CHICAGO, May 23.-War on jury dodg
ers and the public officials. who aid and

County officials Following an order is
sued by Sheriff Pease yesterday that en-
ployes OF his Office should not aid citizens
in escaping jury service it transpired
that a quiet investigation on the part
Of several Judges has been in progress
with a view to eradicating the evil.
Scandalous disclosures of the ease with
which influential citizens escape the jury

the result of inquiry. 1t is the belief of
the iurists who have taken up the mat

The existing conditions have /been
brought to the attention of Sheriff Pease,
the court clerks and other branches of
the county service by several Judges who
quietly have been seeking the causes of
the miscarriage of justice principally in
criminal cases in Chicago. AS a result
Of the investigation the charge is made
that jury dodgers and the public officials
who aid them are responsible for the
prevalence and spread of crime in Chi
cago and of the general disregard of the
law on the part OF criminals.

president of the State building
Trades Council of California. explains
his position regarding what was er-
roneously stated TO be a difference or
opinion between Mr.. Mccarthy and
others as to the wages that should be

CHARLES |. SPIER
DECLARED SUICIDE
BY CORONER's JURY
Confidential Agent Of H. H. Rog-
ers Not Killed by Burglar
in His Home.

NEW YORK, May pa verdict
Of suicide was rendered tonight by
the jury in the inquest into the death
by a pistol shot wound of Charles L.
Spier at his home at st. George, Stat
en- Island, on the morning of Monday,
May 7th.
Spier, who was the personal repre-
sentative of H. H. Rogers of the
Standard Oil Company, was found by
his wife shot through the heart in the
hallway Of his house, a few minutes
after he had aroused her from sleep
10 tell her that a burglar was in the
house, and taking his pistol, had gone
down stairs. One chamber of his
pistol, which was found beside the
body. had been discharged. In the
dining room opening into the hall
quantity of silverware was scattered
over the floor, and little doubt was en-
tertained at the time that he had met
death at the hands Of a burglar.
The police, however, after eXamin-
ing the premises, inclined to the theory
that Spier had committed suicide, and
later il was reported that he had lost
much money in Wall street and that
he had temporarily deposited as col
lateral with his bankers securities en-
trusted TO him by Rogers.

LYNCH|NG FOLLOWS
DOUBLE MURDER IN
CH|CkAsAW NATION
Mountaineers Quickly Avengs
the Killing Of Two Women
by an Unknown Man.

OKLAHOMA CITY 60. T.), May %.
1t was learned here today that a
double murder to cover robbery,
followed by a lynching. occurred in
the mountain wilds in the Chickasaw
nation two weeks ago. The partici-
pants in the tragedy were mountain
eers, who agreed among themselves
to keep the affair secret.
Two weeks ago an unknown man
went to the home of r. T. Tut, who
lives near the base of the mountain
and demanded food. He was refused
by Mrs. Tut, who found it necessary
to enforce her refusal by the display
of a rife.
A few days later, a nearby farm
house which was occupied by two
maiden women was broken into.
The sisters were shot in an endeavor
to protect themselves and were robbed
of 800 in cash.
Neighbors discovered the deed and
posse was organized. The murderer
was trailed to the woods and upon
being overtaken was riddled with bull
lets. Upon the return of the boys
from the woods, the only remark in
response to inquiries was:
well, we guess he will not rob or
murder anybody else

FAMOUS PLAYER
IN BREAD LINE
Tom Carey, the Chicago
Shortstop, in Sore FL
nancial Straits.
Was With Anson, Flint,
Ed Williamson and
Many Others.

Tom Carey, the famous old time Short
stop, who played with the invincible Chi
cago White Stockings in the early S0's
is in the bread line at the park, down and
out Carey says his baseball days are
over and cheerfully remarks that the
sore-arm liniment, as he terms our fog,
has put his wing on the bum The old
fans will remember the days when Carey
was regarded as the greatest shortstop in
the baseball world. Them were 'appy
days., and old Tom Carey, one of the
highest-priced ballplayers of his time,
stands with the rest, in line waiting for
his daily handout
Carey signed with the most famous ag-
gregation of ball twirlers that played dur
ing the sos. He was shortstop for the
White Stockings when that team sold
Mike Kelly, the famous pitcher, to the
Bostons and later parted with $4,000 to
get him back. In 1882 the Chicagos came
West and played a series of games, de-
feating the Knickerbockers, Sam Raj
ney's great bunch of firemen PLAYERS
Carey sadly recalls the joyful moments
when he used to draw $1,000 a season for
five months playing with the Chicagos.
Then he was with the crowd of spheroid
throwers that held the championship over
the Bostons and Cincinnati Reds.
Adrian Anson was captain and first base
man, Silver Flint catcher, Ed William
son and Joe Rueft on third and second
base and Dalyrymple. Kelly and George
Gore in the field. George Mccormick,
Mike Kelly and Larry Cochran twirled
the horsehide for the team.
Carey can sit and talk by the hour
about old-time ballplayers. He tells of
how he went on the field once to play
the Knickerbockers in this city with a
large revolver strapped around his belt.
He was quickly seized and asked what
he was going to do with the gun. Carey
laughngly replied that he had heard that
they shot man out West for making
an error and wanted to be prepared for
any reception.
i've got couple of glass arms now.
says Carey sadly; 'the bread line is my
only chance"

DOES NOT BELIEVE
LIQUOR IS ALWAYS
INJURIOUS To MAN
Rather Startling Statement Is
Made by Archbishop Of
Milwaukee.

MADISON. Wis. May 23.-That
booze" is not always bad for man
was the rather startling declaration
of Archbishop Mesimer Of Milwaukee
in an address read before the state
Anti-Saloon League.
1T is unnecessary to state that I
use the word temperance in the usual
strict sense as applied to the use OF
intOxicants.'' said the archbishop.
Not in the wider sense of moderation
in the use and enjoyment of any earth
ly goods. Hence IN itself and under
normal conditions the moderate en-
joyment of an exhilarating liquor is
no greater wrong than the enjoyment
of a cooling dish OF ice cream or of
a plate of citrQn favored blue points
or of glass of sweetened lemonade.
But We are told, alcohol is most in
furious to the system and the natural
law forbids man TO needlessly injure
his health. Hence ii is always wrong
to take it. But is alcohol always in
furious? To me this is one of these
incorporate exaggerations that we
sometimes hear from the unguarded
lips of professional temperance
speakers. Neither science, nor medi-
cine. nor experience support it's state
ment; they fatty contradict it,
