CUT HIS OWN THROAT.
Strike Breaker Believed That He Was
Marked for Smuggling.

Chicago, May 16.-Bricklayers' hall,
chief labor headquarters in Chicago
and meeting place for the Federation
OF Labor has been invaded by police.
Eleven men We're arrested VINO had
taken refuge in the building after a
nnnunion driver had been 'slugged.
Fear that he would meet the same
fate as G. J. Carlstrom, the wood
worker, who was killed, it is alleged,
by ffsluggers'' has led John Mitter-
man, to kill himself. Mitterman cut
his throat with a razor while standing
in the street opposite his dwelling. He
died two hours later at a hospital, raw
ing against the unions. Mitterman
up to and after the time of the strike
was in the employ of Fred L. Nickel
in whose shop CarlsrrOm worked. He
was one of the men on the list OF
those to be "slugged" Of whom Carl
strom was the first
The fact that he was to met the fate
OF CarlstrOm so prayed upon Mitter-
mans mind that he sent a letter to
mr.. Nickel a week ago, saying that
ne had been followed by 'sluggers"
and was in fear of his life
An investigation is being made by
the police
Pat McMahon, president of the Ter
"a Gotta Sand and Brick Transfers
union, has partially recovered from a
blow on the head with a "blaCk jack, -
SUPPOSEDLY administered by 'fsluggers'
sters- Mcmahon says he will continue
his fight against the policy Of Presi-
dent Shea in the present strike as he
had been doing.
George Tallman and Henry Meals
colOred men attacked by a mob of
strike sympathizers at Fourteenth
and State streets today, were rescued
by the police. The negroes had
driven teams for the Employers
Teaming company and were severely
beaten.
Big consignments of new strike
breakers arrived in Chicago today re-
cruited in Louisville, Evansville and
other river towns.
Nearly d score of whites deserted
after they reached the city, declaring
they We're not told that there was a
strike on here T. c. Bakers, one of
the deserters, complained that the
two passenger cars in which they were
brought here We're locked during the
entire trip.
More than 100 messenger boys en-
ployed by the Postal Telegraph com
pany paraded the streets today. The
boy strikers occupied themselves
chiefly in shouting at nOnunion team
sters.

LIVES IN A HUT.
Chicago University Professor FIees
From Sound of Piano.

Chicago, May 16.=With the dual
desire of getting away from neighbors
who annoy with piano playing and
singing, and of living a life which he
can fashion as he chooses, Oskar Eek
stein, an instructor in chemical re-
search at the University of Chicago,
has deserted the neighborhood of Mid
way Plaisance and now is living in a
hsherman's hut one the shore of Lake
Michigan, where he prepares his own
food chooses his companions from the
few fishermen that live near by and
wears the greater part of time
simple bathing costume.
Dislike for conventions of all kinds
and a wish to be allowed to live his
own existence in his own Way-these
are the influences which had led the
scientist to leave his pleasant apart
ments for the lonely house beside the
lake.
The hut or cottage in which Dr.
Eckstein lives consists of one room,
twenty feet square. It is simply fur
nished, containing a table, chairs and
a bed. There is also a. bookcase, al
though the occupant does most Of his
work at the university. He rises early,
takes a plunge before breakfast and
wears the bathing suit most of the
time While he is a the cottage.
Laws governing the eating and liv-
ing habits of the people, he declares,
are useless. He prOcures whatever his
fancy suggests and eats it whenever
his appetite dictates.
Oslar Eckstein was born in Munich
IS years ago and has Travelled in many
out of the way parts of the globe.
Since coming to the western continent
he lived one winter with the Crow IN
winter of 10000 with the Pueblo IN
dams in New Mexico.

NO WONDER SHE COMPLAINS
Mrs. Doud Charged s1.15 Storage on
50-Cent Sack OF Feed.

Mrs. Efie l. Doud. of Chetopa, La
bette county, thinks that the Missouri
Pacific has given her the worst of it
on storage charges on a sack of
chicken feed which she ordered from
Des Moines. The chicken feed cost
her about so cents, and the storage
on the feed in the Chetopa freight
depot cost $1.15.
Mrs. Doud says that she repeatedly
inquired of the freight agent whether
her package had come. and he as
often assured her that it had not.
Finally he sent her a notice that it
had been in the depot 2 days, and
he proceeded to collect 5 cents storage
for each day. She wants the state
board of railroad commissioners to say
whether she can't make the railroad
company pay back her money.

Dunlap Makes Confession
TO Ihe District Attorney

Prisoner Also Declares That
He Is Responsible for Other
Crimes in Same Vicinity
Special Dispatch to III. call

GRANTS PASS, Or, May 15.-The
mystery Of the Dunlap murder has
been completely solved by the confess
sion just made by Andrew Dodson be-
fore District Attorney Reames. Dod-
son Acknowledges that it was he who
fired the shot that killed the old min
er, William Dunlap, at the latter's
cabin in September, 1903. Dodson
saws he is suffering so keenly in con-
science that he believes it better TO
tell the truth and go by the shortest
route TO the gallows, preferring death
10 his present torment or to life i'm
prisonment.
At first Dodson declared it was his
partner, Ingram, who-1ired the shot
Dodson says he and Ingram planned
the murder Of the old man while
they were cutting wood near his cab
in, TO secure the gold they thought
was hidden under the floor of the
miners house. Lloyd Ingram. the Is
year-old son Of Ingram, overheard the
plot and followed Dodson the next
day when he shouldered his rife and
said he was going hunting. Ingram
went TO Grants Pass for supplies. That
night the two men and the boy went
TO search the cabin. The boy says he
was forced to aid in the search and
was charged to secrecy on penalty Of
death.
Dodson has also confessed to other
mysterious crimes that have been
committed here during the last two
years. among them being two stage
robberies and two strange disappear
Rnces.
