ONCE PROMINENT,
NOW BEHIND BARS
JOHN H. SCHUBERT, FORMER
MANUFACTURER IN AUSTRIA,
Is CHARGED WITH FORGERY.

John II. Schubert, once head OF one
Iof the largest machinery plants in
Austria. and whose brother Is jus
tice OF the Austrian supreme court, Is
a prisoner in the county Jail awaiting
examination Oct. on a charge2of forg-
cry.
Ii is alleged that he passed a num-
Der OF worthless checks for small
amounts on saloonkeepers he visited
as representative OF IL Kentucky
whisky house. After selling them a
bill OF goods he would ask them to
cash the checks on the plea that ne
was out Of ready cash, according to
the police.
Schubert insists that he believed
the checks were perfectly good and
says they were given to him by a
friend in Pennsylvania In payment OF
an Indebtedness. He does not doubt
now. however. that the checks were
worthless, and says he will make
them good II given the opportunity.

proprietor as a man for whom no

ago. The saloonkeeper grabbed Schu-
bert and held him captive in the thirst
parlor until he could summon the pa.
troll wagon from Chene station. Schu-
bert accepted the situation with resig-
nation. offering no objection to being
locked up.
Schubert says his machinery COM
pany went bankrupt a few years ago
and he came to America with his wife
to start life anew. Mrs. Schubert had
been an actress OF some note previous
to her marriage, and on reaching this
country the glamour of the footlights
again attracted her, and she left her
husband to return TO the stage, Schu-
bert says. She Is now playing in
vaudeville under the name OF Title

Schubert has tried his hand at sew.

country, the whisky business being his

genous defense In Judge Connolly 8

on trial for the alleged careless use
OF firearms. One day last June a
crowd Of boys was throwing stones at
his house, No. sS2 Harper-ave. Julius
ordered them to stop. declaring he
would use a shotgun on them II they
persisted in their deviltry. The boys
did not heed the warning, and Julius
was as good as his word. One OF the
boys received a portion of h charge Of
bird shot in his neck, and Julius was
prosecuted on the charge stated.
Attorney Ferguson contended that
such a charge could lie only where
there was lack OF malice. and pro-
duced law In support of his position.
Whereas, the testimony showed that
Mr.. Haas was mad, and good and mad.
too, when he fred bird shot into the
crowd. Judge Connolly held with Al.
tcrney Ferguson and directed the Jury
to find the defendant not guilty.

ATTEMPT MADE TO
BLOW UP HOUSE
ON R|vARD-ST.
CAN OF POWDER SET OFF ON
THOMAS HAYwARo's PORCH,
BUT LITTLE DAMAGE IS poSE--
POLICE HAVE THEORY.

Some unknown person or persons
made a diabolical attempt to blow up
the home OF Thomas Hayward. \
Grand Trunk engineer. at No. 1922 RI
vard-st., shortly after 1 o'clock We'd
nesday morning. A can OF powder
and large bottle OF kerosene oil were
placed side by side on the porch. A
rag was tied around the can. and a
large piece OF concrete placed on top,
Then fuse was run into the opening
of the can and ignited.
The defamation was terrible and
|awoke the neighbors. who came run
ming out OF their homes In scant at
tire to see what had happened. Mr..
Hayward was out on his run at the
time and Mrs. Hayward was in the
house with her four children. two sons
and two daughters. She was greatly
frightened.
Patrolman William Hopp heard the
explosion and hurried to the scene,
but was unable to get any trace of the
|perpetrator Of the outrage.
Notwithstanding the elaborate
scheme OF destruction the damage done
was very slight The porch was
scorched slightly. the front door
screen was torn and the porch light
shattered, but the woodwork was not
damaged.
The whole affair is mystery to
Mrs. Hayward.
I'VE have no enemies that | know
Of" she said. Perhaps the powder
was meant for some one else and tho
plotters made a mistake In the house.
That Is the only way can account
for It,"
The police will make a thorough in
vestigation,
The Hayward home is only a few
doors from that Of Vincent Longo. the
Italian fruit dealer from whom two
Italian youths attempted to extort
money by means of Black Hand le..
ter some months ago. Both young
men we're convicted. The police be-
lieve that friends of the pair were
probably seeking revenge on Longo
and made mistake In the house.

the trading Of transfers between con-
ductors. The defendants are represent
