DESPERADOES CAUGHT.
Baliff Pritchett and Assistants
Round Up Gang Who Robbed
In True Western Style.

Bailiff Charles G. Pritchett and
Policemen Daniel Brannock, T. Ed
ward Mcbride and Charles Shorter
early this morning surrounded
house on Benefits Lane and ar
rested the inmates, who are charg-
ed with having committed a series
of hold-ups in Cambridge and the
vicinity during the past few weeks.
The party consisted of four negro
men and two women, who were
known by the names of ''TeXas,
Ernest Hill, Richmond" Sam Co
ing, Mary Holiday and Frances Rob
inson. During the past few weeks
they have terroriZed the community
in many instances holding pistols
in the faces of their victims and
compelling them to hand over what
ever valuables they had with them.
A colored man named Bryan who
works for Mr.. S. L. Byrn,was held
up the other night and compelled to
hand over what money he had. One
week ago Sunday they went to
Thompson's Camp, near Thompson's
Station, and after shooting up the
camp, proceeded, it is stated, to rob
number of persons; later, the
same day, they came further up
the road and held what seemed to-
be a shooting match, shooting up
and down the road and soaring eV-
eryone who came along.
The information came to Chief
Pritchett that the desperadoes were
victimizipg a large number Of the
people around here, both white and
colored being held up, and he de-
termined to put a stop to it, but
was advised that they had started
they would never be taken alive.
After carefully working up the
case and locating the parties, Chief
Pritchett, with his policemen, early
this morning surrounded the house
and notified the criminals that they
were under arrest. Seeing that
they were surrounded, the men and
women surrendered
The parties are not from this
section and it is believed that they
are wanted in Norfolk, Va, for
shooting a man, and also in Della
ware; in fact, as far as can be
learned, they have left a string of
crimes around them wherever they
have been. They have depended
upon terrorizing the people with
whom they came into contact until
a place became too warm for them, pr
when they would skip out. AS far
as can be learned, the negroes of
the entire community are greatly
relieved to know that they have
been taken into custody, as there
was no sympathy with them at all.

BACON CRITICISED
FOR HIS APPARENT
FEAROF ROOSEVELT
Plan to Defer Baltimore
Convention Stirs Up Big
Discussion.

A storm of discussion In Democratic
and Republican circles has been stirred
up by the proposal of Senator Bacon
that the Democratic National Conven-
ton be postponed. as was reported ex-
clusively In The Times yesterday.
Not little criticism of Senator Bacon
is heard among Democrats for making
an admission In public that the Demo-
Gratis are fearful of the nomination of
Roosevelt. Some of the Democrats
think this is calculated to do Roose-
velt more good than anything that has
thus far happened.
T. The indications are there will be no
postponement. National Chairman Nor
man L. Mack has come out against the
plan. His influence will be large in
preventing a meeting of the National
Committee.
On the other hand, Thomas Taggart,
national committeeman from Indiana,
is favorable to postponement.
Urey Woodson, secretary of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, has given
out an interview at Owensboro, Ken
lucky, in which he not only favors post
ponement, but declares the convention
ought to be taken away from Baltimore.
Senator Martin of Virginia, opposes
doing anything that smacks of fear of
Roosevelt. Speaker Clark regards II as
immaterial Ollie James, Senator-elect
from Kentucky, favors postponement,
but not through fear of Roosevelt.
Senator Kern of Indiana, thinks post
ponement would be a mistake
Some of the friends of woodrow Will
son see in the movement to postpone,
an effort to injure his candidacy.
The conflict of opinion is such that
no action to postpone now appears
probable.
