opened his eyes from the big leather

took deliberate aim and pulled the
trigger.
The hammer clicked sharply on the
worthless thirty-year-old cartridge, and
the major sprang around with an ex-

pulled the trigger.

Blackmailer Attempts to Hold

Demands Payment of $4,000

THREATENS TO BLOW UP SHIP

der threats of blowing up CunaIu

ives continued their Investigations OF
the case in the belief that Wescott OF
Joseph Burton as he later aomltteu
his name to be, had the aio oA o"o
or more cOnfederates. .u -
Hackensack, N. j., but 1t was peneveo
tolay that he probably would waive eA-
tradition and be brought to this c1ty
for arraignment. To the New !UIA
detectives and secret service men OF tne
West Shore railway, Burton 1s salo 10
have confessed the authorship OF the
letters in which ARRANGEMENTS were
made for the payment of the $lVUOO
demanded as immunity for the sa1ety
of a Cunard liner which the wr1ter oe-
clared would be blown up at sea- Dy
placine dynamite in the coal. In car
wing ont these instructions the de-
tectives staged a spectacular drama OF
real life following in detail every IN
struction specified by the would-be
steamship wrecker.
Burton, too, the detectives alege'
carried out the part assigned the col
Iector of the $4,000 by blowing po-
lice whistle as a signal for an agent
of the Cunard line to drop a package
containing the money from the rear
platform of West Short train onto
the railroad tracks. Detectives sta
toned on a special train following,
seized Burton, who they say picked
up the decoy package.
Previous to staging the final act OF
the plot the detectives followed the
first order. The writer OF the letters
demanded as an indication OF good
faith that an agent of the Cunard line
should stand for three minutes with
an arm resting on a statue in the New
York City hall park. At the end OF
three minutes the agent was to raise
his hat and disappear.
The writer stated that ne Woulo Do
in a position to see and would take TINS
pantomime as an indication that the
money was to be paid in the manner
demanded and as carried out by the
detectives. Since the first letters were
received about three weeks ago. olti-
cials of the Cunard line stated today
that unusual precautions had been
taken to guard all Of its steamships
lying at its pier in this port.
This was the reason why the public
was not admitted to the new steamship
Acuuitania when she was here during
a part Of last week. About 70 years
ago, it was stated a somewhat similar
plot was almost carried to completion
on a steamship of the Cunard line, q
fact that influenced the officials OF
that company and the police in plan
ming for six days to thwart the plot
by apparently falling in with the de-
signs of the blackmailer.

The Topeka Traffic association,
which saved its members thousands of
dollars through claim collections and
reduced freight rates in the first two
years of its existence IL now starting
out on it's third year in an aggressive
manner. The organization is not an
tagonistic towards the railroads. but il
endeavoring to see to 1t that Topeka
has a fair deal in freight rates and
adjustments.
Through the commissioner, n. d.

complaint with the interstate COM
merce commission attacking the rate
Of 28 cents per hundred pounds on
carload shipments of iron and steel
from st. Louis and other Mississippi
river crossings to Topeka (when orig
mating east Of the Indiana Illinois
state line).
At the present time. the rate on iron
and steel articles which enter into the
made in Topeka is identical with the
rate on the finished product and 1t Is
impossible to compete with the east
ern manufacturers Of the same COM
modities with such a condition exist
ing. The traffic association hopes to
secure a special commodity rate on
this class of material which is now
moved on the fifth class rate.
Lower Than Class Rates.
The carriers have voluntarily in the
past made special commodity rates on
other fifth class articles which are
materially lower than the class rate to
which the article belongs. AS an illus
