 In Honan the chief winter crops are wheat, barley peas, beans, sweet po tatoes and rapeseed for oil There fol- tow cotton. millet, maize. beans and hemp; while many fruits, berries, nuts, etc, are raised for home use.

BANDITS HAVE
 A BAD H0LD:UP
Kill One Man, Wound Three oth- CTS and Lose the Pay Roll
 After All.

La Sale, Ill.,, May 3l.--Four bandits ambushed officials 0f the Illinois Zinc company, who were bringing a pay roll of S6,0O0 from a bank in this city to the works, and killed one of the officers, wounded three others, but a civil engineer, an employe of the com- pany, succeeded in escaping with the money while the battle was on.
 The ambush was well planned and took place in some heavy timber through which the auto, in which the men were riding, was forced to pass. A large tree had been thrown across the road. forcing the machine to a stand still in place where they were unable to turn and flee. The rob bers opened fire immediately. The fire was returned by those in the car while the civil engineer made hlS getaway Wltn the money ana reached this city and raised the alarm.
 A posse was immediately or ganized and bloOdhOundS have been sent for and it is hoped that the hold-up men will be captured.
 Several men recently discharg- ed from the employ of the com pany and familiar with the meth od of handling the pay roll are suspected.
 The wounded men have been brought to the local hospital and it is expected that they will be able to give information leading to the capture of the men.

AMERICAN LINER
 ON THE ROCKS
Passengers of tho Haverford Arc Transferred to eattIeship--
 No Lives Lost.

Queenstown, Eng, May 31.-- Seven hundred passengers of the wrecked American liner Hav- erford reached this place today on the English battleship Baltic. -Four hundred passengers were taken from the boat by tugs and will be brought here later. The Haverford, of the Ameri- can line, carrying l,lO0 passen- gers and a large crew, ran on the rocks off Cork Head in a thick fog last Thursday and 15 feet of wa ter entered the hold of the ship immediately. Wireless calls for assistance were immediately sent out by the operator and tugs from all directions rushed to the as sistance of the passengers and crew of he stranded vessel. Owing to the fog much dit1i- culty was encountered ill lOcat- ing the vessel. as the captain of the HaverfOrd was uncertain of his location.
 Upon arrival of the tugs prep arationS for the immediate re- moval of the passengers were be- gun, as the liner was in a bad po- SitiOn.
 Seven hundred passengers were immediately transferred to the warship Baltic and brought to this port, while the remaining 400 were landed by small tugs. The big liner was flOated to- day at high tide and will be- inn |mediately taken to drydock. Sev- eral large wrecking tugs are standing by and pumping the wa ter out of her. No more trouble is feared. So far as known on- ly two compartments have been flooded.

WILLIAM ROWE
 STILL LIVING
Man Shot by Dan Reeder for Breaking Up His Home is Not
 Dead--Cannot Recover.

Dan Reeder, who shot William Rowe at Cordova last Wednesday, did the work with small B. |caliber Bull Dog gun and he fired five shots, four of which hit his man.
 The Cordova Alaskan gives the following account of Rowe's con- dition:
 Three of Rowe's wounds are in the back. within a circle of two and onc-half inches, about on a level with the eighth and ninth dorsal vertebrae. Two of the bull lets penetrated the spinal cord, causing paralysis below that point, and are lodged in the bod ies of the vertebrae. The third bullet passed to the right of the spine and came out about one and one-half inches to the right of the middle line, just below the border of the. ribs in front, haV- ing passed through the liver. The fourth bullet struck over the hip bone and detlected,. lodging on the |side of the thigh about a third of the way down the leg on the outside. The abdomen was opened up by the attending phy- sicians and upon an examination of the stomach and other organs they found no perforations, al though there was a slight heOr- rhage into the cavity.

MAY NOT PASS
 RAILROAD BILL
Senators Jones and Chamberlain Fear That Democrats Will
 be Opposed to Bill.

Washington, D. G., May 3l.-- Senators Jones and Chamberlain are working hard to have the Alaska railroad bill passed at thls session of congress, but prac- tically concede that the Demo- cratic majorities in both the up- per and lower houses are not dls- posed to take the matter up and extend the session into the hot months of August and Septem- Der.
 John Ballaine, the owner of the Seward Townsite company, has made a personal appeal to Pres sident Wilson asking the aid of the chief executive to have some sort of railroad legislation passed at this session that the government owned railroad may be built, the coal lands opened and the latent resources ot the territory developed.

Suffragists' Campaign Expensive


 A few of the figures from the annual report of the Women's Social and Political Union of Great Britain, published in Lon don newspapers, affords inter- esting information. It appears that during the last fiscal year a sum aggregating St40,OOO was raised for the militant suffra- gist, campaign of violence. Of this amount over $l30,OO0 was expended, $3O,O00 of which went for salaries and S10,OO0 for trav- Ieling expenses for the agitatOrs. Apparently, the campaign is fair ly well financed and causes the speculation as to what would happen if the militants should lose their financial support. The English government believes the movement would decline and this accounts for the attempt to seize the cash boxes of the. union. There must be some we'll paid jobs.

The New Postofice Order.

The. recent announcement by Postmaster General Burleson that President Wilson would soon is- sue an executive order requiring all fourth-class postmasters now in office or candidates for pros pective appointment, to be sub jected to competitive examina- tions, will be received with inter- est by all such persons. This ac- tion goes a little further than President Taft went in placing such offices in the classified ser vice. The Taft order did not specifically require an examina- ton. The Wilson order will re- quire such examinations and the postoffice inspector will make a selection from among the first three eligible applicants As Re- publicans as we'll as Democrats will have an opportunity to show their fitness, it would seem that the order will effectually take this class of office out of politics.

Government Reclamation Not
 Failure.

Western people are extremely interested in the bill before con- gress that will give settlers their farms without further money payments. This bill is the pro- posed answer of congress to the complaints of settlers under ir- rigation projects. One of the chief topics of discussion nowadays IS divided into three parts, viz., Is government reclamation a fail- ure Has the irrigation business been over boomed? Should Di- rector Newell be relieved of his job? The facts are that there are 14,000 farms being worked. This means that there are i4,0O0 fam lilies on these farms and prob able population of 65, ,OOO people There are only IA farms that are not being worked, but it is safe to say that if much publicity were given there could be 1000 ap- plications within a month. Oi course there is trouble getting good settlers, and the main trou- ble comes from those who have taken farms to speculate. Does it look like failure?
