TO ABDUCT MORMON CHIEF.
Bandits Threaten to Hold Smith For
100000 Ransom.

Denver. The threatened abduction
Of Joseph Il. Smith. head OF the Nor
mon church, In Salt Lake City, to the
Jackson Hole country, In Wyoming,
where a ransom of 100000 was to be
demanded for his release by the three
daylight robbers who held up 125 tour
lists In Yellowstone park on July 8, has
caused the federal authorities here to
adopt extraordinary measures for his
safety.
News of the contemplated abduction
first reached Roy o. Sampson OF the
department Of justice and his assist
ant. j. w. Melrose. two months ago,
but the matter later was dropped by
the federal authorities.
The abduction, however, of Il. A.
Empey, a wealthy cattleman, from his
ranch at Idaho Falls, Ida, presumably
by the three Yellowstone park bandits,
and his release upon the payment OF a
$4,000 ransom caused the authorities
to enc their interest in the matter.
According to reports received by the
federal authorities, the abduction OF
Smith was to follow closely after the
abduction OF Empey.

STEEL TRAIN CARRIED
RECORD CARGO OF GOLD
Forty Armed Men Guarded
Fifty Millions.

New York.-A special train carrying
$Jo,O00,O00 I'm treasure. one-third In
gold and two-thirds In securities, which
had been shipped by the Bank of Eng
land from London via Halifax to this
city, arrived at the terminal OF the
American Express company at Thirty
third street and Tenth avenue In sew
en- steel cars garrisoned by forty arm
ed men.
The treasure crossed the Atlantic In
a battle cruiser accompanied by a 40
tilla of torpedo boat destroyers.
The gold, which is worth about $20.-
100000, weighs approximately seven
ty-fve tons. The cost of shipping it
TO this country. in the upkeep OF the
naval forces. In the elaborate guard
maintained on its railway journey and
in loss OF interest Is said to amount TO
about $4,000.
When the armed train left Halifax
1t was preceded by "A pilot engine for
the purpose Of testing bridges and
~trestles and to Illustrate any attempt
to wreck the treasure cars by dyna-
mite. This %precaution was suggested
by the exploit OF Werner Horn, the
German reservist, who attempted to
blow up the st. Croix River In%terna-
tional bridge on Feb. 2 to stop ship
ments OF munitions for the allies from
this country to Canada over the Cana
dian Pacific railroad.
News of the arrival of the greatest
cargo of treasure ever carried by a
single ship did not get out OF Halifax
because of the rigor OF the British
censorship. 1t was learned, however,
that before the treasure had been land
ed days delay ensued. for the rea-
o that Admiral Beatty had orders to
deliver the shipment directly I o the
American Express company, which
had no offices OF its own In Halifax
and was represented there by the Do
minion Express company. Admiral
Beatty cabled back for instructions
Snd was ordered to make the delivery
TO the Dominion Express company.
In this case one days delay means a
cost OF thousands of dollars. The in
terest on the valuable shipment at 9
per cent would be 81, 730 a day, which
was lost. The cost of keeping the feet
on the errand for an extra day and the
expense of maintaining the express
company's train and guard was also a
heavy one.

FORBIDS THE SALE Of
LIQUOR TO SOLDIERS
Applies, Order Reads, TO 'In-
trenched Camp Of Paris"

Paris.-For many months the rule has
obtained that no drink could be served
In cafes or bars In Paris to soldiers in
uniform, whatever their rank, before
the hour OF 5. In the early days it was
not unusual TO see colonels, and gener
ais even. who forgetfully had seated
themselves on the terrasse of a cafe
before the fateful hour gently moved
on as undesirable customers.
General Gallieni has issued, 1t ap-
pears. a much more sweeping and strin-
gent decree forbidding the sale OF alco-
Eol to any soldier at any hour of the
day throughout the whole OF the in
trenched camp OF Paris. The decree
runs thus:
hour when the physical and moral en-
ergy OF all soldiers should be at the
highest intensity the struggle against
alcoholism, which destroys both. must
be carried out releutlessly.
HE therefore thinks Ii right to for
bid I'm the intrenched camp Of Paris the
sale to soldiers and the purchase by
them In cafes, bars, shops or houses Of
alcohol and alcoholic drinks-absinth,
bitters, aperitifs, vermuths. liqueurs
and all other alcoholic drinks not spe-
officially named"
Ii is not quite clear whether wine
and beer are to be included In the ban,
but 1t is probable that they are not.
The soldiers at the front, of course.
have their wine ration. which was in
creased quite lately.

MOUNTAIN LIONS SCARCE.
Fear Now Hunters Have DIFFERENTIATED
Breed.

Sacramento, Cal. Reports to the
state comptroller indicate that the
huntsmen OF the northern counties OF
the state have practically exterminated
the mountain lions. Last month only
four mountain lions were killed I'm Cal
ifornia as against close upon 200 for
the same period a decade ago.
Three OF the four were killed In the
southern counties-one each I'm Los An
geles, Tulare and Kern. the fourth one
being killed In Humboldt county. The
bounty paid for the pelts by the state
was $50 for June.
Indications are that efforts OF stock
raisers during the past quarter OF a
century have resulted In the practical
extinction of the animal. Bountles
have been paid upon 22.O0o mountain
lions I'm the past twenty-five years.
