CLEVELAND, March 3O.-Investigation
shows that James Robinson, who is now
under arrest in Chicago for violating the
postal laws, is the same man who, until a

'overbearing manner toward public men,

other Chief Magistrate OF the American

nation around his Administration by a
single act of manly, straightforward
