THEIR Fame DEPARTS.
Chicago Bandits Will No Longer B.
Permitted to Pose Publicly as
Harness

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Following the death
of Detective Joseph Driscoll, eighth
victim Of the car barn burderers, the
morbid hero worship Of the boy bandits
received an effective setback when
Mayor Harrison caused the Withdraw
al Of Mamie Dunn, Van Dimes sweet
heart, from exhibition in a Clark street
dime museum.
Although there is no law under which
the management of the museum could
be compelled to discontinue the exhibit
ton, Mayor Harrison, believing the eX-
element had reached the proportions
of Il public scandal, wrote to Paul
House, the manager, requesting him,
in the name of civic decency, to with
draw Miss Dunn from the list of at
fractions. City Collector Lahilf de-
livered the letter, and Mr.. House i'm
mediately acceded to the mayors re-
quest. The letter was as follows:
In the interests Of decent citizenship I
write to protest against the exhibition Of
Miss Mamie Dunn at your museum. The
death OF Officer Driscoll this morning only
adds to the offense. AS mayor Of Chicago
| feel 1t my duty to ask that this exhibit
ton cease at once. Yours respectfully,
Carter H. Harrison.
Later the bullet marked dugout from
Edgemoor, which also was on exhibit
ton, was attached by L. H. Morris, a
museum employe, in a suit to collect
salary alleged to be hue.
Detective Driscoll died at 6 a. m. at
Mercy hospital of the bullet wound re-
ceived in the first fight with the bandits
last Friday morning. Neidermeier has
confessed to firing the shot which
killed the policeman. Driscoll, whose
recovery had appeared possible at first,
sank Monday night and finally passed
away while Father Gates was praying
beside his bed. Driscoll left a widow
but no children. The widow will re-
ceive a police pension of S49.5O a month
and. unlike the widow of Quinn, is not
in financial difficulties.
Both Mayor Harrison and Chief
O'Nein during the day issued renewed
appeals to the public to aid Mrs. Quinn.
Michael Phillips sent to the chief so
cents, which he said was all he could
spare. He offered to sell his clothes to
punish the criminals if the chief says
so. Other donations made a total of
$120 for the Quinn family, and $40 for
the Quinn and Driscoll families.
To Be Tried Soon.
Marx, who pleaded guilty, may be
placed on trial this week. The evil
dence, however, will not be completed,
as he will be needed as a witness in the
trials of his accomplices. Van Dine,
Marx and Neidermeier were arraigned
again before Judge Kersten on an in
dictment which had not been copied the
day before. Marx pleaded guilty, the
other two not guilty.
-. M. S., Il Of the bandits of the
band" has sent Chief Of Police O'Neill
4 demand that the murderers b. re-
leased, with a threat to blow up the
county Jail unless the demand is COM
piled with. The letter says:
Il write you a few WORDS to let you
know thai if you don't release Neider-
meier, Van Dine, Marks, Roski and
Marx this week you will see the Grim
inal court will be bowed up or the
Sheffield avenue station"

DOWIE WELL FIXED.
Zion Leader Is Declared to Have
Large Amount Of Wealth for a
Bankrupt.

Chicago, Dec. s. John Alexander
Dowie today issued the following or
der to his chief of police:
"All who have not Zion in their
hearts cannot come into Zion. From
now on arrest or escort to the city linn
it's every person who either is not of
the faith or is a United States official.
We will bow to the government alone"
Following this order the usual force
of Zion guards was doubled, many
Of them patroling the outskirts of Zion
with ponies.
Federal Custodian Redieske said to-
day his inspection of DoWie's books led
him to believe Dowie was better off
financially than any bankrupt he had
ever known.
He said the ~receivership would I'M
doubtedly last several months. The re-
ceiyers are fearful that hard times may
come to the Dowieites, the food supply
houses having refused credit to the
Zion agents.
Federal Judge Kohlsaat has appoint
ed Dowie temporary manager of Zion
City's industries. 1t is the idea of the
court and receivers to interfere as lit
tie as possible with the established or
der Of DOVES Industries. Dowie will
be the agent of the receivers and the
arrangement will be discontinued if it
is found the interests managed by him
are not made to pay.

BAKER DENIES ALL.
Magazine Writer Says Major Runcie
Didn't Tell the Truth About
That Article.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The senate
committee on military affairs today re-
sumed its hearing in connection with
the charges against Genera Leonard
Wood. The first witness was Melville
%. stone, general manager of the Asso-
ciated Press.
MIR. stone was questioned concern
ing the report that General Wood had
sought to retain E. G. Bellaire as rep
resentative Of the Associated Press at
Havana, saying 1t was important to
have a man representing the Associ-
ated Press at Havana who was in the
confidence Of the military governor.
Bellaire was retained, u his previous
record was not known to the officers of
the Associated Press. When it became
known Bellaire was discharged.
Ray Stannard Baker, the mar whom
Major Runcie said was at dinner with
General Wood and himself when the
proposed magazine article criticising
General Brooke was discussed, denied
all the testimony of Runcie, so far as
1t related to himself and General Wood,
concerning the article attacking
Brooke.

A KING AND A RAILROAD.

Temperance workers throughout the
world should be greatly encouraged
by two recent orders. from widely diff
ferent sources that are calculated to
effectively discourage indulgence in
strong drink. says the Washington
Post. One of the orders in question
was issued by King, and the other
by the president Of q railroad COM
pany; yet both were aimed at the
same abuse, and both will undoubted
ly have the effect Of accomplishing
what the temperance organizations
have been working for these many
wears. without very satisfactory re-
suits. One of the orders makes .
Kings favor dependent upon temper
ance; the other makes total abstin-
ence a necessary qualification f.
holding a paying position on one of
the largest railway systems in the
United States.
Several months ago attention was
called to the fact that nearly all Of the
railroad companies and many OF the
large employers Of labor in the coun
try had issued orders prohibiting
their employees from drinking or
smoking while on duty. Now the Big
-Four system has gone further and
issued an order to the effect that its
employees must not drink intoxicating
liquors while ON duty or of. The
company makes It . cold business

1t does not want the serv-
ices Of men who drink while on duty
or who keep sober while on duty and
befog and bemuldle their brains with
booze while off duty. 1t wants keen,
alert. clear-brained men, and will be
satisfied with no other kind. The ex-
ample Of this railroad will doubtless
be followed by other large corpora
tions that employ worknen in large
numbers The result of it will un-
questionably be beneficial and salts
factory to the employers to the men.
and to the public. which looks tn
such corporations for the performance
Of services in which the lives and
safety Of people are concerned.
King Edward of England is respon-
sible for the other movement in the
encouragement Of temperance. Upon
two occasions quite recently he has
called attention Of subjects to the fact
that it is not all Of life to drink. On
one occasion, Sir Oliver Mosley, Bart,
who had been ordered by his physi-
clan to abstain from the use Of wines.
drank the Kings health in bumper
of rare old port, and the next day ad-
vised his majesty Of the incident.
The King caused letter to be writ
ten to Sir Mosley. in which he said:
"His majesty particularly requests
me to say that he thinks it undesira-
BILE for any one suffering from your
complaint to drink too many healths
/ in old port" This was not an order
| to be sure, but must be considered as
very strong hint to the nobility that
the King will not look with favor upon
indulgences of this kind. In another
letter the King spoke with much more
directness. and his hint, under the
circumstances, cannot be taken as
anything short of an order. To an
officer Of the navy he wrote: "His
majesty would be glad II it is circu

who drink it in water as by those who
