Their Risky Effort.

deputy sheriffs are searching the vir-

gagged the messenger. They rolled the
safe out of the car door as the train
was slowing up for a bridge and then
jumped after it. The robbery was not

Britons Seize oil Steamer.

Washington, Feb. 19.--The Standard
Oil Company today reported to the
state department the detention at
Malta by British authorities of
the British steamer Oneita, which
sailed from New York, Jan. =,
laden with cargo of American
oil. part of which was destined for
Dedeagatch, Bulgaria. The oil COM
pany contends that the oil billed to
Bulgaria was for the Bulgarian gov
ernment, but British suspicion was
aroused because of the close proximity
of Turkey. Three quarters of the oil
was destined for Greek ports and the
British authorities permitted the ship
to deliver those shipments on promise
to return to. Malta before proceeding to
Bulgaria.
Meantime the British government
was to determine whether to permit
the ship to proceed to Bulgaria. The
owners of the cargo are seeking the
delivery of the oil without prize court
proceedings.

Kansas City, Feb. 19.-The body of
Frank James, the former outlaw, who
died yesterday at his home near Ex-
celsior Springs, Mo-, will be crernated
in st. Louis, and the ashes kept in =
local safety deposit vault, relatives
announced today. This was one of his
last wishes 1t was said. Also, at his
own request there will be no religious
services at the funeral 20 be held on
his farm tomorrow.
John Phillips, former federal Judge.
who defended James. when he was
tried for murder and acquitted in CAL
latin. Mo, will deliver the funeral ad-
dress.
Several years ago at the funeral of
Gen. Joe o. Shelby. under whom
Frank James served in the confederate
ranks, and whose funeral address
Judge Phillips delivered. the judge
promised the former bandit to officiate
at his funeral. Frank James did not
explain why he preferred to have his
ashes kept in a safety deposit vault in
stead OF in cemetery at kearney, be-
side the bodies of his mother and
brother Jesse, but relatives asserted he
desired to avoid the constant process

Altho offered $4,000, James cl1ne to

Much was written about the James
boys but no word of how they robbed
ever came from Frank James.
One Of the last members OF a mo-

leled career of crime during the civil
war and the unsettled period that
followed, kept the people Of a dozen
states in terror, Frank James had
been living the life Of a quiet farmer
for more than thirty years.
Many notorious crimes Of the de-
,cade following the war have been
laid at the door of the James Younger
gang Of which the only surviving
members were Frank James and Cole

these raids were:

Mississippi Valley to Suffer Unless

st. Louis. Feb. 19.-Uniess the Mis-
sissippi river is greatly improved the
Panama canal will prove calamity to
the Mississippi valley, according to
Thomas A. Thompson, secretary of the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress.
Thompson's statement was made
here last night in an address before the
river terminals conference OF the val
ley states He spoke on the "Rela-
ton of the Panama Canal to the
Mississippi Valley"
The canal, he said, has made water
shipments from New YORK to San
Francisco cheaper than rail shipments
from st. Louis and Chicago to the
Pacific coast. This condition, he
pointed out, would be remedied if the
river were so deepened as to permit
free navigation from the extreme north
to New Orleans.

German military officials in Berlin
doubt whether much remains Of about
five Russian army corps which were
engaged in the recent battle. While
the Russians may have saved some of
their artillery thru quick retreat, it
seems certain that Russian troops to
the number of at least 10000 are nc
longer to be reckoned with by the
German armies.

States protest against the submarine
blockade, III the opinion of French
writers.~w All columns with ironical
comment The tone OF the document
they consider moderate enough but de-
clare the reasoning preposterous and

asked.
Georges Clemenceau expresses the
belief that terror of famine has driven
Germany to the worse -extremities. He
argues that Berlin would do wisely to
ponder the military power, the enor-
