Building Motor Car.

There are many little details concern

News Tribune.
Let us say that the building of the
car begins with the motor tt Is inc

a number OF grooves, or that there are

3 CHICAGO HOTELS
IN PERIL IN A FIRE

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Fire In the

company building, in the rear of
three hotels at North Clark and Kin

guests to fee from the rooms. The
loss is $4,000. None of the hotels
was touched by the flames.
Ole Olson, an actor, who was
sleeping in one of the hotels, thought
when he saw the flames his hotel was
on fire. He promptly threw his suit
case and trunk out of a second story
window and was standing on ledge
preparing to leap when a policeman
apprised him he was in no danger.

HIS BANKING SYSTEM
Holds 1t a Disgrace to Civiliza-
tion and at Bottom Of Our
PaniCS.

Washington. Jan 1o.-Andrew Car
negie was a witness today before the
house committee investigating the
United States steel corporation. Car
negie was wanted to elucidate many
details OF the organization and opera
ton of the "Steel trust"
Carnegie once expressed a willing
ness 10 appear but recently declined
on the ground that he was one of the
defendents in the government suit
against the steel corporation. He then
was peremptorily summoned.
HARD TO INTEREST CAPITAL.
Carnegie furnished the committee
q statement OF the steel industry con-
ditions and told his career in the bus
mess from the outset. He had hard
time interesting capital at the start,
but did not know exactly the com
panys capitalization in the cos,
though he admitted II exceeded half
million. Carnegie considered the
American banking system disgrace
TO civilization" and declared panics
were due 10 THIS system.
BILL WILL STOP PANICs.
"Panics spread ruin and if the bill
now before congress is passed you
will have something to prevent. such
panics," he said.
SEES BU UsINESS INJURY.
Carnegie, in his statement filed with
the committee. criticised the Sherman
law. pointed out where, from his point
of view. business was impaired in GER
tain fields by enforcement Of that law,
hut expressed a belief that a satisfac.
tory measure will be evolyed-one
which will not go further than actu
ally necessary TO prevent restraint oi
trade and monopoly.
REVOLUTION NOT NEEDED.
Nothing revolutionary is required
he said. He added that there is nc
cause al present for either alarm OF

WEBSTER'S PLEA
TO Save HIS LIFE
Physician Charged With Wife
Murder to Throw Himself
on Mercy of Court.
is TO CLEAR UP DETAILS
Prosecutor Contends, However, That
No Bargain Has Been Made
With Prisoner.

Oregon, ILL.,, Jan. 10.-Doctor
Webster refused today to discuss the
announcement he would plead guilty
Friday to the murder of Bessie Kent
Webster. He is not preparing de-
tailed confession. Webster seemed
hopeful he will escape with life sem
tence.
Chicago, Jan. 10.-Dr. Harry FL
gin Webster, about to go to trial as
the murderer of his third wife, Bes-
sic Kent Webster, has decided to
throw himself upon the mercy of
the court by pleading guilty.
The physician will be taken before
Judge R. S. Farrand at Oregon, ILL.,,
Friday morning, when he will
change his former plea Of not guilty
to guilty. This action was decided
on a conference of his lawyers at
Sterling a week ago.
AS a result of this move it is al
most certain that the accused man
will escape with a life term in the
penitentiary. A death sentence af-
ter a plea of guilty is almost with
out precedent in Illinois. States At
torney w. J. Emerson of Ogle coun-
| ty contends, however, that no bar
gain has been made with the pris,
oner and that his fate will be decided
solely by the trial judge.
INTEREST IN STATEMENT.
But the greatest interest centers
about a statement that Webster i;
expected to make when he appears
in court. There are numerous
points in the confession which ht
made in Chicago before being takeI
to the Jail in Ogle county that dC
not agree with known facts. 1t II
believed, for instance, that he hat
an accomplieey-who- manipulated
yellow-wheeled automobile, takinl
him to and from the scene of tn,
murder the day Mrs. Webster wa
shot and her body concealed in tn,
woods near Dixon, Ill.
i 1t is expected that the prisone
will make a final statement in whicl
he will clear up these details whel
he faces the court for the last time
SEQUEL TO BRUTAL MURDER.
J Websters plea of guilty will
mark the conclusion of the fina
chapter in what is considered on
: of the most brutal murders in tn
history of the state. The young ply
!, sician, who had two wives and ha
used two names, decided to star
| life anew with his second wife, Mrs
Zoe Varney Webster, by murderin
his other wife.
So he enticed his victim to Dixor
where he took her to a thick WOO
that had been his boyhood play
? ground and, after beating her int
, insensibility with a suitcase, she
her. He then left her nude body
a thicket, concealed by leaves. Th
