FACED TWO BAD MEN
Chicago Highwaymen Foiled by

How Mrs. Willis Saved nm Unknown

Bravely defying the revolver and
threats of footpad, Mrs. Bessie Will

AT about IL o'clock Mrs. Willis was
standing at her door saying good

spending the evening with her. While
they were talking in the doorway a
man who later reported his name to
the police as Z. c. Fowler, 4o3 West
Adams street, passed along the west
side of Latin street, closely followed
by two other men. As Mr.. Fowler
reached the alley between Monroe
and Adams streets, the two men
stopped him. The party on the steps
across the street at first suspected
that it was ease of robbery. but
as there was no struggle and no out
cries the robbery idea was abandoned
The three men soon separated, Mr.
Fowler continuing on his way to-
wards Adams street, the thieves re-
turning to Monroe street, where they
stopped at the corner to await w. }

For the last ten days there has
been going on among come Of the
leading Republican statessnen who
are in the national capital. a quiet but
no less earnest discussion with re-
gard to the possible necessity Of the
party taking some decided steps to
control the combinations which are
rapidly involving within their clutches
the Industrial enterprises throughout
the country.
Some Of these political war horses
are afraid the country has been real
izing too soon on It's newly-formed
prosperity, with the result that
temporary collapse may come along
about the time OF the next preslden-
tial election, which will be exceed
ingly disastrous for Republican po-
ltical prospects. Within the last two
weeks several informal conferences
have been held between welb known
Republican senators and the matter
has been submitted, It is said, to Prsi-
dent Mckinley himself These con
servative Republican leaders believe
the influence of the administration
should be thrown against too large
Industrial combinations, even ii they
are not trusts. and that the country
should be warned in g general sort
of way against the dangers Of over
speculation and too rapid extension
Of credit. based upon the hope OF
continued prosperity. One Of the sen
ators said: There is no apparent
danger Of anything like a panic or of
a collapse OF any present real values.
The difficulty is that so many people
who were hard up five years ago are
attempting TO realize on the prosper.
ity which has already come to us.
There is political danger to the Re
publican party in the spirit which has
been manifested. particularly in Wall
street to boom every kind OF security,
without regard to it's real value The
Republican party would have to stand
the blame II the trusts themselves col
lapsed because they had too much
water in their securities According

brakes and thereby saving the coun-
try from a temporary relapse, such as
