PURSUED BY POLICE fN AUTOS.
Hold-Up Is Accomplished with Neat
ness and Expedition Passen
gers Not Molested.
Four manked men held up and rob
bed Udon Pacific train No. 2, known
as the Overland Limited, a few miles
west of Omaha Just before midnight
Saturday and secured a number of
registered mall pouches. The exact
number of sacks taken Is not known,
but they are believed to have contain
ed a larpe sum. The robbers are be
ing sought by squads of Omaha police
In automobiles.
The hold-up occurred about a mile
west of the city limits. In a deep cut
along the recently constructed Lane
cut-off. The robbers climbed over the
tank, forced the engineer to stop his
train and then proceeded to the mall
car. The clerks were forced to open
the door and hand out a number of
Touches of registered mall. Once the
robbers secured the bags, they hurried
away In a southerly direction and per
mitted the train to proceed. The pas
sengers were not molested. As soon as
the robbers left the train proceeded to
Omaha.
Two of the robbers climbed Into the
engine with drawn revolvers and
forced the engineer to stop the train.
The engine crew was ordered out of
the cab and two of the robbers stood
guard, while the other two escorted
the engineer and fireman to the rear.
The quartette were apparently well ac
quainted with the ground, as they
forced the train to stop In a deep cut.
There were eight clerks on the mall
car and they were forced to open the
door. The chief clerk was singled out
and asked to point out the registered
mall. This he did and the robbers
gathered up Beven pouches and the
leader then remarked: "ThU is all we
can get Into our automobile." They
left the scene quickly, walked down
the track 300 feet and clambered out
of the cut.
A continuous fusillade of shooting
was kept up during the robbery, evi
dently to Intimidate passengers and
crew. A flagman who went to the rear
narrowly escaped being shot. Several
passengers who had not retired started
to get out of the vestibules, but In no
uncertain tones the robbers ordered

The surprise of the day was tbe at
titiide of Senator Dolllver, who here
tofore has stood with the "progrea
eivts" throughout the tariff fight. He
took positive position against the radi
cal demand for free lumber, but ex
pressed the opinion that the Industry
would not suffer from a reduction of
the Dingley rates.
Senator Root opened the day's pro
ceedings with an argument In favor
of a differential on dressed lumber.
Senators Borah and Heyburn of Idaho
contended for the highest duty on
lumber, and Mr. Borah entered upon
an argument to show that the policy
of protection is "a system" and can
not be maintained if there are to be
constant exceptions to it as is desired
in the Interest of free lumber.
On the other hand. Senators Clapp
and Burkett argued that lumber can
be produced as cheaply In Canada as
In the United States, and contended
that the lumber Industry of this coun
try would not be endangered by the
free admlhslon of the Canadian pro
duct. Incidentally Senator Clapp paid
a tribute to the Canadian government,
saying it was equal to the best.
