NEGRO PORTER ROBS
BARBER SHOP OF S.
Sanitary Shop Entered Early
Yesterday Morning by
John Woods.

When Jack" Shoemaker, proprietor
of the Sanitary barber shop, entered
his place of business at ten minutes
after six o'clock Sunday morning, he
found the cash register had been for
chilly opened and about five dollars in
small change was missing.
Inquiry revealed that his colored
porter, John Woods, of indianapolis,
elevator boy at the Westcott until last
Thursday, had been seen to enter the
barber shop about twenty minutes be-
fore Shoemaker came.
At the Pennsylvania station, where
Shoemaker Immediately went, he
learned Woods had been seen there
talking to a woman about ten minutes
of six o'clock 1t is thought that Woods
may have taken the six o'clock train
for Cincinnati and the police of that
city have been notified to be on the
lookout for him.
Other Articles Stolen.
Shoemaker reported his loss to po-
lice headquarters this morning. Be-
sides the money, a shirt and some col
lars were taken. Strange to state, none
of the razors, of which there were
many lying around in plain sight, were
taken.
Woods is described as of medium
height, a cast in one eye, with an i'm
pediment in his speech. Chief of Police
Gormon believes Woods peculiarities
of appearance and speech will mark
him for early apprehension.

CAUSES SENSATION.
(National News Associa.ion)

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 30
The amazing exposure of the secret
lobby operations of the National as
sociation of Manufacturers by Col.
Martin M. Mulhall, one of the chief
agents of the association, had the eff
feet of a political earthquake in
Washington.
The prominence of the public men
named in the Mulhall revelations,
showing the octopus-like tentacles OF
the association touched a president OF
the United States and the leaders OF
the senate and house of representa-.
tives, as well as members Of both
chambers of congress, has capped the
sensations which the lobby investiga.
tion by the senate up to date has
brought forth.
Sweeping Inquiry Demanded.
Regarded as striking at the roots
Of the representative system of the
government under which the Ameri
can people are administered, every
man in public in Washington realizes
the imperative necessity of a thorough
and sweeping investigation.
Not only must the guilty be dis
graced and if possible punished, but il
is considered of the utmost import

WASHINGTON, June 30.-In addi-

Senator Overman said the commit

'The lobby investigation has gone
far beyond it's original scope and I do
other than to go into every phase of

man.
Found New Form of Lobbying
"1t is my personal opinion" contin-
ued the senator, that the committee
should ask the senate for full author
ity to go into any angle of legislative
lobbying in any previous congress. We
have found there is a new kind of in
sidious lobbying. Testimony has been
given to show that great interests
have been getting together behind
certain men to get them on commit
tees where their opinions would con-
troll legislation, though there might be
no actual corruption of the inaiyidu-

out the fact that there has been lob

Mr. Mulhall has been summonsed to
appear July s, but Senator Overman
said the committee would probably
finish the sugar lobby and take up the
wool lobby before taking up the charg-
es made in the Mulhall article.

near the camp and then walked
through the fields to hedge within a

nor suspect that they were being
watched. At 1 o'clock, Sheriff Bayer

OFFICIALS ARE ON
TRAIL OF A DARING
GAhGfAR ROBBERS
1t Is Hoped to Check the
Wholesale Looting on the
G. R. & | Railway.
TWO ARE IN CUSTODY
Fl. Wayne Fence" of the
Looters Is Now Being
Sought BY Authorities.

With the arrest of Samuel Miller
and Theodore Craig, former employees
of the G. r. and |. railroad, local au-
thorities believe they have two of the
most active members of a gang of car
robbers in the employ of the railroad
company. 1t was reported today that
other important arrests were expected
in Ft. Wayne and at other points on
the line between that city and Rich
mond.
Miller was released on $500 bond
Saturday, it having been reduced from
81 900, and it is understood he has left
the city. Craig is still in the county
Jail, not having been able to raise the
$500 required to liberate him.
Fears Federal Charge.
A friend of Craig's who visited him
in the Jail Saturday stated today that
the young man is fearful that he will
be turned over to the federal authori-
ties for trial on a charge of violation
of the interstate commerce law, con-
viction on which, it is understood, car
ries penalty of ten years imprison-
ment and heavy fine.
Through the operations of car rob-
berries, it Is stated, the G. r. and |.
railroad has in the past several months
lost thousands of dollars. The gang,
railroad men state, was well organized
and had fences" at Ridgeville and Ft.
Wayne, where their plunder was dis
posed Of The Ridgeville fence" 1t is
stated, has been located by the rail
road detectives but so far they have
been unable to locate the man who re-
ceived the stolen goods at FIT. Wayne.
When Craig and Miller were arrested
at Ft. Wayne an effort was made to
secure the important information from
them but without success.
One Daring Robbery.
Not very long ago. it has been re-
ported to the authorities, freight
train running north was stopped near
Ft. Wayne on the pretext that one of
the cars had hot box. A car was then
opened without the knowledge of the
members of the crew who were not
affiliated with the gang, and a motor
cycle and player piano were removed.
After the train departed the FIT. Wayne
fence" brought the loot into the city
in van. Miller and Craig were arrest
ed for looting cars of cigars and other
articles at points in Wayne county, so
they were brought here from FIT.
Wayne for trial
Miller got wind of the fact that de-
tectives were working up case
against him and fled. His capture was
effected through Craig, it is under
stood by a clever ruse. Craig, it is
stated had been under cover, but when
his wife was irSfcrmed he was wanted
only as a witpss he shortly returned
home. He was placed at work under
surveillance, expecting that Miller
would communicate with him, which
Miller did. Learning by this means
that Miller was at town in Michi-
gan a warrant was sent there for his
arrest and he was promptly taken into
custody. Charges were then filed
against Craig.
