IE HEARsT's EMPLOYEES

William Randolph Hearst, the
newspaper magnate, figured in Chi
cago's news three times yesterday.
One of his circulation slugers was
hailed into court for beating a news
boy and his American and Examiner
we're both sued because his fender
less auto trucks hurt two women.
The Hearst emplOye who used his
knuCkles in an effort to increase cir
culation for the New York million
aire is Earl Freeman, 1854 w. Van
Buren, st. He is the Evanston boss
for the Examiner.
When Sam Kampanola, a newsbOy
at Davis st. and the elevated road
in Evanston, refused to take more
Examiners than he could sell, Free
man picked up a child from the
neighbOrhOOd, gave him a bundle of
Examiners and put him in front of
Sans stand to sell them.
When Freeman came around few
hours later Sam told him he wouldn't
sell any more Examiners and to
prove it threw all of the Hearst pa
pers he had into the gutter.
Then he says Freeman with two
other Hearst huslies attacked and
beat him severely. He swore out a
warrant for the Examiner man. The
case was continued until April 25 in
the Evanston court.
The Hearst auto trucks also
brought woe to the man in Goth
am, who has more money than he
can count. And the reason Hearst
refused to support an ordinance
which would require tenders on the
auto trucks of big business also be-
came clear. He was injuring women
and children regularly with his own
fenderless motor trucks.
His papers kept very quiet while
the chief of police refused to enforce
an ordinance thrice passed by the
city council, just because the corpor-
alton coUnseIs office decided it was
not strong enough.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-04-20

She was severely hurt and confined
to her home for some time. Some Of
her hurts may prove permanently
disabling.
A fenderless auto truck of the Ex-
aminer, delivering papers for Hearst,
ran over Jenete Bowman, SO, of 1913
N. Clark st., at Ohio and Clark, on
Nov. 80, 1915.
She suffered injuries to her spinal
column and left eye. Her attorneys,
Lynn & Laramie in the Ashland
block, say that the spinal injuries will
affect her health for life. She sued
for $4,000.
On May Is Vim. Mehaffey of Kan
sas City got $4,000 verdict against
the American on an accident similar
to the ones the women figured in.
A fenderless auto truck, speeding
at 18th and HaIsted SITS, ran over
him. An arm and leg were broken.

FATHER SHOOTS DAUGHTER IN
QUARREL OVER MONEY
Binghamton, N. Y, April 20.-'I
am to blame. l bounded papa about
money matters until he couldn't
stand it.
Dying of bullet wounds inflicted by
her father, Alfred L. Sharpe, 55, for
merly of FL Paso, Tex, just before
he shot and killed himself, Miss HoI-
land Sharpe, Is, pretty society girl,
made this statement here today. She
was shot twice through the body last
night as she fled from Sharpe. He
then shot himself in the heart. %
A quarrel in the Sharpe home pre-
coded the shooting. She urged her
father to resign his trusteeship Of
the money Mrs. Sharpe had left her
so that a young San Antonio attor--
ney could be appointed. Sharpe re-
fused and drove her from the room
at the point of a revolver. She dash
ed up stairs. Just before reaching

Senator Chamberlain blamed Con
Sress for faulty equipment in the
army, for aeroplanes that would not
fly and machine guns that would not
shoot. THE aviation service is notori-
ous1y veak, he said. 1t is not the
fault of the army nor of the Aviation
Corps. hut is the fault of the Congress

provide proper equipment.
'Still. in the discussion later on the
floor of this Senate YOU will find dis
tinsuished senators protesting against
the appropriations and arguing that
the peoples money must not be spent
