COFFEE EXPORT NORMAL
No Marked Increase at Santos, But Bigger Shipments Are Expected Very Shortly.

Buenos Aires, Aug. 1.-Reports that the coffee shipments to Santos from the interior of the state of Sac Paulc. Brazil, had recently exceeded normal, following the evacuation of Sac Paulo by the rebels. appear to have been unfounded, according to the Santos correspondent of La Ma cion.
 He quotes the coffee merchants of Santos as declaring that no ship ments have arrived from the interior since the insurrectionary movement started but that they expect the ship ments to begin again within a few days.
 The exportation of coffe, which was also stopped by the rebellion, was resumed last Monday. Normal arrivals from the interior reach 35.- 900 bags of 50 kilos each daily, but 1t Is expected that when the situation has become stabilized the shipments will be Increased to compensate for the days lost.

Written Plans for Rc5tegy,
Picked Up in Garage, Frus-
trate Effort to Loot Golden
State Limited at Meade,
Kansas, Last Night

MEADE, Kas., Sept. ga note
found in a garage 800 miles away
tipped off, officials of the Rock
Island and Pacific Railway comrany
that an attempt to rob the Golden
State Limited was to be made here
last night. The tip proved to be
a true one, and in the battle at the
railroad tracks two deputies were
shot and perhaps fatally wounded
one of the bandits who escaped is
believed to have been shot, and a
third man is held accused of being
one of the band.
Posses this morning are searching
the county for the two escaped
bandits.
The note which was found in a
garage at Rossville, near Topeka,
Monday night, shortly after three
men had stopped for gasoline, was
at first considered a hoax, but late
Tuesday, on the possibility that it
might be Of value, it was turned
over to Rock Island offices in To
peka and acted upon by them.
The note itself did not mention
Meade, nor the time the Golden
State Limited was due there, but
this information came with the note
and Rock Island officials are today
trying to find out whether the
strangers mentioned the PLACE and
time in their conversation at Ross
vile.
Code Name Used
The text of the note:
THE hidden gang is to meet al
/ the creek bridge IA mile east OF
Hugginsville station. Two are tc
20 to the night clerk, hold him and
change the signal to red (danger)
The California express will hold
there at the sign of danger, with
its mail car containing $18,000,00O
worth Of valuable bonds. Near the
bridge Black Bart and Jack are to
jump aboard and give an improViSed
story as to the danger signal and
with the clerk off guard gag and
tie him and escape with the bonds
to motor car. Take the road to the
gap and hide the money"
"Hugginsville" was believed to be
a code name since there is no place
or that name in Kansas.
When the train drew into Meade.
Sheriff Earl Lepper, of Meade coun'
ty, with a score of deputies was
hidden in a neighboring boxcar.
Two Robbers Escape
When two Of the bandits demand
ed that the enginemen hold up their
hands, the officers appeared, and
the bandits began shooting. L. v.
Kenney, deputy sheriff, and Roy
Lewis, a mail clerk, who had been
deputized, were wounded, and one
OF the robbers was seen to fall but
he escaped with another member
OF the band.
The man arrested gave the name
of Alonzo Pizno, and officers believe
he was delegated to Uncouple the
engine and mail car from the rest
of the train. He was just getting
off the blind baggage when ne was
arrested.
Ralph Judkins, special agent of
the Rock Island at Pratt, east OF
here, said he understood the mail
car contained mail worth a quarter
Of a million dollars. Mail clerks
barred their car, but did not partic-
ipate in the fighting, since they
were waiting until an attempt was
made to enter the car.
One of the wounded officers was
shot in the stomach, and the other
III the groin.
