CHICAGO. Pspt. 51.—Belief that the crest
of the big movement of wheat in both the
American and Canadian northwest has paas-

vlalons the outcome was irregular, strung

Despite the fact that wheat arrlvala at
Winnipeg. .Minneapolis and Duluth since
Saturday aggregated about 5.000.000 bushels,
the greatest run on record for an equal i»e-
rlod. all mnrkote seemed to find plentiful
orders at very moderate reactions. Some of

the outset. This influence, however, was
more than offset Inter by news that there

NEW TOJIK. Sept 21.—Active movements
of stocks today were confined to the first
hour when prices declined abruptly. Open-
ing trading was slow with a slight drift
downward except in the cases of Reading
and Union Pacific, both of which advanced
fractionally. Union Pacific at 1.62% reach-
ed a new high mark for the present move-
ment which waa within % a point of the
year's beat figures. On heavy offerings of
the favorlts atoeks the market waa roused
quickly from ita Inertia, but later again fell
rapidly. Union Pacific dropped ba9k more
than two points from ita high figure. Ca-
( nadian Pacific dropped nearly three; other
repreaentative Issues lost one to twe.
Despite the feeble resistaace offered the
j market was not long under severe pleasure.
Selling diminished but the only effect was
to impart a steadier tone. The market
showed no recuperative power and during
the remainder of the day was dull and
flat with prices ruling not far from the
lowest.
Steel was watched more closely than any
other stock as a guide to market condi-
tions and ita heavineaa exerted a depress-
ing Influence.
Much of the day's selling of steel was be-
lieved to he on orders from Boston.
Missouri Pacific moved against the mar-
ket. Buying of this stock was prompted by
the excellent showing in the road's annual
report which revealed a surplus of 61.562.-
000 for the year, ns compared with a deficit
effect over 12.000.000 in the preceding pe-
riod. Bonds were easy with Increased ac-
tivity 1n some speculative issues. Total
sales psr value. 61.625.000. United States

The captives were speedily arraign-
ed before United States Commission-
er Rogers, and each was held in de-
fault of *10,000 bail.
The inspectors, elated over their
night's work, called on the police to
Institute raids on the other resorts
that had been watched. Detective
Bradley led the Invading party on one
of the Caroline-street cribs, and while
only a few shots were fired, night-
sticks and blackjacks were freely
swung, and It was a badly battered
band of burglars that was haled to
the city prison at the conclusion of
the hearings before the commission-
er.

were seized. All of this group were
taken to I>a Plata. Md.. where three
were positively ldentlHed as partici-
pants In the robbery of the village
bank. It was an easy matter to con-
nect the others, together with some
of those taken in the earlier raid, with
the Mt. Airy bank burglary, and, this
done, they joined their companions In
the Baltimore city jail for safe keep-
ing. Detective Bradley meanwhile
had arrested Robert Caseidy, alias
"Big Casey," alias "Wilmington Red,"
after a I-»o<vc-down and drag-out
fight.
But one more of the yeggmen's re-
treats remained to be raided. The
detectives on guard had conveyed in-
formation to the postofflce inspectors
which led them to believe that the
very men working under the direction
of "Ned" and "Connecticut Shorty"
were in this "dive." and furthermore
they had reason to believe that the
principals themselves were not far
away. The round-up must be made
at any cost, for by striking while the
Iron waa hot a dozen desperate roughs
and thieves had been seised and those
still loitering about the yegg-infested
city were needed to make the chain
of evidence, all but forged, complete.
It was nearly midnight when two
police patrols drew up within a block
of the saloon in Caroline street which
harbored this band of thieves. At the

police stood with pistols draws and
under orders to fire on the first man
who made a break for the suirojnd-
ing fence.
After the first volley of shots fired
in the saloon men scurried through
the side and read doors to the yard
like rat from a scuttled ship. The
pistols of the police stationed In over-
hanging windows barked out their
greeting, and when this was accom-
panied by the sharp and decisive com-
mand to "Stop and throw up your
hands!" a dosen men, paralysed with
frlglit, their arms uplifted high above
their heads, halted in their tracks and
stood waiting for the dreaded
"pinch." And it wasn't long deferred.
Policeoun and detectives came scur-
rying Into, the yard, and while their
retreat from the saloon was severed

with drawn pistols those in th; yard
shackled their prisoners and hurried
them away to cells, although some of
them were removed it a hospital,
where they remained ui 41 their bullet
wounds had healed. When noses were
counted and pedigrees taken the po-
lice docket was augmented by theee
names: James Sheffield, John Wil-
son. . Edward Parker, Thomas
Brooks, Roy Tinney, William Milan,
William Stultx. James Walsh, Eugene
W. Martin alias "Kansas City Red,"
the latter proprietor of the saloon
just raided; William Rov and Thom-
as Hart, alias "Milwaukee Paddy."
A few days following the third sa-
loon raid the police located "Ned" at
No. 2002 Rldgewood avenue, and his
capture furnished a fitting climax to
the strenuous two weeks the inspec-
tors anC detectives had spent In de-
pleting the ranks of yeggs at large
In and about Baltimore. The police
learned that a man who they knew
was an associate of some of the men
just arrested had. with his supposed
wife, moved frofh No. 412 North Rose
street to No. Walbrook avenue.
This man they had reason to believe
was Morgan ("Portland Ned"). He
was shadowed and trailed from his
new found residence to the Ridge-
wood avenu$ house, which he was
seen to enter shortly before 4 o'clock
In the morning. Detective Bradley
had done the shadowing, and, having
been told of the desperate type of
criminal he had to deal with, he noti-
fied the nearest pqlice station and In
a short time was joined by Detective
Burns, Sergeants Zehner and Carey
and Policeman Joynes. Captain of
Detectives Pumphrey also waa noti-
fied and he. too, put In an appear-
ance. Burns rang the door bell and
a woman responded. 8he denied that
a man had entered the house. This
woman, a Mrs. Adams, then slammed
the door In the detective's face. The
door was forced, and as Darn* and
Nergeant Zehner mad* their way to
the dining room they saw a woman
lying on a rfofa. On her arm rested
an infant. Mrs. Adams's baby, and
both were covered to their chins by m
heavy btanket.
The woman on the sofa was none
other than Maud, wife of "Portland
Ned." the woman for whom he had
more than once attempted murder
while seeking to slsy men of his Ilk
upon whom be thought she smiled too
sweetly. Commanded to rise, th« wo-
man declined and defied the potire to
touch her. As Sergeant Zehner seiz-
ed the blanket to which the" woman
clung desperately. Detective Burn*

At the .tame Instant he spiet' the blue
steel muzzle of a .44 revolver peeping
from beneath the sofa covering Maud
and the baby were unceremoniously
tumbled from the sofa, snd there,
stretched at full length, wit I. s pistol
In each hand, lay "Portland Ned."
The policemen 3?ised the pistols
and in a jiffy "Ned" was shackled and
taken to pol!c« headquarters, where
he was held pending the arrival of
the postofflce Inspectors who hart so
relentlessly trailed him through sev-
en states Upward of )200 was found
In the yeggan's pockets, and then
were other Indications tp show that
he had been enjoying flush time to
the full. Two days later the police
founl burled in the cellar of the
house Mrs. Adams had furn'ihed for
her B y "Joe" Adams, at No. 2009
Clifton street, two flashlights, a met-
al bo* of pistol cartridges and a piece
of fuse similar to that employed by
yeggmcn in blowing saf" .
All in all.. It was a remarkable
round-up and the Inspectors who in-
spired and engineered It owe no end
of thanks to the police, who made the
actual captures In these cases by
striking when the Iron was hot.
