new ORLEANS MEN LOSERS
Had Cargo of BurIap on the British
Cruiser Diplomat.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-The losses of New
Orleans importers of burlap in the
sinking Of te British ship Diplomat by
the German cruiser Emden. in the Bay
of Bengal, were apparently not so Sc
rious as reported from New York,
where it was stated that 100000 to
25,000,000 yards of burlap was carried
by the ship for imports here A. C.
Carpenter, manager of the Gulf Bag
Company. said Sunday that the
amuont carried for that company by
the Diplomat was small. Mr. Carpen-
ter said he thought the amount was
not over 500 bales, valued at about
500 bale. Most OF the burlap COM
ing to the company was on an earlier
ship. That imported on the Diplomat,
he said, would not have reached here
for some time, but its loss might
cause some shortage about December.
1t was insured at war risk.
j. c. Werner, representing Mente &
Co., another importer of burlap, said
that firm also had little cargo on the
Diplomat. The other important i'm
porter of burlap is the Fulton Bag and
Cotton Company. T. r. Watt, man
ager, said he did not know how much
cargo the Diplomat carried for the
company, as the matter was handled
in New York, but he thought it was
only small amount.

ALLEGED BANDIT
CAUGHT OUT WEST
ALBERT OLIVER CHARGED WITH
COMPLETELY IN BIG TRAIN
ROBBERY.

Nestern NowSpaper Union NewS service.
New Orleans.-Albert +. OllNer, al
legged train bandit, who is charged
with completely in the robbery OF the
New York-New Orleans Limited OF tn"
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Ju-
w "a, and with conspiracy to hold up
and rob another train on that ROAD a
year ago, was captured Friday IN
cheyenne. Wyo., by postoffice inspec-
tors. Flagman Thomas Eglin was
killed in the hold-up of the Louisville
and Nashville flyer, which occurred
on the outskirts of this city, and u
is probable that Oliver will face an
additional charge of murder.
Credit for the apprehension of this
much-hunted criminal is due largely TO
the persistent efforts of S. W. Purdum.
post Office inspector of New Orleans
who succeeded in tracing Oliver from
New Orleans to the Far West and fur
nished inspectors in that section OF
the information that lead to his ar
est. Mr. Purdum was happy wher
>e received a telegram Friday from
the inspector in charge at Denver an
nouncing divers arrest. He imme-
diately forwarded to Cheyenne a copy
of the Federal indictment for conspir-
acy to rob the mails pending here
against Oliver, and it is expected that
the lattet will be brought back here
next week.
Oliver is a native of Bay st. Louis.
Miss, and his criminal career began
in that town when he was but sixteen
