on. su.Uec. Held.

Chicago. police have made a
number of arrests in connection with
the murder of Mrs. Efle F. Mize Of
New York. who was shot in Washing
ton avenue by man, but all those ar
rested were released later with the
exception Of William Bracey, a null
alto.
There have been no developments
to show that the shooting was any
thing else than the act OF a holdup
man who feared that the cries OF the
woman would lead to his arrest and
who shot her to facilitate his escape.
One Of the theories advanced by the
police is that the murder may have
been the bungling work Of an amateur
holdup man who became frightened
and fired the shot in the excitement.
This is what happened in the case OF
Jim Logan. the colored boy who killed
Mrs. Tracey in the same part OF the
city last fall.

Too Busy Socially.

New York.-A criticism of the
American Protestant churches was
voiced recently by Rev. Dr. G. Camp
bell Morgan, who has been working in
the late Dwight l.. Moody's place at
East Northfeld, Mass. When on the
point of sailing for Europe DR., Morgan
said:
"The American church does not
seem to be much more than a social
organization now. Its members spend
more time developing along social
lines than they do along spiritual
lines. The business men, the influen'
tial Christians and those who are in
position do not do their duty, wrapped
up in their own affairs or busy in the
pursuit of pleasure or frivolity, lose
track of the way and forget the
pledges they made to their church,

Money Made Easily.

Springfield.-Wojciek Biallckl, the
self-confessed murderer, who gave
himself up to the Springfield police
Sunday, was positively identified by
Pennsylvania officers as a fugitive,
for whose capture a reward Of 500
had been offered for seven years.
Biallicki has been regarded by the
Springfield police as a harmless lu-
natic. He has been working on a
farm in SuHield. Conn. and last Sun
day came to Springfield and asked to
be locked up. He had killed an off,
Ger of the law in Shenandoah, he said,
and his conscience had tortured him
until sleep was merely nightmare.
AS a matter of form, Biallch was
detained, and the Shenandoah police
kere notified. Later Biallcki expressed
a desire to have his liberty again.
Surprise was apparent at police
headquarters when Chief of Police
John Temnest and Constable -Iahn
Frye of Shenandoah appeared for
the docile Eiallcki, who, they assured
the headquarters attaches would be
tried for murder in Pennsylvania.
The Shenandoah officers state that
Biallch had an alteration with his
wife, who swore out warrant for his
arrest on the charge of assault.
The warrant was given to Constable
John Dando to serve. Biallcki. the
Shenandoah officers state, deliberately
shot Dando, who died the next day.
With the assistance of fellow-country-
men Biallcki escaped.
The 500 reward will go to PATROL
man John Swift of this city, to whom
Biallcki surrendered. Biallcki waived
requisiton papers and was taken to
Pennsylvania.

ment made by President John Mitchell
OF the United Mine Workers, in an in
terview before he concluded his tour
of the upper anthracite coal district,
the operators have treated him and
the mine workers with much consid-

better understanding all around is
manifested. He says:
"At no time, with the exception OF
last Saturday night, have the opera
tors raised any objections to the min
ers attending the mass meetings, or
even taking off half day to attend
the meetings So good did the oper-
ators act that in some cases they even
furnished their men with necessary
transportations to attend the mass
meetings"

Mexico City, Mex.-The American
smelling and refining company has
closed down it's great mines in Som.
brete, Mex, throwing 5000 men out of

The reason given for the shut down

promise to build a branch road to the
mines and that the expense Of hauling
the ore to the railroad shipping point
in wagons was too heavy.
