TIRES OF ARMY LIFE
Deserter From Service Cap
tured at Head of Youth
full Band.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-Scorning to be a
mere private in a standing army when
he could be the commander in chief of
a daring band of robbers, Arthur Doyle
deserted the service of the United
States for the more exciting war-like
occupation. For a month the opera
tions of his raiders have kept the west
side police on the move, but yesterday
he and his youthful followers were
hemmed in by detectives at West Madi-
son and Halsted streets.
| Doyle did not take his change of SER
| vice without considerable opposition
from the Unite States government. He
entered the service in the summer of
1906 and was sent to Columbus. o.
Soldier life soon displeased him and he
ran away. Recaptured in May. this
| year, he was sentenced to eighteen
months at hard labor and was con-
fined at Fort Sheridan.
Files Irons From Legs.
Again he tried to escape, but was re-
captured and put in irons. These didn't
hold him long. On Nov 4. he filed the
shackles from his legs, cut a hole in
the roof of the guardhOuse and with
a companion named Frank Kaba, es-
capped.
They disguised themselves with army
overcoats and took along a rife and
! five rounds of ammunition. They
walked to Chicago, then separated. and
| Doyle soon afterward organized his
outlaw band.
L would have remained and taken
my medicine" said Doyle. after his ar
rest. but they almost starved me to
death. They made me do hard work
and did not feed me enough to keep
up my strength. Now, I suppose 1 will
go back and get worse"
Robbers Are Mere Boys.
The gang arrested include Doyle, who
is % years old; Milton Gaines. aged 81;
James Ginty, aged IS; and Joseph Con
nell. aged 20. All are said to live IL a
rooming house at 433 West Madison
street.
The capture was by Detective Gala
CHAN. Monaghan, Shea. and O'Keefe OF
the Warren avenue station.
The prisoners admitted FIVE holdups
and two burglaries in the last few days
The most spectacular was the robbing
of a boarding house IN the afternoon
of Thursday at $40 Warren avenue
Ginty and Doyle enterer the house and
found Charles S. Burnap sitting al
desk reading.
Ginty slipped behind him and held
his arms while Doyle, for want of
rope. tore down some lace curtains anC
used them to tie his victim. They go

TO notify you before your departure

WILL STUDY DISASTERS
Geological Survey to Estab-
lish School in Pittsburg-
War on Fire Damp.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. Let is reported
that Pittsburg is to be made the home
of a most remarkable school of mines
to be instituted by the department of
the interior, through the United States
geological survey. The great number
of mine disasters happening within the
last few years has caused the techno-
logic branch of the survey to move in
the matter and action has been hasten
ed by the disasters in his message.
]. a. Holmes. chief of the techno-
logic branch. has stated that work will
be begun on an experimental action in
a few weeks. It is the purpose of the
survey to study explosions, which will
be made to order. There will be a long
steel tube 100 feet in length and s
feet in diameter about the size of an
ordinary mine entry. In this will be
mixed the different combinations of
gases found in a mine, and explosives
will be launched into this by a mortar
situated a a safe distance. Should the
explosives fail to ignite any of the
gases under any and all circumstances
they win be recommended to mine
this way the survey can cut to a min
imum danger to life.
Fire Damp Grave Problem.
The question of fire damp will be one
of the most serious. The experiment.
ers Will endeavor to discover how res
cuing parties may dash into the mine
after an explosion and rescue those now
left to die The English plan of over
coming fire damp and after" damp is
thought to be much better than any
yet advanced in America, but an effort
Will be made at the station completely
to overcome or to counteract fire damp
as soon as formed. Tests on the COM
bination of fire damp and air and OF
coal dust and air will be made sep
arately and the result carefully noted
until the question is solved.

Cottcr X Co.'S. Daily Cotton Letter.
 New York, Feb. 16.-The mar ket has been a dull, narrow and un- interesting affair and the volume of business so small as not to furnish much of any indication as to how sentiment lies with regard to it.
 Liquidation has ceased for the present and the March option has been relatively firm, but buyers still hold off although cotton is low enough to attract the class who buy and hold for a long pull because of the uncertainty over the outcome of the March position and the fear of further legislative interference with the legitimate business of the exchange.
 Liverpool closed higher today, but the advance there failed to elicit any response in our market, as while trade conditions are all that could be desired, the statisti- cal position of cotton suffered dur ing the week. The market today looks as if it might do better next week, but we would buy only weak spots.
