deliberately. Covering the engineer and fireman with their revolvers, they ordered them from the cab. J. A. Dolan, the conductor, leaped from a coach and was lined up beside the en. ginemen. A porter also fell a victim to his curiosity and was made to stand beside the conductor.
 While one robber held the line of employees, the other two uncoupled the engine, baggage and express car from the coaches and forced the train' men into the cab and ordered the en- gineer to open the throttle. The en' zine, pulling the two cars, shot across the burning bridge. What remained of the structure fell into the water short time after the cars had passed.
 Robbers Escape to the Woods.
 Half a mile on the other side of the bridge the bandits ordered the en- gineer to stop. The safe in the ex- press car was dynamited and the rob- bers fled to the woods with their plunder
 Posses were sent immediately from Crowder and Eufaula. Other pursuers started an hour later on special trains from McAlester and Muskogee.
 According to the descriptions given, each of the bandits was less than 25 years old.

New York. Oct. 30.-That the braverv of the sailor3 and marines of the United States navy was more than lived up to in the recent Nica- raguan trouble was made plain here bv Second Lieut.. George w. Martin of Somerville, Mass.
 Lieut. Martin is en route hcme, in- yalided with two Nicaraguan rebel hullets in his body, but he modestly refused to discuss this fact. He did, however, tell a thrilling story of the work of the marines and blueiackets, who, outnumbered 10 to l, he said, walked through the fire of machine guns and rifles that raked them from in front and both sides, and as calmly as though they were eating breakfast pumped lead into the enemy.
 One company of sailors landed garbed in the tropical uniform of white duck was ordered to the rear by Maj. Butler because their white togs presented a glistening mark for the rife fire of the enemy. Instead of going back, they rolled down a muddy hillside until their uniforms were com pletely caked with clay, and then, when the order to charge came, they sprinted far in advance of the re- mainder of the battalion.
 Rebels Use Barbed Wire.
 The rebels, entrenched at the top of a mountain that commanded the road for several miles, had barred the main road, and all of the trails were criss- crossed with barbed wire. There were several different barricades of this na- ture, but the marines and sailors rushed the barriers. and when their wire clippers proved not to be heavy

MIR. ROOSEVELT DODGES SKILLFULLY

Miss Maud Malone, who insisted up- on an explanation of MT. Roosevelt's position on the suffrage question dis played a tenacity of purpose worthy of the ColonePs own.
 Once more the colonel displayed his Eingular'y happy faculty for evading unpleasant problems.
 Nothing could seem fairer than his answer: 'T want women to vote if they want to vote. am willing to have the question submitted to wo- men for decision"
 There are a number of ways of lodging public questions. One pop ular way is to propose some unheard of and preposterous solution.
 It is not likely that any body of men enjoying the franchise and en- trusted with the powers of govern ment will turn over the decision of a public question to persons without the franchise. There is no instance with which we are familiar where such q things has been done. It is not as easy .o get the grant of woman suffrage sirect as it would be to get a refer

THE JUNIOR GERMAN ALLIANCE

The Bridgeport Branch of the Ma ional German-American Alliance considers the installation of a junior order. in which the youth of German descent will be trained in German culture. and fitted to continue ths 3erman societies which their parents have founded and sustained.
 There is little or no immigration from Germany to this country, and only the children of Germans who are already on the soil can continue the work that has been done.
 . Every American ought to be inter ested in knowing why the Germans have ceased to come to the United States, and why the country is nc longer benefited by fresh arrivals oi this rich and useful blood.
 It is because the German people have made Germany such a good place to live in that most Germans do not desire to live anywhere else. The hundreds of thousands of Ger. mans who immigrated to this country . few years ago did so because there was more opportunity on this soil.
 But now the conditions of livins have been so improved in the father land that Germans would rather stay there than come here.
 It would take long time to re- count what has been done over there to ,diffuse prosperity and make life safer and more certain for the com. mon people.

PACKERS ACQUITTED

The acquittal of the Chicago pack CTS will not increase confidence in the Sherman law as a criminal statute. The action against the pack CTS was the first important effort to enforce the criminal clause of the law. The complete failure which has resulted may be due to the circum- stance that the governments case was strong within the period covered by the statute of limitations and weak outside of that period.
 The evidence certainly shows that up to 1903 the packers met at each others homes to fix prices, and that in 1903 the National Packing Com pany was formed for the same pur- pose.
 It may be difficult to get juries who will find criminal guilt in the class of offenses charged in this case.

endum to women. The former would be easier because there is abundant precedent for it, and none for the latter method.
 The contention is that the ballot belongs by right to every woman who wants it and is capable of using it.
 Under this view it would be as req sonable to make referendum to wo- men to see if other women should own carpet sweepers, or put the wash ing out.
 Whatsoever things are right for wo- men to have they should not be de- nied by others just because those oth- CTS do not want the same things. Mrs. Jones wants to vote. Mrs. Smith does not want to vote. Let Mrs. Jones go to the ballot box, and Mrs. Smith stay at home. That is the way Jones and Smith settle it. There are any number of men who do not want to vote. But these men have no objection to other men yot- ing. Why should they have? As we'll might men who smoke pipes make a law that nobody shall smoke cigars.

few self respecting and independent men who care to hold office in the face of hostile superiors. especially when the latter are politicians sadly put to it to find places promised to a host of political assistants.
 Mayor Wilson believes that "to the victor belong the spoils." His admin istration is shoveling out Democrats as it goes along, excepting that ap- parently a few insignificant places have been reserved to pacify here and there somebody whose disloyalty has been deemed worth a petty reward.
 This will go down in history as the coldest winter Bridgeport Democrats have ever known.

IL is, alas, too true. that money is used in Connecticut to influence leg blation. Everybody knows that there b a lobby at Hartford. and nearly everybody knows how the lobby ob- tains its undeniable influence over a certain class of legislators. Every body knows that some of the lead Ing members of the lobby are in par ty politics. and occupy high positions in party counsels. In fact the state is dominated by such men. The Cou- rant knows these men, supports them. plays politics with them and sleeps in the same political bed with them.
 It is also true that under the Con- necticut system bills are offered in the General Assembly which would be un- constitutional as laws, that such bills are opposed by those who believe them unconstitutional, and sometimes upon the pretense that they are unconsti- tutional by those who do not want them to pass.
 Such legislation was the bill relat- inE to bucket shops.
 Also the bill relating to a public utilities commission.
 Also the bill relating to workmen's compensation.
 The Courant. if we remember. had very strong convictions about the constitutionality of the public utili- ties bill.
 Notoriously there was lobby against that bill and the lobby had money to spend.
 Was there any connection between that lobby. that money, and the Cou- rants position?
 We are sure there was not. The

tinue to be drawn, it would not be
 surprising if there were an imrnigra-
 ton from the United States to Ger
 many larger than the immigration
 from the United States to Canada. But happily remedies are already
 beginning to be applied. The coun- try is full of promise that the forces
 which have been making life harder
 for almost everybody will be defeat
 ed, and influences making for the
 common veal substituted in their places.
 Much good will come to this coun- try from a mingling with German cul- ture, which has its roots in the lib-
 critics of the distant past. and makes
 for the preservation of liberty into the unforeseen future.
 | If the Junior Alliance succeeds in
 putting into the schools of the United States the wholesome German ideas
 about healthy bodies being necessary to healthy minds it will by that one
 thing have Justified it's existence. America owes such physical culture as it has to the Germans. Not until we adopt into the public schools a ,, system which has as much care for the body as it has for the mind will our education furnish the citizens it is capable of furnishing.
 We are sure that the Junior AL
 liance will do its part to make such conditions in the United States as will make every German who is here de- sire to stay here and have his chil- dren and his grandchildren, to remot- est generations, stay here.

THE COURANT'S FLIMSY CASE

Courant is an honest newspaper. Ii may be sometimes mistaken. and sometimes it may not have the cour- age to do right. but it doesn't take money for its views.
 Yet the relation of The Courant, the lobby and the money the lobby had to the public utilities bill is pre- cisely the same as the relation indi- cated in The Courant between Sen ator Spellacy, the bucket shop bill and the alleged agreement between the bucket shop men and a Hartford at- torney. There is no relation whatever.
 The evidence to show that The Courant had an understanding with the lobby is exactly the same evidence that The >Courant uses in an effort to show that there was collision be- tween Senator Spellacy and the Lob by.
 He opposed a bill as unconstitution al.
 So did The Courant.
 A lobby opposed the bill he op- posed.
 A lobby opposed the bill The Cou- rant opposed.
 Do those facts prove Senator Spell lacy untrue to his public trust?
 Then those facts prove The Courant untrue to its public trust.
 Then every legislator who voted to oppose a bill which was also op- posed by lobby can be proved un- true to his trust.
 A jury of Cossacks wouldn't find Persian criminal guilty of breach of the peace upon the evidence adduced by The Courant in its mud throwing campaign against the Democratic candidate for Mayor of Hartford.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.---No more fuel
oil will be sold by the Standard Oil
Co., after December l, according to
an announcement in the current issue
of the Iron Trade Review. The result
of this action, according to the publ
cation, will be an increase of so per-
cent in several of the products of the
manufactures. The reason for stop
ping the sale Of unrefined oil for fuel
was reached after an investigation
showed far greater profit in selling
the same product after 1t is refined.
In this city millions Of gallons OF
oil are burned annually in big factor
les. The international Harvester
plants use 100000 barrels of unre-
fined oil year.
Notices were received here that a
large Milwaukee steel manufacturing
concern would advance the price of
it's steel castings an average of $12 3
ton, as soon as the new Standard Oil
rule was put into effect. 1t was said
that there are enough independent
companies to supply the big demand
for fuel oil, and that thousands OF
factories over the country would be
compelled to buy new and expensive
equipment to replace their oil burning
apparatus. Manufacturers of illum'
mating gas in nearly every city in
the country will be affected, it was
said, because of Importance in gas
