because the fact was noted that he
had predicted the present hot wave
In letter to the Chicago Record Her
aid Nav 8 he had forecasted as fol
lows:
ION May "a, 1911, a sultry, hot wave
will cause Professor Cox in his high
weather bureau tower, notwithstand-
ing his usual control of the lake
breezes, to swelter and get hot under
the collar, with thousands of others
in Illinois and adjoining states.
This hot wave will be the forerun-
ner of the 'low" which the weather
bureau chief at Washington will be
compelled to mark on the weather bu-
reau maps as emerging from Canada
into the northwestern states on May
21-22.
This low, with another forming
a dumb-bell, approaching from the
southwest, will produce along its path
way heavy rains with fierce thunder

While the forecast does not provide
for the continuation of the hot wave
as long as it seems bent upon remain

NECRESS MAKES
LOVE TO OFFICER
Captain James Reynolds Mis-
taken for a Tenderfoot by
a Husky Amazon.
SEES HIS STAR AND CAVES
Two Colored Street Walkers Are
Arrested and Fined for Dis
orderly Conduct.

Following several complaints to
the effect that colored women were
approaching pedestrians in the vi
cinity of Twenty-fourth street and
were robbing and making indecent
proposals, Captain James Reynolds
and officers Sehnert and Kinney last
night paid a visit to the neighbor-
hood. Captain Reynolds saw one Of
the women and walked towards her.
She spoke to him and then put her
arms around him. The captain sum-
moned the officers and they escorted
her to the station. The captain con-
tinued the hunt for the other wo-
man and was soon rewarded when
he met her. She became rather
friendly and while trying to find if
the captain wore a scarf pin which
she might appropriate, ran across
his star. There was hurry to make
a getaway, which was unsuccessful.
And so Emma st. Clair and Daisy
Shannon, two dusky and husky anna
IONS, spent the night in Jail. This
morning they were given a hearing
before Police Magistrate c. j.
Smith, who found them guilty of the
charge of disorderly conduct. He
fined them each $40 and costs. Sew
eral complaints have been received
by police from men who claim that
they were accosted by colored wo-
men while walking along the streets
and in some instances robbery is
charged. The women were ordered

ANOTHER PAIR TAKEN.
Charles Hobson and Maggie Al
len, both of whom are colored were
arrested last night by Captain Rey-
nolds and officers Herman Sehnert,
Dennis Mccarthy and John Kinney
for disorderly conduct. The arrest
occurred in the home of the pair at
1904 Fourth avenue. The officers
were searching for another woman
who had caused complaint. The
pair had lived together for two years
as man and wife according to their
own stories. Hobson at first declar-
ed that they were married, as did
the woman, but when they were sep
arated and asked as to particulars of
marriage, they faltered and finally
admitted that they were not man and
wife. They admitted the guilt of
disorderly conduct and each was fin
ed $40 and costs.

Both of Klugers boys testified fer

morning. But George did so only aft.

of going TO prison himself unless he
would repeat his testimony told in the
first trial. Fred on that occasion re-
fused 10 testify, but this time he went
on the stand for the state and made 4
clean breast of the whole story, which
was enough in itself TO convict his
father and Slocum. The defense put
but one witness on the stand in the
