republican ma
tional committee which elected Ben1a.
min Harrison to the presidency, and
became Mr.. Harrison's secretary Of
war. His first election to the senate
took place in 1895.
While in Missouri Senator Elkins as
school teacher had for pupils, Jim
and Cole Younger, who afterwards be-
came notorious as the most daring of
the band of outlaws led by the James
brothers. They later rescued him
from squad of Confederates, who
were about to hang the future senator
as spy.
When, after the close of the war,
the Youngers were captured and sent
to prison on life sentence for rob.
bling bank in Minnesota, Mr.. Elkins
recalled their kindness to him. He
exerted his influence to procure their
release and ultimately succeeded.
Senator Elkins' friends believe that
the recent publicity connecting the
name Of his daughter, Miss Katherine
Elkins, with that of the duke of the
Abruzzi, was source of much embar
rassment to him, but if such was the
case, he never indicated it by his man.

LIFE OF ONE NEGRO PORTER Is
TAKEN AND ANOTHER IS
SHOT. DOWN.
OVERLAND LIMITED ON THE S. P.
One Hundred Passengers Robbed by
Two Masked Men Near
ogdon:-Posse In
Pursuit.

Ogden, Jan. a. Southern Pacific
train No. 1, the Overland Limited,
westbound, was held up by two masked
bandits at Reese, nine miles west Of
Ogden. One negro porter was shot
and instantly killed and another port
er was mortally wounded. A passen-
ger was slightly wounded.
One hundred passengers on the train
were relieved of their valuables. The
robbers did not attempt to enter the
express car, but devoted their entire
attention to the Pullmans, where they
made rich haul among the California
bound passengers, holding the train
for more than an hour. The train pro-
ceeded westward. No passenger e.
capped the robbers and the 'trainmen
also lost their money and jewelry.
The sheriff and police department
were Immediately notified and posses
left the city for the scene Of the hold
up in automobiles and on a special
train. Posses from the nearby towns
are working toward Reese.
Red Light Stops Train.
Two masked men stopped the train
at the little watering station by throw
Ing the red light on the signal stand
toward the approaching locomotive.
AS it came to a standstill, the bandits
covered the engineer and fireman with
their revolvers and held them until
the conductor ran up to investigate
the delay. He. too, was placed under
guard. One of the robbers left the
trainmen in charge Of his companion
and started through the train from
the forward end. He encountered two
porters on his way and when they dis.
regarded his commands he shot one
down and wounded the other. A cur.
lous passenger also was wounded, It
Is said. The shots aroused the o.
cupants Of the cars and when the
bandit appeared with an open sack
and a menacing pistol the passengers
were perfectly willing to contribute
to his collection. He went through
the entire train. stopping at every
berth and making deliberate search.
After robbing the two girls. the
daughters of Bishop Wayment Of the
Mormon church at Warren, the high
waymen drove toward the city.
This is the second train robbery o.
curing within 10 miles of Ogden in
the last six months. On June ~, 1910,
at midnight, an Oregon Short Line
train was held up and robbed at Five
Points crossing, just north of Ogden.
The robbers went through the smok-
Ing car and chair car, but were fright
ened away before searching the Pull
mans. In both cases tall and short
built men conducted the hold-ups, in
much the same manner.
A posse of officers heavily armed
have trailed the two bandits to point
four miles beyond the scene Of the
holdup. They are believed to be
headed toward this city.
The money loss among the passen-
gers was from $4,000 to $4,000.

shouting defiance to the laws Of Eng.

Subsequent investigation convinced
the police that the burglars were

with which to further anarchistic
propaganda
Their supposed headquarters were
found and there the police discovered
bombs and other instruments Of VIC

was chairman Of the important COM

the head Of this great committee he
had charge Of the Hepburn rate regu-
lation bill Of 1907 and of the admins.
tration bill Of 1910. A railroad build
er and owner himself, Mr.. Elkins had
intimate knowledge OF the questions
affected by this legislation.
He was the champion of the bill Of
1910 and as such fought for its pas
sage for many months.
Mr.. Elkins was as popular on the
Democratic as on the Republican side
of the senate chamber. Nor could he
be persuaded to deny to any one an
opportunity to be heard, no .matter
how great the delay or inconvenience
caused by granting all demands for
time. Hence, when, after the passage
of the bill, the late Senator Dolliver,
who had been one Of the chief critics
of the measure, warmly. Nomplimented
Mr.. Elkins, there. was universal ap-
prevail of his commendatory remarks.
Mr.. Elkins took special interest
in legislation which dealt with the
tariff, the railroad regulation and the
development of the natural waterways.
He was one OF the first movers for
. an investigation into the high cost Of
living, which was inaugurated during
the second session of the sixty first
congress.
Same Achievements.
Among the achievements standing
to Senator Elkins' credit is the pas
sage of the Elkins antitrust bill soon
after he entered the senate, legislation
providing for many important improve
ments Of the Ohio, Kanawha and Big
Sandy rivers; innumerable amend
ments to the railroad bills of 1907 and
1910 and many notifications Of the
tariff. He it was who first suggested
