Pacific system was leaving the Chey-
enne yards Tuesday night. No sooner
had the boyish-looking intruder alight
ed on his feet than two blue steel re-

leaned against the door of the car,
smiling and suave. He ordered the
train stenographer to pass the hat"
and the young man obeyed, using his
uniform cap. Don't bother the woin-
en-" ordered the boyish-faced bandit
The five men had given s563 and a
gold watch and chain and were still
contributing, when Flagman Hudson
entered the car. The railroad man
took in the situation at glance. He
backed out, locked the observation car
door behind him, cut the bell cord
and the robber was shut off from all
but those in the car who stood with
hands in the air. Seeing his probable
plans baked. the robber started
toward the retreating flagman, recon
sidered. and, still smiling and courtly
grabbed the cap filled with money and
watches. and started for the door of
the car.

pocket, took out a watch he wore.

.FAvORS SIX new SHIPS
HEARINGS ON NAVAL APPRoPRiA
TION GILL END.
Secretary Daniels Believes Opportun-
ity viii Come at End Of War for
Limitation of Armament

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington. The House naval
committee brought to an end its pro-
longed hearings on the 1917 naval APP
preparation bill. Secretary Daniels
closed three-day statement before
the committee with a final appeal in
support of the Administrations five
year building program. A sub-com-
mittee will begin Immediately framing
the bill.
II became known that determined
effort would be made to provide for
six capital ships, two dreadnoughts
and four battle cruisers, as com
promise between the recommends.
tons of the secretary and of the
navy general board.
Mr.. Daniels parried efforts to get
from him u statement as to the rela-
tive place among naval powers the
United States should occupy. He said
the five-year program he had mapped
out would not put the country in sec
ond place, in his Judgment, and that
the present Congress could not be
asked to make up for the deficiencies
of twenty years past.
At the close of the European war.
he said, he believed a great oppor-
tunity would come for international
limitation of armament, and with a
strong building program adopted, the
United States would be in better
position to urge that movement sue
cessfully than if it's fleet were weak.
