TRAIN R0BBERIEs.
Two Glasses OF Criminals Who Prey
on Railroad Trains-The Law DIS
arms the Citizen.

New Orleans picayune: From time
to time we hear of the holding up
and plundering Of railroad trains.
There was one of these robberles
on the Illinois Central railroad a
short distance south of Memphis,
some time before daylight Friday
morning, and up to the present
writing nobody had been caught
who could be charged with the
crime.
There are two classes Of criminals
who prev on the railroad trains.
One is made up of highWaymen VINO
go through the cars robbing the
passengers. The other is composed
Of skilled safe-breakers who blow
The receptacle containing money and
get away with their contents and,
in addition, ritling the mails Of the
registered packages, but seldom, II
ever, interfering with the passen-
gers.
They were robbers of the yegg-
man or safe-blowing class that
robbed the Illinois Central train on
Friday morning, getting away, it IS
believed, with large amounts or
money. These robbers sometimes, if
not always, have information that
large sums of money are aboard and
their arrangements are usually
made to get away, after holding up
The train, in an automobile, thereby
leaving no trace for dogs and es-
Gaping out Of reach of detection
from any source. The idea that men
who know enough to hold up trains,
disconnecting the express and cars
from the balance Of the train and
successfully to blow the safes
should depend upon escaping or
foot through the sWamps, loaded
with money, is too absurd to be en-
/ tertained. These fellows doubtless
have an automobile awaiting them
while they blow the safe, and they
have in all possibility gotten faT
4 from the scene of their crime.
The various States Of the Union
make laws which disarm the decen,
citizens but arm all the rascals, and
Therefore the robbers have every
| advantage when they hold up 9
train Of passengers on the railroad
or decent citizen on the street.
| AS for the railroads, they appear
/ to have no system for protecting
i the treasure intrusted to them, anc
zIthey rest on the theory that where
There has been a robbery on par
tieular road, the next will be on
some other route, and so the roac
/ previously robbed will have i'm.
| munity for some time to come
There is no other safeguard.

The Red Flannel Petticoat.

We see that an Arkansas herine
tagged train with her sunbonnet
and saved it from disastrous
wreck, therefore we are tempted to
ask, what has become Of the red
flannel petticoat that used to figure
in the same old rusty newspaper
story for SO many years?-New Or
leans States.
The answer is easy, just as easy
as rolling off 4 log. Tight skirts at
the hips and scarcely movable space
at the bottom Of the said garment.

an athlete gave false information he
would he expelled from the uniVer-

Every candidate for the Yale nine

playing.

WATER SPORTS
TO Be CHANGED
College Swimming Competition
0pen to All Schools

New York, May 27.-A number of
important changes in the conduct III
swimming meets and in the rules of
water polo probably will be made at
the next meeting of the intercollegiate
Swimming league, as a result of dcci
sions made by the executive commit
tee of the league, of which &. ID. Tru~
bcnbach of Columbia is chairman. Tn"
executive committees recommenda-
tons are almost certain to he adopted,
The first proposition is To open the
annual individual intercollegiate
championship meet to all college
swimmers, whether members of the
league or not. I'm the past only Penn
sylyania, Vale. Cornell Princeton. Col
umbia and the College of the city Of
New York the six members of the
league. have been allowed to entcr.
Another recommendation calls for a
junior meet open only 10 colleges not
in the league.
Doing away with the plunge for dis
lance in all intercollegiate events AMI
substituting "a 100 yard backstrokc
swim is another recommendation The
committee also proposes to do away
with the outdoor meet. This event was
not held last year because many oI
the college swimmers were taking
part in the olympic games.
radical change proposed in the
water polo rules is To give the bali q
the goal tender of the side scored
against when a goal has been made
The present rules call for throwing IN,
bail into the middle of the tank after
each goal which gives "A big adNantag,
To the side with fast men who can get
down the tank quickly. Dividing the
same into four periods of five minutes
Is another suggestion. At present there
are two eight minute periods.
