THINK HOLDUP MEN ARE TAKEN
Merchants Patrolman Gas kin and Bradley Arrest
 Two Young Men Answer ing Description of Assail- ants of Conductor Steele.

Tn the arrest of Ed Perry, said to be from San Diego, and Earl Simnis, who claims to have been living in Phoenix for two months, Merchants Patrolmen Harry Gaskin and William Bradley probably have to their credit the apprehension of the two young men who attempted to hold up Con- ductor w. c. Steele of the Santa Fe on Sunday night, at Thirteenth ave- nue and Washington street. The men arrested last night by GaSl1in and Bradley and lodged in the coun- ty jail answer fully the description given by Steele of the men who pointed a gun at him and ordered him to throw up his hands, Instead of complying with their demands, Steele backed into the street and under the glare of an electric arc light. The would-be holdup men did not have the courage to come out where they could be plainly seen, and beat a nasty retreat. warning Steele that they would kill him if he attempted to follow.
 It was about ten o'clock last night that Gaskin and Bradley, who had been given descriptions of the men who confronted Steele, saw Perry and Simnis standing in front of Vie Hanny's on North Central avenue, and evidently watching somebody in the American Kitchen. Their actions reused the officers suspicious and these suspicious were strengthened when a piece of rubber hose was seen protruding from the vest of one of the men.
 Gaskin and Bradley, prepared for any resistance that might be offered, accosted the men and promptly searched them. Each was found to be carrying piece of rubber hose more than a foot long and loaded with lead The hose was hidden in their clothes in such a manner that while concealed it could be easily brought into play. In the hip pocket of Perry was found a dark brown hat, although Perry was wearing a light colored cap at the time.
 Neither of the young men could give a satisfactory explanation of their reason for carrying the hose, which would have proven an eff fective weapon. They denied having been the perpetrators of the attempt ed hoIdup of Sunday night As Con ductor Steele was out of town last night on his regular run to Ash Fork it was impossible to secure Identification from him. Both men were locked up pending an investi- gation.
 Perry at first claimed that he was employed at the St. Luke's Home, and later admitted that he had been there but a short time and that he lost his position some time ago. He said that he had been in the habit of carrying the hose, but Simnis stated when alone that he had found the hose he was carrying. Neither of the men seemed to be able to give an accurate account of their doings for the past few days and nights and the officers are convinced that they have secured the apprehen- sion of the men wanted for the at tack on Steele

LEWIS ATTACKED.
Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. .13.-Representa-
tive Ashton, democrat of Chicago,
made statement today explaining his
charges Of yesterday wherein he at
tackled Colonel Lewis, candidate for
the senate. for accepting $1,000 from
H. NJ. Byllesby for his primary cam
paign. Describing Byllesby, Mr..
Ashton said:
HE is head of the firm Of the Byiles-
| by company of Chicago. He is GLASS
flied as an engineer, but he and his
friends are organizers of holding COM
panies for several hundred waterpow-
er electric light companies in the
United States, chiefly in the west and
| south.
CITES WILSON POLICY.
Does Mr.. Lewis know Of the pro-
gressive policy declared by President
Wilson, in the matter of the conserva-
ton of natural resources? If he does
is 1t not strange that we should see
him associated with Byllesby, who
is directly Interested in securing priv
ileges in government land that make
impossible the carrying out of the pol
icy Of Wilson? Has Lewis forgotten
he was the choice Of the people in
April last?
Jan. 90 Lewis addressed the Chi
cago Traffic club and depicted what he
considered to be a dreadful state of
affairs by reason of the fact that the
government interfered too much with
business?
NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF STATE.
Lewis stated $4,000 individuals
served as spies, detectives. investiga-
tors, watchers, decoys, betrayers, ST.
lent accusers and secret slanderers OF
everything that pertains to the citi-
zens of America. Lewis deplores the
fact that the nation has forgotten the
doctrine of state sovereignty and that
business is regulated to the point con
fscation. Taking this language seri
ously, l submit that Lewis does not
represent the intelligence of Illinois.
