Police Thought to Be In
Making
BERNSTE|N'S ARREST
Capture OF Everett Roby at Al
lance Believed to Be First
Step in Unearthing
Organized Gan
(From a STAFF Correspondent,

Columbus, March 31.-The arrest by
government detectives of Pawnbroker
Bernstein at his place of business in
this city charged with receiving and
disposing of stamps stolen from the
United States government. has created
a sensation. Bernstein had hearing
before the United States commissioner
at Columbus and was released under
$4,000 bond, which he had no trouble
in securing.
He is charged with being in league
with gang of which Everett Roby and
Burglar Jim" Anderson are the lead
ers. Roby, it will be remembered,
was captured by the chief of police Of
Alliance about two weeks ago as he
was about to enter the home of his
sweetheart at Moultrie, Columbiana
county. He was brought here and
charged with numerous safe cracking
jobs.
NEAT LITTLE ROMANCE.
He has been placed under 81 900 bond
for his appearance at the next term of
the federal court which convenes here
in June. He was unable to securs bail
and Is still i'm jail. The arrest of
Roby Is somewhat tinged with ro-
nance. The young lady to whom he
made love is the daughter of prom
inent resident of Moultrie. She never
suspected that he was any other than
an exemplary young man, and was
profoundly astonished over his arrest.
He seemed to be gentleman, mild
hammered and all that, and indeed, his
appearance is that Of one who would
be the last person in the world to
commit crime Burglar Jim" is
another such a fellow. He is polite
to Cehsterfieldian degree and is quite
polished. He is a graduate of Univer-
sity university, ut there is indisput-
able evidence that he is bad 'un.
He was taken at Johnstown soon af-
ter Roby's capture.
He Is in Jail under $4,000 bond.
The numerous safe-blowing jobs which
have taken place in Ohio with such
unremtting regularity during the past
two years are charged up to his gang.
AFTER ROBY'S PALS.
Detectives are on the trail of the
other members, and expect to run them
down. Roby's mother lives in Cleve-
land. She called on him and wept
bitterly when she learned the nature
of the charge against him. She re-
fused to believe him guilty, and said
that he was not bad boy when with
her A host of witnesses will appear
against them.
A kit of burglar tools and bottle
of nitro-glycerine, which Roby and An
derson threw away, were recovered and
will be used as evidence against them.
Bernstein, the pawnbroker, 1t is be-
lieved has been disposing Of the loot
of the gang. He sold stamps to Col
umbus men which the gang Is alleged
to have stolen from postoffices and the
detectives haye the cancelled checks
which he accepted in payment for
them. He has been in trouble of this
kind before, but managed to wrigge
out Of it with a light sentence.

WHY ENGLAND WANTS PEACE IN AFRICA.

A Washington dispatch to the St. Louis Re-
public says: "Washington is deeply interested
in the negotiations for the restoration of peace
in South Africa, for several important reasons.
If peace comes, the investigation into the Brit
ish supply camp at Chalmette, La, will inme-
diately end. American trade in other articles
than cattle and munitions of war will resume
its normal state.
$ "Another reason that must be potent is the
growing danger of serious uprising in Ireland,
where ten battalions of militia were ordered
three days ago.
"Finally, Great Britain's hand will be freed
from the wise of South Africa and she will be
able to play stronger game in the far East.
"There are diplomats here who see in the
negotiations willingness on the part of Great
Britain to obtain peace even sacrifice in order
that she may regain her prestige in China"

EUGENE WARES APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of Eugene Ware to succeed
Evans as pension commissioner was surprise
to everybody. Just how it happened nobody
in Kansas seems to know. Surely, it was not
because of any special fitness for the place, nor
because of any service rendered to his country
or humanity. He certainly had no standing
among the old soldiers. That is, he does not
represent the old soldier element. He can
make rhymes, get off stale jokes and poke fun
at the efforts of loyal Kansans to enforce the
prohibitory law. He can swagger around hotel
corridors, put on airs and play the Smart Aleck
to perfection-but he in no sense represents the
old soldiers of this country. Nor has he ever
done any service to his party, or to Kansas, to
entitle him to the appointment. His appoint
ment goes far toward verifcation of General
Hudson's editorial, which appears in another
column.
