A GREEK FLAG.
Misguided Americans Tore Down
Greeks Emblem and Stole His
Goods.

Aurora, Ill, July S.-The trouble
which occurred here Saturday, when
two misguided patriots pulled down
Greek flag surrounded by American
embIems. is growing rather serious.
A representative of the Greek consul
general of Chicago is in town with in
structiOns to investigate the unpleas-
antness thoroughly and report the de-
tails of the affair to the consul. The
representative said the Greek, Deme-
trisuO, ought not to have been mOlested,
as he had his banner completely sur
rounded by American flags. This is
eminently proper under international
law, and is a custom observed with ma
tiOns at peace with each other.
Furthermore, the Greek was arrested
by the order of the mayor and taken
away without being given a chance to
protect his stock. The crowd stole
about S25 worth of his stock from his
place of business while he was gone.
The consul general says an apology
must be made and the flags be return
ed, besides compensation for the man
for the loss of his goods. Mayor Scott
will go to Chicago to arrange matters.

Position.

Explains the New Workers. Peculiar
Position.
Chicago, July S.-Speaking of Sena-
tor David B. Hills late candidacy for
temporary chairman of the convention
and the possibility of a bolt by the gold
men, David Overmyer last night said:
Those who think that Hill acted
rashIy in allowing his name to be used
in the face of certain defeat should re-
member that Hill had nothing to lose
in the operation and probably much to
gain in the defeat. I thing
Hill reasons that his being
put UP as candidate causes
him to be regarded as the chief man of
the eastern Democracy. He never
wanted to bolt, and he did not wish to
offend those who wished to bolt. BY
being made their candidate and being
defeated he secures their sympathy,
and by running for office before the
convention he can excuse himself to
them for not boiling. He thus retains
his nice balance between those who
stay in the convention and those who
go out. I think Hill will support the
ticket.
Some of the others may bolt. By a
bolt I mean they won't support the
ticket Let them bolt. We will gain
two men by a bolt where we will lose
one"

of his younger employees on the rack

It leaked out yesterday that one of

It seems the transfer lad would sell
conductors Is transfers for 25 cents,
and the conductors would turn them
into the office after having pOcketed a
nickel for each one. In this way a con-
ductOr could make IS cents out of each
% cent investment. Two or three con
ductors have had their pay stopped as
a result.
