SUES CITY DETECTIVES FOR
FALSE ARREST AND ASSAULT

SEATTLE, Jan. City Detectives
Lane and Adams have been made defend
ants in a $1,000 suit for damages brought
by j. l.. Durbin, a jeweler, who was ar
rested two days ago, mistaken for a sus-
plcious character. The arrest was made
after Durbin resisted and after shot
was fired at him by one of the detectives.
Durbin alleges that he was assaulted by
the detectives without cause, and detained
in the city Jail for fifteen hours. He
claims that he was bruised and wounded
and that his reputation was injured bv his
arrest. Furthermore, he claims that he
had to pay an attorney S25 to secure
his release.

skillful operation at Utrecht, and also to
subsequent careful treatment and nursing,
been almost cured.
This had very great moral effect in
cheering and bracing him mentally and
physically, and with absolute quiet and re-
pose his nerve and brain powers have
steadily recovered. After the arrival of
the eX-president of the Orange Free State
at Cannes little while ago Mr.. Kruger
suddenly said one day to his secretary, Il
must go and see poor Steyn." His physi-
clan and his friends tried hard to dissuade
him, thinking that the exertion would be
too much for his powers, but the we'll
known old-time Kruger obstinacy pre-
vailed and the very next morning off he
went by an early train to make the tedious
journey to Cannes
The meeting between the two old com
rades and brothers-in-arms was touching

INSPECT TACOMA THEATRES

As direct result of the Chicago theater
fire Tacoma Building Inspector e. L. Tuel
is making thorough inspection of every
theater in this city. According to Mr..
TuePs own statement, if every law relating
to the building of the theaters were lived
up to every playhouse in the city would
be closed. He explains this startling
statement by saying that many of the
theater laws are out of date and i'm
practical however.
The inspection of the theaters was made
at the suggestion of Mayor Campbell after
he had learned of the terrible results of
the lroquois fire. Both the building in
spector and the chief of the fire depart
ment have been instructed to see that
the theaters are complying with the laws,

character, and had jewelry in his room
which was possibly stolen. They entered
his room in his absence, and when he came
in and found them there he raised row
about it. He says he supposed them to be
thieves. and when they seized him he at

as he ran down the hall. He dropped to

confined IN the county Jail until Monday
afternoon, when he finally induced the po-

toned in the lobbys and on the stages OF
the theaters every night. That is the part
OF the new inspection that is in the hands
of the fire chief.
The building inspector will make a re-
port to the mayor after he has finished
the work of inspection. 1t is very prob
able that a number of alterations Will have
to be made in the theater buildings, espe-
cially in the galleries.
During his inspection of the Lyceum the
alter yesterday the building inspector
found that there was no asbestos cur
tain, but that otherwise the building was
safe. During test made some time ago
the house was emptied in Az minutes.
This afternoon the building inspector
will look over the Tacoma theater, and
tomorrow. will inspect the smaller the
aters of the city.

NO ACTION TAKEN
IF WAGE QUESTION

So far little has been said of the wage
question in the convention of the Inter
national Single Weavers' association, now
in session. The matter came up yester-
day in the form of resolution, but after
a short discussion it was laid on the table.
1t was the sense of the meeting that it
would be time to take action when the
cut in wages was actually made.
The convention will probably finish its
work TODAY

hardly a flicker of life left in the fine old
statesman.

HOW GANG KILLED AND ROBBED.

Never before in Chicago, and perhaps
never in all the country, have so many
desperate crimes been crowded into 50
short time as in the case of Van Dine,
Niedermeier, Marx and Roeski. Previous
to their last arrest the four youths had a
criminal history extending over less than
five months, with the exception of small
oifenses of larceny. In that time they
killed seven men. wounded several others,
robbed five saloons, a railroad ticket Of
flee the street car barns, and attempted
to dynamite a train. Five of the murders
We're committed within two months.
The most desperate crime of the men
was the car barn robbery on August 80.
Roeski and Marx arranged the details, but
Roeski was not an active party to the
robbery. Two men were killed and 81 $50
was taken. Marx, Van Dine and Nieder-
meier invaded the barns at o'clock in
the morning and began shooting without
warning. Francis w Stewart, student
at the Armour institute, at work at
desk in the cashiers Office, was shot
through the body and died soon afterward.
William b. Edmond. receiving cashier, al
so was shot, but not mortally. James B.
Johnson, motorman. was killed as he
rose from a bench on which he was sleep
ing.
Some time afterward Marx was arrested
on suspicion, and in the fracas that fol-
lowed killed detective. He made con-
fession duplicating the other three in the
numerous hold-ups and murders and a
vigorous search for the three was begun
The three youths were finally located in
a dug-out on the sand dunes skirting the
southern shore of Lake Michigan several
miles from Chicago. In the desperate bat
tie that resulted in their capture the
Young bandits killed detective and a
railroad brakeman, seriously wounded

with bullets. though not seriously injured.
