DYNAMITE USED FREELY
Explosion Fail to Open Safe Con
taining Shipment of Money Mes
senger Rernwn to Open Poor.
Parting Shots Are Fired.
I.EADVILLE. Colo.. Sept. 16. A dar
ing attempt to rob the second sec
tion of the Denver & Rio Grande No. 6
passenger train was made at 11
o'clock tonight four mllea west of
Malta, a small station near Leadvllle.
The express car was dynamited, but,
according to the trainmen, no booty
was secured. "
It is believed that the five men who
were engaged in the holdup crawled
on the two engines of No. 6 at Malta.
The train had proceeded but a short
. distance when two men scrambled
over the tender of each engine and
compelled the engineers and firemen to
: march back to the express car. Engi-
neer Smith of the first engine was told
to hammer on the door and order the
express messenger to open it.
The latter, however, refused to open
the door and a charge of dynamite was
placed under' it and the door blown
open. Three of the robbers rushed in,
covering the express messenger with
their revolvers. He was ordered to
open the safe, but said he could not.
Several charges of dynamite were
then placed under the safe, but wlth
' out result, except completely to wreck
the Interior of the car. After firing a
' vollev of shots the robbers disappeared
in the darkness.
One of the trainmen in the mean
time had reached Malta and Sheriff
Campbell, with a posse, at once
started for the scene of the holdup.
It is rumored that the safe contained
a large sum of mony, but this cannot
be confirmed.
The train was westbound and was
known aa the Chicago & San Francisco
Express.

In a speech at Spokane several weeks ago.
The Associated Press correspondent who

L. R, Glavle. chief of the field division

PIXCHOT WILX NOT RESIGN
Chief Forester Not to Leave orfice
Unless Asked to Quit.
OREGON1AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Sept. 1. It was stated by
officials of the Forest Service today
that Glfford Plnchot will not resign,
notwithstanding " the criticism of his
methods contained in Preaident Taffs
letter to Secretary Balllnger.
"Plnchot will never resign,," said one
of his subordinates. "He may be
thrown out. but he will never quit
voluntarily."
This Is understood to be the correct
statement of Pinchot'a views. Just
what will ultimately be done wrth him,
no one seems competent to state. He
may be' permitted to remain, because
his forestry work is good and has been
Indorsed by the Administration, but If
he does stay . it will be on condition
that he hereafter conducts hi office in
strict accordance with law.
From what can be learned here, it is
believed President Taft will take no
action with regard to Plnchot until he
returns from the West. At that time
he and the Chief Forester will come to-
an understanding which win . aeter-
mlne the future aotlon.

and supples.
He reported that he had seen no ice
up to the time that Cape York Bay was

and the ship's tanks filled with water
from the glacier," said the letter.
"We then steamed norti to North Star

pany to the west end of Northumberland
Island, where I boarded the Erik to visit

dogs and some 85 walrus. All the dogs
were landed on an Island in Etah and
the Roosevelt was coaled from the Erik.
Coal waa landed for the return trip, and
two men were landed with supplies for
the relief of Dr. Cook."

Mrs.' Harriman Is Made Only
Beneficiary in Will.
WILL ACT AS EXECUTRIX
Document, Extremely Brief, Is Dated
June 8, 1903 Insurance
' President and Secretary
Sign as Witnesses.
NEW YORK. Sept. IS. A hundred brief
words, weighted each with approximately
$1,000,000 and containing- In their entirety
the last testament of E. H. Harriman,
given out today, make his widow, Mary
Averlll Harriman. one of the wealthiest
women In the world.
It perhaps Is the briefest will on record
for the disposal of an estate of such mag
nitude. All his property is left to Mrs.
Harriman. Wall street estimates that
Mrs. Harriman will Inherit in realty and
personal property between $75,000,000 and
$100,000,000. v Mr. Harriman's private for
ture Is supposed to have been greater
than this by many millions, but there is
reason to believe that hie. unmarried
daughters, Mary an Carol, his married
daughter, Mrs. Robert t,ivingstone
Guerry, and his two sons, William Aver
Ill and Roland, a boy of 14, together with
his surviving sister, Mrs. Simons, and
other relative have all been substantial
ly provided for with gifts out of hand
and trust funds set aside by Mr. Harri
man during his lifetime.
The will Is dated June 8, 1903, and is
witnessed by Charles A. Peabody, presi
dent of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, who drew it? and C. C. Tegethoff.
Mr. Peabody was Mr. Harriman's close
personal friend.
If the estate measures up to expecta
tion, Mrs. Harriman Is the wealthiest
woman In the world. Mrs. Hetty Green's
holdings have been estimated at $40,000.
000, those of Mrs. Frederick Courtland
Penfleld, who was Anne Weightman, of
Philadelphia, at $80,000,000. and those of
Mrs. Russell Sage at a like amount.
Mr. Harriman, by malting no bequests
to children or relatives, avoided the large
share of the enormous inheritance tax
which, under the laws of the state of
New York, would otherwise be imposed.
POSTAL BANKS SCORED
BANKERS OPPOSE GOVERNMENT
SAVINGS INSTITUTIONS.
Guaranty Idea Also Condemned at
Chicago Sweeping Changes
in Laws Predicted.
CHICAGO, Sept. 16. Not a voice was
raised today in defense of the postal sav
ings ban plan In the sessions of the
A . A-tna-. Panlisr,' A C H rw' 1 f 1 l"n P Oil VP Tl-
frflon, nor was there a .word uttered in
favor of guaranty deposit state or ja
tlonal banks. In formal reports, in
speeches and in Impromptu remarks, both
Ideas were repeatedly scored by the
bankers, who were apparently of one
mind in opposing the two remedies of
fered for the relief of financial conditons.
In the savngs bank section. Henry S.
Henschen. of Chicago, attacked the postal
savings bank by declaring that if the
good of the country demanded that the
experience of trusted and Intelligent men
aa custodians of the people's savings be
disregarded, and the custodianship turned
over to third and fourth-class postmas
ters, the bankers would acquiesce, but.
that if the welfare of the country did
not demand such action the bankers
would protest in no uncertain tones.
President George M. Reynolds, the head
of the Bankers' Association, congratu
lated the savings bank section on its
steady opposition to the postal savings
bank Idea. President Reynolds prophe
sied that within a year there would tw
such a revision of the National banking
laws as would permit National banks to
accept savings deposits.
A resolution was offered to put the
savings bank section on record as favor
ing the segregation of savings deposits,
but It was referred to a committee with
out action. The savings bank section
elected William R. Greers, of Cleveland,
as president.
