AUDACIOUS SVvINDLE
Furnishes Hide Trade with Sensa-
tlonaI Quotations and Obtains
Money on Forged Bills
of Ladlng
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. PA dispatch to
says: The mysterious Il. Gately, ar
rested in New York after long chase
by United States officers, will be tried
here for an audacious attempt at
swindling for one of his years. Gatelv,
whose real name is David Steinberg,
Is a boy still in his teens, and for
eighteen months he has been sought
for misuse of the mails.
Steinberg had correspondence with
a Chicago tanning firm In regard 10
shipment of hides worth $7100. While
working for Steinberg & Co., whole
sale hide dealers here, the boy, who
was distantly related to s. Steinberg,
is alleged to have rented a typewriter,
purchased stationery and in a back
room of a squalid lodging house, start
ed the business of the Memphis Hide

He obtained money orders on alleged
forged bills of lading forwarded from

lated for delivery of alleged fraudu-
lent concerns was made by his em-
ployer, who dismissde him from serv-
ice. Thoss who knew him believe he
made thousands of dollars by his nervy

MACK TRIES TO
FUSE FACTIONS
HARMOMNY IN NEW YORK
SEEMS PROBABLE
Says He viii Not Make Effort to
Influence Selection of Demo-
cratic Candidate for
Governor
Ry Associated Press.

R5' Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-As a first
step to restore harmony in the ranks
of the Democratic party in New York
state, Chairman Norman e. Mack OF
the Democratic national committee to-
night conferred with Charles F. Muir
ply, leader of Tammany Hall. SEN
ator Patrick H. McCarren of Brook
lyn, whose leadership in that borough
is threatened by his break with the
Tammany leader, was at the Hoffman
house late today, but did not visit
national headquarters. Mr.. Mack,
however, intimated that he expected
to see Mr.. McCarren within few
days.
The conference between Mr.. Mack
and Mr.. Murphy took place at dinner.
The meeting was arranged soon after
the arrival of the Democratic national
chairman today from the west, where
he had been for several weeks. Speak
ing of the situation in this state Mr..
Mack said he should not attempt to
dictate to any state leaders concern
ing their attitude toward each other,
nor would he try to influence the Sc
lection of the Democratic candidate
for the governorship. The opinion was
expressed by Mr.. Mack that he be-
lieved it to be his function, however,
to do everything he could to promote
the interests of the national ticket in
New York, and in every other state.
He said: 81 have no engagement to
see Mr.. McCarren, but 1 am here to see
any Democrats who care to call on me.
1 will see all shades of Democrats. 1
believe the Democrats of New York
state will be able to work together for
theS best interests of the national
party"
Concerning the situation in the coun-
try generally, from a Democratic
standpoint, Mr.. Mack said that he had
found everything rosy" so far. MIR.
concede that Pennsylvania would go
diana to be as certainly Democratic as
Pennsylvania is Republican. He would
not say as to Maine.
The itinerary of Mr. Bryan, so far
as it has been arranged, probably will
be made public tomorrow. Mr. Mack
said he thought he would have it ready
by that time and that several points
will be included that have not hitherto
been announced.
National Committeeman Salisbury Of
North Carolina arrived in the city to-
day to confer with Mr.. Mack Most
of the day at headquarters was en-
ployed in getting settled in the rooms
just opened there. The chairman ex-
poets to be here about week and then
return to Chicago for short time.

HONESTY BRINGS
TORTURE TO BOYS
LITTLE FELLOWS STRIPPED
AND BEATEN
One Child Is Whipped Almost to un-
consciousness for Principles Which
Forbade His Committing
Theft

By Associated Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-Stripped of their
clothing, tied to trees and cruelty lashed
with switches-such was the punish
ment meted out to two boys by two
older youths for whom the little fell
lows had refused to steal.
The case came to light yesterday
through the arrest of Arthur Holm
gren,S aged 16, and Joseph Cassibion,
Is. Their accusefs are Richard Enger,
aged 12, and Richard Keenley, aged Z
years.
The attack on Enger occurred Tues
day afternoon and Keenley was beaten
yesterday, both in the same woods at
Forest Glen.
Enger was fishing when the two boys
appeared suddenly and forced him back
into the woods, where they stripped him
of his clothing and bound him to a
tree. Both his captors seized switches
and belabored the helpless youth, bruis-
ing him and cutting into his flesh. En-
ger was beginning to lose consciousness
when the beating ceased, and he was
united from the tree. He was told to
don his clothes, take bunch of skele-
ton keys which were offered to him,
and rob a cottage a short distance
away.
Enger, unable to speak shook his
head, and at this he was again tied to
the tree and another beating adninis-
tered. Again he was liberated, helped
into his clothes and ordered to go to a
bridge over the river, seize a woman's
purse and bring it back to them. His
second refusal angered his captors still
more and they prepared to beat him
again.
Enger pleaded with his captors and
declared that he would not commit a
theft, no matter what punishment was
to him. Then the boys
half dragged their victim to Jefferson
park, where they liberated him and
boarded a car bound for the city.
Richard Keenley was seized while he
was playing in the same woods, was
given a beating, apparently for the
pleasure his screams and cries OF agony
would afford his captors, and then was
'eleased. He told the police afterward
hat he was not asked to commit any
,rimes.

Special to The Herald.
REDONDO BEACH, Aug. 27.-The
Wilson Grocery company of Hermosa
was visited by a holdup man last
night. AS Mr.. Smith was getting ready
to close for the night he was con-
fronted by man wearing mask and
displaying a heavy revolver. Smith
promptly threw a flve-pound pail of
lard at the fellow and struck him on
the head. The man was on his feet
again, however, in an instant, and
made hasty escape, leaving his hat
and revolver on the floor where he
fell. Smith reported the case, but no
trace OF the man could be found.
Today a bareheaded boy entered the
store and purchased a small order of
groceries. While Smith was doing up
the packages he asked the little fellow
where his hat was, and said he had
one the lad could have If he wanted
it. Smith produced the hat and the
boy at once remarked: Why, that's
papa's hat"
When asked where his father was,
the boy said he was sick abed, having
bumped his head real bad on the
barn door"
AS yet no arrests have been made,
but 1t is understood that officers are
drawing the net carefully. The mans
name is being guarded with the ut
most secrecy, as he has long been con-
sidered one of Hermosa's s leading citf-
zens, and has a fine wife and family.
It is stated that he is man of means
and owns two fine houses at the beach,
