RECORD TIME MADE ON
GOVERNMENT RAILROAD
The record time for this season
on the Anchorage-Sevrard line of
the Government railroad was made
during the latter part of September,
when passengers from Seward were
landed in Anchorage in nine hours
and twenty-five minutes. A delay of
about an hour was caused on the
Seward division by a car getting off
the track.
The train from Seward came as
far as Mile 56, where it was met
by the Anchorage equipment and
the passengers taken to Anchorage.
The train departed at 7:10 in the
morning and the passengers were
landed in Anchorage at 4:35 in the
afternoon.

HANS BADLY
USED BY JAPAN
KARUIZAWA, Japan—The Con
ference of Federated Missions of
Japan has adopted resolutions con
cerning the disturbance in Korea,
declaring that “we have been forced
to believe that the reports are sub
stantially true and that the people
of Korea have endured sufferings
which are unjust and unnecessary.”
These sufferings, the resolutions
add, might easily be ended once
for all if the methods of adminis
tration were divested ‘‘of that
harshness and cruelty which are so
strangely at variance with the high
and enlightened principles according
to which Japan proper is now gov-^
eroed and with the kind-hearted
ness in which Japan, as a people,
abounds.”
The resolutions express faith that
the Japanese government will in
augurate a more just system. They
add: “We bear testimony to the
passion for enlightenment which is
an indomitable impulse throughout
the heart of the nation, and which
has brought about such general
progress during the half century
since Japan was opened to the
world.
“We have rejoiced in the many
improvements brought about in
orea since that country came under
the authority of the Japanese gov
ernment. We do not wish to con
done any mistakes the Korean peo
ple may have made, nor disregard
the inherent difficulty always at
tached to such an administrative
task as that in hand in Korea.
“But we wish to give clear and
public expression to our unmingled ■
sympathy with those of the Korean ;
people to whom recent troubles
have brought cruel and unmerited
suffering. And we wish to give our
moral support—and this is the chief
reason for making this statement—
to any steps looking to a real and
permanent bettering of conditions
in Korea.”

CRIME GROWING
IN GERMANY AG
PEACE RETURNS
BERLIN.—Germany has increas
ingly taken to crime since the revo
lution, and the once orderly empire,
where pickpockets were almost un
known and holdups and robberies
created a sensation, is undergoing
an epidemic of crime. Probably no
system has proved more effective
than, in these days of uncertainty
and change, playing the official or
impersonating a soldier or a police
man.
Recently two clever criminals, who
discovered that a certain man had
concealed in his house 115 thousand
mark notes of the old type and
liable to confiscation, had frightened
him into surrendering the money on
the promise of escaping prosecution.
A real official, who had nosed out
.the plot, entered just in time to
see the transfer of the money, and
really did confiscate it, besides ar
resting the three men.
More successful was another false
official scheme. Here a group suc
ceeded in inducing a man who had
hoarded 50 thousand-mark bills to
sell them at a handsome profit. The
deal was in progress when fellow
conspirators, posing as officials, ap
peared. confiscated the money and
robbed the owner.
An airplane was used to capture
criminals when the authorities got
wind recently of an attempt to
carry twenty million marks on an
express train to Munich, whence
they were to be smuggled across the
Swiss border.
Robberies at railroad stations
from express cars have been increas
ing to a great extent. Countless
cases of false papers for the de
livery of goods have been discov
ered, usually after it was too late.
The discovery of two freightear
loads of bacon lying on a siding at
a suburban station led to the dis
j covery of a huge swindle originating
! in Holland, conducted from the
: Rhineland, and making use of false
i bills of lading. Many railroad men
;were involved in a small way for
itheir share in handling the faked
bills of lading.
The constant swindling extends
to every imaginable kind of food
'and raw material. A young man
|appeared recently at a storehouse in
; Berlin and asked to have some cases
| stored. When the warehouse watch
jman saw the cases, he was suspi
'cious, because thev came from the
i
j imperial textile plant at Zwickau,
i So he reported the presence of the
cases. Investigation showed 5,000
yards of textiles worth 120,000
j marks, and the young man was cap
jtured by a ruse. He had procured
: the cloth on a forged order bearing
i the signature of the textile authori
ties.
