Steesol to The Telegraph

Carlisle, Pa. Jan. 24.-"I will well
come any fair investigation, and the
more thorough it is the better. The
record of the school speaks for itself" ;"
Thus spoke Superintendent Moses
Friedman. of the Carlisle Indian
School. this morning upon his return
from Washington when asked for a
statement regarding the recent charges
brought against him and the. school.
Continuing, Mr.. Friedman stated that
he would have a further statement to
issue to the public. probably next
week.
According to some citizens in Car
Isle who have been defending the
superintendent, Mr.. Friedman will not
tolerate incompetency about the school
and it is said that during the past year
quite q number of employees who have
been under civil service have been
dropped for cause and that they are
back of the investigation.
Friends Defend Friedman
Mr.. Friedman claims the record
made by the school since he has been
in charge speaks for itself, and resi-
dents of this borough who favor his
retention say that he has vigorously
prosecuted charges of illegal sale of
liquor to Indian students. 1t is said,
too, that Mr.. Friedman devotes all of
his time to the school and that he has
raised the standard of the athletic and
academic courses

lost $3.50. / did not hear a sound and
knew nothing of it until later. If I had
awakened, I probably would have
been robbed also"
Just as the robbers reached the
berth occupied by Mr. Cramp, a porter
in the next car saw what was going
on. He locked the door of that car
and yanked on the emergency brake.
When the air set, the robber was about
to tap Mr.. Cramp on the shoulder. AS
the air sounded through the pipes the
bandit suddenly turned and backed to-
ward the door.
Just keep still and every one will
be SAFE" he said, as he held his re-
volver in one hand. When the train
had almost stopped he jumped to the
ground and fed.

Bv Associated Press

Facklers, Ala, Jan. 24.-Railroad de-
tectives and deputy sheriffs early to-
day with bloodhounds began search
for three men who looted the mail and
express cars of southern railway
passenger train near here and after
starting the locomotive and the two
cars on a wild run disappeared on

Ala, nineteen miles away, where it
stopped when the locomotive went
dead
The two passenger coaches of the
train were picked up early to-day by a
train from Chattanooga, Tenn, which
brought the officers and dogs.
The robbers obtained sum estimated
at $100 by blowing the express car
safe. Their search through the mail
car failed to produce anything as only
second class matter was in the
pouches No attempt was made to mo-
lest passengers. Those who ventured
out when the train was halted were
sent back by patter of bullets.
The bandits did their work in a lone
ly spot. The locomotive and all and
express cars first were detached from
the passenger coaches and run down
the track a hundred yards. One of the
robbers guarded the engine crew and
mail and express clerks while the 9TH
er two robbed the cars.

New York, Jan. 24.-Orders at the

WEST END CITIZENS
WANT EXTENSION Of
CLUSTER LIGHTING
Petition Commissioner Bowman
For Conference on Plan
For Third Street
TO MAKE TRIP OVER TOWN
Superintendent of Public Safety to
Go Over City; Other Sec
tons Want 1t, Too

West End citizens have petitioned
Commissioner Harry F. Bowman, su-
perintendent of public safety, for an
extension of the ornamental street
lighting by cluster standards on UP
North Third street.
Announcement by Commissioner
Bowman some weeks ago that he
meant to confer with officials of the

relative to the extension of the cluster
light system to include standards on
the four corners of the cross-sections
OF Third and Maclay. Sixth and Ma
clay. Thirteenth and Derry Third and
Verbeke streets, met with such gen.
eral approval that business men and
residents in other sections have taken
the matter UP.
The residents of the upper end OF
the city want the cluster lights ex-
tended from the proposed clusters at
Third and Verbeke to Maclay. Others
in Verbeke street want the system to
be carried on out from Third to Front.
Ask For Conference

commissioner of public safety the pc
titioners have asked for q conference
with that city official. 1t is under

tension, should the moves be decided
upon.
Commissioner Bowman expects to
make trip over the city with an off,
cial of the electric light company in
the near future with view to inspect
ing possible locations for additional
cluster lights. He is now awaiting
data on the subject. Ever since the
cluster and standard lights superseded
the overhead arcs in the business dis

in other parts of the city.
