ARREST 2 MEN FOR
ROBBERY OF BANK
Sister, Whose Information Led to
Arrest. Takes Her Own
Life.

SAN ANTONIO. Texas. April a.
Two men, giving the names of Charles
and William Brown, were arrested to-
night at Clarkesville, Texas, charged
with the robbery of the First National
bank of Marble Falls. Texas, and the
murder of Cashier Heinatz on October
25, 1915. The suspects are supposed
to be Herbert and Lewis Dodd. who
are alleged to have committed the
double crime.
Tho remarkable manner in which
all traces were covered by the crimi-
mails, the suicide of a sister Of the
accused men, and other unusual fea-
lures, marks this case as one of the
most daring in the history OF Texas
bank robberies
Pearl Dodd, sister of the two sus-
poets, came into possession of infor-
nation that lead her to believe her
two brothers had committed the
crime. She, in an unguarded mo-
raent, told her sweetheart, and, in
turn. II reached the ears Of Sheriff
Mace of Lampasas. who started an In
Vestigation. Shortly after this infor-
nation became known Miss Dodd
took her own life.

Regulating CITY Traffic.

The new administration faces one
task which is inevitable. Tulsa has
grown so rapidly that proper regUla-
ton in many lines Of development has
not kept pace with the expansion
from village to city life. Particularly
is this true in connection with city
traffic The day is rapidly approach
ing when automobiles must he pre-
vented from parking on Main street
between Second and Third streets.
The parade Saturday was actually
dangerous on this account and some
day an accident will happen which
will open all eyes to the necessity of
keeping this street free from the men
ace caused by autos standing on both
sides of the street.
This column is not hostile to jit1eys.
for how often have they rested our
tired feet when street cars were out
of the question. BAT it is our convic-
ton that union jitncy station should
be established at once on some side
street near the business section and
these cars kept Off of the busy por-
ton of Main street entirely. They
certainly should not be allowed to
stop at the very congested corner of
Third and Main. Jim Pilkington. au-
thor and traffic cop, has some excel
lent ideas in connection with the zone
idea, and the new administration
could not do better than to establish
commission with power to regulate
traffic along the lines he has sug-
gested.

ment 1t could not have succeeded any
better.
DO NOT DISSOLVE.

The extraordinary advance OF gaso-
line prices has walked up the old cry
against the Standard OH company. on
the supposItion that there In a con-
splracy on the part OF that corpora
tion to make ex)rbitant profits out Of
the steadily increasing demand for
this or any other big corporation, but
we cannot miss the chance 10 suggest
hunting up grievances against this big
company-ln fact, whenever anything
goes wrong we begin to figure out
some way TO show that Standard OH Is
to blame for II. But the main thing
after all is that this government has
not found any way to alleviate the
trust evil, whether il be alleged TO
exist in the oil. tobacco, harvesting
machinery or any other business. Dis
solutions have been ordered In many
cases, but dissolutiors do not dissolve.
In form the decree OF the court has
cen obcyed. but in substance the evil
remains unscotchod. There has been
q change in methods but the same
old results are still accomplished and
the same influences are potent as be-
fore Monopoly has not been de-
stroycd, competition has not been lib
Grated, ana prise manipulation has
not ceased. The realization begins TO
dawn upon us that perhaps we have
attacked the problem at the wrong
end. The day of the small dealer and
the small manufacturer Is passed, The
gigantic strides of industry and the
comprchonsivenes OF commercial ac-
tivity have made imperative the com
bination Of capital Small. individual
capital cannot meet the demands Of
the age. but combinations work mir
acles and do the big things we de-
mand and expect. 1t Is not reason
able, then. that we should seek to de-
stroy combinations as a class, but to
place them under a beneficial regu-
lation that would ut the same time
give capital its riehtful returns on the
investment and rebound to the gem
eral good aud prosperity OF the whole
reople. Monopoly is an evil we
should guard against. but big business
is n necessity.

GTRMNNl'S SEA POLICY.

The tendency OF the time In this
country to grow indignant at the hor-
rors which the Teutonic submarine
policy has inflicted on the world has
had ample justification. Yet we
should not grow so indignant as to be
unable to strike n Just balance OF fair
ness and acknowledge that there is
great deal to be said in defense OF
the German position. When we stop
to consider tina. the kaisers navy is
bottled up whore II can do him no
good and that the English have en-
forced upon them one OF the most
stupondous and irritating blochades
the world has ever seen. we will not
wonder that Germany clings jealousy
10 tho privileges of her submarine
service as the only means left to
strike back. Her idea Is, OF course. TO
cut off as much ms possible Of Eng
lands supplies by sinking the ships
which carry thom. In doing this
many lives. both OF belligerents and
neutrals. have been sacrificed. and
much needless destruction of neutral
property has ensued. Had the under
sea boats been used exclusively to de-
stroy the fighting ships Of her enc
mics no one would have protested.
Ages ago 1t was considered proper to
capture or destroy any lives or prop
erty Of an enemy. but CIVILIZATION has
taught nations code of humane be-
| faNior that throws certain safeguards
around neutrals and nonhelligerents.
II is this code, the law OF common
consent that has been grievously
| broken by the Germans, and II Is this
breach that has created wold-wide
indignation and protest. II this were
all we would be justified only In pro-
testing, but the painful part Of tho
present situation is that the United
States, while not involved In the con-
| flict, has been called upon to suffer
srievously because OF the German
policy. and this has made II our right
and our duty to not only protest. but
to mako that protest forcibly felt and
to back It up with action when other
| means fail to stop the iniquity. We
are not alone pleading for humanity,
but the death OF hundreds OF Amcri-
can citizen gives us the right to de-
| mand Il.
