100 Armed Men Mounted On Cow PO-
MES Pursue Bandits In Flivver
Who Attempted Holdup Of Train

Tucson, Ariz., May 15-The old
west returned today when 100 armed
men with six shooters and riding cow
ponies of Arizona started over the
desert trail of seven fleeing robbers,
the men fleeing in flivvers, the mod
ern mount of trainrobbers. The rob-
bers held up the Golden State Limited
near here shortly before midnight.
The train was speeding across the
desert when brought to a sudden stop
by the explosion Of a half dozen tor
pedos laid on the track by the rob-
bers. True to traditions of the old
western days of the Pony Messenger
clerk on the train numbered a
heavy rifle hanging on the wall and
when the magazine was empty one of
the bandits lay dead and the others
were fleeing across the desert. In
hours four posses were heavily armed
with rifles and headed by deputy
sheriffs had taken the trail. The pur-
suit led southwark toward the Mexi-
can border less than 100 miles away
and over desert trails where water
holes are few and far between. The
train was cut in two, some of the cars
going down the track nearly a mile.
Just as the bandits were going to be-
gin work on the looting of the express
car, however, the messenger opened
fire and the robbery was over. The
engine picked up the straying cars
and sped on toward Los Angeles
where it is due today. The passen-
gers in the coaches were unaware
that anything more than he ordinary
had occurred

see anything wrong with these bare
faced violations of the law. But now
Mr.. Baker comes before the voters
with the statement that the law was
alright but was improp erly ;dn1inis-
Mr.. Baker made plea for the mill
and elevator as being essential To per-
nit the farmers to market their pro-
ducts at fair rate. He wisely avoid
ed any reference to the Drake mill :,
yet the Drake mill vas supposed to be
an experiment. Mr.. Webster defines
an experiment as IAN act or operation
designed 10 discover some unknown
truth, principle or effect of to estab-
lish it wnen discovered".
The "principle" established by the
Drake experiment was that a tiny,
state operated flour mill will lose
500 LAY without selling flour any
cheaper or paving any more for wheat
than a privately owned competing
mill.
Mr.. Baker might elaborate on how
he expects to get any different results
at the Grand Forks mil. He might ex-
plain how he expects to turn the loss
at Drake into a profit at Grand Forks
or he might tell how the Grand Forks
mill and elevator may be expected to
lower the price of flour to the con-
sumner or to increase the price paid
for wheat to the farmers.
The party which Mr.. Baker repre-
sents had five years in which to carry
out its high sounding promises and to
make good on all the political balder-
dash it's leaders have been peddling
about North Dakota for the last six
years. Mr.. Baker makes no attempt
to explain the failure to make good
thse promises or the failure to convert
this political bunk into action. He
contends himself with repeating the
promises. This is his platform. --

Two Bills Before Congress Will Be
Rushed Through And Attorney

Soon As Possible.

Washington, D. c., May Is The
assurance Of the quick enactment of
the two bills providing the attorney
general with money and the machin-
cry for the prosecution of the alleged
war grafters was given by republican
senators today. One bill is to provide
for the employment of lawyers to aid
in the prosecution. The other bill
provides for 100000 to the depart
ment of Justice for the employment
of special investigators and counsel
and the appointment OF a special
grand jury in the district of Column
bia. Daugherty told congress in a
recent message to President Harding
that it was his plan to impanel the
special grand jury Immediately upon
authority being granted He will pre-
sent before the jury the evidence of
the alleged frauds in. contracts which
come under the jurisdiction of the
court. Daugherty returned to his desk
after vacation with President Hard
ing in New Jersey and gave his i'm
mediate attention to the fraud cases.
Daugherty will appoint Fraud cab
met" which will consist of some of
the best lawyers in the country.
Daugherty's first move after the
100000 is given by Congress will be
to communicate with the Bar associa-
tons of the country asking that they
cooperate with him in securing the
best lawyers to give their services to
the government. Daugherty announc-
ed that the salary will be $4,000 a
year, maximum, which the house bill
provides. 20 to rs lawyers will be
hired according to the present plans.

that the Genoa Farley adjourn until
June at which time the delegates of

were informed. The suggestion of in
viting the United States came from
France. The idea seems to be that
Russia's negotiations broke down be-
cause the Russians needed credit and
the Allies could not supply them in
sufficient quantities. The U. S. is to
be invited in order that she may sup
ply the credit. The plan is for the Ha-
que meeting Of the allies and the U.
S. to appoint single committee of
experts on the Russian problem and
to have in their hands the entire prob
lem including credits.

MIR, BAKERS "KEYNOTI"

Mr.. Bakers speech was about what

CONGRESS AND THE SOLDIERS

Pending the decision of Congress
and the President on the bonus ques-
ton, it is we'll to glance at the rec
ord of the government in it's treat
ment of soldiers and sailors of the
late war. If it appears that the gov
eminent has been liberal and thought
full in it's care of these men, there
will be less disposition on the part Of
any one to suggest that the delay in
bonus legislation is due to disregard
of right or justice in dealing with
former service men.
A statement compiled by the gov
eminent authorities, made public yes
terday, throws much light upon the
government attitude toward it's de-
tenders. The figures are brought up
to April /, and show that total of
81 1896, 260,634 has been appropriated
for the welfare of soldiers and sailors
of the late war, in such items as fam
lily allowances, insurance, hospitals,
vocational training, &c. The appropri
ations for the fiscal year 1923 are
$406, 038,842 for these purposes. Thus
the United States is expanding more
than 81 100000 a day for the welfare
of "the boys". The expenditures 10
April 1, specified, are as follows:
Military and naval family allowan-
ces, $298,615,0O0.
Military and naval compensation,
1851, 100000.
Insurance, $23 100000.
Administration, $3.50 ,996,8S0.
disqualification, $224,729,402.
Hospital construction, $47,095,000.
Vocational training, $469, 123,37O.
Disposition of remains, $33,473,792.
Bonus allowance, $24S,682,2O0.
Payment to beneficiaries of army
men and officers, $10,495, 900.
Total to April 1, $1,996, 260,634.
The number of former service men
receiving vocational training is 1885,
200. The average received per month
by each man is $115. This includes
compensation which goes to families.
In addition, the government supplies
the men with books, tools, medical
care, transportation, tuition in schools
&c.
Other figures on wounded and dis
abled men are as follows:
Approximately 10000 are now in
hospitals.
The total number wounded is $685.
526.
The total number discharged FOR
disability is 251 916.
The government is paying compen-
sation on 50,420 death claims aud
156,539 disability cases.
The amount paid last mout! for
this compensation was $10,3 20: COO.
The government is paying ir.sur-
ance on 134,55O death claims and
5000 disability claims.
The amount paid in war risk in
