$1,500 Loot.
KANSAS CITY, MO, May A

ed in a pistol duel on Kansas C’ity
Southern train No. 5 early to-day
during the robbery of passenger*. The
masked bandit escaped with $1,500 in
eash and jewelry. A trail of blood
left by the wounded • robber is ex
pected to lead to his < aptur**.
Jesse E. Short, Jr., a millionaire
mine owner of Joplin, Mo., is In a
Hospital in a serious condition, and
it is feared his injuries may result
fatally.
Bleeding from wounds he received
in a pistol duel with Short, the rob
ber left a trail of b^ood as he fl»*d.
Thi* enabled officers to follow his
tracks until he arrived at the Blue-
River, almost a mile from the point
where he Jumped from the train.
Here the trail stopped abruptly, and
his pursuers expressed the belief that
he continued his flight in a boat.
The train was Just pulling out of
the depot when a tall man ran out of
the darkness of the railroad yards and
climbed up the steps of the observa
tion car. He had a handkerchief over
the lower part of his* f&ce and carried
two pistols.
Oscar Allen, a negro porter, who
saw him board the train, rushed out
and ordered him away.

The robber covered him with his
pistol and said:
“I’m going to nut over a trick here.
You Ht down there and be quiet. 1
will need you.”
After the train had proceeded about
three miles tho robber ordered Allen
to go ahead of him tbruugn the train

trembled as he demanded their valu
ables, but they offered no resistance
and gave him money and Jewelry
Amounting to about $200
Preceded by the frightened negro,
the robber then entered the chair car,
where thgre were about a dozen pas
sengers, all men.
“Hold up your hands,” was the com
mand with which the robber greeted
them. The passengers readily com
plied. The bandit passed along col
lecting their money and jewelry.
Robbery of Chair Car Easy.
The robbery of the chair car was
, ;v, corn pitched within five minutes and
the surprised passengers obeyed the
final injunction of the robber to Bit
flown find remain quiet.
The Pullman car was entered next.
After robbing two passengers from
whom he secured small amounts of
money, the robber came to tin* berth
occupied by Short.
"Give me your money,” the robber
demanded in a whisper as he shook
the sleeping man. When awakened
sufficiently to realize the import of the
command. Short handed over $1,000
and a large diamond stud. As the
robber turned to leave. Short seized a
revolver and tired through the cur
tains. The robber returned the fire
and both men emptied their weapons,
each shooting blindly through th«- cur
tains, which were perforated by al
most a dozen bullets. One bullet struck
Short's forehead, another went
through an arm and a third lodged in
his knee.
Robber Leap* From Train.
Short fell back in his berth and the
jobber fled toward the rear of the
.rain. Passengers in the other cars,
aroused by the shots, followed him.
They saw him back out of the door of
the observation car and drop from
the train, which was just being
brought to a. stop. He left blood
stains In the aisles and on the car
platform and the passengers said he
appeared to be badly hurt It was
believed that two of the bullets tired
by Short struck the bandit.

Cables Wilson Thanks.
WASHINGTON, May 2.- Formal
recognition of the republic of China
was given to-day in Pc.kin to the Con
stitutional Assembly by Edward T.

Legation here. Immediately after
ward President Yuan Shi Kai ad

President of the United States.
Recognition followed upon the
formal constitution of the Chinese As

this Government a month ago as a
condition to recognition of
the (’’lines. 0 republic. The message of
recognition follows:
The Government and people of
the United States of America,
having abundantly testified their
sympathy with the people of China
upon their assumption of the at
tributes and powers of self-gov
ernment. deem ii opportune at
thie time when the representative

Of an Hour Missing
Miami Contractor Tells Washington
Police He Last Heard From Wife
While in Atlanta.
WASHINGTON, May 2.—F. M. j
Tar bell, a contractor of Miami, Fla., |
has asked the police to find hit wife,
who was a Miss Helen G. Daly, of'
Washington, and who, he says, disap
peared an hour after they were mar- j
l ied on Saturday.
Mr. Tarbell had Intended to take!
his bride with him to Atlanta, Ga., \
Saturday, but she disappeared and J
the bridegroom went to Atlanta ulone, i
where he says he received a message!
from her complaining of his cruel I
treatment.
the love of his little mistress*, “Wool
ly" is doomed to an inglorious finish—
possfbly he will form a part of a de
licious lamb stew some day. At any
rate, he must leave the apartment
house.
“Papa says Woolly makes too much
racket around here," the little girl
said, “and he says we have got to sell
him. He always bleats when I am not
with him, and papa says the people
that live in the apartment house don't
like to be woke up in the night. Wool
ly bleats all night long, most of the
time, and doesn’t stop until I give him
some cotton seed in the morning.

“I don’t see why they object to
hearing Woolly bleat in the night, i
think it’s cute.
“Nobody’s afraid of-him but the
janitor,” said Mary. “Woolly ran away
once, and the janitor wouldn’t stop
him because he was afkaid Woolly
would butt him.”
Mary and her little lamb have been
constant companions since the little
girl won the animal as a prize at the
Faster egg hunt on the Marist College
campus. It is unnecessary to say that
Woolly’s fleece is white as snow, and
everywhere that Mary went—you
know the rest.

NATCHEZ. MISS., May 2.—Pilot
Geochagan, Captain Ed Prince and
twenty negro passengers are known
to have been drowned when the
steamer Concordia sank near Clayton.
La., to-day. Considerable live stock
was lost.
There were 150 refugees from the
Black River territory on board en
route to a refugee camp here. Most
of them swam ashore or were picked
up by skiffs.
The steamer went down in view of
scores of persons marooned in their
homes, as Clayton has been inundated
since Tuesday. It struck a piece of
the bridge across the Tensas River
and sank immediately, only the
smokestacks and cabin of the vessel
being visible.
The steamer was returning from the
Black River territory of Louisiana,
which is rapidly being inundated as a
result of the crevasse in the Missis

WASHiNGTON, May 2. The shad
ow of silence Is thick upon the White
House. The atmosphere is repressed
and gloomy. A stenographic report
of all Bryan conferences with the
Governor and Legislature of Cali
fornia. with questions and answers,
have been laid before the President.
Mr. Wilson only sa.v :
“I have nothing to say. 1 can not
expected to comment upon a situa
tion so delicate.”
It is conceded at the White House
that Mr. Bryan’s mission to California
has been a complete failure.
The President declares he has done
everything possible. He now puts the
responsibility upon the Senate, an
nouncing that that body, by making
treaties and in further negotiations,
must attempt to do what he has failed
to accomplish.
Activity in War Office.
Great activity is evident at the War
and Navy Departments.
Diplomatic assurances are made
that such activity is without reference
to Japan. This* is designed to avoid
even a remote suggestion of mobiliza
tion, which would be construed as a
hostile act by Japan.
The armored cruiser South Dakota,
at^the suggestion of the State Depart
ment, has been ordered North from
Acapulco, Mexico. The armored cruis-
• r Colt ado ae order d from t he
west coast of Mexico to San Diego,
Ual. It is explained that only lesser
draft vessels are required for the Pa
cific-Mexican ports. The Annapolis
will replace the South Dakota.
Canal Defenses Rushed.
A sudden anxiety to get the West
ern* defenses of the Panama (’anal
into immediate tomfnlssion was evi
dent at the War Department. Five
14-inch guns are to be shipped im
mediately. The big 16-inch gun at
Sandy Hook will be flrs't to arrive at
the (’anal*Zone. It has a radius of 20
miles.
The squadron now on the Pacific
Coast could not prevent a Japanese
fleet from destroying the Western ter
minal. Fourteen-inch guns are the
best and only protection. They ire
being rushed from the Watervllet
Arsenal.
Most important of all is that the
Navy Department has plans by which
the Panama Cahal can be utilized
within 50 days to shift the Atlantic
fleet to the Pacific Coast.
Could Be Opened June 20.
At present rate of construction,
with but one eight-hour shift at
work, the locks will he completed and
the canal flooded by October 1. With
three eight-hour shifts, the gates can
be completed by June 20.
The Isthmian (’anal Commission
admits that work is being rushed
with extraordinary speed. So far is
the canal itself is concerned, it couid
be flooded right now to ample depth
for the passage of ships. The Gatun,
Pedro Miguel and Miraflores lock
gates, however, are not yet in place.
It is stated that even slides in the
Culebra Cut will present no obstacle.
In case of emergency, a single day’s
work could clear away sufficient
earth to let any vessel of the navy
type pass through.
The battleships Vermont, Minne
sota and Connecticut are now at Vera
< ’ruz, and the Idaho at Tampico,
Mexico. These vessels are wlthVi
easy reach of the canal.

This picture is odd. Running for
three days in The Georgian without
any comment, it has caused endless
discussion as to who It is and what it
is. The Georgian has been besieged
with telephone calls and letters from
its readers asking for an explanation.
We do not wonder that you had some
doubt as to why it is here. This is
the answer:
The Georgian has purchased a
serial story, more interesting
than any Atlanta has had in
years. This picture typifies the
story.
Based on the picture, what in
your judgment is the title or
ought to be of this story? Five
dollars in gold will be paid to
each of the five best literary
judgments received.
The title of the story has al
ready been selected, and it is now
in a sealed envelope in the hands
of T. J. Peeples, cashier of the
American National Bank.
The answers will be judged
upon their originality, their liter
ary value and upon their analyti
cal clearness.
Address all answers to “Litera
ry Editor, The Georgian," Atlanta.

of tlie unceasing efforts on the part of
the officers or private individuals who
are working so generously and faith
fully on the case. And I would as re
spectfully ask that the daily papers
refrain from printing anything calcu
lated to unduly inflame the public
mind; and from using such headlines
as are calculated to arouse undue in
dignation.
"And you may rest assured if faith
ful and persevering work counts for
anything, justice will be done. I have
known, during my several years of
experience as an officer and in crimi
nal cases, undue haste in matters of
this kind, brought on by excitement
and enthusiasm, to produce a miscar
riage of justice. But I have never
known a cool and systematic investi
gation of a tragedy, backed up by an
earnest public sentiment demanding
the apprehension of the real perpe
trator of a crime like this, to fail of
attaining the des-ired end.”
