again but the robber was too quick for me-
 What was that?' he asked the porter. A pocketbook, was the an- swer.
 "'Reach in and get it. the robber commanded and despite my efforts to prevent it, the porter grabbed the purse and handed it to the robber.
 AS he turned away I got my pis- tol from under the pillow and began shooting at him. He returned the fire and disabled me.
 ''He failed, however, to get a dia- mand ring valued at $2,O0O and seven twenty-dollar gold pieces, which were in a pocket of my trousers"
 Robbery of the Joplin millionaire, Jesse M. Short, was the primary ob- ject of the giant bandit who held up a Kansas City Southern passenger train in the Kansas City suburbs early today, according to the police theory.
 After a pistol fight with Mr. Short in the Pullman the robber fell off the train wounded, carrying $1 ,000 of Shorts money The mine owner was left lying in his berth with three bull lets in his body. Physicians say he will recover.
 Total Amount SLIGO.
 According to a telegram sent to the police today from Grand View, Mo-, by c. G. Gibson, conductor of the train, the total amount obtained was $1,100 in money and diamond Of this amount Mr. Short lost $1 900, w. J. Scafer of Neck City, Mo-, $65, and F. A. Seaman of Eureka Spring, $35 and a diamond stud. Conductor GiE- son said the robber must have been wounded seriously, as he left clear trails of blood.
 At dawn the search for the big rob- Der went forward with double vigor His escape was made in region of switche tracks, box cars and market wagons.

CONFIDENCE IN THEIR CITY.

The banking institutions of this city arc to be commended for displaying their faith in Pine Bluffs future and ln endorsing the administration in the matter of finances, for on yesterday the Pine Bluff Clearing House Asso ciation decided to purchase city scrip on an eight per cent basis. This is the lowest discount the city has ever en- joyed in the disposal of it's warrants and the, banks have every assurance of the city officials that all the scrip will be redeemed at maturity.
 It is now up to the merchants to cooperate with the banks and the city administration. Individual in vestors can purchase city scrip with the usual confidence in it as an in- yestment and there will be no useless expenditures O.. unnecessary expenses incurred by the city government until the present financial endorsements disappear and the credit of the city is lS-CoNoUlioucO Ou SOuuu Udolo. II the bond issue is enacted by amend inent of the state constitution at the next general election Pine Bluff will have not further cause to complain. With it all the cities of Arkansas will go forward.
 The only fear expressed by those in charge of the various municipalities of the state is that the dramshop li- censes will be eliminated from city revenues during the coming year. But those who have the welfare of the cities at heart and who believe that licensing of saloons in the best solu- | on of the matter, are confident that the anti-saloon law enacted at the last session of the legislature will not hold good in the courts. The present scrip issue in this city is being ar ranged to conform to such an emer- gency if the saloons are put out of business and if they are permitted to cont hue business then the city will be $20,000 to the good annually.

How'd You Ike This Job z

With every change in the office of
treasurer of the United States, the
money in the United States treasury
in Washington has to be carefully
counted. This is the job John Burke,
former governor of North Dakota, but
named as United States treasurer by
President Wilson, is now engaged in.
1t generally requires from two to
five months to make the count. A
government mathematician has figured
out that it would take one person 800
years to verify the record of Mr.. Car
mi Thompson, whom Burke succeed
ed. Ordinarily every note, bond and
other security is counted.
Losses have seldom been found In
these counts. When the treasurer
was changed some years ago 5000 was
stolen during the official count. A
laborer engaged to lift the heavy bags
of cash substituted leaden discs for
silver dollars in several bags, necessi-
tating a five months count of every
dollar of the S115,OOO,OOO in the big sill
yer vault. The laborer was convicted
of the theft and the retiring treasurer
relieved by congress of the RESPONSE
bility of the loss.
While the treasurer of the United
States handles no money personally,
he is the only bonded official In his
Office. His $4,000 bond covers ev-
cry subordinate, and for many years
treasurers have urged congress to or
der the bonding of employees who
actually handle the $4,000, 600, 900
which passes through the treasurer's
office annually.

WOULD NOT KILL THE CALVES
illinois Congressman Says That's Why

illinois Congressman Says That's Why
There Is Shortage of Beef Cattle.
The conservation of calves as a
means of lowering the high cost of
living is a plan formulated by Repre-
sentative Britten of Illinois, who has
been investigating the scarcity of beef
cattle and the consequent high cost of
meat. Representative Britten intro
duced a bill into congress designed to
prevent the killing of calves and to
insure an increase in the meat supply.
The measure would make a misde-
meanor the shipment in interstate
commerce of beef cattle killed under
two years of age. "In 1911" said Mr..
Britten, eight million calves were
slaughtered. If these calves had been
allowed to live for two years, and al
lowing 1,4O0 pounds as an average
weight for a 2-year-old COW or steer
they would have produced 11,2OO,OOo,-
600 pounds of beef to supply the scar
city we now feel"
