BIG ARSON PLOT.
Head of a Detective Agency Ac-
cused of Furnishing Money
To Carry ON Business OF Blow
ing Other People Up.
WORKERS GOT $500
For Wrecking Rubber Factories
With Dynamite.
Two Attempts Made to Destroy
Two Buildings.
WORKERS GOT $500

Chicago, March 3-Confessions
made by two former convicts to Fire
Attorney Hogan in the office OF Chier
of Detectives O'Brien revealed one OF
the most gigantic arson plots that
have ever come to the notice OF the
Chicago police.
Joseph H. Mack, manager of a de-
tective agency, is accused in the con-
LESSONS of being the person who fur
nished the funds for carrying on the
work. Another man. well known to
the police for his connection with
hotels of disrepute. is said to be the
chief conspirator. Mack. it is said
acted as his agent.
William Dempsey, one or the men
who have confessed the alleged con-
spiracy, Thomas Kennedy and Mack
were arrested.
While Mack and his two accusers
sat in Chief O'Brien's office, the hotel
keeper, alleged to be the main con-
spirator, was brought in. The confess
sions of Dempsey and Kennedy were
read to him and he stoically denied all
knowledge of the. charges against him
self and Manager Mack. He was
detective agency, and this ne also
denied.
Mack sat on sofa few feet from
where his alleged employer was under
going a trying examination; one
word from Mack and the hotelkeeper,
who is a cripple, would have been
locked up and charged with the same
crimes as the others.
But Mack refused to admit that the
suspect was in any way connected with
the arson plot and the man whom the
police believe to be the principal In
the plot was allowed to go. he Is
under surveillance, however.
Fire Attorney Hogan alleges that
the three prisoners made two attempts
to destroy two buildings occupied by
firms that manufacture rubber goods.
The hotelkeeper is engaged In the
same business, and it was this COM
petition, the police say. that is at the
bottom of the arson plot.
Dempsey and Kennedy confess hav-
ing received about $500 from Mack
during the last three months for
wrecking the rubber factories.

The number OF members during the
year was Sc. This year we have, so

great generosity in permitting the
club to, play over the golf course and
tor his keeping up the course in such
fine shape and for the many improve
ments which have been made by him
during the past year on the clubhouse
and on the course.
Further alterations and improve
ments which will extend the course
considerably are at present in prog
ress, the two special features OF
which are the lengthening of the
fourth hole by taking the teeing
around back to about 145 yards from
the top of the hill; and the extern
sion of the fifth hole to about $40
yards, with suitable hazards through
out.

ORpHEUA TONIGHT

Tonight's performance will be the
final one of "Other Peoples Money"
which has proved one of the most
delightful plays presented here this
season. Tomorrow night the first
performance of THE Great Conspir-
acy" will be given. This is a society
melodrama, its characters being
mainly New York society and club
people. The story Is an unusual one,
the villain and his accomplices tap
ping the Atlantic cable and sending
to the United States report that
two European nations had declared
war against this nation. The object
of the conspiracy, the influencing of
the stock market, is accomplished,
and the villain grows wealthy, only
to meet fitting punishment at the
conclusion. The play abounds In
comedy and is up to the standard OF
the melodramas that have been hold
ing the boards at the 0rpheum dur
ing the past few weeks.
On Monday night next the first
performance of THE Squaw Man" Is
