ALSO GOLD BULLION. GET Amount of Loss Xot Known Mes senger Tel 's Straight Story, but Investigation Is Being Held. COLUMBUS, O.. May 1. The St. Louis Express on the Pennsylvania Railroad, which was held up last, night 10 miles west of Pittsburg:, arrived at the Union station here . early today, 40 minutes late. The crew confirmed the story of the hold-up by two men at Walker's Mill, and say the bandits escaped with four sealed bags containing: mall. They state that a number of express pack ages and a quantity of gold bullion were taken, but do not know the value of the property. The Adams Express people here refused to make any state ment. Noah H. Koshon. of Columbus, the express messenger, states that two men entered his car east of. Walker's Mill, and covered him with revolvers. Then they tied him with ropes and rifled the csr. As the train approached Wal ker's Mill, they pulled the signal cord and stopped the train. They made their escape when the train slowed up. The conductor, I L. Lafferty, was attracted to the express car by the signal, and found Roshon helpless. He learned that three bags were rifled by the men who entered the car. What they obtained Is only a matter of con jecture, even to the officials of the ex press company, at this time. It Is be lieved, however, that the booty is of great value. Roshon, the express messenger, on arriving Here, the end of his run, was taken In charge by the local manage ment of the Adams Express Company, and was questioned. There are'some features of his story with which the officers are not satis fled, and ihey are trying to get at more of the details of the robbery. Conductor Lafferty states that he knew nothing about the robbery until he heard the signal to stop, which came from the express car. He saw no one leave the train, but hurried to the ex press car as soon as the slow-down began. The contents of the bags were scat tered about, and he found Roshon lying on the floor, bound so tightly that he was entirely helpless. The messenger was released at once and told the con ductor the same story he repeated after his arrival here. Messenger Roshon has been In the mploy .of the Adams Express Com pany as messenger for about nine years. Previously to that he was a conductor on the Panhandle road, hav ing worked himself up from a brake man. He was 53 years old, and has worked on the railroad for about 20 years. -Roshon's wife, who has always been anxious concerning the safety of her husband on his trips, said that he carried revolvers, and was prepared for any emergency. She said. however, that ha told her over tha taltuhone that he could do nothing, having been taken by surprise. She said he had never feared a hold-up. Will Not Say How Much. ' PITTSBURG, May i All efforts to as certain the amount of money stolen have failed. Neither the railroad nor the ex press officials are Inclined to enlighten the public on this point. M. B. Slater, agent for the Adams Express Company at the Union Station, said today that the amount taken is not near $80,000. as reported, or even half that sum, although he admitted It was not known here at this time how much money was taken. - EXPRESS ROBBERY IX MEXICO Wells-Fargo Car Entered and $6Sf t . ' 000 Stolen. LAREDO, Texas, May 1. Tlfe Wells Fargo Express Company has reported to the authorities of Torreon, Mexico, a loss of $63,000 in Mexican currency, which they say was taken from a through safe on the City of Mexico car. The money was con signed to one of the banks of Chihuahua. Two arrests have been made in Torreon, although It is not believed by the officials here that the men who were arrested in Torreon have the money. It appears that one of the agents of the company boarded the express train at a station between the City of Mexico and Torreon, afterward leaving the train. It Is said that he was the only man in the car who knew the combination of the safe. He has not yet bpen arrested. Swell "" aboes aX Rosenthal's SHIELDED BIG SINNERS JEROME CHARGED WITH . FA VORING HIGH FINANCIERS. Gave Ryan and Vreeland Immunity. Helped Ice Trust by Turning Guns on Independents. . NEW YORK, May 1. Before Commis sioner Hand, who is he&rlng- evidence on charges against District Attorney Jerome, Franklin Pierce, counsel for the complainants, today called for the evi dence taken by a grand Jury in thfi Wall and Cortlandt-street ferries cases. In which Thomas F. Ryan and H. H. Vree land testified. "We contend," said Mr. Pierce; "that Mr, Jerome could have gone before the grand Jury with the evidence that he had and secured indictments. Instead he called Mr. Ryan before the grand Jury and forever barred the road to prosecu1 tion." Mr. Jerome agreed to submit the evi dence privately to the Commissioner, -with the understanding that Mr. Pierce shall not be allowed to read It. Mr. Pierce asked for an adjournment until Monday, when lie promised to take up Mr. Jerome's investigation of the American Ice Company. He said Mr. Jerome Investigated the company for talf a day and then turned the investiga tion against three or four small Indepen dent Ice companies that the American Ice Company wanted to smash, and that he advised that Indictments be returned against them.

Navy Department Consents to Allow Battleships to Halt in Pas sage Xdrth. NEWPORT, Or., May 1. (Special.) The battleship fleet will come to a stop off Newport, on the Oregon coast, for a short time on its way to Puget Sound, in order to give the people of this state an opportunity, to see the big fighting machines of Uncle Sam's Navy. The fleet will reach a point off Ya qulna Bay about May 22. Excursions will be run by the.Harrlman lines to carry people to Newport, where steam ers will take excursionists out to sea to see the battleships at close range. Requests were made of the Navy Department to permit the vessels to stop at Yaqulna Bay on their way north, and it was learned yesterday that the response of the Navy Depart ment was favorable. William Mat thews, of Newport, who has been active in the movement to get the fleet to halt off Yaquina Bay. telegraphed General Passenger Agent McMurray of the Hamman lines in the territory yesterday that the effort has been suc cessful and Washington officials have agreed to arrange the cruise of the fleet north from San Francisco so that the warships will stop for some tims off Yaqulna. Newport people expect the fleet of fighting ships on May 22 and the Com mercial Club will make arrangements to give the officers and crews a royal welcome. It has been suggested that the people gather large numbers of rhododendrons, which cover the hills near town at this season, and take the flowers out to the ships. The Southern Pacific will make spe cial rates for the event from all parts of the etate. It Is expected that travel to the Yaqulna Bay resort will be heavy. Arrangements are now being made to run special trains over the Southern Pacific valley lines and the Corvallls & Eastern, the connecting Harriman line. F. G. Buchtel City Sealer. Fred G.
