 DOUGLAS. Sept. 6.-The Golden State Limited, the crack westboutn train of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railway. was held up at Apache siding, forty miles east of Douglas, about eight o'clock tonight by six masked men. The robbers un- coupled the baggage and two mall cars and forced the crew to run to the county road bridge, three miles west of Apache, where they tried for an hour to break into the express safe. firing six charges of nitro gly- cerine before they gave up the at tempt, and rode off to the north on their COW ponies. No passengers were molested.
 Two of the robbers got on the traih at Apache and as soon as it pulled out dropped down into the tender and covering the engineer and fireman with revolvers forced them to bring the train to a stop and get down on the track One of the robbers fired over the shoulders of the fireman at the clerk who was inst closing the door of the mail car. The bullet went wild and the clerk got the door shut and the car was not molested.
 The naadits then uncoupled the first three cars and forced the crew to run down 10 the county fOad DrluSe where four of their confederates were gath cred around a camp fire. One of thu gang stood guard over the crew anf the other five attempted to break into the express car, finally getting tw' hoboes to break through the door witt tools taken from the engine.

EQUAL RIGHTS
 FIGHT WILL GO
 ON UNCLAIMED
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Sept. G. The National American Woman Sui frage Association by an overwhelming vote today decided to continue its present policy of working for equal rights through both national and state legislation. The vote was taken after long debate and no sooner had the applause that greeted the announce ment of the action taken ceased, than a resolution was presented which threatens to again open the whole question tomorrow
 Virtually all the speakers urged con tinuance of the non-partisan efforts to bring about equal suffrage
 The question of continuing the pres ent policy of the association came be- fore the convention in the form Of two proposed amendments to the organiza- tions constitution.
 The amendments were defeated by a vote in which no affirmative voices were heard. Then Mrs Carrie Chap man Catt, president of the association presented the following resolution: That the forty eighth annual con vention of the association interpre article of the constitution whicf ! pledges our auXiliaries to secure tn, i vote for women by national and stat' constitution as meaning that the fed eral amendment is our principal aim and that all state campaigns. whethe | legislative or referendum. are prepar atory to this end"
 ! The resolution stirred up opposition among delegates and there was evi dence of stormy session.
 Mrs. Catt opened the discussion 0 ! the policy question and amused tn i delegation by stating that Charles E | Hughes, the republican presidentia nominee. had told her that the re publican platform came nearer { what the suffragists want than tha of the democrats and that on the oth CT hand President Wilson told her tn democratic platform was nearer [ woman suffrage than the republica platform.
 She declared that both were ia ahead of their respective parties i their views on the suffrage question.
 Miss Florence Allen said that if stat
 work was taken up exclusively it woul look as if the suffragists had bee
 captured by the party that was strOn for state legislation.
 The suffragettes, she said, shoul , ask the help of all men, regardless ( their party affiliation
 Delegates from Colorado. Orego
 and Texas were among those wh spoke briefly in favor of continuin
 the present policy. The delegate frol
 Texas said that when Mexican bandi
 invaded Texas the people in that stat
 did not stand on state rights bl
 quickly called for federal aid.
 Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. form' , president of the association, said tn; if she were to be born again, sl would give the same amount of tin to the cause above everything else the world.
 The partisan campaign f
 equal rights the association has wage = for so many years. she said, hf
 brought the suffrage question to whe - it is today. Education rather than pa v tisan political action she said, was u s best method to bring about univers
 equal suffrage.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-While the senate was waiting today the bill conferees the Owen cor rup practices bill taken up and made the vehicle for several hours of acrimonious political debate Democrats and republicans nduged in personal exchanges and galed their fellows with accounts of campaign conrib- tiOns and the rewards given contributors.
 The vote to take up the bill g to 14 republicans voting with the majority to consider the measure and democrats voting against it. Senator Owen its all- thOr tonight cancelled speaking engagement before the Ohio democratic convention remain here and fight for its adoption It probably will be taken up again before noon tomorrow and the Oklahoma senator intends to keep before the senate until vote secured what is more probable adjournment is forced by the leaders.
 Senators Curtis of Kansas republican, and Asburst of Arzona democrat furnished the excitement of the days debate in interchange which looked for few minutes as Ii 1t might result in personal encounter.
 The bill would restrict campaign expenditures of can ddates for the senate the house and presidency and vice presidency to greater extent than the existing law Sen atOr Gurus argued that such measure passed when campaign IS half might work unfairly against men who have already spent the stipulated amount He advo cated more stringent law than that proposed and one that would particularly restrict the use of the congressional
 frank to prevent senators representatives from sending out campaign appeals at government expense He read letter from Senator Ashust to constituent recng his record as basis for support and said he understood that OOO0 of these had been fanked out in violation of the privilege.
 If the senator charges that this is violation of the law said Senator Ashus when he got the floor he has sWeetbreads for brains.''
 He explained that his letter had been submitted and approved by the postmaster general and of his assist ants being matter which could be fanked and told how former President Taft when in the Philippines and Secre tary of State Root exchanged cablegrams at 52 cents word paid by the government discuss MT. Tafts health and horseback ride. Calling Senator Curtis the Phari see from Kansas, he srode back the center aisle and shook his finger under Senator Curtis nose Senator Snoot seated just between the two moved back in mock alarm as Senator Ashurst approached. Senator Curtis smiled but kept his seat.
 little later Mr. Ashurst turned on Senator Penrose who sad he had noticed Cooper obby' around the cap ltol whose members had been talking with the Arizona senator.

 Several senators objected to this language and Sena tor Ashust explained he had said f'' and agreed tc withdraw his remark

 Prospects for adjournment of con- gress today went glimmering when the house and senate conferees began in formal discussions on the revenue bill.
 The conferees found some obstacles which, it is hoped, will be smoothed out tomorrow.
 The house, meanwhile, put in it's time hearing political speeches.
 The senate, having nothing else to do, took up the Owens corrupt prac- tices bill, but democratic leaders said it had no chance of passage and would be put aside whenever adjournment could be secured.
