Moran's career as a thief has probably Like all professionals, he admitted to entering rooms of the Read house, the Ford hotel and the Grand hotel and robbing the occupants of their all of which was fonnd in his possession when arrested. The old fellow is but a few winters less than 70 years old, and if he lives his time out in prison he will be too old to ply his nefarious trade. Tuesday morning Moran came to the city from Cin annati, at which place he has been in hiding since the "touches" in Louisville, two weeks ago during the derby.

The watch was identified Davia, and Moran, when confronted by the detectives, admitted that he had stolen the watch, saying that the timepiece was the first that he had stolen in many years, and would not have taken it had not his own been broken. Moran is said to be the smoothest crook in the world, and is regarded as wonder by all detectives who have had occasion to deal with him. He bas served "time" on many occasions, claiming to have been released from prison in Massachusetts two months ago. He has been "mugged" equally as many times. His photograph is in the local rogue's gallery.
It was taken in Detective Smith and Wells him for attempting to rob a guest at the Stanton hotel. At night is when Moran gets in his work. He invades all hotels and is recognized only as a guest, as he has the appearance of a gentleman and not a crook. Several years ago he entered the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and carried away diamonds belonging to Mrs. Vanderbilt worth $65,000.
The stones were returned secretly to the owner by Moran, on the promise that the thief would not be prosecuted. He was immediately recognized by Capt. Smith when officers trought him in to be registered. He registered under the name of Cole, but when Capt. Smith corrected him, he admitted that Cole was an alias.
Peggy Hummell, ex-Pinkerton man, is equally as brilliant a manhunter as Moran is a hotel thief. Hummell arrested Moran fifteen years ago in Salt Lake City, Utah. His wide and long experience as a detective has acquainted him with all the notorious crooks now operating. During the winter months he works among the throngs at Palm Beach and during the summer be is stationed at Atlantic City. He is regarded as one of the most efficient plain clothes men in the country.
Moran is a native of Ohio, having been born in Cincinnati. His career as a crook is said to have extended over a period of forty years. Chief Hill desires that all persons who lost money on the night of May 27 in the Read house, the Ford and the Grand hotels to meet him at his office this morning at 8 o'clock. 'SOUTHERN PACIFIC MUST GIVE UP CENTRAL Attorney-General Makes That Cor- rection in Merger Dissolution. WASHINGTON, May McReynolds has decided to contend that the Southern Pacific must give up the Central Pacific in the pending dissolution of the Union Pacinc inerger and will bring a suit under the Sherman law to accomplish that end if the dissolution plans fail to include it.
Disposition of the Ceutral P'acitic is understood to be the cause of the hitch in the efforts of the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacitic to reach an agreement. as The plan which the Union Pacific will shortly present to the attorney -general contemplates, it is believed here, ouly the disposition of the $120,000,000 of the Soutbern Pacitic stock held by the Union Pacific and will leave the question of the status of the Central Pacific to separate litigation to be begun by the government. 'The supreme court ordered the sale of Union Pacific holdings of Southern Pacific stock and left open to negotiation or future litigation the disposition of the Central Pacific. The position of Mr. McReynolds regarding the Central coincides with that of former Attorney Wickersham, who threatened an antitrust suit unless the Southern Pacific disposed of its subsidiary.
