BANDITS ROB TRAIN
Freight Mistaken for Express OH
west Shore Line.

New York, Oct. 19.- Revolvers
flashed, sharp eyes peered through
black masks, commands of Glands
up" rang out and a West Shore
freight train was he'd up and robbed
IN true Wild West fashion early to-
day only "forty-fvc minutes from
Broadway"
But for the quick thinking Of the
engineer of an express train, which
was following the freight. a great
sum in cash, jewelry, and other valu-
ables might have been taken by the
bandits who endeavored to make a
double haul. The express is reported
to have been carrying large sum of
money from the sub-treasury, and au-
thorities believe the bandits thought
they were stopping this train when
the freight was held up near Haver-
straw and one Of the cars looted.

union SERVICES Open
Large and Interested Congregation
at First, Baptist Church
Last Night

The union services planned for TINS
week opened under suspicious cir
cumstances in the First Baptist
Church last night, when Rev. DIR. W..
Watson delivered the opening sermon.
His text was "Now is the accepted
time. now is the day of salvation"
The speaker said that God through
Christ has reconciled the world to
himself and has committed this word
of reconciliation to his servants, and
declared that ministers are to pro-
claim this reconciliation. DR.. Wat
son forcefully urged the unsaved to
accept Christ now and make an open
confession, surrendering their lives
to God. He warned his hearers OF
the peril of postponing decision.
A short meeting was held in the
interests of personal work, and many
who had pledged themselves as per-
sonal workers remained.
Inspiring music was rendered BY
y union choir, old-time Gospel hymn:
being used.
Services will be held again this eV'
ening at 1880 o'clock.

CHARLTON FAINTS AT TRIAL
Alleged Wife-Niurderer Overcome
While on Stand at Como.

Como, Italy. Oct. 19.-When the
case of Porter Charlton, the American
charged with numbering his wife,
was called yesterday, Signor Catanco
asked for a further postponement to
give Miceli Picard, Charlton's CHIEF
counsel, who is indisposcd, further
time to study the case. Baron Sciacca,
the presiding judge, refused consent
to a postponement of the trial, saying
that he considered the presence Of
Signor Cataneo, Of Charlton's coun-
sci, sufficient to protect the interests
of the accused. The court then pro-
ceeded to interrogate Charlton.
The prisoner spoke for about an
hour. giving complete account of his
life from the time he met Mary Scott.
whom he married and Of whose murd-
err he is accused, up to the time the
crime was committed. Charlton spoke
in Italian, but owing to the difficulty
he experienced in finding just the prop
er words with which to express him
self, the court frequently helped him
out.
Charlton was attacked with a faint
ing fit during the progress Of the in
terrogation and was obliged to retire
from the courtroom. When he re-
turned Baron Sciacca continued the
inquiry.
The public was excluded from the
courtroom because Of the nature Of
the testimony.

LANES PLAN APPROVED.

Much attention is being paid Outside to the plan suggested by Secretary Lane to provide development board for Alaska. that it's federal affairs need not he tied up with too much red tape. The reason that the people on the Out side are so much interested in the plan is that il involves. in way. the com mission form of government that has been adopted by several of the leading cities of the country. and has been suggested for some of the states in stead of q legislature
 The only difference between the pro- posed Alaska Development Board and
The Nome daily nugget., 1915-03-20

the commission plan, as 1t Is being tried in some of the cities. is that the city commissions have the power to make laws. while the Alaska commission would have only routine work to look after The law-makng powers would remain in the hands of congress and the Alaska legisl@~-e.
 Sometime Alaska will have popu- lation that will support a home govern ment, and then the federal commission can resign. but while the population
 remains as scattering as it is at pre-
 lent, the main law making authority, and therefore the main source of in- come must be congress, though the local legislature in minor way will he permitted to make limited number of laws
 Those Alaskans who insist that the Territory should be given a greater power to make laws fail to consider the fact that the Territory is not self sup porting and that even if the local leg islature had the power to make more laws. it would not have the funds to
 carry out it's plans of development.
 Thus if congress is going to provide the funds for the Territory it will justly
 have the right to say how those funds shall be spent. This authority vested iI congress to make the important laws for a territory, distinguishes a territol? from state. which has the right to spend it's own funds as it pleases. At a meeting of the Pacific North west Society in Seattle recently ! L McPherson who had charge of one of the railroad engineering parties in AL
 aska last year explained the need hero of the development board. or territorial commission as it may he called. as sus- gested by Secretary Lane. The follow Ing is in part what he is quoted a g hay ing said at that time
 It's population that Alaska needs And the vast treasure territory must gain freedom from the too crampinG influence of the bureaus at Washington who guide her interests thousands of miles away. and gain the degree Of home rule that Secretary Lane so wise 1 ly advocates.
 Alaska must have cumulative men to win the treasures of the North so jeal-
 ously guarded by nature, men who can bear the sting of the Arctic winter and the long dreary nights and trails l. needs government of men conversant with the needs 0 fthe Territory. Nov there are eleven different bureaus il
 four government departments to super
 intend the development of Alaska This division of responsibility causes delay and exasperating red tape, fckleness in looking to Alaska's needs. and re- suits in partly stopping the phenomenal development that is sure to come with the passage of Lanes program

have shortly gone before and many in dications point to the probability that 1t will be better. New dredges are to be installed which will furnish an ad- ditional field for the employment of labor. beside adding their quota to the golden product of the district. The several larger mining companies are planning to work on enlarged scale, it is expected that the railroad will be opened for traffic which will add new impetus to the activities of the interior and we are promised that the York tin region will witness development on a hitherto unheard of scale Some. it may be. consider that there is nothing here 10 warra mt the opinion that Nome can recover from the decline of the last few years and, hence, conditions can not be better Many are busy voicing tue belief, we know and strange to say many who are busy spreading this de- spondent prophecy are among those whose every interest Is tied up with the future welfare and prosperity of the district The majority of our cit
 izens. however. are, we believe, firmly of the opinion that Nome vet has a
 future and that time will witness the coming of new and stable condition of prosperity. and these are looking forward 10 the coming summer, not with the belief that they are going to make fortune. but that things will at least be better than for the past few seasons. For ourselves. we are firmly convinced that Nome is not dead, that there is yet a marvellous future for Seward Peninsula. There are still vast stores of mineral wealth lying in our hills and streams and it is believed that time will witness their development
 It is not expected that Nome will bloom as it did in the earlier days
 but it is believed that conditions will be much better If there is nothing here or back of us that is worth while if there is nothing to attract or war rant development; if there is nothing to bother ones self about in the hope
 that it may be of benefit, then indeed Nome is in bad way and we had best pack up our duds and vanish to more promising fields But, we do not be- lieve that such is the case. Further, we do not believe that the great majority of our towns people believe it either
 for there are many reasons to believe that the loud voiced pessimists are not merely yoicing opinions bred of their own failures and like the countless host most prosperous times are prone to blame their own lack of prosperity on sher surroundings regardless of the fact that where they have failed a thousand have succeeded. If We may accept the statements of those who employ their energy al some more worthy labor than decrying what they do not themselves enjoy, there is a stable and prosperous future in front of Nome and time will disclose it, even to those benighted ones who loudly proclaim the contrary
