Chicago, Oct 23.-Mrs. Margaret Les
lie, the actress found dead in her room
in the Palace hotel last TiElrsdav af-
ternoon. did not commit suicide as was
supposed, but was murdered. Herbert
Il. Nicholas, theatrical manager, ar
rested on suspicion, confessed today
that he aided in the murder ind that
George Leopold, a drug clerk for whom
the police are now searching, was lis
dccomplice. The WOma7S diamonds and
her money were the motive for the
crime.
Before Nicholas confessed, he was
subjected TO long inquisition by the
ponce, who had gathered a good deal of
evidence against him. He first offered
to tell his story If granted clemency,
but on this being refused, he made a
complete confession duplicating Leo
pold. He said that he and Leopold went
10 the woman's room Wednesday night,
and after few minutes conversation,
he suggested that they have a drink,
producing bottle of whiskey.
How Murder Was Committed.
Mrs. Leslie was taking care of her
jewels at this time and ner back was
turned towards them. While in this
position, Leopold, according to Mich
olas, seized the woman by the throat
and choked her into insensiblity
Throwing her on the bed they placed
a towel saturated with chloroform over
her head The man then took some of
the woman's garments and tied them
tightly around her neck. Seizing her
jewels. which were valued at s., go, the
men turned on the gas jets, hurried out
OF the room and left the hotel. The next
morning they met by appointment and
divided Those inh iah
olaS took have already been recovered.
1t was the anxiety of Nicholas to real
lie money on the Jewels which led TO
his arrest. Detectives working OH the
case, found some of the diamonds i'll
pawn shop, and they traced them to
Nicholas He was then arrested, and
he declared that Mrs. Leslie, who lad
been an old friend of his. had given
them to him. He told conflicting stOr-
les, however, and finally admitted the
theft and under pressure. the confess
sion of the murder followed.

OF The FUTURE
How Many Boys Taking Jobs

Mass of Them Must Work at Some

How many boys, Just starting
to work, know what they are po.
ing to do later in life! Most Of
them take the first position they
can get without thinking what it
will lead to or if there is any ad.
vancement and whether they will
like the work and take an interest.
i'll it or not. There are hundreds
of boys everywhere who have ia j
future before them in the place
they are working in5nows and who
Sbaxe not given the future a
thought. They start in some.
office and the highest they will
ever get is to be a clerk or a book
keeper at $40 or s12a week for
the restsofs their life. Before tax
ing position, it viii pay any boy
to think of what the place he is.
taking has III store for him, and
not be thinking what he will get; to
start on. = ~
Well enough, but the question
does start off at the right point.
This is the real query: How many
boys, just; starting to work, have
the slightest choice in taking a job9
They size what they can get, not
what is iii the line of their inclina-
ton. Liking it or not, finding it
interesting to them or not, seeing
thatEit is suitable to their tastes
and talents orsnot, they take EN-.
ployInent because they have found
with it a wage of - or 50 week.
The mass of boys must go to work
at about the age of Ia or 15 to
help keep the family Besides, if
twere possible for al, or even.
many, to exercise choice of the
promising leads there would be a
great dislocation of the present
machinery of business. The poor
jobs would tend to become better
ones, as they would be stunned;
the places with fat salaries would
submit to Law of competition.

DETECTIVES ARRESTED

The days of individuality, per-
sonal liberty, etc, in our great
factories is thing of the past, hav,.
ing been lost in the magnitude and
great proportions to which our
modern institutions have grown.
There is no individual liberty to be
obtained now. with standing alone;
the only way to Obtain real free
dom and liberty on the industrial
field in these progressive days is
through combinations in trade
unions and applyiny the principle
of collective bargaining. One man
standing alone In our great institu-
tions is lost; his efforts to obtain
recognition impotent and futile,
while100 men or 500 men will, in
one harmonious unit, become a
power of strength, and are thus
able to secure liberty, freedom of
action, better wages and i'm proved

DANGER OIL LOW DUES
Trades Unions Should be Fortified
BY Substantial Treasury,
IT IS AN ESSENTIAL FEATURE.
Union Men of all Trades Must Give
Close Attention TO the Policies
of their Respective
Organizations. n

Trade unions have been thriving
to such an extent in this country
Tor the past lew years. SAYS the
Analgamated Woodworker that
the average member of the organi.
zation. has not. had occasion TO stop
and consider where we are at, aud
so the unions have gone on adding
new features which entailed in. !.
creased expenses without proyid-
ing for adequate revenue to meet
the increased demands on their
treasury. Usually the ordinsi;
resources of nearly all organiza.
Hons are taxed almost to the limit
to maintain these obligations, MAX
ing it impossible to Accumulate
funds for emergencies that are
liable to arise at any time.
THERE'S good reason for all this.
One is that neither conventions
nor the referend um of any oreani-
szaton ever gives due consideration
to expectancy of life in making
laws governing death benefits; con
.sequently unions attempt to pay
sums that are ntterl out of pro-
portion to the revenue received.
Some say the lapses make UP the
Idi differences, but unions do not per-
nit members to lapseif they can
prevent it, and as organization is
being perfected unions are continu.
ally increasing their effectiveness
in successfully reducing the num-
Der of slapses.
Time was when protracted
strike or series -of strikes involving
considerable numbers meant the
beginning of the end of the organi-
zation, whether the strikes were
won or lost. The time is past.
a strike, big or little, won or lost
is now looked upon only as an in
cidentin the lifeof an organization
The stability of trades unions is
only endangered by the desire of
some of its membership TO get out
tof the organization more than they
are willing to contribute. This
lshort-sightedness is not confined to
union men in America. but seems
to be universal. 1t is true even of
Great Britain, the home of the
trade union, where the highest de-
tyelopment has been reached.
Thomas Reece, the veteran labor
writer of London, in let .er print
led in a recent number of the
American Federationist, observed
that there are some there, too, who
look upon the payment OF. dues as
an imposition, while to receive
benefits is a right which should
not be denied under any circum-
stances.
The primary function of our
unions is to protect our distinct
interest as workers. Beneficial
| feature may be added and main
tanned at less than cost than in any
other society, and we ought to be
willing to defray that cost by pay
ment of sufficient dues to meet it
and still have means to carry on
the prime purpose of organization
among working people.
A few unions have fortified
thems ,lyes against contingencies
by providing that a certain sum
per capita be held, and that
amount is assured by laws making
