threw 100000 worth of raw silk from
thu cars, but were driven off after Ii
gun fight with members of the train
the loot away.
One of the robbers was shot by a
conductor, but was carried away by
his comrades and member of the
train crew narrowly escaped death
when a bullet whizzed through his
hat. Search of the vicinity resulted
in the discovery of marks of six
trucks in lane close by the tracks
These apparently had been placed
there to receive the silk and had been
used by the fleeing gunner to make
their escape.
Some of the robbers are believed to
have boarded the train at Jersey City
and in some manner sawed the brake
line as the train was passing the spot
where the trucks were hidden. After
the train came to a halt the men
lowered themselves over the sides of
the cars with ropes. broke the seals
and proceeded 10 hurl the bales of silk
from the cars. h
While the robbers were at work,
George Daneey. the conductor,
climbed upon the top of one of the
cars and seeing what was taking
place, threw himself prone on the car
and opened fire.
The fire was returned, and for 10
minutes before the men fled bullets
flew thick and fast one passing
through Dancey's hat and grazing his
scalp. One OF Dancey's shots took
effect, and he saw a robber fall into
the arms of comrade, who carried
him into the woods.
Meanwhile another railroad employee
had telephoned the State police bar
racks, and a detail of troopers reached
the scene just after the men fled. A
st. Louis-bound train on the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad also was tagged
by the freight crew. and armed ex-
press messengers and Others joined in
the unsuccessful hunt for the men.

tive Stalker of New York, a member of

Stalker's letter reads as follows;
II favor the location OF the Farmers
Produce Market in Southwest Wash
ington for the following reasons:
First. the Southwest Is already es.
tablished as a produce market terri
tory. The District Municipal Fish
Market, cold storage warehouses and
produce are already in existence. hav.
ing received the approval of Congress,
the District government and other In.
terested parties. In fact, statistics of
the Department OF Agriculture and
other reliable sources show that 81
per cent OF the inbound perishabIe
shipments arrive in Southwest Wash
ington.
by six railroads, namely, the Penn
sylvania, the Chesapeake & Ohio. the
Southern Railway. the Richmond.
Fredericksburg and Potomac, the At
lantic Coast Line and the Seaboard
Airline.
1T is also adjacent to river trans
portation. The other site contended
for, namely. lexington, is served
only by the Baltimore & Ohio and
has no waterfront facilities.
'Third. a site for the market can
be purchased in the southwest for
sum less than 100000. whereas.
the suggested sites In the northeast
would certainly cost 100000 or more.
I'm view of the above think that
Federal funds should not be appro-
priated to finance removal OF this
established market district TO the
northeast in the interest of any set of
individuals. railroads, real estate
spectators or other interested
parties.
