Po lice, firemen and citizens have Joined in a search for the firebug 'who has set fire to 15 San Diego buildings. including three churches, In fess than nine months. A handsome residence belonging to BaukerFred. Jewell , was .djastroyed last night by flames, of incendiary origin. In addition to the starting of 15 fires, tho firebug has turned in so many false alarms that the de partment has ceased to keep record of them. Police Chief Wilson firmly believes the man is a fanatic who desires to do christians an injury. Owners of all those fired are well known church workers. The fact that three churches were also fired strengthens this theory. The man has been seen running from burning buildings, but not closely enough to furnish tho police with a description. In many cases vacant house have been fired, the firebug using kero sene and old rags to start tho blaze. Several suspects were taken to po lice headquarters today and closely questioned by the detectives. Cltl zona who own valuable houses stand in fear that they will be the noxt victim of the firebug and several churches of tho city aro closely guarded at night. Indianapolis, Ind., April 1.

Indianapolis, Ind., April 1. Three thousand miners of Southern Indiana returned to work today, owing to tho rapidity with which the operators and representative mine workers reached an agreement on hours and wages. The end of a strike of 17,000 min ers in that territory is in sight, and probably will be brought about to day.

Illinois miners and thoso of Texas, Okljjhdma and adjacent states would bo bacjk at work under Ironclad agreements within ten days. Ho said further that It waB almost certain that there would be no trouble ln reaching agreements and signing con tracts jn Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky, Central Pennsylvania and Iowa.

In Illinois 900 mines are closed and 75:000 miners have quit work. A conference between operators and miners', of Illinois has been called for next Monday, and is to be held in Chi cago. ,The Illnols operators say that the moh demand an increase of 10 cents a' ton, which means an annual Increase, of wage disbursements by the operators of $14,000,000. They declaro'that if they pay this sum It will necessitate o four-months' shut down of, the mines. Only, a two months' supply of coal is on h&nd, and tho operators predict a great,'coal famine, which will boost prices of coal to tho limit. In Indi ana 1810.00 miners were ordered to quit at Anidnight last, night. Already a sixth'jof the number have returned to worli' under new and satisfactory agreements. Tho miners of this state declare that tho strike will be short lived. In Pennsylvania approximately 4000 men were affected by the strike order. Tho operators have submit ted a temporary wage scale, allowing a five-cent increase on every mined ton of coal. In Iowa, every mine is closed pend ing the settlement of tho wage dis pute. Negotiations are in abeyance, but it is probable that the operators of Iowa mines will concede the samo terms as thoso granted by the opera tors in other states", and that the min ers will accept. In Ohio all miners were ordered to quit work, except at Loraine, One steel pldnt there, immediately upon the issilance of tho coal strike, or dered a, .shut-down. arnd threw out of work 4000 employes.
