Gus Marks Confesses He and
Two Others Committed Car

CHICAGO, Nov. 24-The mystery
surrounding the hoId-up of the cash

last August, during which two of the
employees Of the office were shot and
killed, was cleared UP today by the
confession of Gus Marks, who was ar

shot down while trying to escape ar

r Harvey Van Dine and Peter Neider-
meier are named by Marks as his oc-
completes in the car barn murders.
According to Marks story, the three
men went to the office Of the railway
Marks says that when he ordered the
men to throw up their hands they
obeyed, but NeidermeieF burst in the
window of the, office and commenced
shooting. Vandfne then broke down
the door with a s1edge hammer, Marks
says, and went into the office and took
all the money he could find. In all
$2,250 was secured, and Marks says
the money was evenly divided among

time. From Denver they went to Grip

Neidermeier and Vandine are under
twenty one years of age and have new

crime, before. Both men were arrested
some months ago and served term in
the BrfdeweH for stealing lead pipe.
This had been the extent of their erim-

aware. Their early arrest is expect

Marks confessed tonight to Assistant
Chief of Police Schuettler that in adj

M|CHIGAN'S COACH
FEARS THE MAR0()Ns
Yost Tells His Players They
Are 0verconfldent Enough
to Lose.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. a.
Michigan's scrirnmage on the snow and
slush-covered gridiron at Ferry field
yesterday afternoon was disappointing,
not only to Yost, but to Trainer Fitz-
patrick as well. e.
you men are just overconfdent
enough to lose at Chicago" said Yost
at the training table last evening. The
squad had been ordered to the practice
field at 2:30 O'Clock, but it was after 4
o'clock before the last. straggier re-
ported.
The rain and sfeet storm which waf
raging was used as an excuse by the
men for their dilatoriness. A substf-
tute backfield of Weeks, Wolf and
Bigelow was put behind the varsity.
and but little Roadway was made
against the scrubs Wolf, the ex-Hyde
Park player, was thrown violently by
a tackler, and his right arm dislocated
at the elbow. The injury will put him
out of commission.
Trainer Fitzpatrick announced last
night that the men in their play yes
terday afternoon evidenced the first
symptoms of ennui, and unless an OPP
portunity for a good, hard scrimmage
presents itself before enbarking for
Chicago Wednesday morning some of
the men may enter the game stale.
Despite the Iistnessness, Yost would
not permit Heston, Graver, Longman
and Hammond to take part in the
Scrimmage.
'"The ground is too hard and treach-
erous to risk yourselves on when so
much is at stake next Thursday" said
the coach.

Schwab Looms Up in Ship

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Testimony of a
sensational nature was introduced at the
United States Shipbuilding hearing which
was resumed here today In his redirect
examination of Lewis Nixon, president of
the shipbuilding company, Mr.. Untermyer,
counsel for the compliments, brought out
from Mr.. Nixon the statement that of

the company was reorganized to take In
the Bethlehem company Loco, 900 went
to Max Pam, Mr.. Sehwab's counsel, and
81 100000 each to Mr.. Nixon, Mr.. Dresser
and the trust company of the Republic,
leaving 81, 600, 900, the disposition Of which
he did not know. He did not know wheth-
ef Mr. Schwab obtained it.
1t was also brought out that at the time
the Sheldon reorganization plan was I'M

purchase $1,000 bonds. with the accom-
panying bonus OF $4,000 shares common
and $4,000 shares preferred stock, issued
to Mr.. Nixon, for $50, 600, while the mar
ket value was far less than this. Mr..
Untermeyer made the direct charges that
this was In the nature of a bride to In
duce Mr.. Nixon to agree to the Sheldon
plan of reorganization instead of the plan
for an assessment of stock which he had
previously advocated. The offer was
shown in two letters of Mr. Sehwab to
Joseph II. Hoadley. dated May rs, 1903,
copies of which were introduced in evil

Mr. Hoadley, it was testified, had con-
