schlecht Shows No Surprise.
1t was evident that the cashier had
expected the filing of the further war
rants against him and he showed no
surprise when they were served upon
him by Deputy Sheriff Stanley Rauen.
He was awaiting in court at the time
and he was called to plead to the war
rants shortly after he had been served
with them, 1t was admitted that the
service of the. new, warrants in the
case had considerably complicated
plans which had been made by rela-
tives of Schlecht to provide for the
payment. 1t was also admitted that
the amounts shown in the report were
considerably above the expected
amount. No statement was made as to
whether. the investigation of the books
of the bank was completed or as to
whether or not further charges against
Schlecht might be expected to be
brought by the state later.
Some Shortage in Bonds.
While the statement rendered by the
state to the attorneys for the defend
ant was not made public and some of
these bonds had been the property of
customers who had left them with the
bank for safe keeping. The total of
the bond item in the report of the
shortage was sum in the neighbor-
hood of S., 900
Schlecht Badly Broken.
Schlecht appeared badly broken in
health when he appeared in court this
morning and it was admitted that he
had suffered greatly since the first an
nouncement of the shortage Of the bank
and his alleged populations. Several
of the friends of the defendant from
Silverlake were in the court room This
morning. They declared that some ex-
animation should be made into the
mental condition of the cashier. They
asserted that they believed that such
an investigation might bring some de-
tense for him which has not been
brought out at public hearings of the
case.

GIRL IS FORCED
TO WALK HOME
Waukegan Girls Escort
Leaves Her to Walk
Home Sunday.
TO PROBE CASE TODAY

Kenosfls. and Waukegan police were
investigating today the story of Myrtle
Nelson, q, of South Utica street, Wau-
kegan, who declares that because she
would not listen to the whims of a
man she was forced to "get out and
walk" in Kenosha early Sunday morn
ing. Her escort, also of Waukegan,
left her in the street in Kenosha just
after one o'clock Sunday morning.
Frightened, with her hair dishevelled,
shoes missing and clothing torn, she
was befriended by Mr.. and Mrs. "Billy"
Collins of Kenosha. Collins, formerly
a Waukegan saloonkeeper, but now
proprietor of a soft drink parlor in
Kenosha, was appealed to by the girl
when she was left stranded here; he
and This wife took her to Waukegan to
the police station there in an auto
mobile.
Gave Wrong Name First.
Fearing publicity, the girl shrank
from telling her name to the desk
sergeant, giving instead the name of
Elizabeth Johnson" of South Sheri-
dan Road. Later, when friend hap
pened into the station, she gave her
right name but refused to disclose
the name of the man, whom she
claimed is from Waukegan.
She had taken ride, according to
the story of Mrs Collins, to whom
the girl told her tale, and man had
deserted her on the south side of
Kenosha after hard fight. She
stood weeping in the street, with a
man but short distance away MAX
ing his escape, when Mrs. Collins
discovered her. The girl begged her
to take her to Waukegan, and the
woman consented after making sure
that it was not hold-up game.
Collins and his wife drove the girl
directly to the Waukegan police, and
asked that they take up the matter.
Four In the Party.
The girl,~it is understood, refuses
to divulge the name of the man who
was accompanying her. According to
another person to whom the story was
told there were four in the party, two
men and two women. The other wo-
man, so it is claimed, didn't "get out
and walk"

KENOSHA GIRL IN
TRAIN COLLISION
Jessie Birner En- Route to
Coast Escapes Uninjur-
ed in Crash.
HELPED WITH INJURED

News of how Miss Jessie Birner Of
Kenosha, former Mckinley schoo /
teacher, miraculously escaped death in
the train accident at Annandale, Mimi,
Saturday, in which thirteen people
were killed, was recounted in a letter
received this morning by Miss Birner's
mother, Mrs. George Birner, 852 Eliza
beth street. Mrs. Birner received a
telegram from her daughter, Sunday
announcing that she was we'll and alive
but was not certain until today that
the train accident Miss Jessie had
survived was the terrible Annandale
collision. The missive which reached
here today was post-marked Amman
dale and announced that the sender
was able to resume her journey to
the Pacific coast.
Crash Tpsses Her to Floor.
Miss Birner in her letter home mar
rated the events of Saturday m morning.
She was sitting in the last Pullman
car in the train chatting with a young
woman whose acquaintance she had
made on the train, when suddenly they
heard an awful crash. Sound and
motion came together for the two com
panions found themselves thrown to
the floor of the train. Miss Birner
was able to regain her feet, and
found that except for few bruises,
she was safe, as was also her
fellow traveller.
A few moments later, they found,
however, that catastrophe and terror
had struck some of the other coaches.
They learned that two trains, includ-
ing theirs, had met head-on and the
engineers both were dead. Thirteen
bodies were lying dead along the
tracks and twenty others were seri1
ously injured. The Kenosha girl, with
her companion, hurried out and as
sisted in caring for the dying and
the wounded, marvelling at their own
escape from death.
Expert assistance was soon at hand
and the sad cortege wound it's way in
horror fresh in her mind, Miss Birner
wrote home to re-assure her family.
She was able to continue her journey
to the coast, stopping at Lake Louise
and arriving in California with Los
Angeles as her objective, ms ea1 of
San Francisco as first planned.
She will sail from San Francisco,
August % on the S. S. Maine for the
Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific, having
been engaged to teach at the Eleele
school, Island Kauai, Hawaii.

BASEBALL PLAYERS
WILL FORM UNION
Pinch Hitters May Get Chance to
Demand Recognition Under New
Organization.
By Associated Press Leased wire.)

BY Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Milwaukee = Ray G. Cannon. Mil
waukee attorney and former baseball
player, has been retained by mem
bers of several big league clubs to
complete the organization of base
ball players union which has, it is
said, already developed to a point
where practically every club in the
two major leagues and several in the
minor leagues are represented.
"The purpose of the association"
declared Mr.. Cannon, sis not to start
any war with club owners, but to give
the players representation on a com
mission with the presidents of the two
leagues. Under present conditions, the
club owner has everything his way and
the ball player holds the bag. A club
owner can now terminate contract
at any time on ten days notice, while
player who violates contract is
barred from baseball. Other abuses
make the player merely pawn of the
club owners"
Cannon has already interviewed Sam
uel Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and has been promised
the support of the federation in any
just cause for which such a union may
be declared.
There is no attempt on the part Of
the players, according to Cannon to en-
gender bitterness with the club own
ers. The organization has been form
ed merely to give the ball players a
voice in matters which concern them
and which heretofore have been decid-
ed solely by the club owners.
