passing through the railroad cut

car, one of which the robber forced

oniy a few packages within, none
¢f which held money.
Unable to Get Into Other Safe.
Then he turned his attention to the
cther, but to that Freeman held no
key, and with difficulty succeeded in
convineing the robber of that fact.
Thus thwarted, the bandit swung
off the car as the train gatherad
speed at the cutskirts of the city,
and escaped.
How the man gained entrance to
the car is yet a mystery. He is be
lieved to have got aboard in the local
yvards or in the cut at Lincoln street.
His entrance was a breathless sur
prise to the messenger, who alone of
the train crew was confronted,

man informed Conductor Kenneth of
the incident. The train was stopped,

stirred until the train crew telegrapii
ed from ‘“mden that nothing of
value had been taken and that tne
mail was #ntouched. ”
Upon wepert of the robbery the lo
cal pclice heads went to the seene,
but were unable to fiad any clews.

Lhiave been in the vicinity of the place
where the holcup ‘occurred say they
saw the man as he jumped from tne
platform of the express train, but
the police failed to fifd anything
tangible in the rumeors,

ROME, March 28.--Judge Joe!
Eranham, with the experience of 75

points. Furthermere, he says his

considerable class for the militant
danseuse from the North,

Californian Declares Visits of
Earl Grey's Secretary to White
House Changed Policy.
WASHINGTON, March 28.—The
sensation of to-day's debate on Pres
ident Wilson's bill for the repeal of
the free tolls clause of the Panama
Canal act was a speech by Represen
tative Knowland, of California. He
cited dates of alleged secret visits to
President Wilson made by Sir Ed
ward Tyrrell, private cecretary to the
British Foreign Minister, and guoted
concurrent facts to prove that the Ad.
ministration’'s policy of requiring
American coastwise ships ot pay tolls
through the canal had been formed
since the date of those visits,
Representative Knowland then at
tacked Secretary Bryan and quoted
from a speech made at Washingin
Park, Pa., on May 13, 1913, in which
Mr. Brvan upheld the sacredness of a
party platform. Mr, Knowland con
cluded by saluting Sir Edward Grey
as “the greatest diplomat eof the age.”
The galleries were jammed with «n
interested, expectant throng. Mauy
had come hoping to hear Speaker
Clark in the speech which his friends
believe will change many wavering
votes, but that effort is being reserved
for the last hours of the debate. Mr,
Clark’'s speech probably will be made
next Tuesday.
Rumors of Compromise. .
The danger of a party split that
can not be healed has given rise to
rumors of compromise. Several
plans to this end are being discussed
to-night. One of these plans is that
proposed by Senator J. Hamilton
Lewis, of Illinois, who to-day intro
duced a bill repealing the free tolls
clause, but giving the President au
thority to remit tolls for American
ships whenever he should deem it ex
pedient, This bill, however, is not
acceptable to either side.
Next to Representative Knowland's
speech the effort of Representative’
Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, attracted the
most attention in to-day’'s display of
oratorical firewgrks. Mr. Fitzgerald's
speech was a studied and schelarly
argument that the free passage «f
coastwise shil»s through the canal is
not in violation of any treaty. He
reviewed the history of American
shipping and quoted from eminent
British authorities in support of his
position.
Repregentative O'Shaunessy, of
Rhode Island, aroused some applause
when he said:
“It is claimed that free tolls is in
the interest of a shipping monopoly.
The law declares all monopoly to be
illegal. 1f there is such a monoypoly,
why is it not prosecuted? Al
branches of the Government are in
the hands of the Democrats. With
such a monopoly destroyed, this ar
gument would fail.”
Englishmen Like Stevens’' Speech.
Representative Stevens, of Minne
sota, made the strongest argument of
the day in behalf of the President’s
bill. Two kKnglish newspaper writers
who were present were so impressed
by it that they hastened over to com=
gratulate him,
