FINE AND
IMPRISONMENT
Judge Girten is Lenient to
the Street Car
Men.
GIVES GOOD ADVICE
Vanderbilt and Reynolds Get Off
Easily on Charge of Defraud-
ing Calumet Street Car Co.

South Chicago, June 11.-Special-
Next to the sin of ingratfdude comes
the sin of disloyalty. in my mind, and
the man who steals from his EMPLOYER
when trusted by the same deserves no
sympathy" said Judge Girten in the
South Chicago court this morning as
he addressed the two employees of the
Calumet Electric street railway com
pany who were charged with substi-
tuting cash register of their own in
defrauding the company.
The men charged with the crime were
Edward Vanderbilt, a conductor and
Olive Reynolds a motorman The plan
of action in the case was the substitu-
tion of a cash register of their own in
the place of one belonging to the COM
pany after the car left the barn, and
the fares pulled in went into the pocket
of the conductor instead of to the treas
ury of the concern. Vanderbilt in a con-
fession made to the police after his ar
rest and read in court by the Judge.
implicated Reynolds as having a know
ledge of the fraud, and that with other
employees received some of the money
as a reward for his disloyalty to the
company.
strong plea for clemency was made
even the law forces for the company
spoke a good word for Reynolds. saying
that he had resigned from the company.
and that efforts were being made to
put him On a right track Vanderbilt
also had a strong force lined up in his
behalf. After hearing the pleas, Judge
Girten read the confession of Vanderbilt
and said that while so many were try
ing TO help the two men he would not
work entirely against them. and dis
charged Reynolds. In the Vanderbilt
case Mr. Miller, a former employe of |
tha Eisllrlap conlpanx whore Wander
bilt was formerly employed sent his
secretary to the court with an offer to
take care Of the defendant if the court
would release him. Mr.. Miller is an
Indiana man and a mine owner in Mex |
leo and stated that he would send the
erring conductor to that place If the
court would be lenient with him The /
story came out that the defendant once /
befriended Miller when he was in poor
circumstances and that when the latter /
became wealthy he wished to show his I
appreciation. Judge Girten then de-
livered a strong lecture to the two men
stating that he blamed the motorman
more than the conductor for not notify
AiH thN NphAPdAS at the ptCuld IlOnS
and said that the sort Of brotherly feel
ing that existed between the employees
of corporation that prevented one of
them from reporting another in case of
a robbery, was altogether wrong, and
that it was as much a crime to steal
from a corporation as from an individ-
ual.
Judge Gtrten then stated that he
could not altogether overlook the crime
but would be as lenient as possible
the fact that the defendant
had wife and two children and that
i was his first offence. He therefore
fined Vanderbilt $50 and sent him to
the House Of Correction for a term of
60 days {

BR|CKMEN'S STRIKE
STILL UNSETTLED
Supt. LaBond Looks for
Early Adjustment of
Difficulties.

The strike which is on at the Nation
al Brick company's plant at Maynard.
south of Hammond is still unsettled
today and the men remain out.
The trouble started when some time
ago the National Bfack company sign
ed the usion sca11sgivtng the men IS
cents per Thousand for handling brick
Now the company believes they viii
lose money on the new scale and want
the men to go back to work on their
former scale which was 55 cents per
thousand.
In speaking of the strike this morn
ing Supt. S. L. LaBond says: The men
are out because they want us to nav
the new scale which is 5S cents and the
company do not feel like they are in
a position to do so, have told the men
that they can come back to work at the
50 cent scale whenever they want 20
but they refuse to do this Yesterday
several members of our company were
out from Chicago looking over the sit
uation and 1 think some kind of a set
tlement will be effected within a hours
as we are losing money as we'll as the
men are by not working.
In all there are 1876 men out. 90 lab
orers, Is molders and 81 green brick
workers.
This morning Supt S ]. LaBond
said he had II men working around the
plant clearing up broken brick and put
ting the machinery in order but the
men were not working in the brick
works.
1t is said that committee from the
Chicago Brickworkers Union was out
yesterday talking with the striking
men but the truth of this rumor could |
not be ascertained.

The three big mistakes in life are
those made by tramp. crank and lack

of one who has attempted to deveIop

modern times. ANY boy has the capac-
