The U. S. Banking Co., formed
by American bankers, has opened
for business in the City Of Mexi-
CO, tempted by the large profits
made by the American Bank in
the same city. There is food fer
thought in this news item. In
the United States the bankers
say prosperity is entirely due to
the gold standard, yet they invest
their money in Mexico, which is
on silver basis, because of the
great prosperity of that country.
Anti-trusts societies or associ-
ations should be formed in every

If associations of this kind could

proper legislation the days OF
trusts would be numbered.

A|SDEMEANOR Case
IN WHICH A NUMBER OF SOUTH
SIDE PARTIES ARE lNPLI-
GATED.
YOUTH TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
While Tearing Down Property of
the Schmulbach Brewing Comp
any, States That Boys Were Hired
to Do So BY Two junk Dealers.
Authorities Are Making an In
vestigation-Lot of Lumber Car
ried Away. 49,

A rather uncommon and complicated
case has come to light in the arrest
Thursday morning of Vinase Alberts, a
South Side lad about fourteen years
lad was taken into custody while bus
lily engaged, so it is said, tearing
at Alley B and Twenty street,
owned by the Sehmulbach Brewing
Company. He was taken before JUS
tice J. R. Larue and committed to Jail.
When questioned the Alberts lad i'm
plicated a number of other parties in
the case, stating that two men, repre-
senting themselves as junk dealers.
and claiming to own the property, had
hired him and a number of his com
panions to tear it down, so that the
material might be sold.
He further stated that he did not
know the two men and refused to give
the names Of the boys. The house has
been unoccupied for some time and
the company has been noticing lately
that it was gradually being Invested
Of weather boarding and shingles, and
otherwise defaced by unknown par
ties, who evidently intended to tear it
down. 1t is said that three wagon
loads Of lumber have been carried
away from the premises and disposed
Of in some manner, and that it will re-
quire considerable sum of money to
repair the building.
The youth, who was arrested by
Richard Baker, a special officer for
the brewery company, was released on
Lend yesterday morning for a hearing
just as soon as the other parties have
been captured. While the authorities
have very little clue, they will con-
t:nue to work theoretically on the case
and are hopeful of rounding up a gang
OF thieves who are responsible for
ether thefts, perpefrated on the South
Side il. the last year or so. 1t is
thought that the two junk dealers may
be the same men who recently stole a
lot of brass fixtures from the Wheel
ing Electrical Company's plant on the
South Side.

STRUCK BY A TRUCK.
A South Side Man Injured While at
Work Yesterday Morning.

julius Custer, of Forty second street,
was very painfully injured by an acct
dent, while he was engaged in his work
at Bloch Bros tobacco factory yester-
day morning, shortly past nine o'clock
He was standing on an elevator, which
was descending from one of the upper
stories to the ground floor, and another
employee, Edward Campbell was at work
on the third or fourth floor near the ele-
vator shaft, handling a heavy truck used
for conveying cases of tobacco. Before
the elevator reached the basement the
truck, unfortunately, slipped through the
opening and fell down the shaft, striking
Mr.. Custer on the head He sustained d
scalp wound about three inches and a half
lang and had his shoulder badly bruised.
The workman was rendered unconscious
and as quickly as possible was taken to
DR.. Meighen's office, where his injuries
were dressed Later he was removed to
his home, and the attending physician
stated that he was resting as comfortably
as could be expected. Had it not been
that the truck struck an elevator beam,
partly breaking the force, it is considered
that Mr.. Custer might have been killed.
