GAS JET ROUTE
IS END To LIFE
Of BAD CAREER
Woman of IS Said to
Have Taken Million
Dies in Drab House.

Chicago, May 23.-The final chapter
in the career of Mrs. Emma Weir big
Emma" better known by q score OF
alises in police records. vas being
written Tuesday by the police, who dis.
covered the 6~5-year-old woman dead,
with a gas tube in her mouth in the
attic of a drab cottage which had been
her home since she retired" 70 years
ago.
Murder and suicide are believed by
the authorities to have played the final
roles in Big Emma's" life: In another
Their 65, Mrs. Weir's ~inseparable COM
panion for three years, was found dead
with two ribs broken and numerous
body bruises. Theats on Mrs. Gun
theirs life by big Emma" were re-
counted by several persons Tuesday.
Big Emma was credited with the
most spectacular career OF any woman
in Chicago police annals. Rated as
one Of the city's most daring and
successful shop filters, she came to
be known as the million dollar LITTER"
For many years she headed the Weir
gang which practiced systematic
thievery in large stores with such
cleverness that members of the band
were seldom caught. In the gang
were her husband, two sisters and
three brothers.
Little of Story Recorded
Comparatively little of "Emma's"
story is in police records. Her light
fingered c~leverness, police say, saved
her from detention time after time,
until in 1900 police had estimated her
plumber at 100000. They said she
had undoubtedly annexed another half
million since. 1t was Mrs. Weir who
first introduced the 'split skirt" to
Chicago. but not for style. Big
Emma used the split to reach an
underskirt provided with ample pockets
to store away her loot as she extract
ed il from store counters. In her
balmier days she was said to have
driven up to State street stores in
a "four-in-hand' with a team Of
blooded horses and a driver in livery.
After loading her voluminous skirts
with picked articles-'Big Emma was
an expert judge of quality as well as a
.plunderer of quantity-she would
rustic out to the waiting carriage to
drive her away.

ARTICLE No. 81

How we are accomplishing Big things well
DONE"
First by selecting businesses that are really
a part of the economic life and growth of Great
Falls and that have a large value to the COM
munlty.
Second by so organizing these businesses and
so programming their future operations that
their success can be made sure. ''Whatever can
be done, can be accurately planned before it is
DONE"
Third by adequately financing these business
es, so that their operations can be conducted in
self respect to the owners and without the loss
of efficiency which financial worry causes.
Fourth by daily supervising the conduct of
these businesses, so that their operations are
kept in strict accord with the program. We
steer always by the chart.
There are many other important factors
which enter into the program of Efficiency
Engineering. Among these are:
1. Force-at a high power-constantly.
2. Observance of the proverb: "Be sure you
are right and then go ahead"-and keeping on
going, despite any obstacle or what might be
felt as Encouragement.
3. The cooperation of the public.
Now we have just taken this for granted. l
want the public to believe in me, my company,
the principles and value of Efficiency Engineer
ing, and most of all in the businesses which I am
operating here. | believe, not only in Co-pera-
tive Ownership, but also that the day of ground
floor" privileges and secrecy in business is done.
| am perfectly willing that the public know all
there is to be known about the businesses we
are handling. In order that the public may
know this | am giving them every possible op-
p%ortunity to verify every statement that I
make. And then when the public does know, l
want its cooperation.
Now let us have a real aristocracy of pro-
gress here, make Cooperation a fact and do
Big Things. The Big Things to do are here and
await only the doing. In Article No. SO l will
try to say something about the real Aristocracy
of Great Falls. And then in Article No. SO and
subsequently we will use another name for these
folks; not "Aristocracy."
