OFFERS OUTPUT
TO The PRESIDENT
Take Hays to
Toledo For Trial
Post Office Robber Taken in Kenosha
Valves Examination in Chicago
Court on Saturday.

Harry B. Hays, arrested in Kenosha
two weeks ago on charges of robbing
twenty post offices in different parts
OF the country, is now at Toledo, Ohio,
awaiting trial in the Federal Court
there. He is charged with robbing the
post Office at Strykre, Ohio, and the
facts in connection with the case will
be laid before the United States Court
for the northern district of Ohio on
Tuesday. Hays when arraigned in
Chicago waived examination and de-
clared his willingness to plead guilty
but he was told that his case would
be transferred to its proper jurisdic-
tion. The federal officials have care
fully traced the movements of Hays
during the past year, following his
confession, and they are now weaving
web of guilt about several men and
women who were connected with him
in the robbery of post offices and
banks. It is expected that further
arrests will be made in the case before
the end of the week.

That the demands of the United
States government in case of war, are
to be paramount with Kenosha as we'll
as every part of the country, found
expression today when President Will
son was offered the entire output of
the Black Cat Textiles Company at
the plant of the Chicago -Kenosha
Hosiery Company in Kenosha and the
Cooper Manufacturing Company at
Bennington, vt. With the report that
war might be declared at any minute
and with a view of placing all the re-
sources of a great company behind the
defense Of the nation, the Black Cat
Textiles Company this morning sent
to the president the following telegram
President Woodrow Wilson,
Washington D. G.
Our mills are at. the govern
ment's command, if needed and
Immediately upon your request
you can have our entire monthly
output of one million pairs of
hose from the Kenosha factories
and a quarter of a million suits
Of men s underwear from our
Bennington, Vermont, mills.
Black Cat Textiles Co.
The offer of the great plants of the
company to the government is made
on the demand of Chester G. Allen,
the president of the company, who has
on many occasions shown his willing
ness to put patriotism before business.
The offer of the plants means, that
for the purpose of preparing for the
proper equipping of the United States
army first, the company is willing to
take the chance of having customers
who have been served for more than a
quarter Of a century, wait until after
the demands of the nation have been
fully supplied. The offer of the out
put of the plant to the President will
go a long way toward solving one of
the big problems Of providing proper
equipment for the army and navy.
With the present condition of the
textile industry it would be decidedly
hard for big orders from the govern
ment to be taken care of.
There is little doubt but that the
United States government will imme-
diately. avail itself of the opportunity
to insure the delivery Of supplies for
the army and navy. On Wednesday
the President formally accepted the
offer of Henry Ford to allow the gov
ernment to take the entire output in
his plant in case of war and it is ex-
pected that the same plan will be fol-
lowed in the offer made by the Kenosha
company. No other company in
the United States could offer to
the government so large an output of
hosiery and underwear.
In case of war it is certain that
other patriotic manufacturers of Ke-
nosha will follow the lead Of the Black
Cat company and offer the entire out
put of plants for the national defense.

BUYS NEW EQUIPMENT.
North Western Places Order for Sew
entySeven New Engines and
Other Equipment.

The Chicago and North Western was
authorized to issue trust certificates to
the amount of $10,000,0O0 under it's
trust equipment agreement in an order
issued today by the state public utili-
ties commission, which also authorized
the railroad to issue additional certif-
Gates to the amount of 100000 over
and above the $4,000, 900. Of the
$10,000,000 issue authorized $4,25O,000
will be issued at once for the purchase
of n locomotives, of which IL are to
be of class E passenger and rs Of class
j Mikado, 25 of class MI switch en-
gines, and ~gondola cars and 500
woods box cars. The additional $780,
600 authorized is to be used in the pur-
chase Of 20 class Mikado locomo-
tives, the largest made, at cost of
$4,000 each.
This is one of the largest orders for
locomotives the North Western road
ever has given, although smaller orders
have been given from time to time
The older engines are wearing out from
time to time and as fast as they do
they are "scrapped" and powerful
new engines take their place.
The latest order of engines by the
road provides for some of the largest
and most powerful engines made
Some of these, it is said, will be trans
ferred to the local run. Some of the
new switch engines probably will be
placed in the local yards.

The patriotism of the railway com
pany must have been just little of
the fingers crossed kind. Now there
is an insistent demand that they be
permitted to raise rates. to make pos
sible the increase in wages. At that,
the fair minded man could be led to
believe that the demand of the rail.
way companies has a lot of justice in
it. AS we said before, some one must
pay to keep peace.

sTEINBACH GOES FREE.
Jury Brings in a Verdict of ''Not
Guilty After Twenty Three Hours
Consideration of the Evidence.

CONSIDERATION OF the 6V1Qence.
J. J.. Steinbach of Evanston, charged
with arson in connection with the
burning of the Lawler ice houses,
walked out of the Circuit Court room
free man just after two O'Clock this
afternoon after one of the hardest
fought battles in the jury room ever
known in this county. The case went
to the jury at three, clock Wednes-
dav afternoon and after ranging most
of the night the tired jurors came into
court this morning and solemnly de-
clared that they were so hopelessly
divided that they could never agree.
Judge Belden sent them right back to
the jury box and not a word was heard
from them again until the verdict was
reached just after two 'clock. Stein
bach and the members of his family
were greatly rejoiced. 1t had been
expected that the case would end in
a disagreement of the jury.
