THREE CHICAGO MEN~KILLED
IN AUTo-TRAlN SMASH


Springfield, ILL.,, June 1o-Four
men who had met in Springfield for
the purpose of helping to defeat the
eight-hour law met their death in
an auto accident last night and were
so horribly mutilated that Identified
ton was almost impossible.
Three of them were from Chicago
John Gauer in the dry goods bust
ness at Webster and Racine avenues,
R. ]. Carroll in the dry goods bust
ness at $50 Milwaukee avenue, and
E. Iverson of the Iverson Merchan-
disc Company, $50 Milwaukee ave-
nue.. The fourth victim was George
Bartel, son of M. ]. Bartel, a mer-
chant in Springfield.
The Chicago men were three of
the thirty merchants who arrived in
Springfield in high spirits hoping to
block the passage of the fifty-four-
hour law. Richard Carroll was the
leader of these merchants and presi-
dent of the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation of Chicago H. T. Gauer was
treasurer OF that association. H. b.
Iverson was president of the North
west Side Commercial Association.
The four men started in an auto
mobile to visit cousin of H. T.
Gauer-Leonard Vennemann-and
it is believed that the party failed to
notice the approach of an inbound
Wabash train as they crossed the
track, and that Bartel, who was driv-
ing, either killed his engine on the
track, or that it died, stopping the
car.
Death came instantly to the Chi
cago men. Bartel was unconscious
and died shortly after being taken to
the st. Johns Hospital.
The headquarter rooms of thirty
of the Chicago merchants at the st.
Nicholas Hotel were draped in black
last night and the luncheon of the

THIS WOMAN OUT IN COURT
East ST. Louis, ILL.,, June 11.-City
Attorney Thomas Fekete sat down in
the prisoners chair as a joke, and
Assistant States Attorney Gustin
shook his finger in Fekete's face and
shouted:
81 thought 1 gave you two hours
to get out of town. Get out quick or
III send you to BelleVille. Under
stand?"
Pretending to cringe, Fekete
whined: ''How can get out of
town; only have two cents"
One of two young women sitting
near waiting trial leaned over to him
sympatheticaIly, took a 81 bill out of
her pocketbook and pressed it in his
hand, while she whispered:
'Here, take this and beat it. IhaVe
been in BeneVille.'
Court was called to order and
Fekete returned the money, but
somehow the city attorney did not
prosecute the women as vigorously
as he had intended.

heard his voice from the top OF the wooden
belfry, situated Squarely above the central
part of the roof.

Again and again the Americans fired,
and their rifles were aimed with admira-

enemy.
They're working to the right" cried the
boy on the belfry.
And the soldiers on the ground fired ac-
cordingy.
Captain Pollard then ordered his men to
advance at double quick; which they did
loading and firing as they ran. Eager to be
in the fray, even the guard followed the
dauntlcsS Captain.
And, seeing the Americans leave it, half
a hundred dark forms stole into the building;
and each carried an oil-soaked bundle OF
cogrd or tree cotton. As a single man, they
lighted the in1ammable stuff, and in few
seconds the thatching became roaring mass
of flames.
Stowell saw it; but his attention was
turned toward the fight He was still CRYING
out to his company the direction in which
to fire, as they were not yet out of the tall
grass.
Then bullets began to sing their death
songs about the little trumpeter: the light
of the fire made him splendid target. But
he did not mind, it seemed; he still cried
out to his Captain from his place of vantage:
Perhaps he wanted to redeem himself. Still
it was with glad heart that he noted that

GUESS III tell her that the house is
sold out for next Wednesday, said the
boxotliCe manager Of an uptown theater,
after he had read the following letter from
feminine applicant for two tickets:
MY DEAR SIR.-Will you kindly let me
know by return mail or by telephone If you
have any good seats for next Wednesday S
matinee at your theater: By good seats do
not mean the most expensive; for | really
think that some Of the best of the medium
priced seats are often better than the poor
est Of the higher-prced seats.
Then. again. | never care TO pay two
dollars for the last row OF tWo-dollar seats,
because there is so little difference between
the first row Of the dollar-and-a-halt seats
and the last row OF the two-dollar seats that
had lust as soon have the dolar-tlfty
seats as the two-dollar seats. OF course it IS
different if YOU get the best Of the two
dollar seats. | have had dollar seats that
were quite satisfactory; but. as | want this
time 20 bring with me friend who Is making
me a little visit. who lives IN a small country
town in which she never sees good play,

seats for us as it will be the only time she can

gagcments for the other two evenings she IS
20 be in the city.

cause am apt to have a headache II ! sit
too near the orchestra, and then | think that
if YOU sit too near the orchestra you see 50
much Of the makeup Of the players that It
takes away much of the realism. | think
YOU know what | mean.
And yet do not want seats too tar back,
because my friend am to bring with me has
slightly defective eyesight. Indeed, the
chief reason of her visit to the city is to have
her eyes examined, and she has already seen
an excellent oculist who is going to INT her
with glasses and thinks that with care her
eyesght will at least not get any worse than
il is. She is a little far sighted, and for that
reason | must have seats suited 10 eyes OF
that kind; while | am Just trifie near
sighted, and that is another reason why do
not wish TO sit too near the stage.
The first row in the first gallery is al
ways a good place 70 sit, If one can get
seats in or near the center; but the last
time-no, the next to the last time-l
went TO the theater we had the last seats
at the end of the first row in the first gall

Princeton Boy and Girl Bride Take Poison;
Beg to Die When Surgeons Try to Save Them

Following this threat the father is
alleged to have seized the only bag
gage which the d couple had, two
dress suit cases, and to have stopped
the honoring Of further drafts on a
bank In Jersey City.
The father. 1t is said, Is wealthy
and lives in Los Angeles. and when
the news Of his sons romantic mar.
riage to Miss Barbara Ackerman OF
Brooklyn reached his ears. he hur-
ried east, determined to have the
marriage set aside.
After an interview at the Hotel
Paramount In Jersey City at which
time the boy II believed TO have told
his father that he would rather die
than be separated from his young
wife, he tearfully broke the news to
her Of his fathers anger.
The boy, however. assured the girl
he would earn iivlns forssb both. and

Bride Purchascs Poison.

After the meal the two went to q
drug store, where the bride purchased
a bottle OF bichloride Of mercury
tablets and insisted that each tablet
be Of seven and a half grains. No
questions were asked her. Then the
two hurried to the home of the
brides sister, Mrs. Fred Metz. where.
in the absence Of Mrs. Metz. they de-
stroyed every picture Of themselves
at that address.
h During the remainder Of the night
and all the next day the two roamed
through the woods adjoining Tenafly
and Englewood.
At $3.50, yesterday morning they ap-
peared in the doorway Of Tenahy

Neuberger was heart-broken when
the engagement was announced. 1t
seemed to put a damper on his am
bitions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Netcher were happy.
Mixed with the JOY Of their domestic
life was the thrill of building into
greatness one of Chicago's largest
business institutions. Netcher in due
| course became the sole proprietor,
giving all the credit to his wife. Then
she persuaded him to go into real es.
tate. He did SO, and soon became a
multi-millionaire.
Nine years ago Netcher died, and
his wife plunged into business more
deeply than ever. Her success then
husband and wife had been during his
lifetime. She began to be called "the
worlds most brilliant business wo-
! man."

ton Of the stories that the sugar
interests maintained a paid lobby
to influence legislation came with
the testimony Of A. d. Baldwin of

that he had been in Washington

Half a dozen other men were get

His "duty" consisted of person.

Still, he did not think that he
ought to be called a lobbyist.
