AN A RD MO RE BAD MAN
MAX ES GET AWAY AFTER
A 30 RT|VE EFFOR RT TO
HOLD UP SANTA f TRAIN
EARLY THIS MO RN n c
n. Insert, Miss Jessie Dell.

A crude attempt was made evidently
by rank amateur, to hold up the Pull.
man sleeping car attached to train
number 5, southbound Santa Fe, which
left here shortly before six o'clock this
morning, but the only valuables se-
cured by the embryo train bandit was
the watch and q small amount of pock.
ct change belonging to the Pullman
conductor.
The train in charge of Conductor
but was running late on account Of
weather conditions, an dhad just left
the Ardmore union depot when the
hold.up occurred. Local railway Of.
ficials were unable to give the name Of
the Pullman conductor who was held
up.
Just after closing the vestibule the
conductor was confronted by n man,
about thirty years Of age, who pointed
q pistol at his head and demanded his
valuables The conductor seeing what
he was up against promptly handed
over his watch and what change he
had whereupon The bandit opened the
vestibule door and jumped from the
train.
When the train reached Marietta the
local authorities were notified by wire
and search for the robber was be-
gun by the chief Of police and his men
and Sheriff Garrett.
The best description that the victim
was able to give OF the gun man was
that he wore a brown suit of clothes, a
black hat and was about thirty years Of
age.
Wild rumors were floating early this
morning to the effect that there was
one person on the car relieved Of $780,.
600 also that the bandit secured all
kinds of booty, but the Pullman con-
dnctor seems to have been the only
victim of the disciple of Al Jennings
and his loss was light financially, al
though he probably suffered from
"sholl.shock."
The car was filled with sleeping pas
sengcrs, who would have been easy
prey TO a real train robber.

CHA| RMAN OF NAT ONAL

ASKS FO R DELAY IN
THE 1920 ELECTION OF
.CL UBS' EXECUTIVES

Cincinnati, Jan. S.-August Herr
mann, chairman of the national base
ball commission recommended that no
chairman to succeed him should be
elected at the present annual meeting
of the commission held here today.
Hermann said that in view of the
fact that no definite conclusions in
the matter of a chairman have been
reached by either Of the two leagues,
or the committees representing them,
that the election should be deferred
until the meeting of the two leagues
called for early next month.
Hermann made his recommendation
in his annual report, which he read at
the meeting.
Referring to the fact that a year ago
he advised deferring election of u chair
man until the club owners were agreed
on the question of one-man commits.
sion or three member board, as at
present, Mr.. Hermann said:
Understanding that no definite con-
clusions with respect to this matter
have been reached either by the two
| leagues or the committees representing
them, it must be apparent that there
should not be any election Of officers
at this time. In making this state
ment, I want it understood that L is
not done with a view, on my part to
hold on to the office, but on the con.
trary believe that the question in con-
troversy should be taken up by the
committees already appointed for this
purpose, the two leagues as well as
yourselves, for adjustment at the earli.

mind that there will probably be n

thereto or at that time.
an the national league one club
owner at least. is again advocating
the appointment Of n one.man COM
mission, notwithstanding that a pro
position Of this kind was decisively
defeated by the two major leagues at
their tenure of office in the appoint.
ment of n new chairman must also be
given proper consideration. None of
these matters, however, should cause
any prolonged delay. All of them, in
my judgment, could be settled Mt one
meeting of the interested parties
which, I have already stated, should
be held at as early Il date as posi-
bic.
an the meantime, II my colleagues
are of the opinion that the commission
should operate temporarily without a
chairman, ] will be glad to tender my
resignation Immediately"
Herman in his report advised that
no action be taken at this time to
wards entering into new agreement
with the minor leagues.

Washington, Jan. S.-Organizcd rail.
way employees have started on the 9th.

the problem of the high cost of living.
Unable to obtain relief through add.
tional wage increases which one of the
chiefs said We're invariably followed by
increases in living costs. the four big
railroads brotherhoods and the affiliat
ed railway shops crafts have adopted
scheme to escape the profits of the
mlduleman by a system Of cooperative
buying, production and distribution Of
the necessities Of life.
Plans for the cooperative movement
We're laid at n farmcr-labor confer.
ence at Chicago, in November and al.
though they are yet in tentative
stage, definite course of action is ex.
pected to be adopted at a second con.
ference for Feb 1915, at Chicago.
The proposal calls for an alliance
between farmers and laborers to ere.
ate direct dealing between farm pro.
duccrs and city consumers and between
city producers and farm consumers.
The plan is being worked out by the
All-Ainerioan Farm-labor Cooperative
Commission, which was formed after
the November meeting in Chicago, and
II includes the erection OF warehouses
as distributing centers and the organi.
2ation of a cooperative bank.
This latest move on the part OF the
railway organizations was taken in
some quarters to Indicate that the rail.

NOWPROBLEMAT|C
PROVES FEASIBLE

Washington, Jan. S.-Tri.partite con.
trol OF the American industry in which
the public capital, and labor will be
share equally, has been advanced by
Glenn Il. Plumb, author OF a similar
plan for railroads. Advanced copies Of
his proposal have been circulated
among government officials and a pub.
lie announcement is expected soon.
Plumb in presenting his plan de-
clares that the existing industrial sys-
TEN is crashing around our ears" that
wages have no relation to the value OF
service, and that profits are wrong
fully eXaoted"
Reconstruction Of the industrial sys-
TEN of the United States is necessary
to produce absolute equality between
the three interestS-the public, capital
and labor, Is the aim of the author
To create this, he adds, the grant OF
society, either as a privilege or mon
Opoly, shall be considered the invest
ment Of society in the industry, and
the capital invested and the labor eX-
erted shall be deemed the investments
Va tHp StipIlaI anu ldDOI BIOupS.
Profits on the investments, the plan
provides would be reaped by society
in the form Of better and cheaper SER
vice; by capital in guaranteed better
wages and a share Of savings produced
by labor in production
Under Plumb's plan, industry would
be divided into four classes:
Q)-Those indivdualisuc in owner
ship and operation.
(2l-Those formerly individualistic,
but which through organization now
concerns only direction and supervis.
ion of production OF others, who have
no interest in ownership.
(3l-Those based on grants TO society
and railroads and commercial transpor-
tation facilities.
The fundamental interest" the plan
asserts, "is the need of society for the
products Of that industry or the ser
vice which it renders that calls the
industry into being. In the first two
classes, where society has made no
grant the free working of the law Of
supply and demand protects the public
interest"
