Dead Ohio RObber Possibly Was a
Member Of a Prominent Family

TOLEDO, o., March 31.-The shipment to
Toledo and the burial here of the remains
of Frank Adams. the postoffice robber who
was killed near Cleveland while attempting
to rob the Bedford (O) postoffice, has had
startling results. The first was the arrest
at the Union depot of a man who was
awaiting the arrival of the remains and his
subsequent hearing and detention for ex-
animation under $500 bond. The prisoner
gave his name as John Nj. Ray, of Cleve-
land. An examination of his clothing
showed that they had been made in Cleve-
land, but purse was stamped John NJ.
Ray Lorain. O." This has led the police
to believe that the dead robber, Frank
Adams was travelling under an assumed
name, that he was member of one of the
most prominent and respectable families in
Iorain or one of the neighboring towns
and that his sister and Ray had brought
him here for burial TO keep his identity
secret City Detective Carew this after
noon found a photo which looks wonder
fully like the dead robber. The picture
was that of Harry Jones, alias Kid Nc
Millen who was in a safe-blowing job at
Bloomfield, O., some years ago.

I'm progress several weeks. he had received
no notification from the board Of trustees

coming to Boston. He was appointed TO
the pastorship of church in Newton,
Mass, before going to Maiden. During his
pastorship in the latter city, the longest OF
any Methodist pastor ever stationed IA
Maiden, his elouuence and earnestness has
won for him a leading place among local
clergymen and he Is popular not only with
his own congregation. but with the COM
munity at large as well. He has a wife and
several young children. His energies have
been concentrated upon church work and
he has not been conspicuously identified
with any collateral lines OF labor.

Hisher Wages, Bigger shipments.

PITTSBURG, March 31-Bituminous coal
miners of Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana and
Illinois worked their last day to-day under
the agreement made in January OF last
year. To-mcrrow the agreement providing
for an advance goes into effect and every
man about the mines will get an increase of
10 per cent. and some OF them 20 per cent
1t will affect nearly 100000 men. Perhaps
the most notable gain made is in the GEN.
tral field OF Pennsylvania. In other dis
tricts the diggers have been working eight
hours a day and In this field nine. To-mor-
row, besides getting a substantial increase
in wages, they will work on the eight-hour
basis.
The lake shipping season also opens to-
morrow. The indications are that there will
be more coal shipped this year than ever
before Last fall. when navigation closed
the supply for the Northwest was several
millions short. This year local shippers
will start early in getting coal to the lakes
and the prospects look bright.
