Train ROBBERS GET
LARGE sum IN CASH
Kansas City Southern Is Held
- Up in Oklahoma.
Two Safes in the Express and Baggage
Cars Blown and Plundered
Passengers Not
MoIested.

Four men held up Kansas City
Southern passenger train No.
north bound, three and half miles
north of Poteau, Okla, ransack-
ed the mail, blew open the safe in the
express car and escaped into the
wood-covered hills that skirt the rail-
road at that point.
The robbers loot is said to be &c.
900 in cash and ten or twelve register
ed letters. The passengers were not
mOlested.
The men boarded the train as it
stopped at crossing q short distance
from POteau. Crawling over the
tender two of them covered the en-
gineer and firemen with revolyers,
while the others robbed the mail and
express cars.
Wanted Through" Mail.
After wrecking the express car safe
with nitroglycerin, the ROBBERS entered
the mail car and demanded all the
through" mail. Refusing to accept
the clerks word that there was none,
more than a dozen letters that are be-
lieved to contain little of value.
Their work done, the robbers order
ed the trainmen to Ego ahead" COM
handing them not to look back, and
disappeared into the woods.
Posses were organized at Poteau
and went in pursuit of the men. A
bank at Hayenor, Okla, is said to
have had $1,000 on the train.
William West, twelve years DID, who
resides near by saw the men climb
aboard. Two men went into the eX-
press cars. Young West saw the men
who entered the express car brandish
their revolvers and called to passen-
gers that robbers were aboard.
Brought Train 10 Stop.
His cries were disregarded. Two
miles further on a man on the tender
cut the air and brought the train to
a stop. AS he did so ne leaped to
the ground and the bandidts inside the
express car started to work.
l.. H. Kerr, express messenger and
]. L. Williams, baggageman, both of
Kansas City, at the point of revolvers
were driven behind a pile of strunks
and were forced TO turn their backs
while the bandits worked.
There were two safes aboard-a
local safe containing packages to be
delivered along the route, and an
other containing valuables for Kansas
City and points beyond. Both were
wrecked.
No Resistance Offered.
The top of the local safe was
blown through the roof of the car.
During the explosion the mask of one
robber was blown off, Kerr believes
he can identify the man.
Every man on the train was so
frightened that there was no resist
ance to the robbers. Conductor J. B.
Seisk stepped from the train to learn
why it had stopped.
The bandit said: ooh, please, chap
pie, get back or I'll have to blow out
your light"
Seisk plunged into the coach and
locked the door.

ASKS The SENATE
TO ExPEL PENROSE
Colonel Roosevelt an Explosive
Witness before Senators.
Claims that Pennsylvania Senator
Made Admissions Before Com
mittee Which Should Bar
Him from Senate

At Washington, as an explosive
climax to MS bitter denunciation OF
those who sought to attribute improp-
er motives to his seeing John D. Arch
bold, of tbs Standard Oil company,
and III view of his communications
with E. Fl. Hartman, Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt demanded that Sena-
tor Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania
should be thrown out of the United
States senate" He made the demand
to the senate committee which is in
vestigating campaign contributions.
81 hold that he should be thrown
out because of his own admissions be-
fore this committee, that he advised
John D. Archbold to try to purchase
immunity from prosecution by the
government" the co,onel asserted.
Colonel DisIikes Penroae.
"Archbold testified that Bliss tried
to blackmail him." he went on explo.
sively. 81 don't believe that. AS
you have seen by these letters as soon
as there was any rumor about improp-
er contributions, l ordered them re-
turned and | have the assurance of
Cortelyou and Bliss that there were
no such contributions. Loeb had as
surance over the telephone that Stand
ard Oil didn't give anything. Pen
rose says he advised Archbold to sub
NIT to blackmail because of hostility
in certain quarters they could only
obtain the hostility of myself and they
could incur that only if they violated
the law. The purpose of Penrose in
such advice could only have been to
secure the Standard Oil company
against government action If it vio-
lated the law"
Roosevelt Springs Sensation.
Roosevelt sprang another sensa-
ton, when, in voice that vibrated
with emphasis, lie asserted that he
had "never asked Mr.. Hartman, di-
rectly or indirectly for dollar to
help in the 1904 campaign, Or in any
other"
Colonel Roosevelt was on the wit
ness stand all day and was excused
at 1906 p. m.
Sheldon and Morgan Testify.
G. R. Sheldon, ex-treasurer of the Re-
publican national committee, testified
before the Clapp committee that in
1904 the Standard Oil company con-
tributed 100000, J. P. Morgan & Co.,
100000; II. G. Prick, 100000, and
Coouoxo Go,,11 c1On nm
J. P. Morgan testifying of his $780,
900 gift to the Roosevelt campaign
fund, said:
That in October, 1904, he gave $780,
900.
That OH Nov 1 he gave $4,000
more.
That the bulk of the second as we'll
as all the first went to the national
committee.
That 81 had a great deal to do with
Mr.. Cortelyou during the campaign"
That his relations with the elder
Cornelius n. Bliss were very intimate.
That eve were especially interested
in the campaign of 1904"
That he received 10 hint of the
amount desired-trat "they would
have taken anything they could get"
That he understood the $240.000
Hartman fund, III reality was given
to the national, not the New York
state committee
That 100000 was given to the cam
paign func of 1908.
That no gratitude for his gifts was
shown by anyone connected with the
campaign.
