Highwayman in Paducah.

Paducah, KY, Jan. 27.-The bust
ness section of the city was thrown into
commotion early this afternoon when
W. B. st. John, of Fulton, KY, in mod
ern bandit style, drove up to the First
National Bank in taxicab and attempt
ed to rob it by poking a long pistol
through cage and demanding that
Assistant Cashier George Warfeld hand
him the large pile of money laying on
the latter's counter. Warield engaged
the robber in conversation while Cashier
Nolan Vanculin, approaching from the
rear, grabbed st. John and disarmed
him, with the assistance by bystanders.
An alarm sent to the police station
brought patrolmen and detectives quick
ly to the bank, and st. John was ar
rested and placed in the county Jail.
St. John was intoxicated, according
to policemen, who believe he had read
of such robberies, and thought he could
one successfully. His only
statement was:
pulled bone"
The warrant issued against st. John
charges attempted bank robbery.

Ocean Freight Rates Advanced.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Evidence oil
extraordinary advances in transatlantic
freight rates since the outbreak of the
European war, amounting in some in
stances to 900 and even l, $50 per cent,
was presented to the Senate to-day in a
joint report from Secretaries McAdoo
and Redfeld.
While this report is being written, I"
the statement says. information is re-
ceived that rates are higher than those
given in some of the tables presented,
and that even at these extraordinary
figures it is difficult to obtain cargo
space for earlier sailings than March
and April"
The report contains numerous tables
of rates on various commodities from
American to European ports and sum-
marizes the principle advances since
August l.
The report declares that in one year,
If American exports maintain the De-
cember, 1914, level, the increased rates
will make charge of $216, 224, 400 on
American shippers and that if the i'm
ports be included on the same basis of
calculation, the amount would reach
the sum of 1911, 1854, 400, or AL per
cent over the usual cost. If normal
rates are taken in conjunction with the
abnormal on the December basis the
freight charges on both exports and
imports in year would make the grand
total of 1852, 10000.
The report contains several score let
tiers from business men over the coun-
try declaring their inability to get bot
toms for their freight, and charging
discrimination by such carriers as are
an business against freight that pays
low rate and the breaking of contracts
by at least one of the big trans Atlantic
steamship companies.
The report concludes with an argu-
ment in favor of the ship purchase bill,
in which the Senate is reminded that
such unusual freight charges, if con-
tinued, may result in creating big bal
ance of trade against this nation.

Fayette County Officers Wounded

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 26.-Sheriff
J. T. Jordan, aged As, and Special Dep
uty David Dobbins, aged &c. were shot
and seriously wounded this morning at
IL O'Clock in a pitched battle with
Henry Roberts, aged 20, at a point
four miles east of Somerville in Fav-
cite County.
Sheriff Jordan was shot once in the
abdomen and once in the mouth with
pistol bullets. Deputy Dobbins re-
ceived several bullets in the abdomen
and is not expected to live.
The officers went into the country to
serve warrant on Henry, John and
Charley Roberts. 1t is alleged that
Henry lay in ambush for the officers
with the assistance of Charley, aged
81, and third man.
Two years ago Charley Roberts es-
capped from the State Industrial School
at Nashville. He was assisted in max
ing his getaway by his brother, John.
The case was dropped and the brothers
had since made their home near the
scene of to-day's shooting.
The nature of the new charges against
the Roberts boys has not been ascer-
tanned.
One arrest has been made.
