The city Is honeycombed with detec.

probably be necessary to summon a
second venire of one hundred and

The defense decided not TO press
the motion for change OF venue. At.

to await the exhaustion of the initial
venire of 1000 before making seri.
ous demand for change. He declared
the preliminary examination Of We

fDR'GRAND,lURY
CHARGED WITH RosslNei FRANK
& RAKEsKI OF s6o--:oFFENsE
COMMITTED ON BELT LINE.

Yesterday at 5 o'clock there was
before Justice Amos OF this city one
T. P. Robertson. charged with being
one of the two men who on Saturday
afternoon held up and robbed Frank
Rakeski on the railroad on last Satur.
day.
The man was brought before Justice
Amos yesterday morning. but as Rak.
eski did not know that the man had
been arrested, he did not appear
against him, but after being notified.
he appeared yesterday evening. and
identified Robertson rs one Of the
men who had robbed him..
The police so far have been unable
10 apprehend the other robber, but
they have sent ons description Of
the man. and he is very likely to be
captured. Robertson was arrested at
the B. ,& o. restaurant In the yards on
Saturday evening. but when captured
had no money on his person. SO 1t Is
therefore thought that the other mem.
ber of the party got. the money. and
made his getaway. Rakeski claims
that he was robbed OF $4,000. one OF
the men grabbing his arm, the other
choking him at the same time reach
ing into his pocket and extcartlng the
money.
Justice Amos remanded the man to
jail in default OF bond to await the
action OF the coming session OF the
grand jury.
Robertson yesterday claimed that
he was first cousin Of the president
OF the Western Maryland Railroad
Company, and wanted Justice Amoa
10 wire him and inquire about his
character. The han will very likely
ask him to go on his bond. II the re

The expensiveness of the campaign
the managers declared to be partly
due TO close fight between two fac
tions in the Republican party in Wis

NJ. LaFollette and the other by Sena'
tor Stephenson who as regular"
Republican was determined to win
over the candidates supported by the
"irregulars."

position when he sought re,nomina

ally to advertise. campaign literature
was read into the record stating that
Stephenson was n believer In tht
Roosevelt ideas and rs such was
bound to support Taft for President
The statement from Rodney Sack

BOYS ABANDON.
AUTOMOBILE
WHEN MACHINE is BROKEN
THEY OFFER IT FOR SALE AT
VERY SMALL PRICE.

Yesterday afternoon about two
o'clock an automobile was driven into
the town OF Fairview in charge OF
four young boys. OF about the ages OF
IS to 20 years, and after trying to get
some gasoline In that town, and fall.
ing to get 1t. they drove out OF the
town at very reckless speed. Soon
afterwards one OF the boys returned
to Fairview. and stated that they had
broken the machine down, asking
that someone go out to where the
machine was, and assist them in haul
ing It into Falrview SO that 1t could
be repaired, Arriving there, the boys
decided that they would not repair
the machine. and asked that some one
let them have the amount OF $4,000
on the machine. Falling to get this
amount they lowered ito s2O0.0O, and
then $4,000. stating that they need.
ed the money tc get home on.
No one in the town took advantage
OF the offer, however rs they were
rather "Leery". OF the deal, especially
after an In the city had offered to
let them have the $4,000 on the ma
chine II they would let him telephone
to Tifin, Ohio. to their parents; they
having stated that they were from
that place, the boys refusing to allow
him to telephone, offering some weak
excuse. ~
The boys later left the automobile
in Fairview and started Off toward
Fairmont,' not having been heard OF
up till press time this evening. 1t Is
thought that this Is n stolen automo.
bile, and that they have abondoned
the machine. making, their getaway
before their whereabouts are ascer
tanned. The boys said that the m:.
chine was French make OF car, but
when looked into, the, machine was
found to be a Stearns car. manufact
ured in the city OF Cleveland, Ohio.
Another suspicious thing about the
car Is that there are no licenses tags
of any kind attached TO the car
neither could the boys display any
chauffer's license.
The boys during their conversation
said that their father was n rich mar
from Tihln. Ohio, but that he was
now in the west, and that he had al
lowed them to take the machine, and
go south for the winter In It.
The machine is at B. Darrings In Fail
view where 1t can be viewed at any
time. Mr.. Daring would be glad o.
any Information furnished the owner

has been stolen.
