YOUNG THIEF REARRESTED
BEN MOSES NOT ALLOWED TO LONG
ENJOY HIS FREEDOM.
Three of His Companions Also Taken
Into CustOdy-Serious Charges
Against the Quartet.

Ben Moses, young colored lad. laughed
heartily at his comrades of the last two
weeks when the door was opened yesterday
and he was allowed to pass out of the work
house a free man. But he didn't remain
free long. for just outside the door PATROL
man Lee awaited him and Immediately ar
rested him and three others and placed
several grave charges against each. James
Reagon. Tom Miller and Fred Baker were
the names Of the others arrested and these
four young men constitute one of the worst
gangs of thieves and highway robbers that
has been caught in the city for some time.
Moses and Reagon about five weeks ago
held up a man and took sl5S5 from him,
and it is thought that many more of the
highway robberies can be traced directly to
these men. 1t is positively known that Mil
ler robbed five houses in one night on Cora
street and perhaps many more in different
parts OF the city. Baker and Moses are
known to be the two men that have COM
mitted several small thefts in the past few
months. The last charge placed against
them Is for the wholesale larceny of chick
ems and turkeys.
Most OF the information anent these rob-
berries was given the police by the boys
themselves one day last week while being
questioned by Patrolman Lee and Captain
Kinney. Two of them were in the work
house and two in jail, and when all of them
were brought face to face each accused the
other or doing this OF robbing that place
until they finally all but came to blows
Meanwhile the officers kept still and calmly
listened to what they had to say When
they were about ready to fight Kinney sep
arated them, and, seeing they had been
caught In their own game. several made
confessions. These boys have all been in
the city for number of years, but none of
them at the time of their arrest had a
home.

Mitchell TO COLORADO
NINE WORKERS PRESIDENT WILL
TRY TO SETTLE STRIKE.
He Left for Chicago Last Night to AT
t.,a a Memorial Meeting In Honor
of Late Henry ID. Lloyd.

John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers, left last night for Chicago,
where he will attend a memorial meeting
I'm honor of the late Henry d. Lloyd. From
Chicago Mr.. Mitchell will go directly to
the Western mining fields of Colorado,
where the strike of the miners is still un-
settled. General dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed about the headquarters yesterday
concerning the management of the strike
I'm the northern fields, where conference
was held by representatives of the miners
and the employers. It is said at the head
quarters that the men are not striking Tor
increased wages, as was held out in the
conference in the northern field, but for
the enforcement of the law. 1t was the
firm belief of the officials that the smen
should have gone to work in the northern
fields, which would have split the oper-
ators.
Mr. Mitchell will assist in the settlement
of the strike if it is possible without bend
ing too much to the employers. He has
already wired the president of the local
mine workers union in Colorado that he
will be in the field shortly unless delayed
by sickness and in such an event he will
send either Secretary Wilson or Vice Pres
