The rapidly increasing volume of
travel to the Pan American exposition,
though heightened by the glowing re-
ports of returned tourists that the ex-

train service, diverse and variable
route tickets, as we'll as stop-0vers at a
large number eff scenic points.

Washington, July pa man claim
ing to be James Gray, formerly of
Union Pier, Mich, and Chicago, was
arrested here to-day on suspicion of
being implicated in the Fosburgh muir
der at Pittsfield Mass. Gray had just
stepped out of jail after serving f1f-
teen days for stealing a hat from a
hotel, when detectives arrested him.
Affidavits secured by Captain Titus,
chief of detectives, of New York,
hcarge a man named Gray with COM
hitting a burglary and shooting a wo-
man about the same time and in the
same vicinity as the Fosburgh tragedy
occurred.
bet ective Captain Boardman learned
three days ago that Gray was taking
an unusual interest in reports of the
Fosburgh trial. and spent much time in
it's discussion. Gray told the detect
ives that he was from Indianapolis, but
authorities there have no trace of him.
o-day he said that his father lived
there, and that he himself had lived at
Union Pier, then went to Chicago, and
later was employed on a railroad at
Cumberland, Md.
Gray was later released, the authori-
ties being convinced that he had no
connection with the Fosburgh case.
