Lone Robber Compelled Pullman Por­ ter to Assist in Gathering Cash From Occupants of Berths---Jewel­ ry Was Shunnsd by TWaR--' ; * Battle Creek, Mich., Jan. 28.--An unidentified mail was arrested at Jack­ son on Friday in connection with the robbery of passengers ot a Michigan Central train. While all who have talked of the hold-up say four men were concerned, noma kav* seen more than one. Aicago, Jan. 26.--Thrilling stories of how a lone bandit--a slender, nerv­ ous young fellow ^Hth a big revolver-- held up Michigan Central passenger train No. 7, west-bound, at 1:45 a. m. on Friday, near Jackson, Mich., rob­ bing and terrifying passengers in one Pullman sleeper, among them several ChicagoanB, were ioM In Chicago when the train arrfved. The uniqueness of the robber's methods--some of the members of the train crew thought them comic--con­ tributed largely to his success, both In the hold-up and in his escape. Al­ though he aroused six drowsy passen­ gers with the aid of a cowed porter, he succeeded in getting less than $300 In money. He shunned jewelry. At, the same time, the bandit forced the Pullman porters into the limelight --one in a serio-comic role and the other in the hero's garb. . It was 'Louis" Thombs' coolness and pre- •cision that prevented futher opera­ tions of the robber and caused him to leap from the train near Parma, Mich., while it was slowing down. In the country about Parma and in the city of Jackson the bandit is be­ ing hunted, according to press dis­ patches, by Sheriff J. F. Greble and a well-armed posse. They say the fugi­ tive cannot escape. The Michigan au­ thorities believe the man returned to Jackson after escaping from the train. Three other men who are reported to have left the train when the robber jumped off are believed to be tramps stealing a ride. The bandit's victims were: A. M. Todd, 1706 East Fifty-sixth street, Chi­ cago, $135; Harry Marks, 74 Library avenue, Detroit, Mich., $110; F. D. Palmer, New York, $2.35; Philip J. Savage, Detroit, Mich., $3. In another car Cortland Cramp, president of the William Cramp ft Sons' Shipbuilding company of Phila­ delphia, was sleeping soundly. He did not know how near he came to losing a fairly fat "roll" until several hours after the robber's visit Berth 5, in which Mr. Marks was slumbering, was tackled first The porter pulled the curtains aside. "Say, mister," the porter began, as he shook the sleeping man. "here is a fellaw who says he wants 'your money." - Marks rubbed his eyas Sad turned to gaze into the revolver leveled at his head. "Come across, old man," remarked the robber, crisply., "X need the dough." Marks looked for a moment then he "shelled out" It is believed the robber boarded the train either at Jackson or Ann Arbor. Conductor David Ludlum hurried back whetr the bell cord was pulled, but the robber had fled. Mere Appointmenta by Dunne. These members of the Illinois art commission were appointed by Gover­ nor Dunne: Lorando Taft, Ralph Clarkson and Frederic Clay Bartlett all of Chicago; succeed themselves; John D. York, Chicago, succeeds W. C. Zimmerman, and Martin Roche of Chicago succeeds William Holabird. The governor also named J. W. Adams of Marshall as public administrator of Clark county.

New Rates on Express Shipments.

In traveling over the couatry, the ordinary observer Is unfavorably Im­ pressed with the methods now com­ monly found in use by many farmers for taking care of their machinery. As a general ruie, the prosperity of a farmer may be estimated by the way he cares for his machinery. Poor eafe indicatee shiftlessness, waste, lack of energy and the necessity of buying more machinery in a short time. Good care, on the other hand, indicates prosperity, development, bank de­ posits, and long-lived machinery. To properly care for the farm im­ plements means that they must be well selected, kept in good repair and adjustment, oiled thoroughly, cleaned before housing, and have all wearing parts well greased when not in use, and painted when necessary, and must be properly housed. To neglect any of the linee o? care mentioned, means serious damage and 'loss to the machinery. There is no question but that to properly house machinerw is a great saving, as it not only adds a great deal to the life of the machine but it also adds to the general appearance of the farm. It ,is. generally found •ffitf' fr?;' • Ty. ifcl Profits of Many Farmers Are Found In Such 44Junk Hssps" as This. that where a farmer Is Interested enough In his tools to properly house them, he Is Interested enough In them to care for them otherwise. To "house" machinery does not mean merely to put it in some tum­ ble-down, leaky shed, or combined machine-shed and hen-roost. A great deal of machinery can be placed in a small space if properly arranged. At the time of storing It the machinery should be placed in the shed according to the time it will have to be removed. The machinery that will be used Iste in the sesson should be placed In the back of the shed and that which is to be used early In the season should be placed In front In this way It will not be necessary to remove a great deal of machinery in order to get what is needed first Do not forget that the implements and machines on the farm represent an investment and that when ex­ posed to the weather they deteri orate rapidly, thus making the up keep and original cost a heavier charge against the equipment. Dew, rain and sunshine may cause greater deterioration in expensive imple­ ments than ordinary use. To leave the Implements at the end of the rows or in the field without shelter means great loss. No progressive farmer can afford It. ^Binders, mowers, hay presses, trac­ tors, silage cutters and. other mar chines represent considerable capital, and it Is economy to shelter and care for them when not in use. A tool shed costs little compared to the risk of protecting the implements. The shed is really insurance upon the im plements from sun, rain and rust. Even the small tools, such as single stocks. Bhovels, sweeps, hoes, spades, double shovels and cultivators need ghelter. And there is another ad- DETENTiON ROOM FOR PESTS Method Adopted by Government far Excluding Entry of Bags Injurious to Farm Crops. Experience has taught the officials of our national government the advis­ ability of guarding against the possi­ ble Importation of Injurious or undesir­ able plants and animals. Well mean­ ing but carelessly inclined friends liv­ ing abroad send home specimens ot beautiful or peculiar plants or flow­ ers, strange and unusual insects, small animals as pets, and so forth, not knowing that they are aiding in the Bpread of what may be extremely harmful pest. Often, too, "seed" of some variety of fruit or vegetable la sent to home friends for planting which contains the eggs of some In­ sect pest or the germs of a disease which may sweep away thousands of dollars' worth of valuable homegrown plants or trees. To prevent any of these disasters the government has provided a "quar­ antine room," to which all specimena, living or dead and preserved, must first go for thorough micr&scopic In­ spection before being passed on to the recipient, says the New York Ind» pendent. The first shipment received after the establishment of this room was a lot of potatoes from the Andes of South America. Th»y were found to be thoroughly infected with a small brown bug harmful enough to have created an endless amount of mischief among the potato Interests ot this country had they been allowed to en­ ter unobserved. The inspection room is carefully pre­ pared to prevent the escape of micro­ scopic germs. It is simply a glass in­ closed cage about eight by twelve feet placed in one of the regular office rooms in the department of agricul­ ture, and is absolutely bug proof.
