WITH REVOLVER AND DYNAMITE.
Lone Bandit Held Up Louisville and
Nashville Train.

New Orleans, Sept. 5.--The lone
bandit who last night held up and
robbed the New York Limited train
on the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, near Micheaud, twelve miles
east Of New Orleans, and was later
felled by a blow over the head by
Engineer Baer, was brought to New
Orleans or a special train from Bay
st. Louis, Miss, this morning and
placed in the Charity Hospital.
The man gave his name as How
ard b.. Edwards, and said his family
lived at Jupiter, Fla. He gave the
police information which is expected
to lead to the early capture of three
other members Of a gang which is
believed to have been responsible for
a series Of sensational train robberies
In this section.
Edwards is in a precarious condi-
tloh II attendants at the hospital
thls morning stated 1t was doubtful
II he would recover from the injuries
inflicted by the engineer.
KObbcr Most Daring.
Following so close on the attempt
ed robbery of the Cincinnati south
ern-bound passenger train on the
same road, at almost the same spot,
the night previous, the work of Ed
wards Is considered most daring.
He is believed to have boarded the
engine Of the New Orleans Limited
last night at Lee station, about three
miles from the point where the
three bandits Tuesday, who had
planned the robbery Of the Cincin-
natl train, held up by mistake a
freight train.
Edwards crawled aboard the en-
l and covered Engineer Baer and
the fireman with two revolvers. He
carried a small valise in which he
had dynamite and nitroglycerine.
The train was stopped and with the
engineer and fireman preceding him
at the point Of a revolver, Edwards
rifled the mail car of all registered
mall and then relieved the male pas
sengers in five Puilmans and a club
car Of their cash. He declined to
take jewelry and did not offer to
modest women. He secured almost
Sl,o0O In cash, then marched the
engineer and fireman back to the
engine and ordered them to proceed.
Engineer Strikes Down Robber.
After riding on the engine for
about twenty-five miles, Engineer
baer caught Edwards off his guard
II struck him a terrific blow on
the head with a brass torch, fractur-
ing the base of the skull. Edwards
hred one shot as he fell, which went
Wild. Engineer Baer proceeded to
rain blows with the torch until he
had the bandit unconscious.
When the train reached Bay st.
Louis, Miss, the robber was taken
OH and placed in charge of the rail
road surgeon until police officers and
detectives from New Orleans arrived
IN a special train. Although Ed
wards was unconscious, at intervals
throughout the night he gave the
police valuable information concern
ing his pals and Inspector Rey-
nolds, of the New Orleans force, to-
DAY said he hoped to make some ar
rests within the next few days.
Edwards stated that he had a bro
ther IN Oklahoma City and another
brother In Meridian, Miss.
Edwards Is a small man. only S
lee . inches in height. and weighs
put 100 pounds. He appears to be
about 30 years of age.

ONCE GAMBLING
KING NOW DYING
Jimmy" Wakely, Manager of John
L. Sullivan in His Palmy
Days, Now Broke.

New York. July Jimmy wakely. one
Of the old-time gambling kings of the
tenderloin, is dying. His suck has been
good and bad.
Wakely is dying broke His bank roll
ran into the hundreds of thousands once.
but few years ago it had grown so
slim that he could not keep his saloon
from being taken. away from him on a
foreclosed mortgage.
He had staked too many of the down
and out who once had been up and in
not to realize the chances he was taking
But. with that curious confidence that so
fate would pass him by-others might be
given the gate, but he would be left
in the center of the ring.
Ten years ago Wakely was better
known. Twenty years ago he was the
best known sporting man in America. He
was the hacker and manager of John L.
Sullivan.
He was in a Turkish bath in Forty
second Street yesterday afternoon when
he was seized with an apoplectic stroke.
He fell to the floor unconscious and was
taken to a private sanatorium at 137
East Sixty-third Street. It is not be-
lieved he can live more than a week.
He Is sixty-five years old. He has
aged rapidly the last few years.
Wakely used to have a large say as
to who should get protection and who
should be raided regularly. His friends
down at 800 Mulberry Street Were always
quick to see that Jimmy never got any
the worst Of the deals In which he
figured.

CHARGES BLEASE
WITH BRIBERY
Atlanta Attorney Makes Serious
Allegations Against Governor
of South Carolina.

Augusta Ga. July 12-Testifying in the
court here to-day before an investigating
committee of the South Carolina Legis-
lature. Thomas B. Fielder. an attorney OF
Atlanta. accused Gov. Cole L. Blease. OF
that State. of having taken brides from
whisky houses which supplied liquor to
the South Carolina dispensaries, brides
for his influence in directing the course
of bills in the legislature, brides for pro-
lection extended to blind tigers" and
bride of 5000 for pardoning Rudolph
RADON, a notorious fence"
Fielder gave names and details and sup
ported his accusations With evidence
gathered by agents of the noted detective,
William J. Burns. Much of the testi-
mony was obtained with dictaphone. Mr..
Burns was present.
He said that in all his thirty years
experience he had never seen anything
equal to the situation in South Carolina,
and that the San Francisco graft scan
dal was infinitesimal in comparison with
the corruption in South Carolina.
The investigation is being held in
Georgia because Mr.. Fielder has been
warned he said. that If he entered
South Carolina he would be assassi-
mated. He said he knew one person,
who was one of Blease's henchmen, who
had been promised money If he would
put Fielder out of the way.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
TO VISIT SEAGIRT
Plan to Attend Formal Notification
of Gov. Wilson of His Nomi-
nation in a Body.

The Democrats of the House are going
in body to Seagirt, n. J.. on August
to attend the formal notification of
Gov. Woodrow Wilson. This was de-
cided yesterday at caucus. and a COM
mitee of three was appointed to engage
special trains and make all necessary
arrangements for the trip. Represent
atives Reilly of Connecticut, Allen Of
Ohio. and Foster of Illinois constitute
the committee
While the question of adjournment
was not discussed in the caucus, the
fact that the Democrats have determin-
ed to attend the notification in a body
Is taken TO mean that the House leaders
realize that Congress will be still in ses-
sion at the time OF Gov. Wilson's noti-
fication
The Democratic caucus was called
primarily to nominate a sergeant-at-
arms to succeed TO the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death of Stokes Jackson.
In the interest of harmony 1t was de-
cided to defer this question until next
Wednesday. Charles F. Riddell. OF In
diana, cashier in the sergeant-at-arms'
office, and W. II. Ryan. of Buffalo, n.
Y, former Representative, are active
candidates for the Office. The postpone
meDt of the nomination yesterday was
regarded as favorable to Ryan. as New
York members objected Ito action then
on the grounds that many of the mem
bers were out of the city.

GROCER KATE STILL
AMONG THE MISSING
All Clews to His Whereabouts Sc.
cured by Police Prove to
Be Worthless.

Failure of another clew in the case
OF Max H. Katz, a grocer, of 100 d
Street Northeast, who has not been seen
or heard of by any of his kinsmen or
friends for nearly a week. left the mys-
terry Of his disappearance unchanged last
night.
The new clew which failed was a re-
port that he had been seen in Baltimore.
The statement that Katz had been seen
in that city was made circumstant ally.
and II gave members OF the Police De-
partment who have been working on
the case a new hope. But the report
could not be verified. and 1t had to be
put aside with other statements.
Discovery of a seeming incoherent note
by Jacob Katz. father of the missing
man, yesterday corrsborated to an APP
probable degree the theory that young
Katz may have wandered from home
while in a delirium of illness.
The note was found among some pa
pers in a basket which katz used last
Monday, the last day he was seen by his
wife or any OF his kinsmen. The note
was as follows:
Loving father and mother-I have
your life. Ny life. | was your life"
No name was signed to the epistle,
which is believed to have been written,
however, by Katz on last Monday or
last Sunday.
The statement Of Dennie Borden that
he had seen KATE in a restaurant near
Union Station preparing to go to New
York is discredited by most Of Katz's
relatives. The clothing of Katz as de-
scribed by Borden is very dissimilar TO
that worn by the missing man when
he left home.
Katz was seen in Kingan & Co.'S
store Monday morning. Borden says
he saw Katz Tuesday morning. Katzs
relatives do not believe. they said last
night. that he bought new clothing be-
tween the time he left home and the
time Borden claims to have seen him.
