Robbers Carry Out Their Dar
ing Plan With All the Reck
lesness of Regular Dime
Novel Heroes
GRASD FORKS, N. D., July 30—Train
No. 30, eastbound “North Coast Limited*’
on the Northern Pacific railroad was
held up by three masked robbers near
Buffalo. N. D.. about 11 o'clock last
night.
The robbers secured about in cash
by going through the passengers and
shot Engineer 8- P. Olson, of Fargo,
twice In order to make him stop the
train, and made a successful escape in
an automobile which they had awaiting
them near the scene of the robbery.
The performance as executed was one
of the most daring ever perpetrated In
thia part of the country, and showed
that the men were not amateurs, as ev
erything was cleverly planned and ad
mirably executed.
When the train stopped at the high
bridge at Valley City the three men
boarded 'it and went Into the day coach.
Heavily anped and shooting recklessly
in order to inutpldate the passengers
they first lined the train crew up at one
end of the car and then proceeded to
search the passengers in the day coach
one by one. In all they secured about
t6£O from this part of their robbery - .
SHOT THE ENGINEER.
Then the sleeping car was entered and
in order to awaken the occupants of the
berths a shot was fired down the cen
ter aisle narrowly missing the head of
one of the passengers and imbedding it
self in the woodwork.
After searching the occupants of the
berths they climbed out the diner over
the baggage and express car to the en
gine. reach mg that part of the train
when near Buffalo They ordered Engi
neer Olson to stop the train so they
could get off anu when he refused to
comply with their wishes two shots were
fixed directly at ntm, one glancing off
bls w---. and he other striking him on
a rib, injuring him slightly.
After being wounded and seeing that
the men were desperate Engineer Olson
stopped the train and the three men.
who were all mask'ed with polka dot
handkerchiefs, jumped quickly from the
train and ran into the darkness.
Engineer v.son, who is one of the old
est engine pilots on the system, was
brought into Fargo with the train and
U reetlnj easily at his home there
escaped IN AL’TO.
After leaving the train the robbers
went to gn au.omoblle which they had
waiting nearby, and drove off into the
darkness.
The train was runWto Fargo, where
the sheriff, every available deputy and
three deputy United States marshals
hurried back oa a special train to pur
sue the robbers.
Posses also started out 15 minutes af
ter the news of the robbery was received
and every surrounding town and city in
the northwest was telephoned or tele
graphed to look out for the robbers.
The express and mail cars were not
molee'ed by the men.
It is not known what amount the ears
contained. but usua"y the North Coast
iimf.e 1 carries a considerable amount of
money snd it is thought the men took
• longer in going through the day coaches
than they had planned or they would
* have tried to blow up the express safe
and rifle the registered mat! pouebea
A
nickel steel and bronze. The heaviest of
them weighs 1,488.700 pounds—7so tons.
The contract for the canal gates calls
for 92 of these great leaves, varying
from 47 feet 4 inches to 82 feet in height.
It will take 00,000 tons of steel to make
these gates, and they will cost Uncle
Sam $5,374.82.

BAILEY SAYS BRYAN
IS IMPUDENT AND IS
ABAMMBERTOO
Peerless Leader Is Presump
tuous in Arrogating to Him
self Right to Pass on Presi
dential Possibilities
• _
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.) •
WASHINGTON. D. C., July 20 -Senator
Bailey thinks the questions propounded
*>y W. J. Bryan to Democratic candidates
and prospective candidates for the presi
dential nomination are impudent.
"Mr. Bryan's attempt to subject all
candidates for the Democratic presidential
nomination to his examination is an ex
hibition of impudence unparalleled, even
In his career.
"When he assumes that no man is eligi
ble for that high honor who does not
agree with him, and that he can eliminate
every candidate who refuses to be cate
chised by him, or whose answers do not
accord with his viqws, be is impudent.
Remembering that he has been three
times the presidential nominee of our
party, and that each defeat was more
decisive than the preceding one, any man
except Mr. Bryan would not only modest
ly distrust his own eligibility as a can
didate, but would likewise distrust his
capacity to select a successful one.
"But the truth is, and Democrats might
as well face it, that Mr. Bryan does not
intend for our party to enercise its own
judgment, either in selecting a candidate
or in making a platform if he can pre
vent it; and he Intends to force his pe
culiar views both as to men and as to
measures upon us; or else he probably in
tends to bolt our nomination for the pres
idency next year, just as he bolted the
Democratic nomination for governor in
his own state last year.
"I would be glad to see Mr. Bryan cor
dially support our ticket, just as I would
be glad to see it receive the cordial sup
port of every other man. but Mr. Bryan
must be made to understand that the
Democratic party will not be dominated
by him or by any other single individ
ual.”
When asked for an opinion. Senator
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi,
smiled and walked back to the senate
chamber. .
PIGS PROVE POOR
GARBAGE CONSUMERS
i
NEW HAVEN. Conn., July 30.-The
' system of muncipa! collection of garb
age as tried out here for the last six
i months has proved a rather costly ven
ture. The total expense has been at the
rate of $54,000 a year, the greater por
’ tion of which represents investment in
Pigs.
The pigs were purchased at the »ug-
I gestlon of the city fathers with the
, thought that they could he fed on the
garbage collected and after being fat
; tened, disposed of at a profit. But the
' pig idea has been a decided failure and
i there seems little Indication of the ex-
I pected profit. Os the money ttus ex
pended only one-fifth has gone for the
actual collection of garbage, the care of
the pigs accounting for the balance.

PAUL B. TRAMMELL
VISITS ITUUfII AND
CONFERS WITH GOV.
His Friends Are Enthusiastic
Over His Candidacy—Dalton
Argus, Which Supported
Brown, Strong for Him
Paul B. Trammell, of Dalton, who ie
being boomed as a candidate for gov
ernor, to succeed Governor Smith, came
to Atlanta Wednesday, held a confer
ence with the governor, whose cam
paign he managed, and consulted with
many of h.c frienas In the legislature.
He had no statement to make concern
ing his probable candidacy, but *ius
friends about the capitol waxed enthu
siastic In talking of it. He may have
a statement after the mass meeting of
Dalton citlsc a next Friday night.
The Trammell boom is growing fast
and taking definite shape, if the a.u
tude of hi a friends is a fair index.
They believe that Mr. Trammell is the
man to wipe out factional differences
in Georgia politics, and they regard ef
forts to side-tracK -the Daiton man by
urging him for the railroad commis
sion, as an evidence that his strength is
generally recognized by the friends of
other announced and prospective candi
dates.
REASONS CITED
In support of their claim that Mr.
Trammell Is the man to reunfte the
factions of the Georgia Democracy,
his friends point to the attitude of the
Dalton Argus, which has consistently
supported Governor Brown. The Argus
is outspoken in its advocacy of Mr.
Trammell as a candidate for governor.,
Here is an extract from a recent edi
torial by Editor Hartsell:
"We notice many papers in the state
advocate wiping out the o<d political
line-up. Some claim the way to bring
this about is by nominating Joe Brown.
We don’t agree. We have always been
a strong advocate of Little Joe, but
Hoke Smith beat him for the term, and
a Smith man is entitled to serve the
term out. Our position is:' Keep any
Brown man out of the race. Det the'
Smith men have the field. . . Turn
the general election over to a bunch of
Smith men, and it s dollars to dough
nuts that Trammell will win.”
Aside from its sunoort of Trammell,
the attitude of the Daily Argus is indi
cative of a general sentiment opposed
to the candidacy of former Governor
Brown. Than the Dalton Daily Argus
and Editor Hartsell Governor Brown
never had, in either of his campaigns,
a warmer supporter, yet they are now
opposed to his making the race.
In suggesting that the field be left
entirely to Smith men, the Argus says
this would make a primary unnecessary
and save much expense. It would oe
possible to have the .whole question set
tled in the special election, to be called
by Acting Governor Slaton.
ENCOURAGES SEATON MEN.
While the suggested abandonment of
a primary has not met with a quick re
sponse, the Argus’ argument against the
candidacy of the former governor has
been well received. Friends of Presi
dent John M. Slaton, of the senate, seem
especially well pleased with the sug
gestion. They believe it is corroborative
of their view that there Is less and less
demand for the candidacy of the former
governor, Increasing in like proportion
the chances of Mr. Slaton’s entering the
race.
The Slaton men agree that factional
differences should be wiped out in Geor
gia. and they assert that Mr. Slaton is
the man to accomplish this.
Judge Richard B. Russell, candidate
for governor, plans to make a whirlwind
campaign of the state in an automobile,
according to the latest report. The
Judge will visit every section of Geor
gia before the date of the primary,
it is said, and an automobile will make
It possible to address voters at every
city, town, village and cross roads in
the state.
RUSSELL AT DUBLIN.
The judge himself announced Wed
nesday morning that he would prob
ably open his campaign at Dublin, Lau
rens county, next Wednesday. His
friends down there are anxious for hin>
to come, and he may accept their in
vitation.
It was learned Wednesday morning
that notices have been sent out for a
meeting of Judge Russell’s friends, to
be held in Atlanta Thursday or Friday.
The judge himself did not care to dis
cuss this report when seen Wednesday.
He admitted, however, that he does in
tend to advise with some friends before
making his formal announcement.
A rumor that Judge Russell will an
nounce for local option in his platform
and elaborate upon this issue in his
first speech is without confirmation. The
judge himself has not discussed this
question, but close friends declare that
he will announce for local option only
in the event he is forced to do so. He
himself, they assert, does not care to
raise the issue.
LOCAL OPTION TALK.
In connection with the talk of a local
option candidate, it is asserted 'that
should former Governor Brown make the
race he, too, will stand for local option,
or, at least, a substantial modification ol*
the state prohibition law. His last mes
sage to the legislature has been con
strued to indicate a predisposition in this
direction, and particular reference is
made to his recommendation for the re
peal of laws that cannot be enforced.
This reference, it is claimed, was aimed
at the prohibition enactments.
Col. J. Pope Brown spent Wednesday
at his Atlanta home, revising the speech
he is to deliver at Waycross on Satur
day, informally launching his campaign.
Col. Thomas G. Huuson, commisssioner
of agriculture, whose friends continue to
boom him for governor, was ill Wed
nesday mornlnfg, and did not come to the
capitol. /
Neiuier Rep. J. H. Hall, of Bibb, Attor
ney General Felder nor Comptroller Gen
eral Wright, all of whom are regarded
as prospective candidates, had any state
ments for the press Wednesday. They
are watching the line-up and awaiting
developments before declaring them
selves.

By a vots of 38 to 4 the anti-lobbjtag
bill of Senator W. J. Harris of the :»th '
district passed the senate Thursday
morning, and, although the opposition
was numerically small, it waged prob
ably the hottest fight of the session.
Senators Ennis and Crawfecd were the
only ones who spoke in opposition to
the bill. Os the other two voting against ■
the measure, one explained tha he voted
no because he did not understand the
bill. '
The bill requires every attorney or
agent for any special interest to'tile ■
with the secretary of state the nam>» of
the firm represented and why ho is em
ployed and also to file an itemized ac
count of his expenditures. The measure
prohibits lobbyists from going on the
floor of either branch of the legislature,
but allows them to appear before com
mittees.
This is one of the important reform
measures advocated by Governor Smith,
which he failed to get enacted during his
first administration.
Senator E. A. Copelan moved that the
bill be tabled temporarily, because, he
s'jid, he thought that fully twothtrds
of the senators are not familiar with its
contents, and that copies should be
printed for their information. Thia mo
tion was lost.
One of the longest debates of ths
present session of the senate ensued.
Senator Harris defended bls bill by as
serting that the people want the bill and
have wanted it for years and asserted
that the anti-lobbying bill has been
killed before through politics and un
fair legislation. He said that it ha«
been charged that the senate of Geor
gia was controlled by corporations and
that this bill would go far toward mak
ing this impossible.
Senator W. H. Ennis of the 42d op
posed the bill, saying that it was "im
perfect and ridiculous and a reflection
on the senate.” He didn’t believe he
said, that bills had been killed in the
senate through the influence of corpor
ations.
Senator Emmett Shaw of the 11th
spoke in defense of the bill saying that
the state Is cursed by men whose busi
ness is not known to the public.
Senator W. H. Crawford of the 3<th
took sides with the opposition on the
grounds that the present law is am
ple and that the law would do nothing
except help fill the statute books.
The defense of the measure was con.
tinued by Senator J. E. Sheppard, of the
13th, who said that an anti-lobbying
bill is imperative and that it is general
ly conceded that the people demand the
new law.
Senator W. T. Roberts argued that
the bill would do away with underhand
legislation, and that every lobbyist
would be identified.
HERE EVEN NOW.
Senator Shaw appeared for a second
time. "Even now." he said, "I believe
that there are men within the walls of
this senate who are promoting personal
interests, but whose business Is not
known to the public.”
The previous question was called. The
bill was passed by a vote of 88 to A Those
opposing the bill were Senators Craw
ford. Ennis, Morris and Spence. Senator
Spence voted no because he said that
he did not understand the text of the
bill thoroughly enough to Indorse its
passage.
The bill of Senator Dickerson calling
for the drainage of swamp lands was ta
bled temporarily, because of the desire of
a number of the senators to familiarise
themselves with its contents.
AULT RESOLUTION.
Various matters om minor importance
were disposed of and then Senator Shep
pard, of the 13th, asked unanimous con
sent that the time for hearing the Ault
resolution, providing for an Investigation
of the department of agriculture, be set
for 12 o'clock.

die. Rosini declares he will get well,
and refuses to give any clue that .-nay
lead to the capture of his assailants. He
has proved such a marvel of vitality in
the past, having been shot on four dif
ferent occasions, that the medical jour
nals have noticed his case, and he has
appeared before several clinics.
