FIRE ON FORMER
MAYOR in DARK
Clear Lake, Iowa, Excited
by an Alleged Attempt
to Assassinate.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
~ LEAR LAKE, IOWA, May l2.-
Intense excitement reigned
here today over an alleged at
tempt to assassinate former Mayor R.
IS. Young.
Shots were fred at him by unknown
men hidden in park while he was
going home from a visit to the scene
of fire which had aroused the inhab-
itants at an early hour, but he was not
hurt.
A small blaze in the residence por-
tion Of town prompted a fire alarm,
and occasion, it is believed, was taken
to wreak vengeance upon the former
official.
The feeling between Young and for
mer Mayor Clausen, rivals for office,
has engendered bad blood, and Clausen
has gone SO far as to bring charges
against Young before the grand jury
now in session for alleged malfeasance
in Office while trustee.
Young brings countercharges before
the same body, charging Clausen and
his son with running "blindpig.N
Each side is doing it's utmost to get
sufficient evidence for an indictment,
and both have friends who are assist
ing them. .e
The grand jury adjourned today
without making a report, but will re-
turn on Monday. .s

~ TTAWA, Ont, May 12.-Altho
~ there are some immense indi.

the ownership of an entire transcon-
tinential railway system by two men
only, has as yet no equal. A new rail
road across Canada will soon be com.
zpleted and will be owned by two in,

upon it.
Riches, even beyond the fondest
dreams of modern avarice appear to be
within the almost certain grasp of the

The firm of Mckenzie & Mann is

as combining intrepid courage, great
foresight, ,tireless energy and business
capacity which makes for success in
every venture in which they determine
to embark. It is possible that they
will hold all the common stock Of theil

will be retired. ..s.a. -

CHILDREN HELD IN
BONDAGE, He SAYS
Greek Boy Recalls Alleged
Slave Trade Extend
ing Into Minnesota.

Special to The Journal.
- HICAGO,. May 12.-Secrets Of an.
alleged Greek padrone system OF
~ slavery and oppression of young
boys in Chicago, for years conce aled
from government and state lnvestlgat-
ors, were revealed today.
A young victim Of the system de-
clared that at least 5000 young children
are kept in virtual bondage in the
Greek fruit stores, restaurants, saloons
and shoe shining establishments OF the
city. Their masters, it is asserted, beat
them if they complain against working
as many as nineteen hours day.
Locked Up, He Says.
The overworked children, it is added,
find their few hours daily rest in dirty.
lofts or dark, ill-ventilated Easements,
sometimes under lock and key. The
children are kept from the police and
factory inspectors, the boy said, by FREE
quently changing the lodging places Of
the older ones and. keeping those Of
tender years locked up for days at a
q e. /
time. s-s 80,
The youth who revealed the work
ings Of the alleged child-slavery sys-
tenn among his countrymen told what
he knew only on assurance that his
name would not be revealed. Con
densed the secrets Of the alleged system
are as follows:
Some Come to Minneapolis.
Boys are brought to Chicago from
the various Greek ports in groups
sometimes running as high as fifty al
time. The arrangement is that per
sons securing the services Of the boy!
pay their passage money, usually about
$35 each, and fee to the padrone
In return they get years service Of
each boy, they agreeing to pay each
small wage after the first year.
The boys are led past the immigra
tion officials at Ellis Island by agent
Of the system among the immigrants
who pose as relatives of the children
Coach child is thoroly schooled be
fore leaving Greece and told what re
plies to make to officials.
On arriving in Chicago the groups O
children are divided, some being pu
in care Of agents Of the system il

a commune on the DenCh or the
United States district court.
For some months the judge has been
in doubt as to his course He has been
on the federal bench ten years and had
felt for time that the state of his
health might not permit him to con-
tinue.
On May 81 it will become optional
under the law whether he retires from
active service. Fifty years ago this
summer Judge Lochren made his first
appearance at the Minnesota bar, and
next fall it will be twenty-five years
since he took his place upon the bench
in the district court of this judicial
district. The recent meeting of the
Minnesota State Bar association op-
portunely fell upon his seventy-fourth
birthday, and the ovation that was ten
dered to him at that time must remain
for years as the finest honor bestowed
by the bar of this commonwealth to
one of its number. At that time Judge
Lochren announced that HE had not
yet determined whether he would re-
tire from the bench or not, but that it
would be largely determined by the
condition of his health. -
But Judge Lochren s health has been
steadily improving of late, and much
Of his old-time vigor, and enthusiasm
for his work has returned. He has
been attending to his duties as regu
larly as of yore and shows no signs
of needing protracted vacation.
Accordingly the veteran jurist has
decided to retain his seat for an in
definite period. go.
