TRIES TO SHOOT
ENTIRE FAMILY
James Mclaughlin Of Moline, Raises
Rumpus in Bluff Home When
Refused Admittance.
ROLE OF DISAPPOINTED LOVER
Cartridges in Revolver Fall to Explode
Because of Center Fire Make in
Rim Fire Gun.

James w. Mclaughlin, 1922 Seventh
avenue, Moline, was arrested last
night at the home of Mrs. Carrie Lind
strom, 4105 Fourteenth avenue, after
he had attempted to shoot up the en-
tire family and failed In his purpose
only after the cartridges in his gun
failed to explode.
The trouble followed the refusal OF
Mrs. Lindstrom to allow Mclaughlin to
enter the home to see Mrs. Nellie Stro-
berg, who has been the object OF his
attentions for some months. McLaugh-
lin fought his way into the home and
then furious with anger, drew the re-
volver. The cartridges failed to ex-
plode for the reason that he was US
ing center fire bullets in rim fire
gun.
Mclaughlin and the stroberg woman
have been friends for some time and he
had called frequently at the Lind
strom home. OF late, however, Mrs.
Lindstrom claimed to have learned
that Mclaughlin was not man of
good character and forbade him to
enter the home. Last night he came
to the house and demanded to be adj
mitted. He pushed his way past Mrs.
Lindstrom into the house. Mrs. Lind
strom's son met him inside the room
and the two grappled. Mclaughlin
drew revolver and cursing,
pulled the trigger three times, hav-
ing the weapon pointed at his
opponents head. Three clicks were
heard, but the cartridges failed to ex-
plode. Next Mclaughlin turned the
gun toward Mrs. Lindstrom and pulled
the trigger three times again without
result. Mrs. Stroberg's three
year-old son next came into the room
and Mclaughlin pointed the weapon
at the child and pulled the trigger
again. About this time Patrolman Dur
man arrived at the home and placed
Mclaughlin under arrest.
May Be Indicted.
This morning Magistrate c. ]. Smith
sentenced Mclaughlin to serve six
months in the county Jail on vag-
rancy charge. States Attorney Floyd
E. Thompson was told of the case
and may act to remand it to the grand
jury for consideration. A charge of as
.sault with intent to murder may be
placed against Mclaughlin.

ANOTHER Member OF GANG
that KILLED SCH0ESSEL
is NAbBEO IN IDAHO FALLS

had occurred. MIR. Schoessel was a
foreman of machine shop depart
ment at the Rock Island arsenal. He
was well known here and the murder
caused a sensation that lasted for
weeks.
Perhaps no murder in the history OF
the city brought the sensational de-
velopments that this one did. During
the summer of 1914, plot to get the
various rewards offered was con-
cocted by Jim Daley and his common
law wife, Anna Daley.
Details Of Plot.
Sitting before Detective Tom Cox.
States Attorney Floyd Thompson and
Commissioner Archie Hart, in the lat
ter's Office, Daley and his wife made
statements duplicating three others.
The story they told so fitted in with
the clews the police had following the
murder that no thought was at first
given that their story was part OF a
frameup to get the reward.
DALEY and his wife told OF having
been in a room in rooming house on
the west side of Market square on the
night of the murder and having heard
George Gordon, Billy Hamilton and
two other men, rush into the place
and 20 to a room. They said they
heard them talk of the murder. Ac-
cording to their plans, Hamilton was
to turn states evidence in the hope OF
getting off with a light sentence cad
the reward was to be evenly divided
among Daley. his wife, Gordon and
Hamilton. However. when Hamilton
learned that he was not to be prom
ised light punishment, he refused
to go further with the story and then
Daley in order to strengthen the
story, arranged plan whereby the
police were tipped off to the fact that
he was the murderer.
DALEY was arrested on Sunday
and on a Sunday night made the con-
fession that it was he who had pulled
the trigger that sent the bullet into
Schoessel's body. Through this story
ne hoped to keep Hamilton and Cor
don in Jail and send the entire bunch
over the road. 1t was later revealed
! that jealousy over his wife prompted
him to do this. along with fear that
the frameup would be exposed.
| BY this time, authorities were thor
ougly disguised with the matter. They
| found loophole after loophole in the
story and eventually employed outside
detectives to determine whether OF
! not the case was a frameup. Eventual
/ " sufficient evidence was secured tt
prove beyond doubt that the Daley
story was concocted to obtain the re
ward.
Daileys Sentenced.
! Daley and Mrs. Daley were both in,
dicted by the grand jury on charges
! OF conspiracy. Both served short SEN
! fences in the penitentiary at Joliet anC
are now at liberty, but where they
are living no one here knows.
The Daley frameup had the tend
ency to delay investigations Of the pc
! lice and they were completely thrown
off of the trail of the gang of muir
! derers for about year. The tip O.
the Lambert woman was the first cleN
that put them on the right trai
again.
Davis probably will arrive here il
a week. Detective Cox will not ge
g., into Idaho Falls until Sunday. HI
probably will be back Wednesday OF
Thursday of next week, unless Davi:
fights extraditiOn. Davis is under one
| indictment for murder.

Admits Report is Correct.
Upon his return to Washington, Sen
letter from President Wilson contain
ing a quotation taken from the New
York World and asking if the quota
ton was correct Senator Chamber
lain replied that he had been quoted
substantially correctly in the World,
but asked the president to read the en-
tire speech as printed in the Times in
stead of only part of it.
Senator Chamberlain letter added
that he was discussing only the policy
"or lack Of policy" of the military
establishment. After stating his ex-
perience in the military affairs COM
mittee and, testimony in the commit
tees investigation, the senator's letter
continued:
Il believe | know something about
the deficiencies in the military estab-
lishment, deficiencies which are clearly
recognized and proven in system that
ought to be remodeled for the proper
prosecution of the war and have these
disjointed and uncoordinated defects
weeded out"
In his letter the senator also offered
to go over the whole situation with the
president. but said he received no re-
ply. and on the following day the
presidents statement criticiZing him
was published. The presidents state
ment and Senator Chamberlain's re-
ply then were read to the senate and
the Oregon senator said:
Il don't know if any reply to my
letter was necessary ! assume that
statement is the answer. The state
ment of the president challenges me,
of course, for proof of the statement
in the New York Times, to which
statement l adhere and repeat before
this body.
Thinks He Should Tell.
THE people OF this country may not
see this as l do, but as chairman of
the military committee, as an Ameri-
can citizen and member of this dis
tinguished body. ] feel that l should
say the things that are in me and IL |
succeed in making rift in the clouds
through which the American people
may see l will feel that my efforts
have not been in vain"
Now that my truthfulness has been
questioned" Senator Chamberlain con
tinued, Il feel it my duty to tell the
country something ! might not have
told it under ordinary circumstances. u
He repeated he had not. distorted
the truth in his speech made in New
York, but that owing to the great rush
of business. due TO the war, the presi-
dent has probably not been able to
ascertain the truth and does not know
the trutha From the lips of those

ecutive cannot learn the truth, not
because his advisors desire to mislead

Large Part of War Earnings Expected
to Disappear When Prices
Begin to Go Down

Boston, Nov. 19.-Swift & Co., have
prepared a reply to the accusation of
| the Federal Trade Commission filed
with Senate sub committee on Sept.
49,
The company states that in its
whole consideration of profits, the
Federal Trade Commission fails to
realize that the profits reported by
the packers are not profits that have
actually appeared in the form of cash,
but ale largely book profits tied up in
inventory which will undoubtedly dis
appear when prices begin to go down.
Even If The war had lasted five years
longer and the drop in prices did not
come until then, the TOSS will be just
as real.
For the meat and by-products de-
partmcnts. whic'' are subject to the
90 per cent limitation of profits, the
statement continues, the rate of turn
over is approximately 1-3 times a
year. ut must be remembered that
part of the steer consists of by-prod-
ucts which move slowly, that some of
the beef is cured and salted, and large
portion of pork products consist of
cured products which move very slow
