GRAND LARCENY CHARGED
Arrest of Man Accused of Steal
ing Typewriters.
Police Investigate His Career Here
and in Bnltimore-Said to Have
Sold Machines Secured ON Rental
Missing Property Recovered.

After a career in this city and Ralti-
more which led to numerous complaints
to the police of both cities, Louis ]. Bern
hard, also known as Andrew ]. Collier
Is lodged at the Sixth precinct station, on
New Jersey Avenue northwest, charged
with grand larceny. Detective Sergeant
Helan, Of Headquarters went over to Bal
timore yesterday. and last night returned
with the prisoner. One or more type
writer's. which Bernhard is credited with
having stolen, have already been recov-
cred, and investigation of his record is
still going on.
Less than a month ago Bernhard was in
this city. and his address was given as sls
. Twenty-second Street northwest. This
address proved to be fictitious, and many
of his statements proved untrue. II is
known that he visited Ernest II. Carnes,
agent of the United Typewriter Company,
whose offices are at Fourteenth and F
Streets northwest, Oil or about June 26
and shortly afterward secured from the
hrnlsone Densmore typewriter, valued at
$50 This machine, the police say, was not
paid for. nor has it since been settled for
at all. Two or three days afterward I.nos
S. Newman. a dealer in typewriters, at
9o4 F Street northwest, had occasion to
report that man, apparently forty years
old. giving the name of Collier. hired
typewriter from him, and had sold it. in
alleged violation of the contract made
when the machine was rented.
Alfred c. Newman & Son, also dealers
in machines, next appeared with a SINH
lar story. causing the police to begin an
investigation of the various cases of
theft Nothing was learned for some time
until Detective HeFan, on Monday last,
read in the Baltimore papers of the ar
rest of man named Collier on charge
of stealing typewriters. Hefan surmised
that the prisoner might be the party who
operated here month ago. Accordingly,
the detective went TO Baltimore yester-
day. and. from the description given by
firms in this city, was able to identify
the fugitive as, Collier, or Bernhard The
Baltimore police agreed to turn Bernhard
over to the local detective, and he was
brought to this city last night
Prior to the arrival of the prisoner it
was learned that Charles Labofsh.
dealer in typewriters at, az Ninth Street
northwest. had also suffered the loss of
n machine valued at sl5. All these COM
plants were presented to Bernhard on
his arrival. but he declined to make a
statement to the detectives. However,
stolen here was sold to ]. p. Fichene. of
West Calvert Street, Baltimore. and an
other machine to Robert J. Nicholson. of
222 East Baltimore Street. Baltimore. The
last typewriter was sold for 500 While
in Baltimore Helan learned that Bernhard
had been working his scheme in that city
The police there apparently had no posi-
while several charges stand against him
here.

WESTERN HEAT uNBRoKEN.
No Prospect Of Early Relief 1. Held
out, ? .i

According to the Weather Bureau re-
ports last night the drought in the great
corn belt las not beenlbroken. The farming
sections are still dry and hot The tenn
peratures generally throughout the Mid
die West yesterday were somewhat lower,
but in a number of localities the mercury

Louis. which experienced. .los degrees. and
st. Paul, which recorded 104. had the
hottest weather ever known in those two
cities yesterday. All previous records were
broken.
There were more thunder showers in the
northern. or wheat belt, yesterday, but
they we're entirely local. and, while con-
ditions were somewhat improved by the
slight rains, the Weather Bureau says
that unless unlooked-for. changes occur,
1t will become just as hot again by Friday.
AT Green Bay, Wis, and Marquette, Mich.
slight showers were reported The rain
fan in no place in the country yesterday,
however, exceeded one-half an inch. Hot
weather will again prevail in the corn
belt, with no prospect of break in the
torrid atmospheric conditions. There may
be slight showers in the farming sections
today. but the rainfall will not bring
permanent relief
In the northern tier of States, from the
Dakotas through the lakes eastward,
showers may be looked for today Slight
showers may possibly bring some relief
in parts of Nebraska, Iowa, and northern
Illinois. There may be also partial re-
lief in the upper portions of the corn
belt.
a hailstorm was reported yesterday at
Louisiana. Mo. The temperature line of
10e degrees encircles the upper MISSISSIPPI

COAL MINES RKsuM1Na.
All the Striking Firemen Likely to
BE RciBstated.

wILKEBARRE, Pa. July A.-All the
mines, except half dozen where repairs
are being made, were working in this
district today. and the outlook is now
that the United Mine Workers will not be
called upon to take any vigorous meas
ures to compel the companies to take back
the striking firemen.
The officials Of the Mine Workers have
decided TO wait for about week before
they hold another meeting to discuss the
situation. then if the men are not all
taken back something will be done in
their behalf The companies still refusing
to reinstate their men are: The Lehigh
Valley, Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern. Susquehanna, Erie, Temple Coal and
Iron Company, and the Reading, but they
all have taken some of the strikers back.
The prospects are that before many more
days the men who were engaged to take
the strikers places will resign and make
room for all the strikers.

HER FALL May PROVE FATAL.
Mrs. MitcheIHs Recovery From In
Juries Considered Unlikely,

Although Mrs. Ophelia Mitchell. color
ed. who was 50 severely injured yester-
day morning by falling ou. of a second
story window at her home. 1i24 Florida
Avenue northwest, is showing remarkable
vitality and is bearing up remarkably
under her terrible injuries. the physicians
at the Emergency Hospital fear that
there is little likelihood of her ultimate
recovery.
Mrs. Mitchell has been sick for nearly
a year and yesterday morning about 3
o'clock went To the window TO get a
breath of fresh air. She evidently lost
her balance and in her weakened condi-
tion was unable to save herself from fall
ing to the pavement. She was picked up
and carried into the house, where she
was attended by DR.. William n. Fisher,
OF 1907 Fourteenth Street northwest. 1t
was found that she had sustained Il frac-
ture of the collar bone and of the bones
of the leg and thigh. She was also over
come by a hemorrhage of the lungs and
injury. On the advice of the physician
she was later removed to the Emergency
Hospital.

ALASKAN GOLD OUTPUT.
Fears That the Fields Were Becoming
Exhausted Dispelled.


Washington, Sept 9.-The treasury
I department has received reports from:
san Francisco and Seattle regarding
the receipts of Alaskan gold at hose
places during July and august. Earl
Ter IN the year gold receipts from Alas
ka fell off 80 notably that there vas
apprehension here that those fel!s 80
especially at Nome-were running out.
These apprehensions are in Il measure
dispclled by the fact that during the
TWO months just passed thsre was re-
ceived at san Francisco and Seattle
$lO.l36.2U5 in gold from Alaska. as
against $i2,3ls,429 for the correspond.
ing months OF last year
the department also learns. through
mail advices from cape Nome dated
August ) that the sole reason fo- A
smaller output Of gold from there thi.
summer was the very late Alaskan
spring. on the day that the letter was
written tn writer, Dr., Whiteside. said
that here was as much snow on the
ground as on June 3 Il year ago. The
best claims the writer SAID. were froy
en- so hard that they could not be work
cd
In view Of these facts the treasury
officials believe that the gold produc.
ton Of the Alaskan fields for Septern-
Der viii be heavier than ever before.
and that the output for the entire sea-
son VIII equal the production of last
year.
