GIRL RESCUED
FROM DIVE
Detained in South Chicago
Resort is Sent Home
to Danville.
CAPTOR USES HIS PISTOL
Police Hold Him on Criminal Charge
After Hearing the Story
of a Rescuer.

A sensational case involving fair
prisoner held against her will in
house OF i'll fame, together with
gallant rescue by young knight Of
her acquaintance who chanced to learn
OF her detention, has come to light in
South Chicago.
The story embraces the midnight
scaling OF a ladder to the girls room
by her would-be rescuer. and an inter-
change of shots between the hero and
the villain.
Dora Martin is the name of the girl
and she is from Danville, Ill. She is
about 20 years 6f age. The young man
who sought to rescue her is Charles
Nader, also of Danville. The girl had
been missing from her home for some
time and Nader happened TO learn that
she was an inmate of a house of i'll
fame run by a man named Pisa at
915S Harbor avenue. He visited the
place where he obtained an interview
with the Miss Martin.
The girl who is of respectable par
entage wept bitterly and told Nader
a pitiful story of having been lured to
the resort by false representations and
was being held prisoner there against
her will.
Plans Desperate Rescue.
TIL young man planned a thrilling
rescue for the young woman. He de-
termined to enter her room by means
of ladder at O'Clock in the morn
ing and on Wednesday morning pro-
ceeded to put his plan into execution.
He had gone half way up the ladder
when Pisa discovered him and opened
fire. Nader claims Pisa fired at least
twelve shots at him and Pisa admits
to three or four.
Whatever the number it was suf-
fcient to bring Nader down the ladder
in hurry.
He escaped from Pisa and yesterday
came to the South Chicago police sta
ton TO give himself up in case Pisa
had taken out warrant.
Lieutenant Smith said he had had nc
complaint against Nader and the latter
repeated his story. Lieutenant Smitl

of as between s20.oO0.OO0 and s5,O00,-

In his letter President Miller states
that as there are great many in

comment by the newspapers on pros

the prospects, and asks a thorough in

He takes the position that there IS
nothing connected with the affairs OF
the company that will not bear the
most rigid scrutiny. and has no doubt
of the ultimate outcome, but that the
suits may be brought for the purpose
OF shaking public confidence.

STARTS A SPITE SUIT.
Ex-Employe Said To Be Conspiring
to Do Company Injury
Latter Asks Justice.

With the desire to forestaIl what he
claims is a conspiracy with motives
of blackmail and spite, on the part
of an ex-employe, to wreck the Chi
cago-New York Electric Air Line rail-
road company, the "Ten-Hour Road" !"
President Alexander c. Miller, has pub
lished a letter, asking that in case
suits be started, a thorough investiga-
tion of the matter be taken up before
unfavorable coment is made.
As a matter of fact. the promoters
of the railroad think they see an at
tempt to place the company before the
public in an unfavorable light, and
to block the progress of the mammoth
enterprise that is TO make the other
east and west railroads look like slow
freight cars. President Miller has is
sued a statement in which he claims
that an ex-employe of the railroad is
about to enter suits after calling a
meeting of the stockholders of the COM
paIly.

ing stairway climbs to the very PIN
nacle of the structure, but this part
has never been open to the public.
When these different platforms arc
converted into airship stations, the
French will, indeed, possess novelty
of which they may be proud.
When the French complete the
equipment of the Eiffel tower as the
eye and brain of their military opera
lions, they will doubtless have soma
startling innovation to present.
Upon a peace footing the French
army consists of about $4,000 men;
the total war strength of the nation Is
figured at something over 100000.
Were the armies of France to in
wade Germany, England or Italy, they
could be directed by the Eiffel tower
station far into those countries-to
the capitals Of England and Germany,
did they succeed in getting that far
But if the main duty were defense
of the republics home territory, the
wireless service would probably bs
even better, as more Or less perma-
nent stations could be erected along
the line of frontier Notifications from
which to communicate with Eiffel.
When the new frontier line was
drawn by Germany after the war OF
1870, it was so arranged that all the
!! strongest positions should fall on the
| German side of the line. Frances
first line of defense stands back from
| the frontier at Verdun, Toul, Belfort
and Besancon.
The defenses of Paris are SO miles
away from the city, extending around
it in circle of Notifications so that
an invading army-the Germans, for
example-even after overcoming the
first line of defense would have to
break through this inner ring.
For that reason there will never be
another siege of Paris in the same
sense as the last one. Should an
enemy get past the 50-mile chain Of
forts there would be no other obstacle
in marching upon the city. :
Here, then, is the necessity for a
vigilant war eye at the capital over;
looking all the military area withit
the frontiers.
The army corps at Nancy would un'
doubtedly bear the first shock Of a
German advance; every turn of tina
tide of conflict must be known al
once to Paris, SO that the other corps
could be promptly moved like men on
a chessboard.
In a similar way the fleets under
the tri-color could be moved. Frances
great navy would be cemented into q
mobile and effective whole. She has
in active service 557 fighting ships
of all kinds and 257 other vessels.

tassels and braiding are not so cost

no means cheap.

question that is still being most VIC

in these days no woman feels she is

what best suits her own especial style

In making walking-skirt' which is
to be short, every thing should be re-
membered and adopted that will give
an appearance of length. Circular
trimmings, therefore, ought to be
avoided. A plated skirt, with the
plaits running downwards and stitch
ed down firmly to about eight inches
from the ground, is very good style.
Another desirable form OF walking

DIFFER IN CARRYING MONEY.
PecuIiarites Noticed in Men of Vari.
Gus Nations.

It is interesting to note the various
methods in which men of different ma
tionalities carry their worldly wealth
The Englishman and the American
carry their gold, silver, copper and
paper money all loose in their trous:
ers pocket, pull out handful of thu
mixture in an opulent way, and select
the piece they need.
The American, when he does carry
a pocketbook, places his "wad of bills
in a long, narrow affair, sometimes
called wallet, in which the green
backs lie fiat.
The Frenchman makes use of .
leather purse with no distinguishing
characteristics The German uses ona
gayly embroidered in silks by the fair
hands of some Lottchen.
The capitalist from some torrid
South American city carries his doll
lars in a belt with cunningly devised
pockets to battle the gentlemen of the
light-ingered class Some of thesa
belts are very expensive.
The Italian of the poorer classes
ties up his little fortune in gaylyt
colored handkerchief, secured with
many knots, which he secretes in
some mysterious fashion about his
clothes. .--
A similar course has charms for tha
Spaniard, while the lower class Rus
sian exhibits preference for his
boots or the lining Of his clothes as q
hiding place for his savings. =.
Many American men deem the car

cnlne. 1t Is amusing to view the vary.
ing shades of opinion that are being
expressed in foreign circles, now that
this so-called American invasion of the
old country is an assured success.
Some of the French trade centers pro.
TESS to regard it as actually danger
Gus to their industry. Already is the
idea advanced that the importation to
this country of foreign machines may
be curtailed, while others fear that
the demonstrated ability of American
cars may lead foreign dealers to seek
agencies for American machines. Both
possess elements of truth, and, indeed,
within the past month requests have
been made by several large French
concerns for American car agencies.
From one center in Paris the PROPOSE
ton has actually been made that the
tour ought to be prohibited.
Let. the American cars enter our
races and competitive tests, if they
wish to show what they are capable
OF, says one of the French motor Jour-
nails, 'or if the tour must go on, let
French cars enter on an equality with
the American vehicles"
Others, however, realizing that the
tour is settled fact, adopt a more
lenient policy, and are Offering the
glad hand. Says Charles Faroux. one
of the leading Automobiles in
France:
THE organizers of the tour have
wished to prove to the Yankees that a
tour of Europe is not especially re-
served to a few wealthy persons, but
that party of five can travel through
our wonderful countries in automo-
biles cheaper than by rail and in the
hands OF an agent who will provide
far more comforts than is usually pos
sible from most of the foreign
agencies. This s>not an American in
vasion, for transatlantic manufac-
turers know full we'll that the hour of
Yankee commercial superiority will
certainly not be in 1907. 1t is a pro-
ject of the highest interest, which can
not fail to impress the prosperity of
our tourist regions. That is why we
will accord all our assistance to the
American motorists and assure them
of a welcome as worthy Of them as of
ourselves"
