New 7O-Apartment House in

After Stranger Cries To

Two More Caught in Round.
Up for Murders; Miller
Said to Have Confessed

CHICAGO, May 1e.-Open defiance
of the efforts of the police to check
an outbreak of labor warfare which
has terrorized the city for two months
was seen tonight in spectacular fire
which partly burned a seventy-apart-
ment building under construction at
7711 Sheridan Road, in the heart of
n wealthy residence district.
Starting just before dark at several
points on the first floor, the flames
spread rapidly through the 100000
structure, and practically all fire fight
ing apparatus in the northern section
of the city was called before it was
brought under control with half the
building in ruins. The loss was placed
at 100000. The entire Rogers Park
police force was needed to keep back
the crowds, estimated at more than
5000.
Workmen on the structure were en-
ployed under the Landis wage award
and police declared that the fire was
but another step in a campaign Of ter
rorism directed against the award
which was made by former Federal
Judge K. NJ. Lands sitting as mediator
in a wage dispute between the building
trades workers and contractors. The
award was accepted by the contractors,
but has been actively opposed by sew
eral of the unions which were dissatis-
fed with its terms.
The fire followed several days of
quiet, during which the police have
been checking up much evidence seized
last week in raids on union headquar-
ters, the arrest of more than $50 labor
leaders and the indictment of eight
including Fred Nader, president of the
Building Trades Council, in connection
with the Staying Of two patrolmen by
four bombers who escaped in an auto
mobile.
Two new arrests were made to-day
following reports that a confession i'm
plicating several persons had been
made by John Miller, identified as
owner of the death car. Miller
previously had been quoted as saying
the automobile was stolen from him
several days ago before the crime One
of those taken into custody was Mrs.
Margaret Miller, his wife. The other

BY curious turn of chance the two
great contenders for supremacy of the

esch other yesterday in the Narrows,
but there was no mutual recognition

Sir Bertram Hayes, master Of the Ma

the Mauretania, are good friends both
operating out of Southampton, Cher

engrossed yesterday with the wary
handling of their big charges to in
du!ge in pleasantries across the Mar
rows. The radio handled their felci-
tations, but transcripts of these were
not available, at least on the Majestic.
The latest acquisition of the White
Star Line as she dropped anchor in
Quarantine yesterday in the early af-
ternoon made an exceedingly favorable
Impression. She surpassed in every
way the reports of her that have come
this way, and offered every opportun-
ity for survey as she swung round on
her anchor and pointed her stem
toward the sea.

She is vessel of $4,000 tons gross
with q displacement of $4,000 tons.
From stem to stern she measures 956
feet with hundred foot beam. From

for all her colossal dimensions she
gives no suggestion OF unwieldy clum-

Major Henry Lee fought under
George Washington in ITS. He be-
longed to the famous Lee family o1
Virginia. which furnished the slgnef
Of the Declaration of independence
and two representatives of the Amer
lean colonies abroad.
Robert Edward Lee, the subject OF
this sketch, was born January 18TH,
1907 at Stratford, Westmorelano
! County, virginia. He descended from
race of statesmen and warriors
His father was Colonel Henry ! ILee'
who won Distinction during the Rev.
olutionary War, and who was suDse-
ouently Governor Of Virginia. Ihe
latter was the son Of Richard Lee
whose paternal grandfather, of the
same name, was the founder OF tne
family in America. Robert E. Lee
mother was Matilda Lee, daughter
of Philip Ludwell Lee, who in l7't
offered in the Continental Congress
the famous resolution, which was
the introduction to the Declaration
of independence. Thus his parent:
were distant cousins. Robert E. Lee
was born in the old homestead, whlct
had served the family for severa
generations. His boyhood life wa!
passed in Northern Neck, most O.

The Lee family in Virginia is a
younger branch of one of the oldest
families in England. LauncelOt Lee,
the founder, was origixally from Lon
don in France, and went to England
with William the Conqueror. After
the battle of Hastings, a fine estate
in Essex was bestowed upon him as
one Of the followers of William, and
as a reward of his valor. In the
year 1892 Lionel Lee, first Earl Of
Litchfeld, raised company of ca
vai;ers Of gentlemen, and accompa-
MED Richard Occur de Lion in the
third crusade.
One Lee after another distinguished
themselves in the services of Enland
following each generation. Finally
Richard Lee, youngest son OF the
house of Litchfeld, branched off and
emigrated to America in the year
1900 and was the founder of the Lee
family in the colony Of Virginia
whose descendants have always oc'
cupied positions of honor and trust
in the State Of Virginia, some OF
