BANDITS SUCCEED
/ IN MAKING ESCAPE
Now Believed Aggregate Value of
Booty Will Be Over 5000, 000-N0
Expense Will Be Spared in
Running Down the Men.

New Orleans, May i6.-The two
masked bandits who yesterday
morning held UP a fast mail and
express train on the Queen & Cres-
cent and robbed the express cars of
a number of packages containing
valuable property, have success
fully evaded and eluded the sew
eral posses of officers and civilians
who have been making a search for
them, and are still at liberty.
Railroad and express officials and
detectives are Of the opinion that
the two men are professional train
robbers, and that they are the same
men who held up and robbed a Mo-
bile & Ohio train near Corinth,
Miss, in February, last.
Although officials of the Southern
Express Company will not make
any announcement as to the value
of the booty stolen, it is denied that
one package along contained $780,
600. The general opinion is, how
ever that the booty will aggregate
from 100000 to S250,000, making il
one of the biggest and richest hauls
in the history of train robbing.
The county in which the hold-ur
occurred is admirably fitted fol-
such affairs, particularly because il
is comparatively easy for the des-
peradoes to make their escape
through the cparsely settled see
ltions. of which there are many.

Roosevelt

AT the beginning of the nominal
ton campaign two questions were
asked in the Republican party.
One was whether the majority Of
the rank and file Of the party sym
pathized with the so-ealIed reg
ular' faction, or toward the pro-
gressive faction. The other was
whether the rank and file of the
party wishes a denomination to be
conferred on President Taft.
"The figures given above answer
both of these questions decisively
On the other hand there is an en-
phatic judgment that the party of
Abraham Lincoln shall continue to
be an organization for the promo
ton of human rights, rather than
for the protection of property
rights. On the other hand, it is as
serted with equal. positiveness that
a candidate other than President
Taft is desired.
The states that have presiden-
tlal primaries have expressed the
will of the party as a whole. II
other states had similar primaries
they would have furnished merely
cumulative evidence of what is al
ready established. The states that
have spoken are representative
Two of them are on the Pacific
coast, two are of the agricultural
west, two are of the industrial east
one is a New England rural state
and the other is a border state. Il
the plan has been to test the coun-
try's sentiment, hardly a better list
of states could be chosen than thost
that have voted.
1T is clear that the Republican
party wishes to declare itself a pro-
gressive party. The commercial
Republicanism Of Mark Hanna is
repudiated.
1T is also clear that Presidenf
Taft is not to be renominated.'
