Penrose Favors the
Work on the Rivers
Chairman of Senate Finance Com
mittee Declares Improvement of
Waterways Most Important.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. (Special.) Sen
ator Boles Penrose of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the powerful committee on finance,
aays the the subject of transportation was
always the great problem for Inland sec
tlons of the country. That cheap and
abundant facilities for the transportation
of the great natural products of the forest.
farm and mine not only add to the value
of all farm and city property within the
sphere of their Influence, but Increase ma
terially the growth of natural wealth and
reduce the average cost of the necessities
of life in the great centers of population.
"I believe that -there is tio subject now
engaging tha attention of the people more
truly national- In its scope than the ays
tematio scientific and permanent Improve
ments of the - Inland waterways o the
country," said Senator Penrose. "Frankly
I have thought sometimes that there was
a good deal of exaggeration about certain
bodies of water because their commercial
needs have never been apparent, but as
te the necessity for the Improvement of
certain rivers of the country I have not I
the least doubt.
The Interstate Commerce commission
In its far reaching decision recently handed
down" affecting rates between the Atlantic
ocean and the Pacific coast notified car
riers that they will be allowed to meet
water competition to a. reasonable extent
which seems to give materways a new
status and pat them upon a new footing.
'While I believe In a conservative treat
ment of our waterways, I am not blind
to the fact that certain Improvements must
be made In our rivers looking always to
their final completion when their up-kaep
will be -the only charge upon the govern
ment. And In order to bring this about
we should have annual river and harbor
bills, conservatively made up to cover
continuing contracts to the end that work
begun on our rivers be completed within
a reasonable time.
"The question of an Intelligent treat
ment of our rivers, harbors and canals
should neither be local nor sectional. It
la a national question and Its solution
should be along national lines and it should
not be made the subject of politics. In this
connection I cannot help but pay tribute
to the work of the National Rivers and
Harbors congress which has been produc
tive of great good In bringing about le fi
nite results and In educating the public
mind aa to the development of Inland
waterway projects and I am In hearty
sympathy with its work and purposes."

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. Aug. S.-The
attempt of a bandit to hold up an eleatrio
car filled with pleasure seekers returning
from Salt Air pavilion late last night re
sulted In slight injury to several passeugers
and the defeat of the robber, who escaped
with little booty. Several shots were fired
and a young man who grappled with the
bandit waa shot through the hand.
As the train slackened speed at the city
limits, a man sprang upon the running
board of the open tar and began shooting.
One bullet shattered an oil lamp in the
car. A second shot grazed the ear of Mrs.
Thomas Hodder, who sat with her hus
band. The revolver waa then thrust
against Hodder's breast.
'Here you, get out on this board ana
gather in the shekels before I blow your

Hodder climbed from his seat and became
an unwilling accomplice of the robber.

The two passed along the running board.
Hodder went through the pockets of fifteen
or twenty of his fellow passengers, duti
fully handing the loot to the bandit They
collected several watches and some S5 in
money.
"No more chicken feed for me." growled
the robber. "Get busy now, and dig vp
a little coin if you want to get home with
your skin whole."
About midway of the car, Hodder began
the search of Cleveland Porter, a railway
mall clerk from Ogden. Porter seized the
opportunity and made a Jump for the
bandit, grasping his gun. In the struggle
Porter was shot through the right hand
and both he and the bandit fell from the
moving train into the grass.
J. M. McDermott, an Ogden hotel pro
prietor, who had been with Porter climbed
from the train and went to the assistance
of hla friend. A fierce struggle ensued in

In tearing himself from the arms of the

WALTERS IS STILL IN JJAIL
Bloax Falls Mam Charged with
Attempted Harder Unable to
Give Bonds.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Aug. . (Special.)
Unable to furnish a bond in the sum of
$6,000, J. G. Walters, a former prominent
garln commission and elevator man of
Minneapolis and Sioux Falls, hss been
lodged in the county Jail to await trial
on the charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon with Intent to kill. This charge
grew out of a recent attempt to shoot and
kill Mrs. Sarah Blelfus, who formerly had
been engaged as a stenographer for
Walters. The cause of the shooting yet
remains considerable of a mystery, but
the most plausible theory Is that it was
the outgrowth of Mrs. Blelfus resisting un
welcome attentions. Walters some months
ago waa charged with embezzlement and
fled to British northwest territory, where
he waa arrested and brought back to South
Dakota. He effected a settlement in con
nection with this and the charge waa
withdrawn. The trial of tha present case
against him promises to be sensational.

elghteen-hour train which left here at z
o'clock for New York were frightened, but
uninjured, when the engine, tender and
baggage car Jumped the track while going
at full speed between Indiana Harbor and
Bufflngton, Ind., today.
The engine and tender broke from tne
train when the engineer applied the emer
gency brakes, and leaving the rails plunged
down an embankment. The train stopped
with a Jerk that threw the passengers from
their seats, but remained upright on the
tracks. The baggage car, Immediately be
hond the tender, left the tracks, but did
not ' overturn. "

emergency brakes and the strain broke the
coupling between the tender and baggage

The total delay to the fast train because
of the accident was two hours.
A careful investigation failed to reveal
any cause of the tender leaving the track
and railroad men seemed unable to ex
plain how It occurred.
We had Just got started at good speed
on that part of the tracks on the surface
grade after coming down the elevation In
Indiana Harbor," said Engineer Summers.
First, I noticed the tender was causing
moer than the usual amountof dust, then
I felt a tug, as It left the rails, and threw
on the emergency brake. That broke the
coupling and the engine went off."
No one on the train was hurt," said
Conductor A. C. Ross, "though all were
Jarred a little when the train stopped so
quickly. We were going at full speed and
stopped within a few feet after the brakes
were applied."

MANY DELEGATES ARRIVING
Five Big; Annual Conventions Will
Attract Delegations to Omaha.
FAMOUS SHERIFFS AEE COMING
Besides Professional Business Men la
Varlona Llnea, Amateur Sports
men Are Coming In Large
Number.
From almost every Incoming train scores
of persons clambered at the Union or Bur
lington stations yesterday here tor the five
big annual meetings that are to be held
thla week. During the afternoon nearly 300
people had arrived and by S o'clock this
morning at least 400 more are expected
Three conventions and two of the biggest
sporting events that have ever been held
in Nebraska will bring at least L4C0 persons
to Omaha in the next twenty-four hours
and each of these visitors will remain from
three to seven days.
The meeting that Is perhaps attracting
the greatest attention is that of the Na
tional Sheriffs' assodalon, and also the
State Sheriffs" association. At least GOO
sheriffs are expected.
The National Association of Sheet Metal
Contractors will bring about 400 delegates
to their convention, which starts today.
and which lasts until the 11th. The metal
contractors' meetings will bring at least
150 exhibitors and persons Interested in
their doings.
The western handicap trap shooters'
tournament will bring 200 visitors and the
national clay court tourney about 160.
Counting the friends, families and per
sons Interested In the delegates, 1,400 la
thought to be a conservative estimate by
hotel men here. Almost every room in
nearly all of Omaha's leading hotels have
been engaged and the week will doubtlessly
prove to be a profitable one to Omaha inn
keepers.
A large number of sheriffs have already
arrived and the majority of them are stop
ping at the Paxton hotel, where they are
being entertained by the Worrel Manufnc-
turing company of St. Louis and the Mid
land Chemical company of Dubuque.
Among the first of the sheriffs to arrive
were T. J. Armstrong of Vancouver, British
Columbia, and Charles W. Petera of Chi- I
cago, both of whom are known all over
the country. Mr. Peters has been the
under sheriff, or chief deputy, of Cook
county for nearly twenty-five years, and
Mr. Armstrong, who receives his commis
sion from the provincial governor, has been
sheriff of West Minster county, British
Columbia, for twenty-five years also, his
position being of Ufa tenure.
Open Honae for Sheriffs.
As fast aa the sheriffs arrive they are
met at the depots by Sheriff Bralley and
his office force, and representatives of the
Worrel company, who are keeping open
house for them at the Paxton. The Worrel
company has provided almost every con
venience for the sheriffs, possibly by busi
ness Ingenuity, and their suite of rooms
at the Paxton was filled yesterday afternon
with officers who were enjoying their
hospitality.
The metal men were few in number yes
terday, but It is expected that early trains
this morning will bring large numbers of
delegates. The Roma hotel will be the
headquarters of the contractors.

Reluctantly. '
DES MOINES. Aug. S. Promptly at 5
o'clock this afternoon street car trafflo
was resumed In Des Moines and the forty
hour strike, which beitan at 1:16 o'clock
yesterday morning, when the union em
ployes walked out. woe terminated.
For the first time In the history of the
country the order of a court haa put an
end to what gave eevery Indication of be
coming one of the bitterest struggles ever
waged between organized labor on the one
hand and canltal on the other.
The mandate Issued by Judge Lawrence
PeC5 raff of the district court last night waa
promptly obeyed by the Des Moines City
Railway company and the carmen's union,
and while there Is ample prospect of a
fight later in the courts one thing Is cer
tain, an Injunction tias restored, tem
porarily at least, nearlv BOO conductors and
motormen to their original positions.
The scenes attending the resumption of
trafflo rivaled those of Friday night when
the men turned the cars In for what many
of them thought would be the last time.
The streets in the vicinity of the central
waiting rooms at Sixth and Mulberry
streets were thronged for nearly three
hours before the time set for the first car
to pass. When extras announced that the
first car had left ths Twenty-fourth street
barn enthusiasm began to show Itself, and
when car No, 1S8 of the university line
passed the station the crowd tendered the
crew a rousing ovation.
Cheers for All Crews.
It was not long before the first cars on
every lien had reached the station and each
of the crews as they came un was greeted
with cheers. By 6 o'clock traffic had al
most resumed Its normal condition.
That a new method of handling labor
difficulties haa been disoovered, was tha
statement of N. T. Guernsey .attorney for
the street car company tonight, following
the acquiescence of the company In Judge
DeGraff's order. At the same time ha
said his clients were by no means satis
fied that the court was within Its Juris
diction In Idling the mandatory injunction,
but for the present they were willing to
abide by it, leaving to a later date the
trial of the case on Its merits.
Fred Fay of Ypsllantl, Mich., Interna
tional board member of the Amalagamated
Association of Street and Electric railway
employes of America, who conducted the
brief, strike, was much pleased with the
turn of events tonight. He said that while
he and the members of the executive com
mittee had preferred that the, strike con
tinue until a new agreement had been
signed, 'the Intervention of the court waa
acceptable because It gave to the union
exactly what It had asked. This was tha
reinstatement of Conductor Benpamin J,
Hlatt, whose recent discharge without an
Investigation led to the trouble, and the.
order that arbitration must decide whelhe
or not he la to remain with the company.
Hlatt One of First Out.
Hlatt waa one of tha first men out of tha
Twenty-fourth street barn thla afternoon,
and his friends along the route gave him
ample evidence of their eateem In frequent
cheers.

strike, waa brought by the city of Des
Moines, through its city counsellors, H. W.
