Duncan is the man charged
with the robbery of the Mont

Duncan's, cot was located

It is the usual custom of
deputy sheriff to take the prlcon

8 o'clock and at the same time
to take In a bucket of coal for
their fire.
Duncan took advantage of this
arrangement by rolling his bfnn
kets up to appear as if he were

The city .council met last night In
Its regular session, the meeting b
lng short, as there were only a few
matters of business to be consider
ed. The greater part of the evening
was spent considering sidewalks
and the new approved plat In
Laurelwood. ,
A delegation consisting or more
than twenty of the residents of
Laurelwood attended the meeting
last night and discussed the side,

They stated that there had been a
rumor to the effect that the coun

C. S. Heinline acted as spokes
man and told the council that at
the time the residential district
was opened It was understood by
persons buying land there that
there were to be no sidewalks
built. There is no need or de
mand for walks it was stated, and
on the other hand the property Is
more attractive without the walks.
Many persons bought land on time
payments, be stated, and are pay
ing for their property, pavement
and sewers, and to be forced to add
sidewalks would be a great burden.:
A number of them have also built
steps, driveways, and other perma-:

were not to be required, and these i
persons would be put to a great'

walls would be needed in some

order forcing sidewalks would ,

65 Western Railroads, Claiming
Inability to Maintain Service,
Plead for Higher Freight Rates
(AMnrUtrd Vrrm tsied W1r.)
WASHINGTON, April 21
Western railroads cannot continue
to maintain adequate transporta
tion service under the present gen
eral level of freight rates, they de
clared today In the tr-xt of a Joint
brief filed with the Interstate com
merce commission.
Reductions In rntes on agricul
tural products In recent years, the
document declared, have already,
"menaced the maintenance of an
ad'ftuate svetem of transportation
In the west." The railroads asked
the cnmmlsfdnn. which Is now en
gaeed In preliminaries to a gener
al Investigation of all railroad
rnfs, to treat separately the study
nf the 'Q'ern railroad situation
and to g. rtnln by additional In
quiry. uTether there are not par
ticular classes of traffic and par
ticular traffic of industrial pro
jects which cannrtOoear Increased
charges.
Supportlnjr the contentions the
brief contained estimates of
&
learnings Intended to show that for
1924 the return upon railroad In
vestment In the west was 3 7 per
cent as compared with 4 33 per
!cent In the remainder of the ITnlt
d States. In addition, wage pay
ments of western railroads were
: given as 193 percent of their pay
! ments In lSlG.
! The tax accounts of western rail
roads In 1924 were placed at 369
i percent or their tax a--counts In
191 while In the United States as
a whole, the brief said, the In
crease had made the 1924 pay
ments 334 percent of those of 1911.
The receivership of the Chicago.
Milwaukee St. Paul Railroad
was rlted.
Western carriers, the brief said,
had encountered a loss of tonnage
hv reason of Panama Canal compe
tition. j Signatories to the brief were
representatives of 65 western rail
roads. Including practl'sjly every
rrler operating west of the Mir

appealed to them for their recti-
flcation of rule 22. so as to pro- :
tect the malority of the Senate
in ita constitutional right to leg
