EXPRESS SAFE BLOWN OPEN Bandits Wreck Strong Box in Extra Car Only to Find It Empty—Fail to Enter Coach Containing the Reg- ular Express Safe. St. Paul, Sept. 13.—General Man- agér Elliott of the Great Northern Express company announces that the Great Northern Oriental limited train No. 1 was held up by two masked men cix or seven miles west of Rex- ford, Mont. The robbers crawled over the tender at that place and at the point of their guns commanded the engineer to stop the train. They then ordered the fireman to go back with them to the express car and in- structed him to tell the express mes- | senger, mail clerk and baggageman to go back into the coaches, which was done. - In the meantime the robbers kept up a continual fusillade with their guns to terrify the passengers and keep them within the coaches. After the messenger, baggageman and mail clerk had left their cars the robbers went through the malil car and robbed the sacks of a large quan- tity of registered mail. Then they went into an extra express car, which carried an overflow of mall, baggage and express and which contained a regulation through safe. This they attempted to blow open. After ex- ploding three charges the safe was opened and it was found to be empty. The robbers did not enter the regular express car in which the messenger had been riding. On finding the safe empty the high- waymen helped themselves to the registered mail and after firing a part- ing volley disappeared. The Great Northern has offered a reward of $5,000 for the arrest and ‘conviction of each of the persons con- cerned in the holdup. INFANTILE PARALYSIS. Epidemic Assumes Alarming Propor- tions in New York City. New York, Sept. 13.—The epidemic of infantile paralysis in this city is assuming alarming proportions, ac- cording to the reports of hospital physicians who have the disease un- der observation in the hope of discov- ering the germ which is supposed to be responsible for the infection. There are now under treatment in various hospitals between 300 and 400 chil- dren who have the disease well de- veloped and most of them will be hopeless cripples for the rest of their lives. The hunt for the infantile paralysis germ, which, led by Dr. J. F. Terri- chief neurologist of the hos- pital for ruptured and crippled chil- dren, began several weeks ago when the present epidemic was in its earlier stages, is still in progress. But in spite of the fact that several hundred afllicted children have been examined by the investigators the trail of the paralysis germ is blazed no more clearly than it was at first. The present epidemic began about the middle of the summer and has grown steadily. Neurologists say that it is probably at its' height and that the approachment of cooler weather will gradually lessen the rav- ages of the disease, RESULT OF COMPLAINTS. Pennsylvania Official Orders Test of Patent Foods. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 13.—Dairy and Food Commissioner Foust has sent to Professor Frear of State col- lege, one of the leading pure food experts of the country, samples of seventy-five brands of breakfast and other patent foods for analysis.

The charge was recently made to the de- partment that cornstalks are used in some of the patent foods. TO AVERT CAR SHORTAGE. American Railway Association Dis- . cussing Measures. Atlantic City, N. J, Sept. 13.— Measures to avert a repetition of the Western car famine of last winter are being discussed by the car service committee of the American Railway association at an important confer- ence here. Representatives of nearly all the important trunk lines are in attend- ance. Conferees admit that an alarm- ing shortage of rolling stock con- fronts the railroads, but refuse to state whether any line of action to avert conditibns equally as bad if not worse than prevailed last winter had been agreed upon. To Punigsh Delinquent Roads. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 13.—The state railway commission has ordered a compilation of all of the delinquencies of the various railway systems. Pen- alties may be exacted from all the roads Whose officials have made mis- takes in filling statements and re- ports. The Burlington heads the list with the omission of fourteen passes from the monthly pass list. PENDING FINAL DECISION. Pennsylvania Roads Expeoted te-Obey Rate Law. Philadelphia, Sept. 13.—Pending the final decision of the supreme court of the state on the constitutionality of the 2-cents a mile rallroad rate bill officials of the Pennsylvania railroad have not yet reached a definite con- clusion in regard to changes in the Dresent schedule of rates, Confident that the decision of the Philadelphia court will be sustained by the higher court the company is nevertheless altve to the possibliities or a reversal and, while round trip excursion and commutation rates will probably re- main as at present, it is believed that all stralght fares will be put oh a flat 2-cent basis after Oct. 1 and remain in force until the contest has been finally settled. Operating officials positively de- cline to discuss the probable outcome, but it is stated the legal department of the company will advise that the road proceed on the assumption that the law will go into effect on Oct. 1. Other roads in the state are ex- pected to follow the example of the Pennsylvania so as to avoid the pos- sibility of the heavy fines imposed by the act. With the handing down of the opinion of the supreme court the railroads will then be in a position to deal definitely with the question and either restore the present schedule, if favorable to them, or completely read- Just the rate schedules on excursion and commutation tickets. The suits instituted by other rafl- roads attacking the constitutionality of the act will probably be left un- touched until the decision of the higher court has been obtained.

New York, Sept. 1.—Ploughing through the seas at a speed never be- fore attalned by a passenger steam- ship the glant turbiner Lusitania of the Cunard line is sweeping along at 8 25-knot clip on her malden voyage to New York and a wireless message received from Cape Race, N. F., early In the day shows that she has broken all transatlantic records. If she main- tains her speed through the last 1,000 miles of her trip the hope of a four- day trlp across the Atlantic will have been realized. The Lusitania came into the wire- less zone of Cape Race at 5:20 a. m. and telegraphed that she was then 225 miles southeast of the cape, or 1,125 miles from the Sandy Hook lightship. The dispatch showed that the big ship had covered 1,665 miles of the voyage in approximately seventy hours through swelling seas and murky fogs which hindered her progress and that she had averaged a trifle better than 23% knots an hour, a speed record never before reached by a transatlan- tic steamship. Will Reach New York Friday. The Lusitania is expected to flash by the red hulled lightship off Sandy Hcok about 1 o’clock Friday morning, which would make the time of the voyage about 4 days and 18 hours, more than thirteen hours better than the record trip between Queenstown and New York of 5 days, 7 hours and 26 minutes made by the Lucania of the Curard line in 1894. The Lusitania’s maiden voyage promises also to wrest the title of the queen of the seas from the Deutsch- land of the Hamburg-American line. The Deutschland made a voyage from Cherbourg to New York in 1903 in & days, 11 hours and 54 minutes over a course of 3,054 miles at an average speed of 23.15 knots. With clearing weather indicated the big Cunarder should make the last stretch of her veyage at top speed and officials of the company say when the Lusitania edges her way through the new Am- brose channel all transatlantic steam- ship records will have been broken and that a new era in the maritime world will have begun. DROP IN COAL PRODUCTION Pennsylvania Mines Unable to Supply Demand.. Philadelphia, Sept. 1\—Anthracite and bituminous operators say that the coal situation is growing serious throughout the state and it is freely predicted that before midwinter there will be a famine in many cities. The supply of water has already be- come a serious problem in the anthra- cite region. The Reading company is compelled to send between thirty-five and forty tank cars of water to its collieries daily to keep them in opera- tion. The labor supply has been be- low normal several weeks. Unless there is considerable rain it may be necegsary to suspend operations at some coliferies, it is declared.” The labor problem is serious in the bituminous fields of the state. Cen- tral Pennsylvania operators are ad- vertising for miners and agents are scouring the country for miners for the Pittsburg district. Both anthra- clte and bituminous operators are selling coal from stored stocks to sup- ply the demand. PEACE NEGOTIATIONS FAIL Moorish Tribesmen in the Interior Re- fuse to Join Movement.
