Fink Finishes .

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Commiss;oner
Fink concluded his argument today before
the house commerce committee against the
Reagan railroad bill. In closing the remarks
he urged upon the committee the importance
OF putting good men upon any commission
which congress might create. The Reagan
bill would simply disorganize and destroy the
system it is supposed to be designed to per-
feet. The best plan of all perhaps, would be
to aave congress give to the existing railroad
commission the power of imposing penalties
This would, in his opinion, settle the matter
- once.

graphs, and Frank Lewis, who was recently
bound over to the grand jury in the sum of
$500 for attempting to rob the bank of Min

NEATLY TRAPPED.
A Noted Desperate for Whom 81 900 Is
Offered.

Offered.
J A few weeks ago the GLOBE publishes
an account of the escape from the AL
bany county, New York, Jail of the no.
torious Chicago craftsman and crook,
William Burke, alias "Billy the Kid
At the same time it wa, stated that he
was wanted for grand larceny in Cleve-
land, and that a reward of 800 would be
paid for his arrest
If the career of this noted deperado
could be fully written up it would no
doubt form one of the most sensational
chapters in the history of criminal doings
in this country.
That his criminal career IS abruptly
terminated at least for some time to come
Is a natural suppOsition from the fact of
his arrest, which took place yesterday af-
ternoon. The arrest was made in Mime
opolis and was accomplished by Detective
O'Connor, of St. Paul, and Detective Hoy,
of the former city.
1t may be remembered that a few days
since the police of Minneapolis took in
limbo young man charged with at
tempting q sneak On one of the
financial institutions of that city.
Since his confinement knowledge came
to Capt. Clark and Detective O'Connor
of this city that the young man in durance
for the attempted sneak was Identical
with VIM. Burke, whose operations had
been so successful in the east and who
escaped from the Albany Jail onJ January 7.
A net was spread to trap the game, as
it was known that he would easily pro-
cure bail and at once skip the country
Yesterday afternoon he was released on
5000 bail, and was nabbed, as before
stated, by O'Connor and Hoy. as he
came out of the court house.
The recent exploits of burke or ''Billy
the Kid" entitle him to more than pass
ing notice. Among his successful
''sneaks' was that made on the bank of
Cleveland about the first Of last Decem-
Der when he got away with bonds
amounting to $4,000. He then jour
neyed east and about the first of January
he made sneak ON bank in Albany,
securing $50, 900 IN cash and $4,000 in
bonds. He was arrested and afterwards
succeeded in making his escape A tele-
gram was forwarded to Sheriff Houck, of
Albany, last night informing him of the
arrest of the fugitive.

CHICAGO, March 1S.-There was little done
in the wheat market today, as the boys are
not inclined to do much business where the
clique keep their grip on the deal. 1t is now
stand-off as to whether the gang run the
corner through or sell what they have.
Should they do the latter, you will see drop
in prices that will make the capillary adorn-
ment of the bulls become suddenly elevated.
May closed at $1.274. The curb now is
$1.26a.
Much to my surprise and disgust corn took
a tumble, but the drop was caused by rumors
that in some Of the elevators it was out Of
condition.
Provisions sick and lower.
