WILD RIDE ina HACK.
w. w. Jones Locked in While Team
Dashes Down Kansas Avenue.

Locked in a hack, the horses running
at break neck speed, w. w. Jones,
Chicago travelling salesman, rode five
blocks through the hail storm Wednes-
day evening. Then the hack collided
with a buggy. Jones was in the midst
of the spill, but escaped uninjured.
While the storm was at it's midst
yesterday evening, Jones was anxious
to catch Santa Fe train. He sum-
moned a hack from the w. 7. Lawless
barn. Jones entered the hack and E.
Woodland, the driver, closed the door.
Then Woodward returned to the hotel
to get some baggage. While he was
gone the horses became frightened
when the hail stones struck them on
the head. They started north on Kan
sas avenue from the National hotel.
Jones yelled eXcitedly for the horses
to stop, but they only quickened their
speed. When they started down the
incline near Fifth street, the animals
were running almost at top speed. Sud
denly in the binding rain and hail
storm they collided with a buggy owned
by Edward E. Witchey, a real estate
agent. Witchey himself was sitting in
the buggy and knew nothing of what
was happening until the hack struck
his vehicle.
In an instant the hack team was on
its feet again and started on the race

terval, persons who saw the runaway
were given time to act. Forrest Bur-
nett and George Yates, who work at
the Fitzgerald grocery store, caught
the team and released the imprisoned
passenger. Then Woodland arrived,
made hurried repairs and took his pas
senger to the train.
1T was the most exciting incident of
my life" declared Jones, as he sat in
the waiting room at the depot and re-
lated his experience. Il don't know
how escaped with my life. You real
ly don't know how fast a person can
think in very few minutes. I wanted
to get out and couldn't. Every minute
I expected the team to collide with a
street car or a trolley pole. Somehow
felt that 1 would be killed. Yet
didn't lose my reasoning. 1 think 1
pened so suddenly that I really don't
know everything I did think about.
Through the window 1 could see the
crowds watching. [ never saw such a
rain and hail. Everytime a hail stone
struck one of the horses they seemed
to go all the faster. They suddenly
struck something. The hack swung
around and L found myself in a pile
at the bottom of the hack. l was hard
ly bruised and 1 think my escape was
the luckiest thing I have ever known"
Hundreds of persons saw the run
away and the imprisoned passenger.
Many realized the perilous trip Jones
was taking, but they were unable to
act,

FEAR FOR FRIENDS.
But Many Anxious Inquirers Make
Answer Impossible.

Washington, April 13.-The Mexi-
can revolution has caused anxiety in
many a household in the United States
and Canada, as is evinced by the num-
Der of kilograms received here inquir-
ing for information concerning the
whereabouts of friends in the affected
territory.
The state department has had
many such inquiries and has attempt
ed through its consuls to furnish
prompt replies. Dr.. Vasquez Gomez,
head of the confidential agency of the
Mexican revolutionists in Washington
has also been besieged with kilograms
since the revolution started. Most
the messages, however, fail to state in
what region the friends were last
heard from. DIR. Gomez received a
message of that kind today from
Bellefontaine. Ont. 1t read:
IF you can reply that Walter Mac
Kenzie and NJ. H. Lodge are not kill
ed, you will greatly relieve us.
(Signed.) WIN. JACKMAN.'
DIR. Gomez has requested further in
formation and will endeavor to locate
the men through the records of the
revolutionary army.

BOMB CAUSES PANIC.
Explosion Caused by Black Hand
Agents Police Say.

Chicago, April 13.-Hundreds of
houses were shaken about midnight
when nitroglycerine bomb was set
off, supposedly by black hand agents,
on the porch of a house at $50 Ewing
street. One of the central points of
panic was Hull House, only a few hum
bred feet distant from the explosion.
The explosion was so loud that it was
heard for radius of two miles, while
hundreds of windows were broken.
One of the features of the explosion
was the simultaneous ringing in of a
false fire alarm from a box mile
away from the scene.
The police believe that the bomb
-thrower had an accomplice who turn
ed in this alarm in order to divert
the attention of the police and fire de-
partments from the neighborhood
chosen for the explosion.
No one was killed in the house.
which was badly damaged. but sew
eral persons within were thrown from
their beds and injured.
That black hand activities furnished
a motive for the explosion was the po-
lics deduction when they les~ 80

house until a week ago. had received

FUNDS RUN LOW.
City Finds Itself in Sore Finan-
cial Straits.
May Be Necessary to Shut Down
CrematOry.
NEARLY HALF SPENT.
Garbage Officials Have Been
Too ExtraVagant.
Only $40 Left in Entire 1911
Coal Fund.
NEARLY HALF SPENT.

Through the poor management of
SOMEONE connected with the last city
administration. it may be necessary to
shut down the city garbage plant or
run it only a few days in the week. 1t
has been found that the budget made
by the commissioners for the mainten-
ance of the crematory was either
small or the officials in charge of the
plant were too extravagant-at least
nearly half of the entire amount levied
for the year 1911 has been spent in the
last months.
When the city commissioners made
out their budget last December they
figured that $7.645 would maintain
the garbage plant for the year. Three
months have passed and $3,429 have
been spent. Only $4.215 remains to
run the plant in the remaining nine
months.
The largest expenditure has been
for coal. 1t was figured by the com
missioner in charge that the plant
would burn $225 in coal in the year.
Up to date the crematory has con-
sumed S176 worth of coal and only
s49 remains in the fund. For the
maintenance of the garbage plant $40
will not last more than two weeks.
It has been found also that in the
management of the public buildings
only $3.50 remains in the fund. The
budget called for S2.OOn and $1.24S
has been spent. The salaries of the
two firemen and the custodian alone
will take much more money than IS
left in the fund.
OF the half of the entire budget that
remains in the fund is $S.4S0 to be
spent on park maintenance and $5.46O
for sanitary purposes. This was trim
med down to the actual salary and
needed expenses and it vii, be almost
impossible for the commissioners to
use part of this fund for payment on
crematory and public building short
ages.
Then there is $1.577 in music
fund that has not been touched. This
IS for band concerts.
In other words. the city commits
sioner of parks and public buildings.
z. 3. Stotts, has more than job to
keep his departments intact in the
next nine months.
The original levy for the depart
ments of sanitation and public build
ings was $30,942. OF this amount
S1O.447 has been spent. There re-
mains $20,495. All this money was
estimated to cover only actual main
tenance expenses. 1t was decided to
cut out park Improvements.
Truly. Commissioner Stotts may be
classed as f1nancier If he is able to
tide over his departments for the year
