SCENE OF GREAT BRILL|ANCY
Members Appear in the White
Throne Room at the Royal
Palace.

(By Special Leased Wire to New MexIcanD
Berlin, Feb. 7.-Emperor William in
person at noon today opened the
Heichstag, the 18th assembled since
the foundation of the German en-
pire. AS is customary, instead of go
ing to the imperial parliament, the en-
perOr called the members to the pal
ace, where he made his speech from
the throne in the great white hall.
The deputies present We're for the most
part in uniform or court dress and
the scene was a brilliant one. The
main note of the speech was the de-
mand for additions to the military and
naval forces which are considered
necessary in the present internation-
al situation.
There was partial disappointment
however, as the emperor merely an
nounced the measures in a general
way and did not give any details.
He said: For the success of our
work of peace at home, and over seas,
the empire must remain powerful
enough to defend at all times its ma
tional honor and its possessions as well
as its just interests in the world. 1t
is therefore my constant duty and
care to maintain and strengthen, both
on land and on sea, the defensive pow
er of the German people, which does
not lack young men capable of bear
ing arms. Measures with this end in
view. are in preparation and will be
submitted to you together with pro-
posals for covering the additional
cost. In helping this important work,
you will be greatly serving the Faith
erland.
In concluding our agreement with
France, we have given new proof Of
our readiness to settle international
difficulties amicably whenever such a
course is consonant with the dignity
and interests of Germany.
Side by side, with the maintenance
OF our alliance with Austria-Hungarv
and Italy my policy has been steadily
directed toward the cultivation of
friendly relations with all the pow
ers on the basis Of mutual respect and
good will.
Trusting in the healthy force OF
the German people, and relying or
Gods gracious assistance, I look with
confidence beyond the struggles of to-
day to the future of the empire.
Il greet you, gentlemen, at the op-
ening of the new session of the i'm
peral parliament in the hope that
your work will be of service to the
nation and to the people"

ATTORNEY BACON SPEAKS OF
PLOTS IN KlMMEl CASE.
Eyes, While Those of Claim
ant Are Blue. .-.

! (By Special Leased Wire TO New MexIcanD
st. Louis. Mo, Feb 7.-OItlinIng to
the Kimmel jury today the first efforts
to establish the identity of the pres
ent claimant as the missing George A.
Kimmel, Attorney Frederick H. Bacon
said: This reveals plot. There
will be much said in this trial about
plots"
Bacon, attorney for the receiver of
the Niles, Michigan, Bank, which is
suing an insurance company for Kim
mel's insurance, referred to Andrew
J. White, the former New York con-
vict, whom the defense contends is
Kimmel, as the claimant"
White, according to Bacon's state
ment to the jury, was first discovered
June %, 1899, eleven months after
Kimmel disappeared in Kansas City.
Bacon called the jurors attention 10
the fact that Kimmel at that time
would have been 80 years Old, and
that White had stated to the prison
authorities he was 50. The claimant
had blue eyes and Kimmel hau dark
brown eyes, according to the attorney.
Differences in the teeth, weight,
height and marks about the body were
also called to the jury's attention. The
trip of White to Niles, Michigan, aft
er his release from prison last Septem-
ber, was narrated. Bacon said White
{; did not recognize any of Kimmels boy
| hood acquaintances.
! Edward O'Bryan, o. the counsel for
the insurance company, then outlined
poets to prove His preliminary state
ment agreed in respect to kimmel
early. history with that already made
to the jury by the plaintiffs attorney.
Andrew j. Hunt, former Omaha
neighbor of Kimmel, was named as
| a new and important Witness by
O'Bryan. Hunt he said, would be
used as a witness for the plaintiff.
Certain witnesses for the plaintiff, ,
said OBryan, take great interest in
keeping kimmel dead"
I'VE also will show that Kimmel
had good reasons for disappearing.
He owed $4,000 on paper that was
about to fall due and all he had in the
way of assets was $4,000 worth OF
stock in his own bank at Arkansas
City, Kansas.
When Kimmell disappeared he
had $ll0 in the bank, but that very
day he borrowed $3,25O on his person
a. note. A short time before that he
had borrowed $500 on a note of the

, Memphis, Tenn. Feb. Five mer
plundered the mail and express cars
o: Rock Island train No. IS, near HUI
/ bert, Ark, early today and made away
with their booty long before an alarm
was spread and the posses could seek
/ their trail.
/ AT noon it was reported money con
signed to a bank in Oklahoma esti-
mated at between $4,000 and $4,000
had been taken from the express car
by the robbers. No arrests were re-
ported.
! The holdup was so cIeverly planned
ard executed with such precision that
none of the train employees could Of
fer resistance and few Of the passen-
gers knew anything had happened un-
til they awoke to find their train stall
! ed
The value of plunder the robbers
got has not been determined. They
ransacked the postal car, blasted the
Wells, Fargo Express Company safe,
! apparently overlooking nothing that
might add to their profit.
This was the second holdup near
! IIulburt within the last four months.
The train left Memphis about mid
night. After it cleared the western
terminus of the Mississippi river
/ bridge, it was boarded by two mask
| ed men. They climbed over the ten
der and covered the engineer with
guns. Then the train was halted. The
| engineer was bound and gagged, then
! kicked off into itch. The fireman
ran the train several miles until told
| to- halt at a camp fire alongside the
track where three other bandits wait
ed. Here the baggage and mail cars
were detached from the passenger
coaches and before any of the train
crew knew what was happening the
locomotive with its light load was
hurrying farther into the country.
While one of the bandits held gun
over the fireman, the remaining foul
! Of the band clambered into the eX
press and mail coaches and covered
the messengers and clerks. The en-
gine, with the two cars, proceeded tt
a point mile east of Hulburt, Ark
Then the robbers ransacked the pOsta
Car. blew open the safe, gathered thei
plunder and fled.
They had obtained a good start al
flight long before an alarm could be
/ given. The telegraph wires into Mem
phis had been cut. The first fntima
| ton of danger to the train came to
employees of the Rock Island Railroad
at the western terminus of the Mis-
sissippi bridge. They heard heavy de-
donations, apparently from a point
far in the country.
The noise was made by explosions
Of ammunition that was destroyed
when the combination baggage and
express car burned after the safe hat
been blasted.
Recalling last November's holdup
the Rock Island employees sent in {
hurry call to the Memphis police.
A posse is searching the country
about HulbIrt and patrols have beer
stationed up and down the Mrssisslp
