grand jury, and in default of bond for 81 500
she was committed to Jail
Miss Robinson did not give the impress
sion of being a hardened criminal She
was led into the court room from one of
the witness rooms at about IL o'clock and
stood directly in front of Clerk Potts while
he read the information charging her with
robbery from George OBlander of $40 in
money and 30 marks German money! A
tear dropped out of her eye and she brush
ed 1t away.
How do you plead. guilty or not gulty?'
There was a considerable hesitancy and
she fixed her eyes on the floor. Finally, her
lips moved. as If they would express the
word, Guilty" But it was not heard.
Guilty or not guilty?"
Guilty. was the reply. In a low tone of
voice, and she sank into the chair that had
been placed for her by Deputy United
States Marshal Lacey.
O'Blander, from whom she is alleged to
have taken the money, met the girl on the
street, near the New Willard Hotel and
after getting in conversation with her they
went for a walk together. After they had
separated Mr. OBlander reached In his
pocket for his money and found that his
pocketbook was gone. He complained to
the police about the matter and detectives
were a once put on the case. Several days
ago they arrested a man who has been in
police clutches before. as the accomplish of
the woman. He gave his name as John
Wesley, but later said his name was Joseph
rested. The girl was charged with rob-
ceiving stolen property. When he was
arraigned in court on this charge he plead
ed not guilty: and the evidence in the case
was heard. He admitted to the detectives
who had arrested him in the presence of
the girl, that they had divided the spos
and he had gotten over half. The pawn
shop keeper told of having received the
German pieces left at his shop by this de-
PENDANT where they were recovered The
bond was fixed In his case at 81, 900, in de-
fault of which he was committed to jail to
await the action of the grand jury
In the room where these defendants are
said to have been living as man and wife

came with him. The father and daughter
were met at the car in front of the college
by Miss May, who had been anxiously

easier He finally succeeded in reaching
the building and was walking across the

In the Newspaper Field.

Following the war he re-entered the news
paper field and became connected with the
Philadelphia Post, having been one of the
founders of that journal He later went to
Columbus, Ga, to accept the position of
editor of the Enquirer of that city, but the
reconstruction period then being at its
height, he concluded that a northern man
was somewhat out of place in that sect on.
He then came to Washington and became
night editor of the old National Republican,
and later correspondent of the New ork
Times and the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Since that introduction to Washington
newspaper work he has never left the held
and is still active in is work.
He was offered the place of secretary to
the President by President Mckinley, but
declined, which course he had prev. ous!y
ken when President Harrison wanted him
to become an assistant secretary of the
Treasury. The offer from Pres dent Nc
kinley came through the acquaintance lie
had with the President while the latter was
chairman of the committee on ways and
experience in tariff legislation has been
wide, and he is accredited with great pow
ers as an exponent of those laws. He was
one of the founders of the Gridiron Club,
and has been twice the president of that
organization of correspondents. He is
member of the standing committee of cor
respondents, which has charge of adm s
sions to the press galleries of the Senate
and House and is we'll and lovingly known
to every correspondent in the capital. II
he takes the place offered him he will leave
newspaper work and devote himself to his
duties for the government.

CRISIS IN STRIKE NEAR
ONE OF TWO THINGS EXPECTED
THIS WEEK.
Either the End or Worst Industrial
Upheaval Chicago Has Ever
Known.

Chicago, May This week will
either bring an end to the teamsters'
strike or else see one of the worst
industrial upheavals in the history Of
the city.
The present trouble, which has last
ed for two weeks, has reached a
point where the business men involy-
ed appear to have gained a decided
advantage and the teamsters seem
now to be in a position where they
must either yield or decide to extend
the strike by calling out thousands oil
other Workmen engaged in affiliated
unions. This the strike leaders up to
the present time have refrained from
doing, while on the other hand the
business men today made prepara-
tons which, if carried out successful
ly, will indicate that the teamsters
will be compelled to surrender or call
on the other unions for assistance.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
the central body for all the unions in
the city, met today, but took no action
looking to an extension of the trouble.
A great deal of incendiary talk was
INDUCED in, but nothing definite, with
the exception of the passing of resolu-
tions charging the Employers asso-
citation with conspiracy and asking
that States Attorney Healy start an
investigation of their business meth
ods was decided upon.
Arrangements have been made by
every business house involved in the
trouble to at least double their force
of non-union men tomorrow.
Tonight it was stated that all pre-
parations had been made to start out
1000 wagons tomorrow morning man
ned by non-union men. Each of these
wagons will be guarded by deputy
sheriffs or policemen, and each one Of
these men has received explicit in
structions to prevent disturbances OF
any kind. II peaceful means fail the
deputies and policemen have been in
structed to use their revolvers, and
use them to kill.
