Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 21.-Queen

ed robbers, who obtained four sacks

SINGLE TAX EXPONENT DIES
Joseph FEELS, millionaire Soap Man,
Gave Fortune to Cause He
Espoused.

Philadelphia, Feb. 24.-Joseph Fels,
millionaire soap manufacturers, single
tax advocate and philanthropist, died
at his home here from pneumonia af-
ter & brief illness. He was 81 years
old.
Mr.. Fels spent most of his time adj
vocating the doctrine of the single tax
in both this country and Great Britain.
He recently returned from England,
where he had given a large part of his
fortune to the creation and the main
tenAnce of a single tax cooperative
colony nea London.
Employees of his firm in this city
benefit by a profit sharing system in
augurated by Mr.. Fels.
Although he early became an advo-
cate of Henry Georges ideas, it was
not until he went to live in England,
about eight years ago, as the English
representative of his firm, that Mr..
F'els began to devote almost all his
time, money and energy to the cause
OF single tax.
Since then, his friends estimate, he
expended more than S100, 900 annually
and visited every part of the world to
advance the propaganda.
His guarantee to the Fels fund in
America, with headquarters in Cincin.
Latti. was $4,000 a year.

Concord, n. H., Feb. 23.-Reasons
for granting the petition of Harry
Kendall Thaw for a writ of habeas
corpus to prevent his extradition to
New York as a fugitive from justice,
were presented to Edgar Aldrich, fed
eral judge. Arguments against the
petition were given by William T. Jer-
ONE, representing New York.
Regarding the other question involv-
ed in the hearing-that of admitting
Thaw to bail-Judge Aldrich, without
making a formal ruling, intimated
supreme court for decision.
The bail petition was not mentioned
until Thaw's counsel expressed a de-
sire for an immediate ruling on it.
They argued that since a commission
appointed by the court had found that
Thaw was not a menace to the com
munity, no reason existed for refus-
ing him admission to bail.
Judge Aldrich said that if the ques-
ton of bail had been brought to his at

it in a different light. With the like.
lihood in mind that the whole case
would soon be removed from his juris-
diction to that of the United States
supreme court, he felt that it might
be best to leave the question of bail
to the justices of that court for deci-
sion.
To this, William NJ. Chase, of coun-
sci for Thaw, replied that as Judge
Aldrich knew thoroughly all branches
of the case he ought to pass upon that
feature of it rather than refer it to
the higher courts, before which there
would need to be a repetition of much
of the evidence.

NORTH MAY FORM A REPUBLIC
Secession Contemplated II Attack on
Torreon is Longer Delayed-Plans
of Rebels Given.

Vera Cruz, Feb. 24.-The command.
er of the German cruiser Dresden has
shipped TO the German legation in
Mexico City two machine guns and
forty thousand rounds of ammunition.
Accompanying the shipment went a
squad of blue jackets from the Ores
den in civilian dress.
Picked American Guard.
The detail of blue jackets on duty
at the American consulate here has
been withdrawn and replaced by a
guard of picked marines.
This step was taken after General
Gustave Mas, commander of the fed
eral forces here, had been notified
and given his consent.
Plan Separate Republic.
Chihuahua.-Sentiment is growing
among rebel leaders it was declared
here that if the attack on Torreon is
delayed much longer, or if the federal
army succeeds in holding that city,
northern Mexico will detach itself
from the rest of the country and be-
come a republic.
While General CarranZa, the civil
head of the revolution, and General
Villa, the military head, disciaim any
intention 70 be satisfied with anything
less than the overthrow of Huerta and
the success of the constitutionalist
cause over the entire country, it is
known that the plan to establish a
northern republic has been seriously
considered.
Scope of Republic.
The territory which it is said,
might be formed into a separate re-
public embraces the five states along
the United States border-Sonora,
chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and
Tamaulipas, with possibly the inclu-
sion of Sinaloa. From practically all
this territory the Huerta army has
been driven out, the chief remaining
strongholds of the federals being at
Tampico on the east, Monterey, Sal
tillo and Torreon on the south; Quay
mas on the west and Nuevo Laredo
and Piedras Negras on the north.
AS suggesting that the revolutionary
leaders may have to content them
selves with their victories in the
north, officials high in the rebel gov
eminent point out that one reason for
the overthrow of President Madero
was that he represented the ideals Of
the north at the seat of government
in the south where progress has not
kept pace with the northern states.
That by delaying his attack on Tor
reon, General Villa has lost some OF
the prestige which he gained in the
quick victory at Ojinaga is conceded
here.

VERY DARING ROBBERY OCCURS
NEAR BELLlNGHAM, WASH
lNGTON.
RESISTING PASSENGERS SHOT
Fusillade of Bullets Follows Attempt
To Overpower Armed Desperate
Two Masked Men Firing
Bandits Escape.

B~ellingham, Wash, Feb. 23.-Three
passengers on a Great Northern train,
No. 35S, bound for Vancouver. B. c.,
were shot to death by holdup men
whom they had tried to resist. The
holdup occurred when the train was
running clong the edege of the bay,
nine miles south of ~Bellingham.
Three Men Killed.
The men killed were: Thomas B.
Wadsworth, a Canadian Pacific con-
Bremerton, Wash, and II. r. Adterson,
a travelling salesman of Vancouver.
There were three bandits and two
of them did the shooting. One had an
automatic revolver and poured bullets
among the men, who grappled with
him, while women screamed and faint
ed.
The men are believed to have board
ed the train at Burlington, a few miles
south of the place of the holdup.
They sat quietly in the smoking car
for a few miles, then were seen to
leave the car and go into the vestibule.
They emerged from the vestibule and
walked into the day coach, the next
car. They then had white handker-
chiefs tied over their faces.
Method of Bandits.
One of the men entered the coach
and walked through to the rear door.
Another man stood just inside the
front door. The third man stayed in
the v~estibule. The man who walked
through the car started to lock the
e a door.
AS he stopped the three passengers
who were killed leaped from their
seats simultaneously and grappled
with him. The desperate at the for
ward end of the coach began shooting
into the car. There was an immediate
panic. The car lights were lit and
the gun man aimed his revolver at the
globes, with a few shots extinguishing
nearly every one.
The robbev at the real end of the
coach had shaken sufficiently loose
from the men who sought to hold him
to get his revolver In action. Ii was
an automatic and rang death as soon
as he opened fire. At the first shot
Lee fell, badly wounded. He tried
to crawl away under a.seat. Two more
shots killed Wadsworth and Adter-
son.. Then the robber saw Lee trying
to get under a seat. He turned the
gun on the wounded man and pumped
six deadly shots :nto his back. Lee
died instantly. None of the shots fireu
by the other desperate hit any one.
No Resistance Now.

was a pail of smoke when the murder

tried to modest or stay him this
time.
Women thrust their purses at him
as he walked down the aisle. He car
ried his smoking revolver, blue steel
barrel turned toward the cowed pas
sengers, in n hand and with the
other he snatched the purses offered
him, slowing them away in his pockets.
After he had seized several he ran the
