PAGE TWELVE $50,000 HAUL IS MADE BY POSTOFFICE HOLDUPS ENGINEER olVE LIVES Ot TRAIN CREW IN TUNNE Throws Engine in Reverse Before Losing Consciousness and Train Backs Out of Death Trap (Special to The Tribune) EVANSTON, ,Wyo., April 4.—The presence of mind of Engineer Ray Bird of a Union Pacific freight train in reversing his engine when he felt himself succumbing to gas in the Aspen :tunnel, cast of here, the long- est bore on the Union Pacific, saved the lives of the train crew. Conductor Tom Nelson, Fireman Sigler and Brakemen Glenn and Sackett were overcome by the gas before Bird lost consciousness but all quickly were re- vived by the fresh air when, the train backed out of the tunnel and the train Was brought to a stop without acci- dent. Fifteen hogs on the train were asphyxiated. The accident was similar to one re- cently in Sherman tunnel, near Chey- enne, when an entire train and engine crew were overcome and the train proceeded some distance with an un- conscious crew before the fireman ral- lied sufficiently to bring it to a stop, The accidents, it is said by railroad men, are due to the heavy tonnage of trains now being run, this resulting in low speed and greater <xpulsion of gas by locomotives, and consequentiy greater peril in tunnels for the train crews. DECISIONS ARE MADE IN THREE LEADING CASES Colorado Supreme Court Wipes| Out “Recall of Decisions” | Amendment; Mining Af- | fected by Interest | (By Associated Press.) | DENVER, April 4.—The Colorado supreme’ court today handed down three of the most important decisions mado by that body in years. In two the court wiped out the greater part of the “recall of decisions” amendment to the state constitution passed in 1912, while in the third it held that “coal mining is affected*by Publle fe] terest’ contrary to a ruling of His-| trict Judge Charles C. Butler in an| injunction suit brought by the state! against members of the United Mine! Workers of, America who went on| strike two y@irs ago, | The “recall of decisions” amendment prohibited all’ trial courts from hold-| ing state statutes and city charters| contrary to either state or federal con-| stitutions. In one of the cases the Western Union ‘Telegraph company was prose- cuted by the state under the anti- coercion act for discharging George Hoison, a telegraph operator, because he refused to withdraw from the Commercial ‘Telegraphers’ union. In the other Alfred EB, Max was prose-| cuted for practicing medicine without | @ license. | It was contended by the telegraph company that the act was contrary to the constitution of the United States. Judge Denison, in the district court here, sustained the contention and the supreme court decision today af- firmed the judgment on the ground| that the same act in Kansas was so| held by the supreme court of ‘United States, Max claimed the act under which he was prosecuted was contrary to| the state constitution. Judge Henry J. Hersey in the Denver district court, dismissed the case on the ground that he had no power to consider the de-| fense, The supreme court today held otherwise and also held the medical! board act was constitutional. It re-| versed the case. the| Burke wrote both Justice H. P. opinions. ‘She two cases were taken to the supreme court by the district attor-| ney under a special statute com- manding’ him to do so. Of Judge Her- sey'’s action in dismissing the Max case, the supreme court decision said:| “In this he was in ¢rror. The limit| of a court’s jurisdiction under a writ-| ten constitution not be determined until the court first ascertains what | is and what is not the constitution. | Had the trial judge taken this step| before contemplating the second the| difficulty would have been obviated.” | In brief the two opinions interpret} the United States constitution is su- perior to the state constitution. In his decision upholding the indus- trial law which made it unlawful to dociare or cause a lockout of em- ployes on! account of a dispute prior to or during an arbitration of such disputes, Chief Justice John Campbell based his opinion on the famous Mor- gan Smelting & Mining cases. Justice Denison, who wrote opinion, commented as follows: “We must take judicial, notice of what has taken place in this and other | states and that the coal industry is vitally related not only to all other industries But to the health and even| the life of the people. Food, shelter and heat, before all others are the| great necessities of life and, in mod-! life, heat means coal." DALALALALACALAL the Postmaster at Bisbee Forced to Open| Vault at Point of . Bandits Who DOUGLAS, Ariz., April 4.—(By Associated Press.)— While Postmaster L. 2. Bailey working in his office two masked the point of guns forced himi to open the postoffice vault. They escaped with about $50,000, according to information received here, $40,000 of which is said to have been in'cash. Postmaster Bailey was found at 7 o'clock this tnorning . bound and gagged, having been heaten over the head. Mr. Wailey said that shortly after 10 o'clock last night someone knocked on the door of his office in the postsffice building and that when he got up and opened the door. \wo men apparently Mexicans, and amusk- ed, held guns on him. They ov-serec him to open the vault | and before leaving assaulted him. -No clue t> the bafdits has been found. According to later reports received here the robbers took $40,000 in paper money, bound in-packages, which was intended for the payroll in Bisbee mines today. ‘The other $10,000 was in silver and gold. As Mr. Bailey opened the dodr, ac- cording to his own story, and the rob- bers did not force an entrance, leay- ing the building unmolested, officials are in the dark as to a definite clue to work upon. . Mr, Bailey has been postmaster in Bisbee for the past eight years. Dur- ing his term, R. A, Clampitt, who was assistant cashier, was given 4 prison term upon Conviction of ap- propriating $6,000 of the postoffice’s funds, and in another instance W. W. Henderson, also an assistant post- master, was cunvicted upon the dis- covery of &n alleged $1,500 shortage. WAS LARGEST OF THREE ROBBERIES. BISBEE, A April 4.—The rob- ery of the local postoffice last night when thieves secured $50,000, was the largest of the three losses sustained by the government through the -post- office here during the term of L, R. Bailey as postmaster, a position he has held for eight years. Two former assistant’ postmasters, j A. Clampitt and W. W. Hender- son, now are serving terms of one year each in federal prison for short- ages in their accounts. The former was convicted of a shortage of $6,000 and the latter of a shortage of $1,500. Ot the amount secured last night, $40,000 was in currency in packages, according to Mr. Bailey, and $10,000 was loose, part of it in gold and part in currency. Postmaster Bailey today said that he had no regular hours fot work- ing at the postoffice at night but found it necessary to go there two or three times a week at night to at- tend to his duties. He was making one of these visits to. the postoffice last night when the bandits arrived, he said, BESSIE MATEY MADE WGE-PRESDENT OF FEDERATION OF LABOR (Special to The Tribune) CHEYENNE, April 4.—Announce- ment is made at headquarters here of the Wyoming State Federation of Labor of the appointment of Miss Bessie McKinney of Casper to the of- Sce of vice-president of the federation, vice Barney Slack, resigned. ——_—_—_.>—_.
