HOW 4 R0BBER
ROBBED ROBBERS
He Was Afterwards Robbed
Twice Himself.
DIVISION OF $4,000 LOOT
Matteo Arbano BIuffsd the Taxlcab
Bandits Into Giving Him $4,000.
in Turn Was Forced To Di-
vide With Companions.

New York.-A robber who robbed
the robbers who stole $4,000 from two
bank messengers in the financial dis
trict two weeks ago was afterward
robbed twice himself. Such was the
chapter added to the taxicab hold-up
story by the confession of Matteo
Arbano.
Arbano is anything but robber in
appearances. He is only five feet tall,
weighes 100 pounds and wears spec.
tacIes. He gave himself up and told
the police how he walked into a saloon
where the five taxicab bandits were
dividing the $4,000 loot and by pure
blur" was given $4,000. AS heN left
the saloon he was in turn held up by
two companions and had to divide
with them. With $1,000 left, he fed to
Havana, Cuba. In Havana he became
acquainted with woman, and after a
night Of drinking, he said, found him
self short $500, which. he alleged.
the woman had stolen.
The police so far have recovered
only $4,000 of the original loot, and on
this account heavy bail was required
of all the men held in the case. The
sum OF $4,000 was required in the
case of Montani, the taxicab CT auffeur,
and prohibftiye amounts asked for the
others held
Swedish Annie, the girl whose new
hat, purchased for her by one of the
robbers, led to the first clue to their
identity. and two other women held
as witnesses were discharged.
Eugene Splaine, one of the prison
ers arrested in Tennessee in the taxi
cab robbery here, has made COM
plete confession, and in addition to
telling of his part in the holdup, con-
fessed to three other holdups in the
city.

COAL OPERATORS
GET ULT|MATUM
British Government to Compel
a Settlement.
STRIKE MUST NOT CONTINUE
r.,... ..,a.. ...:,x. r,..,.... -
STRIKE MUST NOT CONTINUE
Prime Minister Asquith Declares Il
Shall Become a Part OF the
Organization and Working
OF the Coal industry.

London.-The settlement Of the
threatened coal strike Is yet afar of.
The Government has not been able to
induce all the coal owners to agree to
the demand for minimum wage made
by the miners, but Premier AsQuith
declares that if the principle OF a
minimum wage is not secured by
agreement 1t would be secured by
other means.
Fully 100000 miners have already
laid down their tools and will not pick
them up again until an agreement
satisfactory to the Miners Federation
is reached.
The men have the Government be-
hind them and feel that victory has
been won.
Chancellor Lloyd George is drafting
minimum wage bill, but 1t is stated
that the Government is hopeful of be-
ing able to secure the establishment OF
a minimum wage without recourse to
legislation, now that the mine owners
see that they are powerless to. resist
longer.
Railways curtall.
Some of the railways have sent out
notifications of curtailment Of their
services, owing to the strike.
THE Government having recognized
the principle of a minimum wage for
all underground workers, if it is not
secured by agreement, it will be secur-
ed by the Government by other
means"
This extract from the speech made
by the Prime Minister to members of
the National Miners Federation, as re-
ported in the official statement con-
corning the conference, indicates the
lengths to which the Government is
prepared to go to settle the strike. It
is virtually an ultimatum to the coal
owners.
Emphasizing that point again, Mr.. As
quith said that the Government is de-
termined 'that the minimum wage
shall become part and parcel Of the
organization and working of the coal
industry by whatever appropriate
means the Government can command. +"

POWER OF THE S7E:L TRUST
Expert Accountant, After Exanaina,
ton OF Corporations Books,
Says It ls In Restraint
OF Trade.

Washington. The House Steel
Trust Investigation Committee, made
public the result of the inquiry into
the books and minutes of the United
States Steel Corporation, conducted by
Farquhar ]. McRae,. an expert &C
countant.
The McRae report reaches the con.
clusion that the Steel Corporation
operates in restraint Of trade and pre-
vents competition through manipula.
ton of prices, through the influence
of the so-called Gary dinners" by
control Of raw materials and through
system of inter-locking directors in
various com panies. 1t also tends to
contradict some of the testimony given
by Steel Trust officials.
Some of the figures dealt with In
the report are startling. 1t is shown
that j. P. Morgan & Co. received ap-
proximately $70,000,000 in cash profits
for organizing the big steel combine,
and that the net profits of the CON
Ecern for the first nine years of it's
existence were more than billion
dollars.
v Steel Corporation officials objected
to producing their books before the
committee in this city but consented
to place them freely at the disposal OF
an expert to be named by the COM
m1ttee. Mr.. McRae made thorough
study of the books and minutes, and
in his report to the committee he
pointed out these salient features:
Morsan's Promoting Fee.
That J. P. Morgan & Co., heading
the syndicate which organized the
Steel Corporation, received a. cash
profit of $69, 300, 900, Of which $62,-
100000 was for promotion, with an ad.
ditional commission Of $6,800,000 for
bond conversion scheme.
That the net earnings Of the cor
poration for a period of nine years
were $1,029, 685, 1888, or an equivalent
of approximately $13 a ton on finished
product instead of $980,000,311 as
claimed by the corporation in its re-
port.
That the Steel Corporation, contrary
| to the statement made by Judge Gary
and H. C. Prick to President Roose-
welt in 1907 that it did not control
more than so per cent. of steel prop
critics in the country, controls about 80
per cent. of the steel holdings.
The sections of the report dealing
with the Gary dinners" were in
dependent as well as corporation steel
men assembled to discuss conditions
| in the trade, contains an analysis OF
the legal effect of the golden rule
policy prepared by Anthony ]. Ernest
a New York lawyer, in which it is de.
clared that the conventions agreed to
and enforced would be Objectionable
as regards their effect upon competi-

Picking Many natives have been
killed or wounded IN I mutiny Of
Yuan Shi Kais unpaid soldiers. but 30
far as known all foreigners are safe.
The legation quarter is crowded, but
the missionaries are holding forth in
their own compounds.
When the outbreak occurred it was
estimated that 1000 soldiers took part,
but since then the mutineers have
been augmented by large numbers Of
the police, coolies and loafers. The
legations know no reasons for the out
break. The idea is expressed that
Yuan Shi Kais soldiers began the
trouble when they learned that he in
tended to leave the capital for Nam
king. The soldiers are everywhere
looting from house to house. They
have not spared even foreign resi-
dences within one block of the lega-
ton quarter.
Fires were started in various sec
tions and territory of more than mile
In area of the Tartar city has been
burned. The flames stretch from the
Forbidden City to the building Of the
Chinese Foreign Board, where Yuan
Shi Kai resides, the flames reaching
within half mile Of the legations. The
quarters occupied BY the Marking
delegates who came here to notify

dent have been enveloped In names.
Shell Falls Into Legation.
Much reckless shooting has occurred
and one shell, which fell into the com,
pound of the American Legation, tore
through the tent of one Of the soldiers
of the recently arrived reinforcements,
but did not explode.
Among the refugees q: the American
Legation are Willard D. Straight, ex.
