SMOKE-HOUSE THIEF
is NEARLY SUFFOCATED

When Charles Schmidt, butcher n
No. 1866 Michigan-ave.,. heard sus'
picious noise In his smoke house, n
midnight. Thursday. he called two
roomers In his home, to guard the
smoke house and see that NO prowler
left. while he went to get police
man. f
The two guards performed their
duty splendidly. They rushed the
place. and locked the door: then
mounted guard.
Schmidt was absent for nearly Q
quarter Of an hour. before he re
turned with an oflcer. Then the door
was opened. and out staggered Theo
dore Zielinski, more dead than alive
He had narrowly escaped suffocation
Zielinski was equipped like q ship
wrecked sailor. Around his waist he
had tied q dozen stockings. stolen
from some nearby colthes line. Each
stocking was filled with sausages
Around his neck. two hams were
strung.
Zielinski was just about to make
his getaway when the door clicked
and he was held prisoner In tbs
smoke-nIled shed
He was arraigned before Justict
Stein. Friday, on a charge or simple
larceny, and will have his examina
ton Feb. %. He says he came from
Cleveland. two days ago. and was out
OF Job, and hungry.

George Carson. alias George Foster,
81 years old. OF Cincinnati, and VII
liam Henry, alias william Watts. alias
"Moon-eye." "a years old. OF Danville.
Ill, said to be two of7the best known
piekpockets I'm this part OF the coun-
try. were given until O'Clock, Friday
afternoon. to get out OF the city.
When they faced Judge Connolly. Fri
day noon. II they linger here after
2 o'clock. they must pay fines Of $500

WANTS PEOPLE TO
CHOOSE RY. BOARD
Aid. Schultz Would Make Com.
missioners Directly Respon-
sible To the Public

Aid. Herman schultx believes that
the members Of the municipal railway
commission should be elected by the
people instead OF being appointed BY
the mayor.
THAT II . highly important com
mission and the people ought to have
something to say about It's member
ship" said Aid. Schultz. III the com
missionsrs were elected they would
be directly responsible to the people.
! believe there are plenty Of big busi.
ness men who would be willing to
rum"
Aid. sohultx is not satisfied with
the present commissions proposition
70 take oyer the bonds OF the ID. u.
r. He thinks that Il would be better
business for the city to construct
system OF Its own.
1T II q question In my mind II II
is good business to take over con
Germ head over heels In debt" he
said. IL doubt II Mr.. Couxens or Mr.
Dodge would think OF doing that In
their private businesses. The city
ought 10 be able to build an up-to-date
and adequate system for el7.000.00
SO why pay $25.000,000 for the d. u
r. property? Their tracks are not In
good condition and we constantly
kick on the cars. II the city takes
over the system, the people will ex
pect better service all the way
around. II will cost money to put
the ID. u. r. system In shape"
