The pair ran when they saw police and Deputy Naunuinn approaching them in Red Row.

The three officers took up the chase, called for (lie two to halt and whnn they failed to do so opened fire, one officer at a. time. The chase led eastward. Hines and Brown running and ducking under fire. Finally one- was (urn- od and headed and then another.

Ono of the accused had thrown a package to l.he ground in his It contained two pairs of men's dress trousers; thrae ladies' long silk gloves of expensive make, and if.hreo ladies' sllpons of delicate texture. The negroes claimed they were innocent. Officers, of the Car- hoiKlale store appeared later in day. and Identified (lie goods and the two prisoners.

CHIEF CATCHES LEWIS BY CAR John H. Uhl Hands Miners' Leader A Recapitulation of Terms By Operators On Which They Would Reopen Negotiations.

By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, August 27 -The midnight appeal of WHkes- barre citizens, made to the miners here that the latter resume scale negotiations with the operators, will have no influence on plans the miners have under way for a suspension in the anthracite coal' fields September 1st, according to authoritative comment today. The actual call for suspension is expected to be made by the scale committees as soon as arrangements are made with the operators to keep the maintenance- men in the mine. PHILADELPHIA, August 27 (Byy A. H. Uhl, "no strike" champion of Wiilkesbarre, overtook John-L, Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers here early this morning, after a one hundred and twenty-five mile pursuit by automobile, and aroused fresh hopes that a suspension of anthracite miners might be averted.

As-chairman of a citizens' "no strike" 'committee of theirteen, Mr. Uhl delivered to Mr. Lewis a recapitulation which anthracite operators made in Wilkesbarre yesterday of the terms on which they would, reopen the wage negotiations broken off by the miners in Atlantic'City in April last. Mr. Uhl obtained from the miners leaders a restatement of the terms.

It. reiterated the stand that Mr. Lewis had taken at Hazelton on Tuesday, but not the new tone of the aperators commjttement, and noticably encouraged.Mr. Uhle. He appeared to deem it significant? that Mr.

Lewis would continue to entertain peace-making on the day the miners had been expected to call a suspension in the hard poal fields for September first. Mr. Uhl and A. B. Mertman, a Scranton, banker who had accompanied him, returned at once to Wilkesbarre and approached the operators on the one passibility that Lewis' reply might contain.

When he was found the dentist's' i'raid body was still warm. Young was resting partly on his left side, bis arms extending down the left side of the body. On, the face was an expression of frank despair Dr. Young had never expressed 1 any fear regarding the outcome of. his trial.

"I'm satisfied the' way things are going" was his usua.1 answer to questions. "Dr. Young told me he felt a choking sensation and that lie was suffering from acute indigestion, last night," a trusty iu the jail said this morning. Reported His Death Young reported the ance of bis wife, who was the widow of Patrick Grogan, olive king, in February was Young's third wife.
