Lone Bandit With Gun In Each Hand
 Sticks Up" Train
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BOISE, Idaho. Nov. With a gun gripped in each hand, a lone masked bandit held up westbound train No. IT, the Oregon Washington limited, Oregon Short Line railroad, six miles west of American Falls. at 7:30 to- night, robbing the passengers of the observation car of S434.50 and con- siderable jewelry. He first appeared in the observation car. Working toward the front of the train, he took money and valuables from the frightened passengers and kept them covered as he progressed. Where he boarded the train no one could tell. The bandit, the Power county sheriff says, evidently intended to make his way through the entire moving train, but as he stepped into the vestibule from the observation car he met the conductor emerging from the car ahead. Evidently fearing opposition from the conductor, the bandit made no further effort to advance but forced the rear brakeman to stop the train and, jumping from the train, he made off, disappearing in the di- rection of Coolidge, a small station two miles distant.
 A strange automobile was seen prior to the holdup.
 It is thought the bandit made his getaway in this car. Sheriff George Hanson of Power county and his deputies left American Falls for Cool idge on a speeder immediately after the holdup They posted themselves along the highway between Coolidge and Burley to intercept the bandit ii he attempted to escape in that direc- ton.
 Sheriff Mabey of Bannock county and his force arrived at Coolidge from Pocatello at 9:45 tonight. The Pocatello sheriff stationed his men along the road leading from Coolidge to Amerdeen.
 The bandit wore a red bandanna | his eyes were covered by a pair oi | auto goggles. Passengers described him as youth of about 27 years ot age, weighing about 140 pounds, oi slight build and red-haired. AMERICAN FALLS, Idaho. Nov. :
 According to a telephone message from Coolidge, passengers who Wer' robbed by the lone bandit lost S4546' in cash. The bandit relieved the req brakeman of his gold watch an6 chain.
 Posses have been sent out iron here under the direction of Sherlf George E. Mabey. who arrived a 9:45 o'clock. Another posse was or ganized at Minadoka and third on at Aberdeen under the direction O Sheriff Dan Mckay.

howevcr, he would not Object /" the
law being made slightly les castle.
Served On Board
"When | was appointed to the city
board of equalization last year." said
he, 81 did not know the law had been
changed and that arbitration had
been abolished. | was a little shock
ed with a sense of the responsibility
that was upon me. But the. board
went ahead in a conscientious and
courageous manner and did what it
thought was right and what | still
believe was right, setting valuations,
hearing protests, and then changing
values after hearings, If it felt
changes were merited.
Cone example of an experience of
the board will demonstrate that we
should not return to the old method
of arbitration. One property owner,
whose property the preceding year
had been returned at $4,000, made a
return of $1,000. We happened to
have absolute information that this
man had refused $4,000 shortly be-
fore for the particular piece of pro-
erty in question. The board took the
position that this valuation was prob
ably little high, values then being
at the peak during initiation, SO we set
a valuation of $4,000, which was 81
per cent of the offered cash value,
whereas we were fixing values at 60
per cent or more generally. This
property owner came before the
board with his attorney and made
considerable kick, but the board
knew it was right and declined to be
moved, and as a result the valuation
stood on the books at $4,000. l am
convinced that if arbitration had been
possible this man would have been
able to secure reduction to $12,50G
at the highest, and probably to $10,-
900, the former figure.
Helps Big Owner
~ am convinced that arbitration is
of little or no value to the small
property owner, and only permits the
big property owner to get his taxes
cut down. The little fellow accepts
his valuations and says nothing, con-
sidering the amounts not worth con-
testing over. Understand I hold
no partiality between the small prop
erty owner and the large one l sim
ply believe all men should be treated
alike and that we should not have
laws that operate to the advantage of
one class against the other,
"In this instance, as in others, !
shall try to represent the will of the
people, regardless of my own per
sonals feelings in the matter, unless
there should come a vital issue in
which consider it my duty to let my
best judgment govern, and / would be
glad to hear an expression from the
people as to whether they really want
arbitration re-established or not"

FINAL STEP

The final step in establishing a
court of international justice will be
taken at the meeting of the assembly
of the League of Nations at Geneva
in September.
This is the most important item on
the program of the assembly meet
ing.
AS practically all of the nations,
members of the league, have ratified
the draft plan of the court, the rati-
fcation by the assembly, which is
necessary, to make the court a go
ing concern, is more or less a for
mality.
It may, therefore, be predicted with
certainty that within a few months
the long-dreamed of experiment of
settling disputes between nations in
the same rational manner as disputes
between individuals are settled, will
be under way.

the same time as the Deering came

TO SINK NINE
GERMAN VESSELS

NEWPORT, NEWS, Va, June
21.-The first bombing experiments
to be conducted jointly by the U. S.
army and navy air forces, off the At
lantic coast, beginning today, will
send nine German war vessels to the
bottom of the sea.
This wholesale destruction of the
German ships, in conformity with the
international agreement by which
they were obtained, is for the pur-
pose of determining the effect of
modern explosives on modern ships.
If bombs or gunfire fail to finish
any of the craft, depth charges will
be used
When the tests have been COM
pleted, the dreadnaught Ostfriesland,
light cruiser Frankfort, submarines
U-111, U-117 U-140 and UB-148 and
three destroyers>wi be no more.
SerieY of Tests
Tests will be made in a series of
steps. The vessels will be examined
BY experts after each step so that
tho maximum knowledge of the effect
of the explosives can be gathered.
Officials say it is unnecessary to
use 2000-pound bombs on a vessel, if
250-pound bombs will do the work.
Hence first hits will be made with
the smaller bombs, to be followed by
other ones up to the largest. And
the effect of each hit will be regis
tered.
The bombing experiments are de-
signed to determine:
The ability of aircraft to locate
vessels operating in the coastal zone
and to concentrate on such vessels
sufficient bombing planes to make an
effective attack.
The probability of hitting with
bombs from airplanes a vessel under
way and capable of maneuvering, but
incapable of anti-aircraft defense.
100 Planes To Be Used.
More than 100 planes will be used
in the attack. These will include the
latest type of Martin bomber, which
carries 5000 pounds Of bombs in adj
dition to complete armament of
machine guns, has a speed of 105
miles an hour and a cruising radius
OF 800 miles.
AS fast as planes are built they are
tested and Immediately flown to
Langley Field Virginia. Here the
army and navy air service has mobiI-
lied the pick of its flying personnel
and organized the air fleet. Scores
of planes are ready for action.
Some navy officials believe that
modern battleship is capable of with
standing the most terrific bombing
possible without being destroyed.
Others are less confident.
And Uncle Sam win soon know
which are right.
