OREGON RANCHER
IS TRAIN ROBBER
Topeka, Knn. The daring holdup of

cuted, Lounsberry confessed he held
up a Southern Pacific train In a simi
lar manner last January at Red Bluff,

Into the mall car. J. D. Withers, the
clork In charge, turned and faced. the
man, wbo leveled a revolver at him,
Withers waa commanded to bind and
gag his five associates and obeyed.
The robber then went through all
th registered pouches, stuffing the
rich packages Into his pockets.
When Lawrence was reached the
robber dropped quickly from the car
and ran towards the rear of the train
and boarded a sleeper, and a colored
portor noticed him and notified the
conductor.
Conductor M. E. Smith hastily sum
moned two Lawrence policemen and
all three followed into the car. Smith
pulled aside the curtain and made a
grab for him. The robber raised the
revolver and pulled the trigger just
aa Smith caught his hand and turned
It back as he says. The bullet entered
the man's chest close to the heart
It was said at the hospital that
Lounsberry would recover. Lounsber

NEWS FROM OUR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Houses Cannot Agree on Defi
ciency Bill and Congress
Falls to Adjourn.
Washington. Congress failed to
complete Its session on Saturday night
as expected. After an all-night fili
buster th bouse at 4; 22 a. m., decided
to adjourn until Monday, and shortly
afterward th senate followed Its ex
ample. Disagreement over the general defi
ciency bill, among th Items In which
were the, Oregon claim aguinst th
federal government waa a leading
cause of th deadlock. Senator La
i-'ollette's demand for consideration of
the Penrose resolution wss another
contributing factor.
Double Filibuster In Ssnatt.
The doubla filibuster whlcb com
pelled th abandonment of tb plan to
end th session of congress was led by
1 Kollette and -Chamberlain. Sena
tor La Pollen Insisted upon a record
vote In adoption of th I'enroac reso
lution for an Investigation of cam
paign contributions of th Standard
Oil company In 1904 and of th corres
pondence between John D. Archbold,
George W. Perkins and member of
congress.
Senator Chamberlain' filibuster waa
to free the hous lo agree to th pay
ment of $600,000 of old atat claims.
Claims Added by 8nat.
The stst claims which hav arous
ed th resentment of th house were
all added to th general deficiency
bill In th senate. In the casa of the
Maryland claim of $72,000 and th Vir
ginia claim of $120,000, the hous con
ferees Insist that the amounts now de
manded by those states as "loans'
that were mad to th gvernment In
1790 and 1791, actually were given to
the governemnt aa an Inducement for
the location of th national capital In
the present District of Columbia.
The Texas claim of $217,693.39 ia to

from 1868 to 1861 In "defense" of th
Texas frontier against Mexican mar
auder and Indian depredators.
The Oregon claim of $193,543.02 I
for the expense of raising volunteers
for the Indian war from 1862 to 1867.
President Signs Panama Canal BUI.
President Taft signed the Panama
canal bill. He lent to congress a
memorandum suggesting the advisa
bility of the passage of a resolution
which would declare that this measure
waa not considered by thla govern
ment a violation of the treaty provis
ions regarding the canal.
In discussing the British protest
against the exemption of American
shipping from the payment of tolls
for the use of the canal, Mr. Taft says
the irresistible conclusion to be drawn
from It Is that "although the United
States owns, controls and haa paid for
the canal, It Is restricted by treaty
from aiding Its own commerce in the
way that all the other, nations of the
world may freely do."
The president points out that the
rules specified in the articles of the
trcnty, which Is made the basis for the
British protest, were adopted by the
United States aa the basis of neutrali
sation of the canal and tor no other
purpose, and were not Intended to
limit or hamper the United 8tatee
In the exercise of Its sovereign power
to deal with Its own commerce, using
Its owp canal In whatsoever manner
It saw fit
Homsstesders Gain Point
Under the Borah amendment to the
sundry civil bill, finally agreed to by
.both branches of congress, homestead
ers who made filing prior to the pass
age of the three-year homestead act
and who fail to elect to complete proof
under the original homestead law, will
not be prejudiced by reason of their
failure to so elect, and may proceed
to perfect title under the old law.
ThlB amendment overturns the rul
ing of Secretary FlBher to the effect
that entrymen falling to elect by Octo
ber 4 would be compelled to complete
proof under the three-year act. The
Borah amendment allows all entrymen
to make final proof under' either law.
National Capital Brevities.
' President Taft has signed the naval
appropriation bill. It carries $123,220,
707 and provides tor one dreadnaught,
to cost not mora than $15,000,000.
Senator Pomerene's bill providing a
uniform system of bills of lading and
regulating the transfer of such bills
was passed by the senate without a
dissenting vote.
The bill to amend the federal consti
tution bo aB to provide a single presi
dential term of six years was reached
this week by the house, but on objec
tion the measure was sent over to the
winter session of congress.
The moBt Imporant witness before
the campaign fund Investigating com
mittee this week was John D. Arch-
bold, who confirmed the atatement
that the Standard Oil had contributed
$125,000 to the Roosevelt campaign of
1904. He stated that a further con
tribution of $150,000 was demanded,
falling which, the company waa prose
outed and persecuted.
