TO GRANT DEMANDS
WOULD MEAN CHAOS
Vice President of Hartman Lines
Says He Will Not Listen to
Men Federation.

San Francisco, Aug. 29.-That to
grant the demands for the federation
of shop employees of the Hartman
lines would mean chaos and that it
would diminish the ability of the cor
porations to fulfill the duties impos-
ed upon them by law, was the state
ment made last night by julius
kruttschnitt, vice president and di
rector of maintenance and operation
of the Hartman roads. Mr.. Krutt-
schnitt took up in detail the reasons
for refusing the demands Of the fed
Grated shopmen, saying:
These are the reasons why We de-
cline to surrender to an irresponsible
committee of federated employees,
representing a very small portion of
the public trusts confined to us by the
entire public and why we will not
concede TO such committee the right
to dictate whether we shall or shall
not fulfill for 2O.0OO,OOO people in II
states the duties clearly prescribed
by law

A BREACH
OF PROMISE SUIT
Mary B. Fuhr of Edgington
Wants Son of Supervisor
to Pay $4,000.
BALM TO HER FEELINGS
Young VenabIe. While in College
Sent Joke Proposal by Mail
and 1t Was Accepted.

AS a result of A joke letter of
proposal written by Frank Vensb BILE,
son of Supervisor Venable of Edg-
ington township TO Mary r. Fuhr. a
neighbor girl, and his subsequent
marriage to another girl a few days
later. the young man is now the De
PENDANT in a suit for $4,000, the
claim being breach of promise. The
young woman, who is the daughter
of Henry Fuhr. a wealthy farmer of
Buffalo Prairie township, yesterday
appeared at the court house and filed
suit against Venable through her at
torney. w. c. Allen.
A little over a year and a half ago
when Frank Eenable was attending
school at Champaign, he and his
roommate, Charles Carpenter, from
the same neighborhood, decided it
would be a fine Joke to write a letter
of proposal to the Fuhr girl. Car
penter framed up a letter in which
the writer asserted very vehemently
that his affection for her was indy
ing. telling her how much she meant
TO him and finally ending up by a
y
ed his name to the letter. The next
mail brought a reply from the young
lady in which she accepted the pro-
posal.
MARRIES ANOTHER GIRL.
At this time Venable was contem-
plating marriage with another young
lady and on his return home from
school began to make active prepara-
lions for the approaching nuptial
event. The Fuhr girl and her par
ents got wind of what was about to
happen and paid a visit to Nenable
and in q stormy scene demanded that
he fulfill his vow. Nenable laughed
at them and took the whole affair
as a huge joke and few days later
was married 10 the girl of his choice.
Now the FUhr girl has hired an attor-
ney and started proceedings to re-
cover $4,000 as balm to her
wounded heart.

POLICE PLACE BLAME.

There is little doubt in the minds
OF the police department as to what
class of people the attempted holdups
may be attributed. for since the driv-
ing out Of the women in the crimson
glare district, the old hangers-On of
the district have been forced to hustle
for themselves TO try 70 make enough
money to buy their food. They have
lived so long and well without work.
that they do not care TO seek en-
ployment, but rather take their chanc-
e. in the larceny profession.
II will be but a matter of days, how
ever. till they. too, will follow the
paths Of the women, and get out Of
Rock Island. The police are securing
the goods on them. and unless they
leave voluntarily. they will need a lit
