INSANE MAN SHOOTS
JUDGE AND OFFICERS
Were Coat Of Mail and Car
ried Gun, Knives, Sword
and Hatchet

Hammond, Ind, Dee. 5.-Angered be-
cause Judge Charles E. Greenwald
ordered him from the courtroom here
Michael Innik, age 40, insane, shot the
judge, Louis DeoBw, bailiff and George
Robbins, juror, as they were leaving
the courtroom late today. None was
dangerously injured.
Innik had entered the court earlier
in the day with a petition he had car.
ried for years since he was injured at
the Standard Oil company plant here.
He was adjudged insane following the
injury and claimed he was unjustly
treated in court. He frequently ap-
peared with petitions, but no notice
was taken of him.
Innik was found to be wearing a
complete coat of mail under his street
clothes. When arrested he was carry
ing veritable arsenal, including four
revolvers, a hatchet, a sword, q dirk
knife and l55 rounds of ammunition.
Innik received $500 damages for
the injury, but the two ciphers after
the decimal on the check led him to
believe he should have $150,000 instead
of $500 and he would not take less
for the check. II is still uneashed.

SW|NDLER OF WOMEN
IN FEDERAL COURT
Man Who Made Love to
Woman and Got Their
Money, Faces Trial

Chicago, Dec. j.-Federal Judge Ian.
dis at 1l:30 "a. m. today issued bench
warrant and ordered Charles II. Wax
brought before him Immediately. Wax
is wanted in New York for being the
"Oliver Osborne" involved in the Rae
Tanzer charges. 1t was expected that
he will order Wax taken to New York
under 900 bond as a material witness
in the Osborne case.
Wax was to be held in the United
States marshal's office until Federal
Judge Lands resumed the bench at
p. M. While waiting to be arraigned
Wax chatted freely with deputies and
showed no signs of worry over his ar
rest. He wore a neat gray suit and was
closely shaven.
Wax's arrest was the result of two
"tips' following the scattering Of co.
900 circulars throughout the North
American continent.
A woman writing from Panama gave
the clew by which officers tracked
Wax through II towns in Michigan
and nabbed him in his apartments here.
She wrote that the picture on the cir
cular was that of man who ha d
flirted with her in a Chicago depart.
ment store. A man in New York iden.
titled the picture as that of man who
had been sentenced to one year at
Blackwell's 3 Island for swindling wo-
man out of 800.
1t was Wax's handwriting found in
trunk full of passionate love letters
he had written and left unmailed to
the scores of his women acquaintance
that enabled the police to identify him
as the probable writer of the letters
which Miss Rae Tanzer testified, were
written by James w. Osborne, whom
she was sueing for $4,000.
Police today said that Wax has a
trail of prison sentences, practically all
imposed for swindling women.
Leaving the United States army in
1901 after serving in the Philippines,
Wax was convicted of swindling a
nurse and served n year in the peni.
tcntiary at San Quentin, Cal, according
to the police.
After his releases he travelled all
along the Pacific coast, and leaving q
trail of broken hearts and overdrawn
bank accounts among the scores of wo.
men he met and won. In 1910 he
served short indeterminate sentence
in Walla Walla, Wash, for swindling a
woman, the police say. The following
year he served year at Blackwells
Island for duping a woman in New
York.
Returning to the Pacific Coast Wax
played his game and found numerous
victims. In 1913 he was sentenced to
five years in the Salem, Oregon, peni'
tentiary and escaped after having
served two years.
II was because he feared he would
be taken back to serve the remainder
of the sentence that Wax fled from
New York after telling Osborne that
he was the real "OliNer Osborne"
Wax was fired from his job as head
ianitor at II large department store
here a few weeks ago because of in
timacv with women, the manager
stated today.
Wax is believed TO have at least
four wives, two of which live in New
York. One of these was known as
Ethel S. Brooks before her marriage
Another wife lives in Seattle, Wash
ington, it is said. He was living with
a fourth under the name of Frank
Burke when arrested here.
A charge of swindling four women
out of $4,000 is said to be awaiting
Wax's return to New York.

Long Distance Prophet
Is Called by Death

The Rev. Irl h. Hicks, of st. Louis,
who has long been known as the
lono distance weather forecaster, has
been called to his reward. after stu
dious and lahorious life of real service
to the country. He was not a conven-
tional scientist, and was therefore 1eer-
ed at and heckled, and all manner OF
fun was made of him. He had theory
in which he firmly believed, and which
enabled him to anticipate and predict
atmospheric and seismic pcrturbatlons.
The government being controlled by
the conventional scientists, would never
give him the recognition and. encour-
agement which he desired, and when
many believed he merited. His cal
culations wero made and prepared for
the printers probably six months be-
fore the beginning of the year covered
by his predictions, vet he made many
marvellous prophecies which put to
shame the weather bureau and the
scientists that had such contempt for
him. One notable instance is well with
in the memory of most people. On
March 3. 1909, the government weather
bureau predicted fair weather for
Taft's inaugural on the following day.
Rev. Hicks almanac, that was prepared
perhaps the previous August or Sep
tember, predicted the biggest snow
storms OF the winter for Washington
on March 4. His prediction was abund
antly vindicated, as those VIII osuffered
from the effects of the storm remember
to their sorrow. The weather bureau
had fallen down miserably, and trag-
ically for many people, and the un-
scientific and unconventional preacher,
who was ignored, put the great machin-
ery of the government weather bureau
TO shame.

Market Strengthened by

New York, Dec. 5.-The New York
Evening sun financial review today
said:
The stock market did little more
than hang fire while Wall Street was
digcsting the president IS message to
congress. Pretty much all that the
president had to say had been largely
discounted.
However, it may be stated that the
money situation was the dominating
factor in the stock market. The prices
ebbed and flowed bit lazily through
out most Of the session, with gains and
losses very nearly balancing each other
save in the case of certain specialties.
Following the publication of the full

was some good trading in stocks, bear

Back to the Farm.

1t is gratifying to learn from
real estate men in different sec
tons of the country that there
is at last pronounced move
ment back TO the farm. They
report large numbers Of city
men OF moderate means pur-
chasing farms aud moving
their families to them to escape
the burdens of the present high

This is commendable and all
right as far as it goes, but the
movement is no, general
enough. And then i. is not
owners that are needed on the
farms, but workers.
For several decades past now
there has been a rapid exodus
from she farm, until in many
sections of the country it is al
most impossible to secure farm
help at any price. This has
had the inevitable result of cur
failing the output of the farms,
