AS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
"A aboard the cruiser Houston was
nearing Hawaii he took time to an
nounce the membership of the ma
tional mediation board for the settle
ment of railroad disputes. The men
he appointed are:
william NJ. Leiserson, Yellow
Springs, Ohio, for the term ending
February, 1886.
James w. Carmalt, Washington, D..
c., for the term ending February, 1885.
John Carmody, now chief engineer
of the federal emergency relief admins
tration, for the term ending February,
1886.
The President also named Murray
Latimer chairman of the railroad
retirement board, created by a recent
act Of congress.
MOSCOW has finally realized that
1V1 it cannot get trade credits in the
United States until it in some way
squares up the old czarist debts owed
in this country. Therefore Ambassa-
dor Troyanovsky and Secretary of
State Hull have begun preliminary
conversations on the subject, at the
instance of the Soviet government.
Russia owes the United States gov
eminent 1897, 100000 which this coun-
try lent to the czarist and Kerensky
governments during the war. The
Reds repudiated these debts when
they seized control of Russia. The
Roosevelt administration has firmly re-
fused trade credits to the Soviet gov
eminent until some sort of an agree
ment Is reached on these debts. AL
though the Reconstruction Finance
corporation has had an export-import
bank set up for months to finance Rus
sian trade, not single loan has been
made. Under terms of the Johnson
act, which prevents new American
loans to foreign debt defaulters, the
bank has held that it cannot extend
credit to Russia.

his men in this final and successful eff
fort to get Dillinger, dead or alive. The
outlaw had sought to disguise himself
by having his face lifted and his hair
dyed and by growing short mustache.
His finger tips. also, had been treated
with acid. His Identification, however,
was immediate and certain.
1t was credibly reported that a wom-
an had given the tip that resulted in
the killing of Dillinger, but naturally,
her name was not made public, for five
members of his gang are still at large
and might be expected to avenge their
leader. The informant is due to re-
ceive at least considerable share Of
the rewards offered by the govern
ments Of the United States, Indiana
and Minnesota for information leading
to the capture or death of Dillinger.
These rewards total $4,000.
Attorney General Cummings in
Washington was elated by the news of
Dillinger's death. He warmly praised
the work of Mr.. Purvis and his men,
who had devoted most of their time
for four and a half months to the
elimination of the desperate.
Three Of the Dillinger gang besides
the leader have been killed in battle
with the law. Eight others are in pris-
on, two of them under sentence of
death.

 Opening of a safe just by the fingers, with the ears primed Tor the slightest click of the tumblers is one of the hardest feAts in the confirmed criminals repertoire. It entails skill and patience almost beyond belief, for safe cracking "a la Jimmy Valentine" is feat that merits the highest admiration in the underworld.
 Fingcrprint Clues Unreveaied
 With the police department car rying on it's investigation quietly. It is not known whether or not any fingerprints were found on the safe or in the office. It was reported, but Is without confirmation, that Cap tain Dan Carson, head of the vice squad and fingerprint expert of the local police department. made a careful study of the premises in a search for any possible prints left by the safecraekers.
 The $2,50O in cash can readily be passed by the burglars without any fear of detection, for the bills were of both large and small denoniHa- tions and, since many of them had only come to the office Thursday night, were not listed by number. Attempts to cash any of the cheeks whose total value is from $500 to $7O0, might get the criminals into difficulties.
 Building Closely Studied
 A close study of the Armour Company building and offices must have been made before the burg lary was pulled off. After opening the window. the burglars ap- preached the safe directly and started work on the combination of the outside door. Nothing else in the building was disturbed and even the safe, until it was opened Friday morning, gave no indication that it had been cracked open by thieves during the early morning hours.

 Theaters are expected to drop in number, apparently. The esti- mated income from theaters for 1884 was $650. The 1885 budget sets up an Income of $500 from this source. Fees for the storage and sale of explosives are also lower for the coming years financial slate.

 In the 1884 budget the estimated income from slot machines was set at $S50. The figure in the 1y36 budget is $500. The comfort star ton is expected to bring the city $50 more next year while the dog licenses are believed destined to bring drop of $1,000 in income. Hunters and fishermen's licenses are scheduled to stay the same, ac- cording to the financial picture shown by the budget while mar- riage license fees will show an in crease in income during 1885.

 The cash and checks, which were receipts from collections made by the packing company, were placed in the safe at the close ot business Thursday night. The safe, a substantial and heavy one, was then locked, both doors closed very carefully.
 The opening of the safe must have been accomplished from all indications by criminal or cr1m- inals who are highly familiar with the mechanism of the combina- tions. The outside of the safe was not tempered with, and the huge doors must have been opened with the greatest care and pre- cision. 1t must have been, ap- parently, by means of what the criminal world calls the sensitive touch"

 There is a difference between priest preaching the principles of social justice. and his attempts to apply the principles through political or other means. No priest has a right to speak for the entire church, nor commit the church to his policies.

 To guide them in the search, au- thorities obtained fingerprints from Dr Bigelow's service records of the World war, in which he was a cap- tain. Hospitals were asked to fin- gerprint all amnesia victims so
 these records might be compared
 with the doctors prints Police were reluctant as regards the offering of a reward, pointing out that this might serve merely to
 swell the flood of worthless clues already hampering the hunt. President Nathaniel T. Kidder of the hospital trustees said Dr Bige- lows relations with the trustees and his fellow officials had been
 amicable.
 There have been no differences of opinion about the management
 of the hospital--none whatsoever
