CHESTER ESCAPES
Gangsters Believed, to Have Aided
Murderer's Getaway at Broken
Bow, Nebraska.

Grand Island, Neb., Nov. I5.-Den-
ME Chester, named in a state warrant
as the slayer of Miss Florence Bar
ton, escaped tonight by a sensational
plunge through, the window of Pull
man stateroom, just as Burlington
train No. a. pulled out of Broken
Bow, Neb.
Chester was aided in his escape by
confederates, who fired volley of
revolver bullets into the stateroom
after Chester made his headlong
plunge. The prisoner was not hand
cuffed when he escaped.
Chester was alone in the stateroom
with f. Z. Beasley, city detective
of Kansas City, when the train bound
for Kansas City pulled away from
the depot platform at Broken Bow.
John w. Farrell and Harry Boyle,
operatives of the Midwest Secret Ser
vice, were seated in the Pullman op.
posite the closed stateroom door.
The detectives had taken turns ques-
tioning the prisoner since the long
journey from Great Falls, Mont, be-
gan Sunday.
Came the sound of breaking glass
and revolver shots. The stateroom
door opened and out dashed Detect
i've Bcasley. There were screams of
women passengers. There was pam
demonium.

MES jumped out of the window. He
ieaped through the glass headlong

where in the dark began shooting.

While Beasley shouted the words
Farrell and Boyle leaped from the
steps of the speeding train, their re-
-volvers drawn. Beas1ey also jumped
into the darkness. BY the time the
train was stopped Broken Bow was
far distant. The Pullman proper was
crowded with men, women and chill
dren, but no one was injured.
Chester and his confederates are
believed to be fleeing in motor car.

ZEAL ESTATE MEN
DIVIDED ON BILL
some Favor and Some Oppose
Measure in Legislature In
creasing License to 5000.

Many of the older real estate brokers
the city favor the bill at Dover provid-
ngfor an increase of the real estate broker s
license from $50 to 500. There are
many dealers, however, who are opposed
O it.
Some Of the leading brokers in the city
anticipated in the drafting of the measure.
The reasons given by Carroll w. Griffith,
"a West Ninth street, to an Every
evening man, included the fact that the
City Council here has sought by bill
,lso introduced at this session, to assume
cgulation of the real estate brokerage
business in this city. The State is now
unetioning in that regard.
I'VE do not know just what Council
means by regulating in this case" said
Mr.. Griffith.
Others besides Mr.. Griffith who ex-
pressed approval of the bin were George
Nj. Miller, S45 Orange, and Albert W.
Posey, 9O6 West Ninth. The alleged
practices of some operators is condemned
oy all three of these brokers. One man
declared that some men in the business
'toop TO dishonorable means and methods
and thus cast a shadow upon the whole
number. Talk about prohteering in all
lines has also led these brokers to believe
that they should make this offer TO pay
higher license
On the other side, il is contended by
such brokers as John j. Monaghan S32
Orange; William III. Bramble, 1907 Tat
nall; John j. Hanley, 623 West Fourth,
and Manion & Co, 9l3 Orange, that
the bill is nothing more than an attempt
To drive lot of the little fellows out
of business.
'If they wish merely TO protect the
public. as some claim, said MIR. Monaghan
''let them simply require that each
broker and solicitor file a bond at the
Court House binding themselves to deal
fairly in every particular with everybody.
would remind many of the larger brokers
that they got their start on less than 5000"
MIR. Monaghan admitted that some
dealers are practicing dishonesty or dis
honorably, or both, but said the pending
bill would not cure that.
The bill also provides that for each
firm shall pay an extra 500.
At present any firm may send out as
many solicitors as it pleases for the one
license fee of $50.

making, an experimental dyehouse and a

desirable and convenient. We can all
recall the big, black trays of bygone
days. For some reason they were al
Ways made with am overhanging edge
which was most deceptive and We're in
consequence always tipping over with
their load Of dishes. These trays were
so ugly ever when new! The enameled
ware trays are made to balance as
well as to last and they keep their
good looks to the end. In a household
of any size an enameled ware tray
with an equipment of enameled ware
cup, saucer, plate, teapot, etc, especial
ly for use in serving a breakfast in bed
to a temporarily laid up member Of the
family, will be found most useful. Kept
always in order, it saves time and
bother in getting ready in an emer-
gcncy. The enameled ware is light,
easily carried and is not readily in

Trays Useful Everywhere.

We none or very few of us, use trays
as much as we might. How often do
we have TO regret a married table or
the stained polish on a bureau. If only
that hot dish or pitcher of hot water
had been placed on a tray the damage
would not have been incurred. Trays
used to be rather heavy, awkward
things, all except the expensive china
ones which were so apt to get broken.
Now, however, we have in enameled
ware the ideal tray which fits into any
place and any need. A dainty tray of
white enameled ware is never out of
place, even amongst the incest Il r
roundings. 1t is easily kept looking
its whitest and best, and cannot be
broken by the most frequent handling.
These small trays have only to be tried
to become indispensable adjuncts to
the dining table and the bedroom. For
serving trays the large size is not less
