HoYNE RAIDS WEST SIDE

TISIING INfAlDO VNGOI SIOE
In a sensational series of raids on
west side houses, States Attorney
Hoyne collected dozen prisoners
last night. They were. taken to va
rious police stations in taxicabs, and
after being questioned were in most
cases released.
Because the majority of the hous-
es raided were in the Maxwell st.
police district it is believed that he
intended picking up those who might
know something of the alleged graft
in that station.
In this neighborhood the burglar

PRE- : CHRISTMAS FEsTIvITlEsI I
FEW AT CALUMET

Calumet, Mich, Dec. "a. - There
were few pre-C Christmas festivities
in Calumet or the copper country to-
day. Memory of the awful disaster
of a year ago, when the lives of 73
persons were crushed out in wild
panic that followed false cry. of
fire during a miners Christmas eve
entertainment in Italian hall, Red
Jacket, served to bring the decision
for the elimination of all public cere-
mony this year. Not even memo
rial service for those who peFished
was planned and the local news
papers made no mention whatever of
the first anniversary of the great
calamity. The one purpose was to
forget.
But the memory fingers and is in
tensified by awful suffering among
many miners families for lack of
food and clothing. Poverty and de-
titution are widespread throughout
the copper country. Hundreds Of
miners who suffered throughout the
long copper strike and have never
been able to find employment since
are in dire need. Other hundreds are
the innocet victims of the curtaiT-
ment of the mining industry, made
necessary as result of the European
war. /

across to the Island. Eureka was
up to her elbows in work.
Next morning I drove up to the

met Van Brunt. He was in fine
spirits. The Tea Lead deal had
been closed up-the Street pirates
having decided not to pass the
dividend-an the Heavenly Twins
had made money by the key, l

1t seemed that Hartley senior

Martin didn't know of this until
the old gentleman, on his death

the plueky chap started In to save
the name. He arranged with the
creditors-this man who told me
the story was one of them-for
time, and set to work. He worked
nights and days and in his sleep,
guess. He had promised his
dad, for his mothers sake not to

creditor was pledged to secrecy.
Even his own mother didn't know
