are such) we make the price low accordingly.

ROUGH AND TUMBLE IN
UNION LEAGUF, CLUB
Eminent Republicans in Chicago Mako
an Effort to Spill Bad
Blood.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The Union
League club was the scene, few days
ago, of a rough land tumble fight be-
tween George f. Cole, president of the
Legislative Voters league, and Fred
M. Blount,vice president of the Chicago
National bank and Republican leader
of the Twentieth ward. The affair was
kept quiet by the friends of the two
men and just leaked out today. The
governing committee of the Union
League club has taken up the matter
and both participants in the fracas
probably will be disciplined.
1t has been an open secret for some
time that bad blood existed between
Messrs. Cole and Blount on account
Of political differences. Mr.. Blount, who
is prominently identified with the Re-
publican machine. has never relished
the fight made against the machine
candidates by Mr.. Cole as president
of the Municipal Voters league and OF
the Legislative eVoters' league. The
two met with some friends at the club
and politics was discussed.
Before any Of the group realized the
serious turn of affairs, the lie had been
passed and Blount, according to wit
nesses, had seized Cole by the throat
and forced him to the floor. The rest
sof the group separated the enraged
combatants and reminded them that
their actions would reflect upon the
club and that they were making spec
tacle Of themselves.

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Sept. 6.-The
Catholic parsonage on Church street
was the scene of a desperate struggle
and the capture of a burglar by Father
Michael Esper last night. Father Es-
per was preparing to retire, and by
chance he saw the body of man
crouching on the floor in an unoc-
cupied sleeping room. The electric
lights were turned on and the stranger
made an attempt to gain liberty by
rushing from the room.
A struggle followed and Father Es-
per dealt the burglar a terrible blow,
telling him. Both men fought Tor sew
eral minutes. Father Esper was handi-
capped by a house robe that he wore
and received several wicked blows on
the head and face. Finally the in
truder got favorable opportunity to
run to back window, where he had
hoped to make his escape.
Just as his body was practically
through the window the priest caught
him by the heels and held him in this
position until the police came. The
man was locked in the city Jail. He
gave his name as Frank Reagan.

RED LETTER DAY FOR
AMERICAN GENERALS
They Are Presented, to Emperor. Will
liam and Renew Acquaintance
With Prince Henry.

BERLIN, Sept. Generals Corbin,
Young and Wood were presented to
Emperor William today at the Marken-
dorf parade field, near Frankfort, on
the Oder, after the parade was finish
ed. Gen. Corbin was presented first.
The emperor welcomed him most cor
daily Among his majesty's first
words were hearty thanks for the at
tentions shown to Prince Henry dur
ing the latters visit to the United
States. After further converse ton,
Emperor William presented Gen. Cor
bin to the empress. While Gen. Cor
bin was conversing with her majesty
the other American generals were pre-
sented to the emperor.
The whole scene was impressive.
Emperor William was mounted on an
iron gray horse, which many Ameri-
cans who have visited the parades on
the Templehof field here have admired
for it's Statuesque poses as the troops
filed past his majesty, and the Ameri-
can generals were mounted on fine
bays from the emperOr'S stable. While
the introductions were taking place
the German officers assembled in the
vicinity to hear the emperor critlc1Se
the performance of their respective
troops during the parade.
Additional splendor was added to the
scene by the presence of Lord Roberts,
Mr. Brodrick, the British secretary of
state for war, and party in brilliant
British uniforms who had been pre-
sented before the American generals.
Emperor William invited all the
American generals with their aides and
Liet. Col. John B. Kerr, the United
States military attache at Berlin, to
dine with him at the new palace, Pots
dam, Monday night.
On the special train going to Frank
fort-o the Oder was Prince Henry,
who came up especially from Hamburg
for the parade. In the royal waiting
room at the Frederichstrass station
the American party were presented to
him. Prince Henry conversed with the
Americans all the way to Frankfort
on-the- Oder, speaking enthusiastically of
his American trip and the friends he
has made in the United States. FIe
expressed his purpose to visit the
United States again after his naval
service is completed, but more pri-
vately than on the occasion of his first
visit, so as to have a. better opportun-
ity to study the country and it's peo-
pie.

MOSQUITO BITE ENDANGERs
LIFE OF LITTLE GER
TIE KLOS
ARM QUICKLY SMELLS TO
TWICE ITS NORMAL SIZE
Member in Danger of Amputation, and
+ Child Is Severely IlI-Physician De-
cIares Her Condition Is Due to
Scratching the Sting.

Little Gertie Klos was bitten by
mischievous mosquito last Sunday
night, and may lose her left arm as a.
result Of the sting. She scratched the
bite, and blood poisoning set in and
the infected arm is now twice it's nor
NAL size. Besides suffering from the
Inflammation caused by the bite, Ger
ties arm is also sore from vaccination.
Little Miss Klos, who is thirteen
years of age, lives at 351 University
avenue. A week ago mosquito bit her.
In the morning the bite was some
what swollen, and itched awfully The
little girl scratched it and soon>it be-
gan to swell.
Blood Poisoning Develops.
'Tt didn't hurt me much until
Thursday" said Gertie last night.
"Then it began to hurt, and soon after
mamma found it was liberated. She
tried poulticing 1t, but 1t continued to
swell and the pain got ever so much
worse.

that ! had better have it attended to
at once, so yesterday mamma sent me
down to DIR. Cooks office.
my vaccination commenced to work
and the two together make my arm
very sore The doctor told me that IL
keep very quite may be able to at
tend school next week. You know I
want to go so badly"
Mrs. G. M. Klos, the girls mother,
was not at home slast night. A rela-
tive said that the doctors who examin-
ed the arm say that it will probably
be necessary to amputate 1t.
Home Treatment Fails.
''The physician who examined 1t
first" said the girls aunt, Thought
the Inflammation was due to the vac
cination, but DR.. Cook saf0 yesterday
that it was all caused by scratching
the mosquito bite.
I'VE did not pay much attention to
the arm until it began to ulcerate
Thursday. Then Mrs. Klos poulticed 1T
and bathed the sore every little while.
But the treatment seemed to accom-
plish but little. The arm continued to
swell, and this morning was nearly
twice it's usual size.
'"To add to the little girls misery
she feels very sick, and can hold MOTH
ing on her stomach. 1t is all due to
the poisoning, and we hope that the
medicine the doctor gave her will do
some good. We tried all the home REM
edies, but none seems to give relief"
Hopes to Save Arm.
DR.. Cook said yesterday that the in
f1ammation was due entirely to po1s-
oning the mosquito bite by the little
girl scratching it with her finger nails.
Said Dr. Cook: "If the arm Is at
tended to properly l do not think 1T
will be necessary to amputate 1t, but
you can never tell how blood poisoning
is going TO act. However, l look for
favorable results in this case. The
vaccination has nothing whatever to
do with the Inflammation.

TWO MEN HELD UP,
ONE ROBBER ARRESTED
Hiehwayman Fights Successfully With
Policeman for Freedom, But Com
panion Is Held.

Policeman Frank Bloneck made a
sensational capture of a bold holdup
man at Grove and Thirteenth streets
early this morning. The man was one
of three who perpetrated two hold-ups
between II and II o'clock last night.
Bloneck caught two of the men as
they ran from an alley opening on
2 Thirteenth street, but one landed a
heavy blow on his jaw and escaped.
The man arrested claims to be John
Wilson and admitted to Chief O'Connor
that he was implicated in both rob-
berries.
The first robbery occurred about IL
o'clock, when William o. Squires was
stopped by three men on Pleasant
street near Chestnut. Two forced a
revolver before his face while the third
searched his clothes. They then or
dered him to walk straight ahead and
not say anything of the holdup.
The holdup men secured $S in cash
from Squires and a gold watch.
Henry Bamment was relieved Of his
cash by the same gang on Central ter
race between Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets at 1920 o'clock.
The men surrounded him and the
same two that made the revolver play
on Squires repeated the trick. Batl-
ment moved as If to resist, and one
of the men hit him over the head with
the revolver, inf1icting severe wound.
At the Central police station this
morning Bamment identified a watch
found on Wilson as the one taken from
him. He also claimed an old Norwegian
coin, pocket piece that he carried for
a number of years
Wilson confessed to Chief O'Connor
that he was. implicated in, the hold-up,
but denies having made the revolver
play. Bamment saws that he is one Of
the men who used the revolver.
Up to 2:30 the other hold-up men had
not been apprehended, but the police
have their names ard feel confident
that they will land the men today. AS
far as is known the men are all stran-
gers in the city.
The men who, escaped are known to
be desperate chaTRef and it is be-
lieved they are criminals whose cap
ture will be important. They are
thought to be experienced at the high
way robbery business, as they carried
two revolvers each and went about
their work like experts.
Their names were learned soon after
the search for them began and Chief
O'Connor, who went out personally to
superintend the pursuit, declared he
would have them behind the bars be-
fore daylight.
The two who escaped are describ-
ed as twenty-five or twenty six years
old and five feet, six or seven inches
tall. Both were smooth shaven, one
being dark and the other very fair
The dark man wore a shirt bearing
wide red stripes and the other wore a
black shirt.
