FOLEY, Local Manager, UIBLE SITUATION - AFFECTED BY WAR Westermn Unién_(fibfiny Expiains D.fcuities of SendingMessages. New York, Aug. 14.—The status of | the Western Uniom Telegraph com- ‘pany’s cable situatien resulting from the European war described by the ¢ompany in detail shows that the Western Union has no telegraphic €onnection with Germany, Austria and | Hungary, while all the cables leading to the other countries in the theater Of war are subject to rigid censorship. British Dictate Rules, | Unusual requirements regulating ihe sending of such messages as the company is willing to accept have been tated by the. British military au- thorities, it was stated, and messages | shich do not conform to the require- ments will ot be passed by the mili- tary censors who have been placed in all the cable stations in British ter- ritory. Code language in cablegrams 1o the affected countries is barred itogether and undoubtedly will be, he company bhelieves, until the war is over. Asks for Modification. Through every available channel he Western Union is endeavoring to | | obtain a. substantial modification what it describes as ‘‘the existing bur- densome restrictions which seemingly have unnecessarily been imposed by the British authorities.”- These re- strictions include the - requirement that full address, including street and number, must be given, and all mes- sages must.be signed. with full names of senders. .This requirement, the company declares, augments the lerngth of the messages and greatly in- creases the cost to the public, but is necessary if the messages are to get through. Messages are accepted at scnder’s risk as censors withhold all information in reference to those sup- pressed. "Traflic Reasonably Prompt. The Western Union stated that not- withstanding the abnormal conditions, traffic was being disposed of over its eight cables with reasonable prompt- ness, delays incident to censorship ex- cepted. Beyond London the service is'| slow but fairly reliable except to the three countries for which no messages are accepted. Code and other messages to Cuba, Hayti, San Domingo. (via all cable route), Central and South America, except British Honduras, Brazil and British Guiana, and to Honolulu, the Philippine Islands, Japan and China, except Hong Kong and points reached through Hong Kong, are ac- cepted as usual. Code messages for Brazil for all-cable transmission must be routed via Baires and west- ern at a temporary rate of 75 cents more per word than the rate to Buenos Aires. % of Messages to all other countries or places must be written in plain Eng- lish or French language; except to Switzerland and Turkey, where plain French language only can be used. 4 Some Services Suspended. The suspension by the" British Telegraph .system and the Western Union’s other connections beyond London of the .deferred ' plain lan- guage and the cable letter . and week-end letter services, has made it necessary to suspend . those ser- vices—except to Great Britain and Ireland, in which the Western Union is able to serve all points through its own offices in Great Britain and except to Cuba, Argentine, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, where these supplementary services to the extent that they had pre- viously been available, have not been interfered with. With. a view to minimizing the inconvenience to the public which would result from the complete withdrawal of these sup- plementary services, the company ‘is continuing them as far as practic- able; and all transatlantic mes- i sages taken at reduced rates for the present are subject to whatever de- lay may be”involved in their unlim- ited deferment to full paid messages on hand. The company said that the British military censor will not pass mes- sages making inquiry in reference to the disposition or delivery ot mesrages, nor will they pass service messages calling for the repetition of certain words. Mistakes, whether occurring in transmission or other- wise, therefore can be corrected or information as to the delivery of messages developed only by the ex- change of paid messages directly be- tween senders and addrassees.

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 14.—"“There has been much in my life that I don’t want to think of—would to God I could forget it. Years before I quit the old life I was as tired of it as the other people.” The speaker was Frank James, modern Robin Hood, brother of Jesse James, the outlaw, and at pres- ent a berrypicker at Edgewood, Wash, The place was G. W. Glazebrook’s grocery store in Tacoma. “We got into it, and it was our lives against money,” said James. [ “Suffer! We have been hungry with our pockets full of money. We have teen hunted like the wolves of the prairie. | “I could not write the history of | my life in five years. I have only a short time to live, anyhow, and money is no more to me than dust under my feet.” “The first I knew that Frank James was in this part of the country,” sald Mr. Glazebrook, the grocer, ‘“was when I received a crate of berries | with ‘F. E. James’ written on the end. T asked Mr. Hildgren, the rancher, ! ‘aktout it, and he said he would take | {me out to see James any time I ; wanted to go. H Started by Killing of Father. “We found James sitting in the door of his cabin, dressed like a logger. As we came close he stood up. ‘I am very glad to see you, sir,’ he said as Mr. Hildgren introduced me. After a while Mr. Hildgren left. I told him | I was from Kentucky and he seemed to know how to take me then. “I asked him how he got started in | the old career as a bandit. He sald it was the abuse he had received at | the hands of the men who had killed his father—all through suspicion they were harboring southern soldiers. He said he and Jesse ‘got’ twenty-one of them and that God Almighty got the other, “Settled” the Detectives. “After six detectives, as James calls them, had thrown a bomb into their house, killing his vounger brother and v/ounding his mother, the James boys | men. They asked them what they would do if they met the James boys. “‘We would stick them on the end of our guns,’ the men replied, “‘You are talking to Jesse James right now and that is my brother, Frank, standing there’ said Jesse. ! They pleaded for their lives, but the James boys told them they had shown no mercy to their brother or their mother. “Frank James smiled when telling of the detectives. ‘They thought all they had to do was to come over here, put up on their shoulders ana tell us to come along,’ he said. ‘They never got back.’ “Of all their ‘work’, Frank James considers the Northfield robbery the biggest. Two banks were ‘lifted’ and more than $80,000 in cash taken. The | two Cobb brothers and a man named Mitchell lost their lives. Jim Younger was seriously Injured and Frank | James lost the most of his hand, Deciined to Join Bank Robbery. “Jesse James was killed by Bob | Ford in September of 1882, while | hangjng up a picture of himself and , Frank in their house. Frank surren- dered in October, 1882, and after two i years was released on parole. | “Several years later, disguised as a | cowboy, he met Bob Ford in a Kan- sas City dance hall. He offered to treat the crowd and stepped up to the bar. Ten dollars was lald down on the counter. Ford returned $2. Frank James told him who he was. What followed is a matter of history. “James told me that when he was in Tacoma two vears ago some men | asked him to take charge of hlow- ing the safes of the National Bank of Commerce and the Fidelity Trust company’s bank. ‘T told them.' said | James, ‘that T did not want to have { anvthing to do with the work: that I had never been in it for money and that I had given all ago.’ “James always speaks of his ad- ventures as ‘being on the trail.’ He says that instead of using masks they had a dark stain_ After the job was over they removed the stain quickly and changed clothes, often joining in the pursuit of the bandits.
