BAMDITS TAKEN T0 PRISON Five Train Robbers Sent to Leaven- worth Heavily Manacled. QFFICIALS FEAR THEIR ESCAPE ) ake No Chances on Keeping Them in Omaha & Day Longer Than in Necesnsry After Thelr Comvietion. Manacled hand and foot and chained to one anothep, the five Union Pacific bandits renteficed to life Thursday by Judge T. C.| Munger, were taken to Leavenworth Fri-| duy morning to begin thelr terms In the | federal prison. | Secret plans were made by Sheritf | Brailey and L. W. Wakeley, general pas- senger agent of the Burlington route, to get the prisoners out of town without at- tracting attention. The men did not know until ‘a few minutes before leaving the county Jall that they were to take their last train ride before beginning their life wentences. Mr. Wakeley ordered a special coach attached to the Builington trajin leaving the statfon at 9:15 o'clock. Employes at the depot even did not know for what pur- pose the was to be used. The auto patrol was used to convey the prisoners and their guards to the tratn and the men were hustied aboard the coach without at- tractipg attentlon. The special car was coupled up between the baggage car and smoker and the doors locked to prevent passengers from entering. Three officers sat down with the prisoners, cigars were passed and the party was en- | gaged In conversation as the train pulled | out of the station. An officer was placed at each door of the car and & brakeman was also on duty in the coach to act In case of emergency. he local authorities here were anxions £: they be rushed to prison, as the recent empt to break Jail showed they wére Jesperate men, The Dprisoners were In charge of five officers, all well armed. The officers were Sheritf E. ¥. Bralley, Deputy United States Marshals John Sides, Logan Sammons and Claude Hinsell and k‘ tective Devereese. Give Away Thelr Effects.

Woolls remarked he would have no fur- ther use for his overcoat and safety rasor and asked the sheriff to give them fo a friend In the jail, who would probably noed them. As an additional precaution against any attemipt at escape, two of the officers ac- companying the prisoners as guards wer armed with automatie shotguns loaded with buckshet' cartridges.

Sketch of His Career. Richard Watson Gilder early showed his | bent for letters. Born at Berdentown, J. in 1544, one ef eight chidren, he was | writing, setting the type for and publish- |ing the St. Thomas Register at Flushing Long Island, when he was 13 years old Four years later he united with (we youilg colleagues in the produetion of & campaign newspaper supporting Bell and Evarts for presidential honors. His interest in poli- tics rried him into the great civil strug- gle then raging. While still in his teens he enlisted with Landis' Philadeiphia bat- tery and served during the campaign of 183, when Pennsylvania was invaded by the confederate forees. The death of his father cut short & sub- sequent movitiate in the law, and, thrown Glider was resting | on his own resources, the young man be- came first & rellway paymaster and later an editor once more. In “My Journalistic Experiences,” he tells how his dutles as editer of the Newark Morning Register, a dally, and “Hours at Home," & New York menthly, published by the Scribners, proved too exacting for his strength. Moreover, the Register was losing money, he wrote, “just as fast as & newspaper can lose money, which is faster than anything «lse in the world.” He soid out his interest, but the ac- | Christmas Wreath” realized | had only & tew hours to| quaintances he made stood him in good stesd, and when Scribner's Monthly was started, absorbing “Hours at Home," Mr. Glider found himself, at the age of 26, in a position of honor and high literary in- fluence. For eleven years he was man- aging editor of Scribner's, under Dr. Hol- land, and when at Dr. Holland's death the magazine underwent a further reorganiza- tion and a change of ownership, Mr. Gil- der became in 181 editor-in-chiet of the Century Magazine, a position he had until his death. Better known as a poet even than editor, Mr. Glider has published six books of verse, among which are sonnets and lyrics which have found a setting in the Ameri- can enthology, and have been rated by critics as sure to pass Into the herit of the language. His best works ar “The Celestial Passion,” “Lyrics,’ "Two Worlds,” “The Great Remembrance,” “In Palestine,” “Poems and Inscriptions,” “A and “A Book of Music.” GIRL FRIGHTENS BANDITS WITH TICKET PUNCH Cashier at Elevated Station Chicago Saves Day’'s Receipts by Ruse.

French Budget is Increased Forty Millions Socialist Blames Naval Armaments for Growth of Taxation in France and Great Britain, PARIS, Nov. 19.—France, like England and Germany, 18 having its budgeiary crisis. More than $40,000,000 additional tax- ation iy carried in the pending budget, the new taxes being principally levied on au- tomobiles, tobacco, wines and Inheritances. In the last mentioned there is an increase of $10,000,000 over last year. Much opposttion has developed and the liquor interests have already taken part in one big public demonstration. Many deputies shrink from meeting thelr consti- tuents in the coming elections. Neverth |less the cabinet remains firm, contending that pending schemes for workmen's pen- slons and other popular measures involve expenditures which should be met by tax- ation and not by loans, and has decided to demand a vote of confidence next week M. Juares, leader of the socialists In the Chamber of Deputies, today laid the re- sponsibllity for the present European budget crises upon the crushing ‘“peace armaments” being maintained owing to rivalry between Great Britaln and Ger- many.
