MISSIONER ROGERS.
Young Man Charged With Robbing
Hotel Guests Here Arrested
in Baltimore.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, October 13.-Robau
E. Fennell the alleged hotel thief. who Is
wanted by the Washington authorities. was
taken before United States Commissioner
Rogers today and remanded to jail for
final hearing next Wednesday.
When the prisoner was arraigned his
counsel Mr.. Harry B. Wolfe, stated that
the defense was not ready to proceed with
the hearing, and asked a postponement.
which Commissioners Rogers granted.
Among those present at the hearing was
Gen. Robert B. Beath who identified one
gentlemans gold watch and chain as being
A. r. badges, one g. A. r. button. a gold
brooch. valued in all at $275; four pocket
books. one Of which had contained a $50
note, which was not recovered.
Philadelphia, Pa. Miss Annie Coulter and
her father. Captain Adrian Coulter. were
also present. and Miss Coulter identified as
her property one lady's watch chain. four
shirt studs. three gold cuff pms gold
cross and a California gold dollar. In all
valued at $50. Captain Coulter, who resides
at 3O5 South Leavitt street, Chicago. iden-
titled one gold-flled watch and chain. val
ued at SIS.
Young Fennell who Is regarded by
the police here as new one In the
work. says that he comes of a good fam
lily ana Will serve long pendi sentence De-
fore he will divulge his real name. When
taken to the Bertillion bureau last Friday
to be photographed and measured Fennell
made strenuous objection, and in an out
burst of wrath said that he would divulge
nothing whatever of those who were with
him or of his antecedents.
His general bearing, however, indicates
that he comes from refined surroundings
and he speaks in fluent and excellent En-
glish and Is altogether rather attractive
parsonage.
The police, in support Of their theory that
he is a novice. point to the fact that Fen
nell did not drop the pocket books. Of which
he had number, while in transit between
Washington and Baltimore. He also regis
tered at the Rennert in Baltimore as Rabail
f. Fennell and made no effort to hide his
identity. This the police regard as a most
unusual feature Of the case.
On Saturday last he was arraigned before
Justice Laden at the western police station
and a number OF stolen articles were identt-
fled. The justice, however. in order to IA
cilitate the movement Of justice, dismissed
the charge oagafhst Fennelll in order that
the prisoner might be taken into custody
by the United States marshal at once and
allow an early hearing before the United
States commissioner.

clerks in second-class post offices receiving
annual salaries of less than $500 be given
annual increases until $500 Is reached, and
all clerks in first-class post offices receiv-
ing annual salaries of less than 81 900 be
annually increased until 81 COO Is reached.
The bill also fixes the minimum at second
class post offices at $500. and at first-class
post offices at $500 per annum. The aver
age post office clerk Is certainly the peer Of
the letter carrier. and this bill simply pro-
vides that a post office clerk shall receive
a salary of 81 900 in first-class post offices
at the end of four years satisfactory SER
vice. Under the present law regulating let
ter carriers salaries a letter carrier re-
ceives $1,000 salary at the end Of two
years
The estimate to meet this bill provides
an increase of SLAP 100. promotes 1O.415
clerks in the lower grades and provides for
the appointment Of 2.2S5 clerks additional,
at $500 and 5000 per annum. An estimate
without regard to the proposed c,assifics<
ton bill would only admit of reduction
OF 100000. but In order to make this re-
duction the department would be required
to employ many new clerks at $500 instead
of $500 per annum.
Increased Appropriations Asked.
THE department has repeatedly recon-
mended to Congress that small allowance
for clerk hire or deputy postmaster be
allowed postmasters Of Offices of the third
class when it has been satisfactorily DEM
oEstrated that the postmaster by deyotinR
his entire time to the duties of the Office
cannot. unaided. meet the public demands.
1t Is obvious that no one person can con-
tinuousiy. without relief. keep a post once
open during the hours required by the de-
partment. and 1t IL equally clear that many
Of the larger thicd-class post offices require
at times more than two persons. There are
1.6sO post Offices at which the salaries Of
the postmasters range from 81. 500 to 81, 800
per annnrn. at many OF which postmaStezs
