A Masquerader Is Arrested.

Columbus, o., Dec. "a young
man giving his name as Charles
Abrams and his home as Boston,
Mass, was taken into custody at the
United States recruiting station here
Monday and turned over to the local
police pending an investigation of
charges of impersonating an officer.
Abrams appeared at the post clad in
uniform and asked to be shown
around. He first represented himself
to be cavalry officer and later said
he belonged to the infantry. The
suspicious of the officers were arous-
ed and on being questioned he admit
ted he was not an army officer, but
that he had donned uniform be-
cause he wanted to secure material
for a magazine story and he thought
1t would obtain for him special con-
sideration.

No Hope for Entombed Miners.

Pittsburg, Pa. = The fate of five
American and AZ foreign miners,
while not definitely known, was
pretty well established late Monday
by the finding of the body of a mine
pumper near the twenty-second entry
of the Naomi mine of the United Coal
Co. at Fayette City, 35 miles from
this city. The man had died from
suffocation. Judging from the two
fatalities thus far known, both having
been caused by poisonous gas fumes,
1t is almost certain that the AZ miners
still entombed in the mine have
succumbed to the deadly afterdamp.
Up to midnight 13 bodies had been re-
covered.
