Three men SHOT
BY WIFE BEATER
WHO KILLS SELF
Crazed by Drink, Chicago Man
BarriCadeS Self in Home
and Stands Off Police
Posse Three Hours.

Chicago, March 1.-Two police
men and a civilian are in hospitals
today with bullet wounds inflicted
by a man barricaded in his own
house, while the latter lies in a
morgue with part of his head blown
off by turning hts weapon against
himself.
From 10 o'clock last night until
1 o'clock this morning George
Ondeck, real estate dealer, held
more than half a hundred police
men at bay, exchanging shot for
shot and driving the besiegers to
cover of adjacent fences, sheds and
cottages. One of his bullets
plowed furrow along a police
mans scalp, while another lodged in
brother officers leg.
The civilian was wounded in the
head, and Of the three men he is
the more seriously injured. When
Ondeck was reduced to his last
cartridge he turned his rife against
himself, exploding it by showing
the trigger against the back of
chair.
Charged with Cruelty.
Forty-fve minutes later the po-
lice crept cautiously into the house.
Ondeck lay dead on the floor. The
house was filled with gas, a be-
sieger's bullet having broken a gas
pipe. In rear room, lying on the
floor and close to the walls, we're
Mrs. Ondeck and her several chill
dren, where they had thrown them
selves to escape the bullets that
crashed through the frame cottage
walls
Ondeck is said to have been
drinking and the police were hunt
ing him with a warrant charging
cruelty, sworn out by the wife. They
had gone to the house, when the cid
est boy had hurried to the nearest
police station to summon aid against
the father, who was threatening the
family. Three of them went and
we're fired upon. They summoned
the reserves.

Protests Against Chinese
Trading Company Rejected

Peking, March l2.-(By The As
ISOLATED Press.) $500 American and
British protests made against the
creation of the Chinese Trading
company" which was authorized
last August for the purpose of act
ing as a special purchasing agent

Paris, March 12.-With the time
near for the league of nations to
appoint manufactures for the vast
African possessions and other col
onies of the former German empire
comes the bitter realization on the
part of Germany's imperialists that
their dream of a great empire-ri-
valing the dominions of Great Brit
ain-has crumbled to dust as quick
ly as did their once formidable mil
itary machine.
In Africa alone and along the
equator Germany has lost territories
which in the aggregate are a third
as large as the area of the United
States and five times the size of
Germany itself as it existed in the
heyday of William II. These
wealthy lands, the sell of which is
capable of telling many a bloody
tale of Prussian colonization, CON
sisted of more than 100000 square
miles at the outbreak of the war,
divided as follows:
So. Miles.
German East Africa. $4,000
The Camerons. Observation-Disclosures. 100000
Iogoland OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. $4,000
Southwest Africa. S22,450
Total ...................... .1,O8o,15O
In addition are the Pacific pos
sessions:
So. Miles.
Kaiser wilhelmsIand German
New Guinea ..::..:..'....'...'7o, 10000
The Bismarck archipelago. 20, 900
The German Solomon Islands.
German Samoa Observation-Disclosures, 1000
The Caroline islands. ............. $50
The Marianne. or Ladrons islands. $50
The Marshall Islands. $50
Of all these possessions, however,
German East Africa ranks first. 1t
was the diadem in the crown of the
new empire. 1t was to have been
the keystone of New Germany"
modelled on the lines of Britain's
colonial possessions in America,
South Africa and Australasia. Ger
man East Africa has a native popu-
lation of from 100000 to 100000
mostly natives-and in 1918 it
could boast of total trade of $22,-
100000 a year, more than half of
which incidentally tinkled its metal
lurgical way into the Golfers of the
tatherland.
Big Initial immigration.
