JOHN DANES, ALLEGED--CHiEF
OF GANG, MAKES COMPLETE
CONFESSION.
WORKED IN MIDDLE WEST
Bio Batch Of Warrants Will be Sworn
Out for Business Men and In
surance Adjusters in
Chicago.

Chicago, March 1.-THE report that
John DANES, alleged to have been the,
chief of the so-called arson trust, had
made a confession was confirmed by;
First Assistant States Attorney Frank,
Johnston, according to whom DANES
named forty members Of the ring. in
Guiding the names of several men
higher up" DANES admitted that he
had set more than twenty fires in,
Chicago.
The confession is said to be even
more startling than that recently made,
by Benjamin Fink, who confessed COM
plicity in 100 incendiary fires. An
aggregate of 100000 in insurance wafs
collected from the DANES fires. ~
At least forty warrants for BUSINESS
men, public fire insurance adjustepsf
and actual incendiaries named by
DANES will be sworn out today The
confession was made after a seven
hour inquisition.
"The ramifications of the trust asl
described by DANES, are almost be-
yond belief" said Johnston. The.
gang appears to have worked in all
most every state in the middle west.
Arson was business. with them and
it was highly organized on scientific
basis DANES and Fink we're the chiefs
Of the firebugs although they did not,
belong to the same gang. Both mem
say they do not know each other ex-
cept by reputation"
In confessing to JOHNSON, DanieS
said: II tried to get out of the bust
ness, but people would not let me-
alone. They kept sending for me to
do jobs for them and kept on going
in the same old way for fifteen years.
My first experience with fires hap
pened in my own home and when q
settled for the insurance an adjuster
told me that l could make lots Of
money by setting incendiary fires.
That's how l got mixed up in this rot
ten stuff
DANES said that on several occa-
sions persons for whom he had set
fires defrauded him out of his share
Of the insurance money. He told Of
a 100000 fire at Cleveland about
year ago. He said that he was re-
tanned to start the blaze, but was
otherwise engaged and turned it over
to David Karshak, at present fugitive
from justice.

II have the woman" said de Reszke.
"She is young, she is beautiful, she is
graceful, and she has the voice Of an
inspired angel"
Lucille was retained. Strauss met
her in Vienna and introduced her to
Felix Weingartner. The rehearsals
began.
The conductor then was forty-five
years old. To musical Europe he was
known as 'the wandering genius" I'm
like most musiciaAs of talent, he had
never been content to settle down in
one of the various imperial orches-
tras, which are scattered over the con-
tinent. He had at one time been a
conductor Of the Berlin Opera Royal,
the kaiser's official company, but, fail
ing to adjust his musical convictions
to those of his royal patron, had un-
tremendously resigned. His posts,
as conductor, hsd ranged from vi
emma to Ney York. In 1905 the New
York Symphony paid him $4,000 to
conduct eight concerts. Prohibited by
royal decree from playing within 20
miles Of Berlin, ne had filed suit
against the kaiser for an annulment Of
the agreement which the German en-
peror declared still bound him to the
Berlin Opera Royal. The suit was
promptly decided against him, and he
gave series of concerts in a little
village just outside the limits set by
the emperor's decree. Some idea Of
his German popularity may be gained
from the fact that, despite their dis
lance from the capital. these concerts
were an immense financial success.
This was the man who was fated
to inspire love, for the first time, in
the heart of Lucille Marcel. With
each rehearsal of Strauss tremendous
opera their mutual interest grew deep
er. Their souls shook as the mad
gusts Of Elektra's death dance whirl-
ed them together through the wild
realms of nethermost harmony. Their
passion fed on the fierce flames of
the Strauss masterpiece. When Luz
ellie sang her voice, shrilling with the
rapture Of love and youth and hate
and desire, was not for the audience,
but for the lean, erect, leonine-fea-
tured man whose brain swayed the
harnessed passions of a hundred in
struments.
There could be but one result. They
fell in love, madly in love-a love SO
wild and engrossing that its existence
was perceptible in every word and
movement. Other members of tho
company began talking.
The gossip. spreading daily, soon
came to the ears Of the baroness.
Now, in Vienna, like Berlin, the az
fairs of the imperial orchestra are
guided, more or less directly, by the
hand of the court The baroness was
powerful In a short time 1t was
delicately suggested to the new prima
donna that she discourage Weingart-
ner in his attentions. The new prima
donna delicately told the suggestion
givers to mind their own business.
Thereupon they became insistent and
Marcel, furious at that which she con-
sidered an intrusion upon her private
affairs, resigned.
Vienna was outraged. 1t demanded
that she be reinstated. It denounced
the baroness, the archduchess, the
whole court. And at the height of
it's indignation, Weingartner brought
suit for divorce.
Then he resigned his post. It was
whispered that there was nothing else
for him to Go. The public was more
furious than ever against the edict,

NATIONAL ORGANIZATION TO
