Plea of Not Guilty.

See Marx, the SqueaIer,
Hanged First.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-The youthful self
confessed murderers and train rob-
bers, Peter Neidermeier, Harvey Van
Dine, Gustav Marx and Emil Roeski,
were arraigned in court Monday night.
Marx pleaded guilty to all the charges
against him, but his three accomplices
pleaded not guilty.
During the afternoon the prisoners
were removed from the Harrison po-
lice station to the county Jail, where
they will remain until brought to trial.
No excitement marked the trip to
the Jail. Each prisoner was placed in
a separate patrol wagon and was
guarded by seven policemen and two
deputy sheriffs. During the journey
Roeski joked with one of the police
men and sarcastically said: Il would
like to have you alone for just one
minute"
Shortly before the prisoners were
removed to the county Jail Marx was
confronted with his three accomplices.
Marks confession duplicating Van
Dine, Neidermeier and Roeski, was
read to the prisoners. The bandits ar
rested in Indiana refused to confirm
or deny the contents of the message.
They were then asked to tell whatever
more they had to say concerning their
career.
Il am willing to hang without the
wink of an eye If l see Marx, the
sQuealer, hang first" Van Dine said.
"The same here" Neidermeier add
ed.
"You fellows got no more than you
deserved" Marx said. Some time
ago." Marx said to the inspector of po-
lice, II met the bunch in Orleans
street, where we intended to rob the
American express wagon and forgot
my large gun. This angered the boys
and they told me to leave them. l
walked away and when so feet away
a bullet passed through the brim of
my hat. 1t was fired by one of these
fellows. l got revenge"
Neidermeier admitted to the police
that he and Van Dine had made an at
tempt to kill Mark. Roesk also said
that he had narrowly escaped murder
at the hands Of his accomplices.

THE SALE OF FIREARMS.
Drastic Measures Submitted to the
Council BY Mayor Harrison.

Chicago, Dec. drastic provisions
for the protection of life from the pis-
toll of the bandit and hold-up man were
submitted by Mayor Carter Harrison
to the city council Monday night. The
sale of firearms is to be regulated, and
the buyer must pay license after Civ
ing satisfactory evidence that he
ought to be allowed to possess any
kind of firearm.
The fearful use made by the car
barn robbers Of magazine guns and
the many murders and attempts at
murder through the possession of re-
volvers led the chief executive to sug-
gest that measures should be provided
which would largely aid in checking
crime by removing weapons from the
hands of old criminals and keeping
them from the youths who desire to
emulate bandits.

was just $S37.l4. This was Immediately
after the two years of financial embar.
rassment when scarcely any books were
added.
The totals of such purchases for the
successive years beginning with March

above named were: $l,4O4. AZ, $l,20l .25
$ss227, s747.6l, $59s.eO, $43626, s576. l3

Of the recent large additions of books
to the library fiction is the class to which
by far the most attention has been paid
both Juvenile and adult fiction. Indeed
more volumes of fiction have been pur-
chased than of all other classes of works
combined The additions have also run
rather heavily to juvenile nature study
and biography, purchases that have been
made in response to urgent requests on
the part of the school teachers. Maya
zines too have been purchased and bound
in large numbers, likewise for the sake
of the schools. The library seems to be
becoming more and more of rendez-
vous for students and teachers. Debat-
ers and essayists are learning more and
more to value the opportunities and con-
veniences affoded them here, accommoda-
tions far better than the library ever
afforded before.
