KANSAS CITY, May ia special to the
Star from Pittsburg, Kan, says: A majority
of the coal miners in this district, ordered
out last week by National President Mitchell
of the United Mine Workers of America.
went to work today as usual. The Yale
mines OF the Western Coal and Mining COM
pany and mine No. 81 Of the Kansas &
Texas company are working to their full
capacity. A vote taken yesterday at a mass
meeting of the miners working at Nelson
for the Central Coal and Coke company de-
cided to return to work as soon as repairs
were completed at the mine. which will be
Tuesday or Wednesday. The men at mine
No. Z of the Western Coal and Mining
company reported for work this morning
and would have gone to work but for the
fact that there happened to be a scarcity of
cars. 1t is learned that the men at the
Central Coal and Coke company and Kansas
& Texas mines in Weir City are nearly to
a mar in favor of working and that only
the shafts undergoing repairs are idle. A
peculiar phase Of the agitation is noticed
in the fact that it is principally the union
men who are opposed to a strike and that
the majority OF the non-union men are in
favor OF It.
Mass meetings were held in the various
camps yesterday and were well attended
and the anti-strike feeling was freely ex-
pressed at all of them.

JOHN THOMAS THE BURGLAR
Charged with RObbing Homes of Lawyer
Stewart and Banker Harl.
STOLEN ARTICLES IN HIS POSSESSION
N Easily Identify the stun and
Thomas is Arrested in Omaha on
"a Description Sent by the
Council Bluffs Authorities.

The lone burglar who paid Attorney j. ].
Stewart an early morning call Sunday and
stole his watch and gold-rimmed spectacles
was taken into custody yesterday morning
by the Omaha police on a description fur
nished by the local authorities. The thief
proves to a saffron colored negro, who, when
arrested, gave the name of John Thomas.
There is strong evidence that Thomas is
the same man who broke into Banker Harris
residence on Park avenue and stole a case
of jewelry. He is also thought to have COM
mitted several other robberies in this city
recently. The police believe that the negro
worked alone and had no accomplices on
this side of the river. When searched at
the police station in Omaha Thomas was
found to be wearing the gold watch he had
stolen at Mr.. tewart's house, and the rims
Of two pair of gold spectacles broken up,
ready for disposal as old gold, were also
found on him. The glasses which he had
removed were in one of his pockets. Mr..
Stewart on being notified of the mans ar
rest at once went to Omaha and identified
his watch and spectacles. The other pair
of spectacles was identified by A. j. Durfee
of this city, they having been stolen from
his house a few days ago.
Thomas was wearing in his necktie a
handsome pin set with diamonds, rubies and
sapphires, which was later identified by Mr..
Ernest e. Hart as being one of the articles
of jewelry in the case recently stolen from
his residence.
Although the light was very dim, Attorney
stewart was able to notice Sunday morning
that the burglar who visited him appeared
to be either a very dark skinned white man
or a light-colored negro, and he so informed
the police. This confirmed the suspicious
of the police that the fellow who was COM
hitting the several robberies around town
was a negro, and they sent over a descrip-
ton to the Omaha authorities. The day af-
ter the robbery at Banker Harris house one
of the local pawnbrokers notified Chief Bixby
that a light-colored negro had offered him
for sale a quantity of broken up pieces of
gold that appeared to have been articles
Of expensive jewelry, from which the set
tings had been taken. The pawnbroker said
that he declined to purchase the stuff.
From evidence in the hands of the police
it appears that Thomas lived in Omaha and
used to come over here on a late car and
then return across the river early the next
morning.
John Thomas was brought to Council
Bluffs last night by Chief of Police Bixby
and Detective Weir. He agreed to come
without requisition papers, but refuses to
talk about the robberies with which he
stands charged. He was booked here as
John Thomas, alias John Cunningham,
alias Charles Clay.

Members Take Exception to Treas
urer's Action in Bond Matter.
At the regular meeting of the Board Of
Education last night some of the members
took exception to the action of Treasurer
Davis in entering into a contract with the
First National bank of this city for the pur-
chase of the $67, 900 issue of bonds without
referring the matter to the board for its
approval. The general opinion expressed
was that the treasurer had exceeded his
powers and that he had no authority to en-
ter into a contract on behalf of the school
district.
Treasurer Davis was sent for, and he ex-
planned that as the First National bank
had been the highest bidder he had entered
into a contract for the sale of the bonds
to Cashier Hannah, the sale to be condi-
tional on the validity of the issue. The
treasurer submitted the agreement as signed
by him and Cashier Hannah of the bank.
After considerable discussion the finance
committee, of which Member Stewart is
chairman, was instructed to investigate the
matter and find out from the bank IL 1t
was prepared to take the bonds or not at
the price offered. The committee is to
report at as early a date as possible. In
connection with the matter President Sims
