For Robinson Who Has for the Last
Two Weeks Been in Jail.

wv "NSNc oCSH W. Sdiis
The setting of every sun brings
more trouble for G. B. Robinson, who
for the past two weeks has been held
at the city Jail. A settlement has
not yet been reached with the Amer
ican Speciality Manufacturing Com
pany of this city. The Colonial Per-
fume and Toilet Company of Detroit,
for whom it is alleged that Robinson
also worked. has sent word asking
that their sample cases be sent them
In order that inspection can be made
A letter was received Monday from
G. M. Brown. record keeper of the
Maumee tent of the Maccabees in To-
ledo. He stated that Robinson dis
posed Of a forged check and he asks
that Robinson be kept until he can
get hold of him.
AS no settlement has yet BEEN made
with the American Speciality Manu-
featuring Company, for which purpose
Robinson has been held at the jail,
Mayor Turnbull will have him appear
before him Tuesday morning at 10

The Miners Union is the

tion.

indianapolis, Ind, March Bout
from Wall street to the pawns in the
big game now being played here has
come the word, break the union at
whatever hazard-break the union"
The pawns of Wall street are the
operators now here. Frank Robbins
is one of them. And almost before
the eyes of John Mitchell the miners
union is being squeezed to the wall
to its death perhaps.
If the railroads and United States
Steel corporation thought for min
ute that strike would not break up
the union, they would be against a
strike. At present they think that
If the miners can be made to do the
breaking off it will make quick work
of the death of the organization.
That is what these ridiculous ses-
sions mean. Not a single thing was
accomplished today. Meanwhile big
stories are afioat.
No less a person than w. H. New
man, president of the New York Cen
trail and all of the Vanderbilt Rookie
feller lines spent some time in In
dianapolis last night, and is now with
in easy reach of this city. With him
in his private car are a number of
big railroad men. Whether they are
here in connection with the coal con-
ference is not known.
IN STATE OF DEADLOCK.
While contracts and awards, under
which almost 100000 coal miners are
working are to expire Saturday mid
night, and while even moments are
becoming precious to those who wish
TO avert what may become the greatest
industrial warfare in the history of
this country the Indiana, Ohio, Illi-
nois and western Pennsylvania coal

men were in a state of deadlock
again today.

generating into a social club for kill

this morning were
Called to order by w. d. Ryan.
Adjourned on motion of H. c. Per-
ry, president of the Illinois miners,
until two o'clock" The committee
men during the two and half hours
session sat around in little groups
and there was no discussion except
of the spring weather. Indications
were that the three-cornered fight had
settled down to an endurance test
and might last indefinitely
At two o'clock the joke was re-
peated 1t has become the funniest
kind of joke to both interests. The
session was called to order. AtJer
everybody had time to smoke up
cigar a motion to adjourn was car
ried. The committee will meet again
Tuesday at o'clock. The only mo-
tion that was made was a motion To
adjourn. Not one single word con-
cerning the impending business cri-
sis was said. One miner suggested
that the people would get tired OF
this farce. The remark evoked a
laugh.

LOSING GROUND.

Columbus, O., March 27.-At 2
o'clock this morning the following bull

Governor Pattison is having good
night"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1906-03-30

Columbus, O., March 26.-While
Governor Pattison's physicians are ap'
parently encouraged by his improve
ment, they admit to close friends that
he cannot recover. The tide of vitali-
ty rises and falls, but on the whole he
is losing ground. The physicians ex-
pect from the course of the disease
that there will be periods of improve
ment and depression, which will re-
solve the ultimate outcome into the
question of how much reserve vital
ity the governor possesses. They are
fearful of another relapse at any time,
and have further fear that the gov
ernor has not strength enough to car
ry him through another such attack
as he had yesterday.
MRS. PATTISON'S REQUEST.
At Mrs. Pattison's request the legis-
lature will in all probability adjourn
next Monday The house has already
passed resolution to quit at that
time, Senator Hafner, chairman of
the senate finance committee and one
of the principal opponents to the
plan of adjourning SO early declared
tonight that he had withdrawn his op-
position because he had been told that
Mrs. Pattison favored an early ad-
jOurnment
SOME OPPOSITION.
II had thought that the work of the
legislature could not influence the
condition of the governor" said Haf
ner, 'but it has come to me directly
that Mrs. Pattison believes that to be
the case. She believes that if the leg.
islature were to adjourn and her hus-
band were taken to his home the re-
lief from the worry of the session
would enable him to recover. l do not
wish to adjourn without completing
the work which we have started, but If
adjournment means the saving of the
governors life we shall adjourn"
