HUNT FOR PRIESTS FOE.
Attack on Father Fielding Part of
Chicago Anarchist Plot.

The haunts of anarchists in Chicago
are being searched by the police in an
effort to find the man who shot twice at
Father J. *. Fielding in the vestibule Of
Corpus Christi Roman Catholic church,
Grand boulevard and Forty-ninth street,
that city, Sunday. The police can ac-
count for the shooting in no other way
than that it was the work of an anti
clerical red" They see in the attack a
similarity to the deed of the crazed Giu-
seppf Ala, who murdered Father Leo
Heinrich, a Denver priest, six months
ago. The attempt On Father Fieldihg's
life is declared by the police to have
been unusually bold. With a number of
children as witnesses two shots were fired
directly at the priest. Father Fielding
grappled with the man and succeeded in
hurting him to the floor. Before the
priest could follow up his advantage the
man ran from the church and escaped
through a crowd, fouTishing his revolver.
He was the most degenerate and desper-
ate looking man l ever saw" said Father
Fielding. The priest said he did not be-
Ieve the man intended TO rob, but that
ne was the kind of man who killed the
Denver priest and the one who attacked
Chief Of Police Shippy.

CHICAGO MAN TAKEN AS THIEF.
II. c. TiedebohI Accused OF Taking
$4,000 from Sefpp Brewery.

Theodore c. Teidebohl, secretary for
many years of the Conrad Seipp Brewing
Company of Chicago. was arrested in
leading hotel in Denver and led from the
presence of his wife to the city jail. Pres
ident Theodore Oehne of the company
and Attorney E. E. Everett of Chicago,
who traced Teidebohl with the aid of de-
tectives, charge that he embezzled nearly
$4,000 from the concern, $4,000 OF
which they claim has been shown missing
by checking the books. Teidebohl, who
is 80 years old and the father Of eight
children, remained in Chicago until last
week. Attorney Everett says that small
discrepancies we're found in his accounts
soon after he quit, and that in August it
was found that at least $4,000 was
missing. On Friday the ex-secretary
reached Denver A few hours later there
arrived the president, the lawyer and d.
tectives. Several conferences were held,
but evidently they were unsatisfactory
and the arrest was ordered. Ieidebohl
gave the name of Harry Horn and refus-
ed to talk. His wife believes him inno-
cent and collapsed when told that he was
under arrest.

The Weekly Review of Chicago Trade,

Payments through the banks, as re-
fected by the volume of bank clearings,
are the greatest in over FIVE months, and
now compare closely with the normal
Commercial defaults again make an en-
couraging exhibit in decreased numbers
and liabilities, but there is yet evidence
of liquidation on old Indebtedness, al
though not adversely affecting the i'm
proved position of credits.
Business generally indicates a moder-
ate gain in activity. particularly at fac
tories and in merchandising, but caution
remains the keynote, and new demands
fall short of expectations in iron and
steel.
An outstanding feature is the gradual
increase of machinery and hands employ
ed in production. Some plants engaged
in metal wood and leather working have
become larger consumers of crude sup
plies, and their outputs mainly exceed
those of a month ago, although only in
& few instances is there closer approach
to the former active capacity.
Ship building has lapsed into further
uuiiAesS, ana lake tonnage computes I'LL
favorably with a year ago
Better indications are found in rail and
furnace operations, car building, heavy
construction, farm implements and ma
chinery.
Weather conditions have favored a sea-
sonable expansion in leading retail lines,
and local sales reflect a gratifying distri-
button of necessaries. Dealings make
fair aggregate in dry goods, food pro-
ducts, mems furnishings and footwear.
Mail orders include numerous supplement
airy lists for immediate shipments to the
interior.
Bank clearings, S243,279, 1913, are 81
per cent under those of corresponding

trict number 81, against % last week and

PAPER MADE OF CORN STALKS
Government Chemists Find a Substi-
tute for Wood Pulp.

The chemists of the Department of Ag-
riculture believe they have solved the
problem of cheaper paper that will dis
pense altogether with the use of wood
fiber. The new material is the ordinary
cornstalk now used only as fodder. The
government chemists predict when the
manufacture of the new kind of paper is
started on a large scale it will be at least
so per cent cheaper than the print paper
now made from wood pulp. 1t also will
put an end to the danger of a pulp fam
inc, which already has begun to assume
alarming proportions. Prodigal extrava-
gance in the cutting down Of forests, for
est fires, and the increased demand for
wood of the spruce tree caused by the
growth of newspapers all over the world
have threatened to exhaust all the worlds
supply of paper material.
Many experiments have been made to
dl over some other material to replace
the wood pulp. Some 5000 different ma
terials have been tested, but vainly. The
chemistry bureau of the Department of
Agriculture has been one of the most earn
est workers in this matter for years, but
not until this week have the results been
so positively successful as to permit any
announcement. The first practicable sam
pies of the new paper have been manu-
featured by DIR. H. S. Bristol and his as
sistants. DR.. Bristol has carried his ex-
periments to the point of making the
paper in five shades. The white paper is
made from the hard outside shell of the
stalk and the yellow grades from the
pith. The yellow grades have much
longer fiber and resemble the paper made
from linen rags or cotton. This kind of
paper is soft and pliable. Millions of tons
of cornstaKs will be available for this
new manufacture. At present the stalks
are cut and used only as winter food for
the stock ON the. farms. The process of
manufacturing the new invention is much
easier than that involved in reducing wood
pulp to paper.

WOMAN HELPS BUILD HOME.

About Concrete Work as Mason.

Says She Discovered New Facts
About Concrete Work Mason.
Working far into the night, side by side
with three Italian laborers, Mrs. Charles
Rice, well known in social circles in
Verona, near Montclair, y. j., has vir-
tualyl finished the building of a hand
some fOur-story concrete residence, into
which she has just moved with her in
valid husband and three children. As
self-taught mason, Mrs. Rice not only
supervised the work, but did much of
it with her own hands, and she declares
besides that she has discovered two new
methods of concrete building which she
hopes will ultimately add to her fortunes.
Mrs Rice began the construction of the
building last March and her friends were
astonished when they saw her, clad in a
nondescript costume OF her own design,
atop of ladder, handling huge blocks of
concrete or mixing mortar. She not only
did work of that kind. but she built the
molds into which the substance was pour
ed and on the whole labored as hard as
did her co-workers.

The drawing for farms in the great

began the work of asserting the 1OS,0OO
unlucky applications and comparing them
with those which drew prizes in order to

tered twice. If any are found among the
prize winners they will be barred from
filing. Wednesday night and Thursday
the work of moving the rush" buildings,
which have lined Main street for three
weeks, to the new town sites in Trip
county made a unique spectacle. The
buildings are on wheels and eight horses
were hitched to each and a forced march
over the prairies began, each owner in
tent upon securing the best location in
the town of his choice. 1t is estimated
that participation in the lottery cost the
landseekers not less than S2,O0O,0OO.

Rain had been falling for several
hours, when the greatest fall ever expe-
rienced in this region of changeable
weather came down. The river at once
became raging torrent and went over
its banks with a rush. Many farms
We're overfowed, buildings were carried
down the stream, and people swept
into the water. One family, consisting
of father, mother and five children,
sought refuge on top of their house
when it was surrounded by the waters.
1t was soon overwhelmed and all were
drowned.
Many thrilling rescues were made by
those living on higher ground. Boats
of every description were pressed into
service and perilous trips made to the
flooded district. Many people passed
the night in trees, and, benumbed at
last by the exposure, dropped to death
in the waters below
In the valley of the Canadian the
valleys for several miles between Shaw
nee and McLoud are inundated, and in
several places the Rock Island, Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas and the Santa

over the dead and waiting for help for
the living. Three of the crew finally
swan ashore and secured help.
