 Lindsey Hutton. manager of the store, made a nasty search in an ef- fort to learn the amount of goods stolen. but he was able to give only an estimate this morning. He stated that the loss would amount to over sS50 in merchandise alone. Four of the best overcoats in the store were gone. seven suitcases and several travelling bags were missing, and al- most all the shirts of the 151s size and all the soft and semi-soft collars had been taken.
 Evidently the robbers had packed the suitcases and bags with the loot and had then leisurely fitted them selves out In the best that they could find in the store. MT. Hutton was of the opinion that the band had either q truck or an automobile in which they made their getaway
 MT. Hutton notified the plocal po- lice and also the state police and an was started No clues had been founi ur to late hour to- day.

Mr. Marsh said: T was in a native village when 1 noticed three girls passing into the jungles. They had bodies as light as sunburned white girl and decidedly light hair-a start ling and incongruous sight among these black and rag-cIad negroes. They belonged to white race living up the Chucanaque river. The ne groes told me these whites all had light-brown or yellow hair and were wild and warlike.
 "The skin of the girls faces was tanned but free from that colored pigment so distingulshable in all brown and darker races The fea- lures of the eldest girl were an oval face. thin lips. well-shaped chin and aquiline nose. They spoke no Span ish."

Ry The Aasorinted rress.
 The Rhineland republican movement was extended in some quarters of the occupied area today but seemed to be receding in the districts first affected. Berlin maintains that the move ment has been generally de- feated.
 The most important new ac- cession of the separatists was Duisburg. in the Ruhr, where according to a Belgian official message the republic was pro- claimed early today and the pub lie buildings occupied.
 Wiesbaden Secedes
 Dr. Hans A. Dorten. leader of the previous separatist move ment, seems to have thrown in his lot with the proponents of the present venture, as his fol- lowers are reported to have hoisted the republican colors on the government buildings at Wiesbaden, his home town. where ten persons were wound ed in subsequent rioting.
 Republicans Lose Ak
 On the other hand Berlin dispatches report the expulsion of the republicans from Aix-la- Chapelle, where the present re- publican movement saw it's in- eeption early Sunday, The for mer regime is declared to have regained complete mastery there and also at Muenchen- l,ladbach, were the separatists had seized control.
 Coblenz. which the republi- cans plan to make their capital, was still in the hands of the old officials this forenoon, but the separatists were said to be ready to seize it before the day was over and expected no opposition to the move.
 Conflicting Reporus.
 There are conflicting reports re- garding the city of Bonn where the republicans were reported to have aeized the government offices, The | latest Berlin advices, however. de- elared the separatists had been de- feated there Treves, Mayence and all | the cities in the Ruhr area, except 1 Duisburg are apparently still in the | hands of the regular officials.
 Overnight developments in the Ba- varian situation were negligible. The | aggressive attitude of pr. Won Kaher, the Bavarian dictator and the support | given him against Berlin by Genefal i; Won Lossow, commander of the Ba- yarian reichswehr has made the Ba- varian authorities masters of the sit ment apparently helpless for the mo- ment to curb such independent ac- ton as Bavaria may wish to take.

 It is insisted in Munich. however, that Bavaria is not considering seces- sion from the federation and that the differences are solely with the present Berlin government. Meanwhile the reichrat, or council of the reich. has been summoned to meet tomorrow to discuss the whole Bayarian situation.

SELLING ITSELF
TO THE PUBLIC

With announcement that "the public be in
formed IS It's policy in matters affecting botl
the railway and the public, President Carl X
Gray OF the Union Pacific has launched pro
gram of newspaper advertising the first install
ment OF which has just appeared Others will
follow on the first Of each month
''Ihc Union Pacific realizes" says Mr.. GRAY,
that the goodwill of its patrons is its greatest
asset. IL also believes that successful railway
is the greatest asset of any community which it
serves" With this statement every thoughtful
citizen must be in complete accord
Originally the sole function of a railway was
TO move persons and property from place to
place. Today it is generally recognized that to
explain 10 the public the how and why of the rail
way business is almost as essential as the doing
OF that business.
The Union Pacific has for many years en-,
couraged IT'S authorized representatives to dis
cuss railway problems frankly with the public,
but not until now has il undertaken TO reach its
patrons, employees and the public on the entire
system at one time.
The Union Pacific serves mighty empire ex-
tending from Council Bluffs, Omaha, St. Joseph
and Kansas City on the east to Los Angeles, |
Portland, Tacoma, Seattle Spokane and Butte |
on the west. One out OF every six persons in the
country lives in state reached by the Union Pa
cfc More than $4,000 persons receive Union
Pacific pay check each month Estimating four
persons to family, 100000 persons are directly
dependent on the Union Pacific for support If
to this be added persons engaged in producing
supplies and materials purchased by the Union
Pacific, the grand total would run into millions
The railway employees, their families patrons of
the road and the general public in the thirteen
Union Pacific states are vitally concerned in
the railway plant at state of high
st effectiveness.
Everyone who has the welfare of the COM
nunity at heart will find interest and profit in this
