BANBUJEFORMS nunJUESrEACEflLCITlZU mnn in WON’T TALK OF BIS PAST Desperate Acte of Hie Famous Gang Men Without Death Many Timet* and Managed to Circumvent His Pursuer* at All Times. Recounted—Killed f Remorse—Etxaped V'l Klfeyr" At his home near Kearney, Clay bounty Mo., Frank James, ex-bandtt, is dying at the age of seventy-two of t complication of diseases incident to old age. For twenty years the criminal ex' plotts of Frank and Jesse James and Cole and Bob Younger filled the newspapers. But for several years Frank has lived a quiet and peace ful life, and in Clay county and all over Missouri he has won respect for honesty and sobriety. “I don’t care to talk about those days,” he said recently, when a visi tor mentioned a noted bank robbery In which Frank was a leader. “Jesse has been gone these many years. Cole Younger and myself have done pen ance in prison and are living respect able lives. Let bygones be bygones.” Drulng late years Frank James’ only phibllc appearances have been as starter of horse races at county fairs, In which capacity he was a drawing card. In the last three years he has seldom left his farm except to go to the annual reunion of QuantrelPs vet erans in a suburb of Kansas City two days each fall. He owns the fine stock farm which is his home and also property in Oklahoma. Frank James was born In 1843. He was still a boy when his father died, and he and his brother Jesse were reaired by their mother and her sec ond husband, Dr. Reuben Samuels. Joined (Juaatrell'H Cuerllla*. Even in boyhood Frank James found himself in the midst of border trouble between the slavery sym pathizers of his own Clay county. Mo , and abolitionists Just across the line in Kansas. He was eighteen when the Civil War began, and he Joined the army of the Confederate Gen. Sterling Price. At Springfield. Mo|, he became ill with measles, and by the time he had recovered. Price's army was too far away for him to reach it. But Quantroll. the guerilla leader, was not far away, and his way of fighting was more appealing than Price s, so he Joined Quantrell. and remained with him until Quan trell was killed in Kentucky near the close of the war. Jesse James Joined Quantrell in the spring of 1863. Aft«r the war Frank James re mained In Kentucky some time to cap* threatened vengeance for some of his Missouri ventures. Suddenly be appeared near his home and made the statement: *Tm going down to see Alvaa Dailey Dailey was found next day with two ballet holes In his head. He had incurred the enmity of the James boys during the war. The l^lng 'was not fixed upon Frank at the time, but he confessed it years later When the James boys returned to Clay county, Mo , a few years after the war, they were idols of the Southern sympathizers. The resi- dents believed that 111 treatment by Union troops had driven the James boys into the Quantrell gang, and this sympathy for them afterward aided them many times in escaping capture for train and bank robberies. From this time, it is said, Frank James did not appear in public for ygars except in disguise. Jesse James was at his home near Kearney in 1867 recuperating from wounds received in an exploit when .live men came to arrest him. Realiz ing that capture probably meant death, he fired at them through a door. Two men were killed, but fa tally wounded and the fifth fled. Jesse took the wounded men Into his home and gave them every care until other men came to attempt the capture; then he fled to Kentucky, where he Iras Joined by Frank. • In March, 1868, a gang of armed men rode into the town of Russell ville, Ky., ordered the residents to Remain indoors, rifled a bank of |100,a0.0 and then rode away. Pur- suers followed them through Ten nessee, but they escaped into Mis- •ourl. Killed California Sheriff. Frank and Jesse James were next heard of in California, where they were living “in funds.” Soon, how ever, they were in trouble again. A quarrel in a gambling den ended in Jesse shooting one men who had drawn a knife. The sheriff was play- • • Ing at the same table. He pointed a t. revolver at the bandit's breast and *' ordered him to surrender. Jesse ! slipped from in front of the weapon and the sheriff fell dead with a bullet In his heart. . There was a general mix-iip. Lamps werq overturned and friends fired on frlenda in the confusion. Frank and Jeaed escaped during the mtelee, leav ing behind six dead and eight seri- onsly wounded. They fled to the tooontulns and spent much time with the Indians before making their way back to Missouri. They then reorganized their old gang. Mid soon the bank at Gallatin, Mo., xvns robbed, the cashier, John W. Sheets, being shot dead. Columbia, a little village In Adair county, Ky.. was the scene of their next operation. It was in April, 1872, The gang entered the village In two •actions from opposite sides, meeting at the Deposit Bank. R. A. C. Mar- - tOf, the cashier, whs killed when to ‘ refused to reveal fhe combination 16 the <aafe, and Henry Garnett, n citl- ' sen, wu wounded for utteniptlng to the bank's geld. They were panned Into Tennessee, where Herbert Saun ders, one of the gang, waa caught and killed. Both the James boys and the Younger brothers were Implicated la this robbery. Raided Fair Grounds. Jn the fall of 1872 the fair grounds of Kansas City were raided. The Sec retary was forced by a masked horse man to give up 810,000 which he about to take to a bank. Jesse James denied by letter that he took part In this. -i The bank at Cory don, la., waa rob bed in June, 1873. Jesse James, posing, as a country boy, Joined the posse and helped “chase himself Frank and Jesse James next led their band In the hold-up of the St. Genevieve, Mo., Savings Association getting several thousand dollars. A pursuing posse was compelled to turn and ride back to town. July 20, 1873, was the date of the James boys turn from bank to train robbery. They tore up rails fourteen miles west of Council Bluffs, la., and lay in wait for a fast express. The train was late and the engineer, try ing to make up lost time, was driving too fast to stop when be saw the torn up track. He was killed and his fire man badly injured when the engine plunged down an embankment. Frank and Jesse James, Cole and Thomas Younger and one “Comanche Tony” ordered the passengers from the cars and relieved them of their valuables. The mall and express cars also were stripped. Posses sought in vain in several states for the band. Held up Rich Invalids. On a raw January morning the band held up the stage coach run ning from Malvern to Hot Springs, Ark. Two ambulances filled with in valids on the way to the Springs also were held up. The highwaymen leap ed out from behind the bushes at the roadside and covered the guards be fore they could draw their weapons. The passengerc were lined up along the side of the road and relieved of $3,090 in cash, besides much jew elry. It is said that Jesse James took from Ex-Gov. Burbank of North Da kota a fine gold watch which had been given him by the state. Thiq. watch Is said to have been kept by the bandit until his death, when it was returned to the former governor by the James family. The country next was aroused by a train robbery at Godshill, Mo On the night of January 31, 1874, seven bandits appeared at the station and locked everybody in the waiting rooms and set the stop signal for the night express, which was known to carry valuable mail and express. The train had fairly stopped when the crew were covered. Between $20,000 and $30,000 was tak.m. There was an exciting chase, but no captures. Four Detectives Killed. The railroads and express com panies now employed Pinkerton de tectives to run down the hand. Three of the detectives—Edward LIU, Frank Daniels and J. H. Whlcher— were killed when they pushed the bandits too hard. Whlcher had confided to a Liberty. Mo., man that he was going to the James home in disguise to capture the bandits. Warning reached them before Whlcher and when be arrived he was shot dead. The Tlnkerton company then pr* ganized a large posse in Liberty and these men rode to the Samuels home, where the James boys were staying. But the same old underground sys tem sent a warning ahead and the boys escaped. Approaching the house, the detectives saw several persons sitting In a front room, and, Reliev ing the James boys were there, hurl ed a bomb through a window. Mrs. Samuels thought it wassmerely tar and rags and tossed it into the fire. It exploded and killed her eight-year- old son. Archie, and blew off her right arm and mangled her side. A Liberty lawyer, who had led the detectives, heard that he was to pay for it with his life, and removed to Northfleld, Minn. This led to the faomus Northfleld raid later. Both Took Wives. In an Interval of peace both the James boys married. Jesse wedded his cousin, Miss Zeo Mimms, who had nursed him back to life after he was wounded In one of his most daring exploits, and sl.e'femained his faith ful wife until his death Frank, after an ardent courtship, married Miss Annie Ralston, a belle of Independence, Mo. She was r. so ciety favorite and loved gayety. but after her marriage she was ostracized by those among whom she had been a favorite. There was a decrease in train rob beries during the ear’y married life of the brothers. But finally the country was startled by the hold-up of a night express train in Rocky Cut. near Sedalia, Mo. The loot was $20,000. Hobbo Kerry, a new mem ber of the James band, was captured. Frank and Jesse James sought re venge. They led their men, eight strong, to Northfleld, Minn., and held up a bank there on September 7, 1876. Six of the band held a crowd at bay while Frank and Jesse held up the cashier, J. D. Haywood. He re fused to reveal the safe combination and was shot down by Jessl. Three Youngers Caught. imhe meantime citizens were arm ing themselves. The robberies, with several thousand dollars of the bank’s money, were cornered in a swamp. One Was killpd and several were captured Rohr rt, James and Cole Younger were given life sen tences in the Minnesota penitentiary. Jesse and Frank James escaped and hid In Kansas City and later in Tex as, Their eserpe was considered lit tle short of miraculous. They became ranchmen In Texas and had th«L unusual experience of being robbod 'themselves by a> .-aid ing gang of Mexicans, who- drove away many cattle. The James boys MUUr Tbr'fvcrmet killed fifteen Mexicans and drove back their cattle. Shortly afterward they held up - a thousands of dollars. A 950,000 Haul. Next they were heard of at Glen dale, Mo„ on Octobor 7, 187*. A few citizens there wore locked In a railroad station, the night signal waa set and a night express was stepped and robbed of $S0,0<!& They escap ed only after several pursuers had keen killed. - The band then moved to Kentucky, all except Frank. In Kentucky a quarrel between Dick Liddle and Jim Cummings, gang members,jover one Mias Mattie Collins led eventually to the death of Jesse James. Liddle won the girl. Wood Hite, a cousin pf the losing suitor, followed them to Missouri and i ppeared one morning at the cottage of Robert and Charles Ford and opened fire on Liddle, who was eating breakfast there. Robert Ford shot Hite before he succeeded in hurting Liddle. Hite was taken into- a ^room whore, it later was brought out, ho died of suffocation from rags with which he was gagged to prevent his groans being heard by neighbors. All these men were James boys’ followers. Jesse Jamesrih hiding in St. Jos eph, was told that Hite, his cousin, had been killed by Liddle. Robert Ford knew Jesse would kill him if Jesse learned it « was he who shot Hite, and he made up his mind to “get there first.” In his trial later Ford told how he shot Jesse in the back. Ford later was killed in a Denver saloon brawl. . It. Broke Up the Band. This broke up the James band. Frank, In hiding, began negotiations for surrender and gave himself up in October, 1882, and was sentenced to prison fpr_ life.,. * • After several years in prison con sumption was believed to have mark ed him for der.th and he was pardon ed. Soon after this he apparently re gained his health, and never again was menaced by consumption. “I’m glad I can spend my last days in quiet,” said Frank James re cently. “How fitting It will be for me to die in bed at the end of a life of more than average length after so many times looking death in the face.” Being asked if there was any ex ploits in his early life that he wanted to tell about ho answered: , “No; that was a different Frank Janies.” WILL BE UNFRIENDLY. Uart-anza Heya U. S. Should Not Use Armed Force. “If the United States employs force to stop the firing by Mexicans across the International boundary line at Xaco, it will be considered an un friendly act, notwithstanding the friendly motive cloaking the act.” In this manner Carranza made an swer in a statement to the Associated Press to the formal notice served by the United States on both Provisional President Gutierrez and Gen. Car ranza that unless such firing ceased, force would be employed to protect American territory. Carranza's reply to the American note will repudiate responsibility for shots that have crossed the line and clearly set forth that he and bla gov ernment will regard Intervention at Naco as a hostile act. At no time since the receipt of Secretary Bryan’s note calling atten tion to the repeated wounding and killing of residents of the American town has Gen. Carranza appeared per turbed, but he has had long confer ences with those close to him. and, in framing his reply it is said he has been careful not to let himself stand in any uncertain light. “Gen. Hill, Constitutionalist com mander of the forces at Naco, is on the defensive,” continued Gen. Car- ranzo, “and, since his back was to the line, It is difficult to see how he could be responsible for the tiring. The Fact is that Maytorena's men have been attacking and therefore it appears reasonably clear that they, and only they, could have been to blame. . - “As a matter of fact I do not know that the righto of American citizens have been violated. It seems to me that it would be well for the state department to Investigate the ques tion in order to fix the responsibility. “I remember similar instances at El Paso, when the Madero forces were attacking there. In that case those shots were for the most part the Im prudent and curious individuals who flocked to witness the figthing as if it had been a spectacular show staged for their benefit. “As to the use of forest of which Mr. Bryan talks, that is something the gravity of which I fear he does not fully apfeciate. He says it would not mean an invasion of our territory or a violation of 6ur national sover eignty. It would. Andmoreover.it would certainly be an act directly against the Constitutionalists who now hold the town, and If In favor of the Villaists, who would be left free to continue their operations. It would be simply tying Gen. Hill’s hands and leaving Maytorena free. “I sincerely hope that the good friendship of the American people to ward the Mexican people will prevent the consummation of Secretary Bry an's threat.” Indicted for “Stealing News.” Three men yere indicted in New ,York Friday for stealing news from the Associated Press and serving It out to their patrons.

Norway, Denmark and Sweden Repre sented by Their Sovereigns. A Reuter .dispatch from Malmo, Sweden, describes an enthusiastic demonstration in honor of the kings of Norway, Denmark and Sweden, who had been conferring there. A huge crowd cheered the kings on their departure. King Sustav and King Haakon bade a cordial farewell to King Chris tian aboard the cruiser Hcimdal, which then sailed to Copenhagen. The kings of Sweden and Norway proceeded to the station, where King Haakon left for Norway ,by special train. King Gustav returned to the •place to await the queen, who ar rived from Berlin. Their majesties then left for Stockholm. FEW BULLETS KILL. Estimated it Tak*** 3,000 Bullets to Kill Each Soldier Slain.. One of the things frequently noted by soldiers at the front in writing to relatives and friends ip the extraor dinary expenditure of bullets requir ed to kill a man. A German report states that many German soldiers fir ed 4,000 cartridges apiece during the first month of the war. An English observer estimated that 25 Gferman shells are wasted for every man kill ed by them. In 1870 it was calculated that the Germans fired 150 bullets and six shrapnel shells for every wounded Frenchman! In the Russo-Japanese war. It is said 3,000 bullets were fired for every life lost.

There is not any question, it seems to me, into which more candor needs to be put, or more thorough human good feel ing than this. I know myself as a Southern man how sincerely the heart of the South d sires the good of the negro and tire advancement of his race on all sound and sensible lines, and. everything that can be done in that direction is pf the highest value. It is a matter of common under standing; “There is a charming story told about Charles Lamb. The conversa tion in his little -ciirele turned upon some men who were not present, and Lamb who, you know, stuttered, said ’I hate that fellow.’ His friend said. ‘Charles, I didn't know you knew him.’ Lamb said. ‘I don't; I—I can’t hate a fellow I—I know.’ “I think that is a very profound human fact. You can not hate a man you know. And our object is to know the needs of the negro and sympathetically help him in every way that Is possible for his good and for our good. I can only bid you God speed in what is a very necessary and great undertaking.” President S. C. Mitchell, of Dela ware College, declared at the open ing session, of the commission's con ference. that the European war em phasized there must he something more than radical and national sen timent in solving the questions of humanity. < "Inclusion and not exclusion must be the policy pursued on all race questions,” he said. Dr. James H. Dillard, of the University of Vir ginia, said he was satisfied there was a growing sentiment among the white and negro leaders in the South In favor of the education of the negro race. In his annual report Dr. Brough reviewed the problems of the race In the South. Under the Anna P. James Foundation he reported 118 counties in twelve states last year improved their negro rural schools, while all the universities represented on the commission were offering courses on. the race question Dr. Brough re ferred to sr-greeatlon as a "mooted question” which formed the only cloud on the horizon. The constructive work before the commissiofi Tfe declared to be: “The socializing and rationalizing of the impulses of an inferior race by im posing upon them the importance of preserving the racial integrity of both races, securing industrial edu cation and ytaining the^oal of eco nomic equality of opportunity.” Dr. Brough believed there was too much zeal among negroes for the ex ternals of education and a growing dislike for domestic service. He pleaded for higher standards among teachers and pieachers of the negro race. “The South feels that race Integra tion and solidarity in a social sense are absolutely necessary to promote the best interests of both races,” Dr. Brough declared in his report: “While willing to concede equality of opportunity in an economic sense she is unalterably opposed to misoo- genation of the races and views with genuine alarm the increase in the number of mulatoes from 1,132,060, or 15.2 per cent, in 1890, to 2,050,- 686, or 20.9 per cent, in 1910. The fundamental incompatibilities of racial temperament and tradition which operate to make the great ma jority of actual unions between the two groups unhappy and the fact that many of those who do enter upon these unions belong to the criminal or anti-social elements of both groups, would seem to indicate the condemnation oJT such-unions by. the better elements of both races as a substantial basis. “The South rejoices with the North that the ne^ro has been made com mendable and rapid progress along economic, hygienic, educational, reli- gious and civic lines within tKfe semi centennial' of his freedom and that a ray of hope into a soul that has de spaired. % If you are happy, if joy surrounds' your home, think not that Christmas is complete, look to your neighbor.
