BLACK BURGLAR
J: HARD HITTER
~ n

An uncanny experience befell
Charles Mcdonald in his room in
the Albany lodging house about 4
o'clock this morning. He was
awakened by strange noise to
see a negro going through his
trousers. Hardly yet awake, he
bound out of bed and was struck a
singing blow ON the jaw which
knocked him UNCONSCIOUS. He re-
covered quickly but the burglar
had gone.
Mcdonald searched his clothing
and found that $50 and some pa
pers had been stolen. He notified
the police but was unable to de-
scribe the burglar any further
than that he was black as the ace
of spades and could hit like a
mule kicks.

substituted the corpse for herself
and fired the house. She probably
fired by slow working fuse. This
would give her several hours
start, and she was probably in Chi
cago at the hour the house
burned"
Prosecutor Smith has carefully
prepared mass of seemingly con-
vincing evidence against Lam
phere. who was found in a hollow
tree the morning of the fire. He
was seen running from the direc-
ton of the house.
The alibi for Lamphere is that
he was in the house of a negress
at the hour the fire was discov-
cred. The negress will substan-
tiate his story, Worden declares.

CONSUMERS UNION"
HAS UNIQUE PLANS
BY PETER POWERS,

A consumers unionr bias been
founded in Chicago and efforts are
being made to extend 1t throughout
the country
The object of the organization is
to form monopoly OF purchasers
and introduce an equitable ex-
change of service and supplies The
promoters say that so far their Gus
tom is given to the present system,
so far its millionaires and depend
ent toilers must continue, and that
so far as their custom is given to
an equitable system. so far their
lavish production will be enjoyed
by the producers.
AS soon as sufficient groups of
consumers are formed it Is planned
to establish factories to employ it's
members. 1t is pointed out that
organization is power, and that
commodities can be controlled by
consumers If they get together.
Farmers and urban workers will be
associated and exchange products
at actual cost. thus abolishing the
economic waste that goes to vari-
GUS groups of middlemen who are
said to be unnecessary and burden

HAL CHASE

NALIFORNIA baseball cranks are
deeply interested In the career of
~ Hal Chase, the brilliant native
son balltosser who recently resigned
his position as first baseman for the
New York Americans and voluntarily
went into the outlaw State league
That his grievance must be a serious
one with him will be readily under
stood when 1t Is known that he was
receiving a salary said to be $4,000 for
his seasons work, and enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the greatest first
baseman in either OF the big leagues.
Chase says that he is weary of the
kind of baseball that the New York
team Is playing, is weary of being
slurred by the management, and that
he never will play again with a team in
organized baseball. 1t is believed that
he has deeper grievance-one of the
heart and mind. He is a proud young
man and believed he should have been
given the management of the New
York team when the recent shakeup
occurred. Failing to get the job, 1t is
believed, he became sore at the man
agement and decided to quit. He also
is piqued because his team Is a tail
ender, and his brilliant work at bat
and in the position he held down went
for naught.
That he is sincere in his determine
ton to remain a baseball outlaw was
proved few days ago when he re-
fused an offer of the Boston Ameri-
