ALASKA RAILROAD BILLS
 CREATE DISSENSlON

Washington, Oct. 15.-Now that Senator Chamberlain has made his Alaska railroad bill the unfinished business of the senate for December s, Pacific coast members are studying the probable advantage their re spective states can gain from the opening of the territory Most of them will vote coal from Alaska to the coast states cheaply enough to promote manufacturing.
 In all probability some of the Progress sives will support Senator Poindexter's Alaska bill as a substitute for the Cham berlaln measure. The Poindexter bill pro vides not merely for a government owned railway, but for public ownership and operation of all public utilities in Alaska He proposes that the coal be mined by the government and shipped in government yes sels to Washington, Oregon and California to be sold in the open market. Carrying the Progressive slogan of 'social justice" into definite terms, he prescribes in the bill that all employees in these enterprises shall be given the highest standard of working conditions, hours and wages, with the fur ther reward of profit-sharing scheme.
 The fight over Poindexter's substitute will be warm. It is expected to split the Demo cratic forces. It will perhaps lead to the adoption of compromise plan which shall at least give the coast states a government operated line to Alaska, to connect with the federal railroad.

Bank Robbers Are Fooled in Their
Work,

Burglars attempted to rob the New
| Market Savings bank Monday night
but were frightened away before they
accomplished the act. The story is
this: J. S. Hanshaw, of Bedford
had received word that his mother at
Green City, Mo-, was dying and he in
turn had phoned his brother G. A.
! Hanshaw and sister, Mrs. J. r. Lind
sey at this place asking them to get
ready and he would be after them
in his auto and take them to Bedford
where they would take the train for
| the above place. This was about
1880 O'Clock Tuesday morning. Mr..
Hanshaw started down to the store
to get some money before making the
trip and in passing the bank was
held up by two masked men who de-
manded to know his business. He
briefly told them of his errand to
his mothers bedside, but they took
him in hand. Two men flashed re-
yolvers in his face and he was told
to march. He was taken to the rail-
road yards and placed in box car
and locked in and told to keep still if
he valued his life. He kept still for
a time, until he thought his captors
had left and then he attempted to
get out. But a warning from the out
side showed him that a guard has
been left to look after him so all he
could do was to stay in the car and
keep still.
In about thirty minutes from that
time. or about o'clock, J. S. Han
shaw arrived in his auto from Bed
ford and drove to his brothers home.
Not finding him there he drove to the
home of Mr.. Lindsey in the south
part of town only to find that he had
not been there. Search was at once
made for the missing man, whom it
was thought had met with foul play,
but no one guessing that he had been
held up by bank robbers. Mr.. Han
shaw and Mr.. Lindsey searched in
vain for their brother and finally

from the stamp drawer, nothing was
mOlested.
Sheriff Morley was notified and no
and deputy G. A. Double arrived on
the scene early Tuesday morning. G.
A. Clayton, of Lenox, was sent for
and arrived with his blood hound,
early in the forenoon. The dog was
taken to the blacksmith shop and CIV
en- the scent where the men had
broken in to secure the tools. The
dog took up the scent from there to
the bank and on to the stock yards.
Here they ran into some pepper and
the dog refused to go any further.
The pepper was plainly seen where
they had emptied the box and satnr-
ated their shoes The trip was re-
peated several times, but the dog al
ways wound up at the same place.
AS we go to press no clue as to the
identity OF the safe blowers has been
discovered. 1t is the opinion that it
is the work of amateurs with an en-
pert leader. ~
Four men are believed to have
been in the gang here. Mr.. Hapahaw
saw three, and it is thought another
man was on guard at the. Mason
corner. There is nothing to indicate
how they came to or left town.
While it is almost impossible for
burglars to enter one of these vaults
and reach the money chest in the big
safe, the bank would have been Sc
cure even if they had. Mr.. Tomilscn
has ample burglar insurance to cover
all his deposits and is always secure
as to this danger.-New Market
Herald.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1913-11-06

called others to their assistance un.
til about dozen men in all were
securing the town. 1t was about
$3.50 when the missing man was dis.
covered locked in the box car on the
railroad track. J. B. Marsell, Doyle
Hicks and Nate Straight were com
ing down the hill from the north
and when they got to the railroad
track they heard his faint cry for
help and went to his assistance.
1t was not until Mr.. HanshaW was
found locked in the car that anything
was known of the attempted bank
robbery. The robbers had broken in
to the blacksmith shop and secured
the necessary heavy tools to work
with. They affected their entrance
into the bank through the south
window in the front of the building,
by breaking the catch and raising the
sash. They were we'll on their way
in securing entrance through the out
side vault door, but would have had
four other doors to contend with be-
fore reaching the money chest. 1t is
doubtful if they could have reached
the money chest in one nights work.
With heavy sledge they broke off
the combination wheel of the outer
door of the vault and had drilled
nearly through the door to the lock.
They left in a hurry, seemingly, as
all tools were left where thew were
used.
1t is thought that Mr.. Hanshaw,
in his car, was the means of frighten-
ing the cracksmen away from the
job. His going past the bank two or
three different times probably led
them to believe that something was
brewing and they made their geta-
way.
Mr.. Tomilson was the first to enter
the bank after the attempted rob-
berry. The blinds had been pulled
down and the front door had been
forced open from the inside where
the bandits had made their exit. Be
side the damage to the vault door
and the taking of about 40 cents

Emulating Hercules

Seven young boys were ta&er
before a Baltimore Judge the oth.
er day, charged with ridiculina
and annoying an old woman oi
the neighborhood who does moi
understand English. The judge
might have sent them to a re-
formatOry, or put them in charge
of a probation officer, or let then
off with a scolding and threat
OF dire consequences if they were
brought before him again. But
ne was wiser than the average
Judge. He proceeded, with d..
form and ceremony, to swear in
each of the seven lads as a spec
ial police officer whose sole duty
it would be to protect the old wo-
man from insult and injury.
Then he told them how Hercules
learned to treat every woman as
a mother and every girl as a sis
ter, and sent them forth in their
new role. as representatives of
law and order, with instructions
to return and make a full report
