STORY OF TRAIN
ROBBERS TOLD BY
4. DAVID TR0UsDALf
EXPRESS MESSENGER TELLS
HOW HE GOT HOLD UP
MEN.
AN ABUNDANCE OF AMMUNITION
Rough Use by Bandits Stirred Him to
Action With Fatal Results-Both
Men Identified, One an Escaped
Criminal.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Mar. 15.-
2'he robbers who attempted to hold
up the Southern Pacific train near
Sandcrson yesterday have been iden-
titled as Ed WEIGH, an escaped con-
inal, and man named Fitzpatrick, Of
wnom little Is known. A pack sad
de with 800 rounds Of ammunition
for revolvers and Winchesters was
found on the pack horse in the bandit
outfit.
David A. Trousdale gave this &C.
count of the hold up and attempted
robbery:
"Tue first intimation that I had
something was wrong was when the
porter knocked on the door Of my
car and announced that was wanted
outside. When I stepped to the door
was covered with a Winchester.
Reagan, my helper, and Banks, the
mail clerk, were forced to stand by
and watch the robber collect the seal
ca express packages. These were
taken to the mail car, where a bag
containing registered packages was
split open and the express packages
placed inside.
The robber used me very roughly,
striking me frequently with his Win

ing me to get move on That stir
red my desire for revenge. BY feign-
ing indifference, persuaded the rob-
Der to go back into the express car,
telling him that he had missed a valu-
able package. 1t was my purpose to
lead him into a trap.
There's the most valuable pack
age in the car said. indicating a
package with my foot. The robber
bent over to get it, and l struck him a
hard blow on the back of the head
with an ice mallet, killing him, be-
lieve, on the instant.
From his body l took two six
shooters. gave one to Banks and
tie other to Reagan. We concealed
ourselves in one end of the express
car and waited. When about an hour
mad passed l fired the Winchester,
thinking it was strategy to alarm the
otner robbers, If there were any. In
a few minutes man entered the 9TH
er end OF the car, crawling STEALTH
ly behind some trunks. He thrust
his head from behind a trunk, and

was still, and we dared not move In
about another hour I gave the signal
to the engineer to back up. That's
the whole story, so far as l know, ex-
cept that when we got to Sanderson

session, and told of my experience"
When he reached San Antonio to-
day Mr. Trousdale was utterly worn
out both from excitement and loss

DISC Before PIswlng

Plow the land as early as
possible. To make it still bet
ter disc the land two or three
weeks before blowing says w.
C. Palmer of the agricultural
college. This discing makes a
better seed bed, as the stubble
is mixed with the soil. The
discing also buries weed seed
and grain. which makes them
germinate and the blowing
kills them. Early fall blowing
will, as rule, make better
crop than spring blowing and
especially so if the land was
disced first. Then again, there
is too little time in the spring
to do the blowing then.

Judge Riddle Friday delivered
an opinion in the District Court in
Denver to the effect that the mi
tiative and referendum constitution.
al amendment was not properly en-
acted at the last election. He di-
reefs the secretary of state to re-
submit it at the coming election.
His decision If sustained by the
supreme court means that all of
the initiated and referred bills
that are now in the secretary of
states office awaiting advertising
and submission to the people can
not be submitted at coming cleo
ton and for that matter cannot
be submitted at a later election I'M
less petitions submitting them are
recirculated. The judge holds that
the provisions of the constitution in
relation to the publishing of pro-
posed amendment in the session
laws were not followed. The su-
preme court is in vacation and 1t
Is very doubtful If a decision can
be reached in tirhe for the pro-
posed laws to be printed according
to constitutional regulations.

1t has just been discovered that
some one jokered that section of
the primary law which provides for
the filing of primary expense ac-
counts. Under the law as it
reads the account cannot be filed
until ten days after the primary
election and the candidates can
take as much more time as they
desire for filing their expense &C
count. one hundred years If they
want to. Those who really wanted
a good primary law evidently intent
ed to have it read that the exx-
pense account must be filed within
ten days after the election. BY
a change of "a comma and another
change of two words the entire
meaning of the bill was reversed.
incidentally. that section which
provides what constitutes a resi-
dence for voting under the primary
law is so ''bawled up" that attor-
neys differ as to whether the voter
should have lived in the state nine

primary.

State Capital Notes

Republicans should remember
that a complete party organization
must be elected at the primaries
that are to be held September 10.
The old manner of selecting pre-
cinct. county and state party Off
Gals is done away with and new
order installed. Under the new pri-
mary law a precinct committeeman
and committeewoman is elected by
the members of the party in each
precinct. These officials constitute
the county central committee. Later
they meet with the county candi-
dates and elect a county committee
man, committeewOman. and the
county cOmmitteewOman is the
county vice chairman. The various
county committeeman and county
cOmmitteewoman constitute the
state central committee and still
later they meet with the state and
Legislative candidates and the hold
over senators belonging to their
respec ". patty and elect a state
chairman and state secI etary. 1t
is not mandatory that the county
chairman and vice chairman ana
secretary be selected from the mem-
bers OF the county central commit
tee. Under these circumstances it
behoov'.s every republican to attend
the primaries and assist in the
selection OF his precinct committee
man and cOmmitteewoman. Ii the
party control is secured after every
Republican has participated in the
primaries no one can object. ON
the other hand ii some Republican
tails to participate he has no right
to object If the future organization
Of the party does not suit his views.

LATE AUTOMOBILE
SHOWS HAVE BEEN
HELP TO INDUSTRY
All Records for Attendance
and Exhibits Have
Been Broken.
BY HARRY WARD.

The automobile shows that have been
held since January !, beginning with the
big Madison Square Garden exhibition
have had remarkably stimulating eff
feet on the automobile industry. Every
year these shows become larger and bet
ter. All records for attendance and
number OF exhibits were broken at the
two national shows in New York and
Chicago. and the local shows held in a
dozen cities since the opening of the
year have likewise established new
records.
While Washington is the only city Of
Importance in the country that will not
have a motor car show this year, the
attention of the motorists and dealers is
centered on the big exhibition which
opens tomorrow in Baltimore. The final
preparations for this show were COM
pleted today, and when the doors of
the Fifth Regiment ArmoTy are opened
tomorrow night the motorists will find
one of the largest and most complete
displays in automobiles and accessories
ever exhibited in this section of the
country.
The show will be held under the Joint
auspices of the Automobile Club of
Maryland and the Baltimore Automo-
bile Dealers Association. Governor
GoldsborOugh and his stan will attend
the show one night during the week
and many other notablcs will embrace
the opportunity to look over the newest
things in motorCarS and supplies. Mo
florists and dealers from this city will
be the guests of honor Wednesday,
that day having been set aside for the
motoring fraternity of Washington.

Should Reflect Well on the
Four Members of
Relay Team.

If the Georgetown relay team wins its
annual race from Virginia at Convcn-
ton on March 2 it will be one of the
most remarkable achievements in the
track annals of the Blue and Gray and
high tribute to the moral stamina
and physical fitness of the four men
who are chosen to represent the unlver-
sity across Rock creek.
When the trials for the team to go to
Boston were held, two weeks ago, 1t
was thought the material was good
enough to guarantee a great quartet,
but since that time the team has been
twice beaten. 1t was conceded that
Holy Cross had band of athletes who
would be dangerous and there was not
particular regret over that defeat, but
at Baltimore on Saturday afternoon the
team had an opportunity to redeem it
self. once more it lost to rival which
incidentally cannot compare in athletic
prestige to the college which won the
victory at Boston.
The solution of the whole situation
appears to be the absence of any sys-
tenn of preparation. Since Ihc opening
of the practice season no less than four
different men have been trying to toll
49,
has simply been decentralization and al .
sence of the natural improvement that
should be expected.
Since Coach Gish assumed Ch"rge
there has been better ordcr, but it nov
appears doubtful If tic men can he
brought around during the next two
weeks. Richmond had gO'd, but not
a great team o. Saturday evening. and.
while the Georgetown mon fought it out
inch b. inch, they found lhcms Gives

IN better shape What made the defeat
even worse VS. the fact that Richmond

Martin, the form," captain ut Char

dition of the team which downed
Georgetown.
Had all of the members Of the George
town team remained out of the indi-
\Idual events, the relay might have
been won, but there is little satisfaction
in these claims.
While the relay was lost to a COM
paratively unknown opponent, George
town had no little consolation In cap
