George Hardsooll. a laborer working on

The robbery was made one night In
October" said Dalton. 1.-The gang was
led by Jesse James, and with him was
Dick Little, Jim Cummins. Jim Collins
boarded the blind at a water tank just
west of Moscreet.
When the train had passed the sta
ton they climbed over the water tender,
pointed two revolvers at the engineer
and fireman, compelled them to uncouple
the engine from the train and halt it 200
yards up the track. Jesse James and one
other, whose name I will not mention for
he is living, entered the express car,
overnowered the messenger and COM

They got nearly $4,000, most of it be-

The silver and gold was so heavy ii

taken to a place on the bank Of Little

MANAGERS DECLINE
MEMS PROPOSALS.
Will Not Arbitrate' Under
Erdman Act Demand for
Wage Increase

New York, January $50 arbitrate or
take strike vote was the alternative
tonight confronting representatives. of ~
600 firemen on so eastern railroads. Man
.asers of the railroads rejected this after
noon the firemen's proposal To arbitrate
uroer the Erdman law their demands for
increased pay aud other concessions. In
stead the railroads made two counter
Propositions:
Fifst-To meet with the firemens repre-
sehtatives and appoint an arbitration conf
mittee of seven.
Socond-To follow the precedent set in
the case of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers and refer the demands
to a tribunal of seven men, one each to
be appointed by the parties concerned
and the other five TO be named by the
federal labor commissioner. the presiding
judge Of the commerce court and the
chief junstice of the United States su-
preme court.
The railroads objected To having the
demands arbitrated under the Erdman
laws chiefly because three men would
settle the controversy This they thought
placed too great responsibility upon the
ionc man who would cast the deciding
vote.
None of the so district leaders of the
firemen's union cared this afternoon to
forecast the next move.
The firemen's demands call for an addi-
tion of s9,ooo.ooe to the annual pay roll.

the night in the quarters. where he is
legally confined. He will be brought to

eys due former attorneys. Opposing this
motion, Gleason appearing for himself
declared the defendant by her acts and
words assumed responsibility for Thaw's

the existing Organization of the army
TIE purpose, he said. is to attain a mill
tary establishment here on a war basis
not in the matter of the number OF
troops but the arrangement of commands
and the creation of tactical units SO that
a splendid mechanism will be erected

TIE call of danger. Thus. instead of the
present system whereby the commander
of a military department finds himself
with several regiments of infantry at
one point. as many cavalry at another a

dier general would be placed in charge
of complete brigade with its proper
proportion of each of the elements of the
efvice which while scattered somewhat
within the limits of several states, would
be capabl of speedy concentration and
utilization of the brigade when required.
No attempt was made al todays ses-
