New York Especially. - With the
lining up at police headquarters OF
Frederick Cunningham and Frank
Chester, the two men caught while
trying to get away with trunks con-
tanning $4,000 in stamps stolen
from the postoffice at Richmond,
Va, the detective force stated its
belief that 1t had made one of the
most important captures in years.
one OF the men arrested for the
Richmond burglary, the police be-
lieve, is Eddie Fay, a much-wanted
fugitive, whose picture is in every
rogues' gallery of importance in the
country and for whose apprehension
total of about $4,000 in rewards
have been offered in various cities.
This prisoner is the one known as
Cunningham. He was recognized by
Detective Peabody and other old
timers, who said that as Eddie Fay
he was known as one of the best
all-around safe blowers in the coun-
try.
According to the detective bu-
reau, Fay is wanted in Los Angeles,
Cal, for blowing the safe of the
postoflice in 1905 and getting away
with $10,73S worth of stamps and
$4,000 in gold. There is $1,000
reward for his capture for this job.
Five years ago, in Peoria, ILL.,, he
blew the safe of the postoffice and
got away with $4,000 worth OF
stamps. A year later he again blew
the same safe and this time made
off with $4,000 worth of stamps.
He was convicted and sent to jail
in Springfield, ILL.,, in August, 1897,
but broke out a short time later. He
also broke jail in Janesville, Wis,
where he had been sent for safe
blowing. The detectives say there
is record of four murders against
him.
Fay, the detectives say, is worth
from 100000 to 100000 and
owns a string of race horses. The
police say they do not know much
about the man caught with Fay.
Fight Like Wildcats.
Both men, while in the custody
of the police, fought like wildcats
at police headquarters, in the pa
troll wagon going down to the Tombs
Court, and again on their way to the
eueTdl bullulnR. w men ray was
brought face to face with the cam
era in the Identification bureau head
quarters, he made a fight against
having his picture taken. For two
hours he rolled on the floor, twisted
his face out of shape, and, despite
all efforts, made the taking of his
picture impossible.
Extraordinary precautions to pre-
vent their escape were taken at the
arraignment before federal commits
sioner.
The police believe that the fight
ing in the patrol wagon and in en-
tering and leaving it were to make
possible a concerted rush of confed-
crates in the street to rescue. A
great mob followed the wagon
through the streets as the burglars
shrieked and kicked at the 10 de-
tecuves who were holding them in.
Served Time In Belgium.
Neither man had counsel in court
and an adjournment of the hearing
was asked by the government and
granted. Bail was fixed at $4,000
falling which both men were again
locked up.

The miners, members of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America, de-
clared the walkout was not a strike,
but merely a suspension of work
pending an arrangement between
themselves and the operators of a
wage scale for another year, the old
scale having expired with the month
of March. The men demand an in
crease of pay in some instances of
8 cents ton and in other instances
more and certain changes in work
ing conditions.
Confidence was expressed by the
operators that there will be no gem
eral coal famine, large supplies of
fuel having been secured in antici-
patton of the walkout.
While the miners predicted the
suspension would be cut short by a
prompt signing of wage scales, some
of the operators maintained the
mines might be kept closed for a
month or so days or longer.
The conditions in the various
states were as follows:
Illinois-Nine hundred mines clos
ed and $4,000 miners quit work at
5 p. NJ; joint conference on wages
called for this week in Chicago; op-
orators say men demand increase of
10 cents a ton, which would mean
an annual increase in expenses in IL
linois of 100000 possibility of
four-months' shutdown; two
months supply of coal on hand; no
immediate coal famine to Chicago in
dustries.
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Arkansas, comprising the South
western interstate fields - Twenty
five thousand miners quit. Early
settlement hoped for, but miners as
sert they have fund of 100000 to
draw on.
Ohio-All miners ordered to quit
State leader declaring it is not a
strike, but merely suspension. At
Lorain, Ohio, one steel plant shut
down and threw out 1000 workmen,
the managers announcing a short
age of coal.
The first victory of the men came
In an announcement from Brazil,
Ind, the center of the Indiana block
coal district, where it was announc-
ed the mems demands for a five-
cent increase would be granted.
Reviewing the situation President
Lewis said
when the national executive
board adjourned we all felt that the
prospect was very satisfactory for
the miners. In many districts 1t is
now only a question of the miners
and operators sitting down together
and talking over business.
"In Eastern Ohio 1t rs reported to
us that three of the largest COM
panies are ready to sign the contract
We formulated at our recent meeting
in Cincinnati.
"In Indiana and the Hooking dis
trict OF Ohio We will reach a set
tlement during the week."

indianapolis, Ind. Especially. -
Three hundred thousand miners in
the bituminous coal fields of the
United States suspended work and
demanded higher wages. according
to the official statement given out at
the headquarters in this city of the
United Mine Workers of America.
Coincidentally, the national officers
of the organization, who had been
in secret session here for two days,
departed for their respective states
to advise the miners in the district
conferences with the mine operators.
President Thomas j. Lewis made the
following estimate of the number of
