POLICE MAKE A CAPTURE
Alleged Leader Of Desperate Gang OF
Safe Robbers Located in
Pennsylvania.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 4.-Chief OF
Police Strayer, of Beaver, with Super
intendent Bradley, of the Fort Wayne
Railroad company police, and several
officers rounded up Robert Fay, alias
Big Bob Frey, alleged to be one of the
most dangerous men in the country,
Friday night in a shanty near Morado,
Pa. Fay Is said to be the leader of a
gang OF safe crackers who have been
operating in western Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Ohio. Five mem
bers OF the gang were captured at
Evans City last yeek, but Fay escaped.
He was located at the shanty of Edith
Henderson Friday night. When the
officers surrounded the place John
Kisser, alias Jack Creasent, a member
of the gang, walked out with a young
woman. He ran into the officers and
opened fire on them, which was re-
turned. He dashed back into the
shanty, where Fay was heading out
They refused to surrender and the
officers set fire to the shanty. Both
men were nearly suffocated when they

IMPEACHMENT OF sWAYNE
HOUSE TO CONSIDER THE REso-
LUTON THURSDAY.
An Effort Will Be Made, It Is Said,
to Prevent a Vote at
This Session.

Washington, April 4.-The Post says:
An agreement has been reached where.
by the resolution to impeach Judge
charles Swayne, of the northern district
OF Florida, will be called up for consid-
Grafton inthe. house nexttThursday. The
time is satisfactory to Mr.. Palmer (Pa.),
who prepared the majority reporteof the.
Judiciary committee in favor of impeach-
ment; and also to'Mr. Gillette (Cal.),
who prepared the chief minority repore
against impeachment. Speaker Cannon
q agreed. to. Thursday for considera-
ton OF the resolution. An attempt win
De made byTsome Of the: republican leads
ers in the house to have the matter re-
committed to the judiciary committee,
thus avoiding at this session aSvote on
the merits of the case. What they CON
tend is that a simple justification for this
course has been found in the alleged
fact that the testimony as published by
the committee is not complete. The
charge is made that important papers
and afidavits have been withheld from
the house. and 1t will be insisted that
before the house is asked to vote on the
resolution 1t has a right to all the in
formation that was before the commit
tee when it agreed, by a vote of eight to
five, to report a resolution favoring the
impeachment of Judge Swayne. II the
leaders fail in their effort to have the
case recommitted, they will endeavor
/ n some other way to prevent a vote on
the merits of the case at this time. 1t
is suggested as an alternative PROPOSE
ton that a day after the converting of
the lex regular session of congress be
set for a vote. The desire for delay is
not generally shared by members of the
Judiciary committee, either those who
favor or those who oppose impeachment.
Mr.. Gillette, who prepared the report
against impeachment, said that he was
willing the matter should be disposed OF
at once on it's merits, after proper time
for debate.

Important part and the Germans who
are in politics seem to have divided into
factions in the senator's home town. 1t
is out Of this factional disturbance that
the charges against him have grown.
Most of the witnesses who have app
peared before the committee are of Ger,
man extraction and many Of them
speak English with so marked a dialect
that the venerable members of the COM
m,ttee have difficulty In comprehend
ing what is said, while the ste~nographers
are driven to desperation in their en-
deavor to make an accurate report.
Charges made by reputable witnesses
are denied with emphasis by equally
reputable witnesses, SO that the result
of the Investigation is likely to be q clean
s.bill OF health for the senator.
The most serious charge is that made
by Leopold Hahn, whom Dietrich de-
cIined to reappoint as postmaster. He
asserted before the committee that MI.
Fisher, his successor as postmaster, had
told him that he had been Obliged to
pay the senator for his appointment.
This Fisher now denies. But Hahn Of
