GAS DIVIDEND IS
SEEN NEXT YEAR
Company Says It Hopes to
Rebuild S418,0O0 Surplus.

The Citizens Gas Company today
announced It hopes to resume the pay
ment Of dividends to common stock
holders next year. The announcement
was in the form of a letter to stock
holders.
The announcement says the COM
pany expects to re-establish the sur
plus Of $41S, 900 paid in by stockhold-
ers and to resume dividend payments,
should no untoward circumstances
arise in the meantime"
The question of gas rates still is
pending before the public service com
mission and it has been indicated
there will be a slight decrease soon.
The letter calls attention to the fact
that because of the mild winter the
company has $4,000 tons Of surplus
coke on hand.

men tried to induce them to open the
door and on their refusal smashed
the door with axes. A struggle fol-
lowed, but the officers finally sub
dued the men and carried them to
safety.
The flames shot many feet into the
air and within hour after the alarm
was given the building was gutted.
Defective wiring caused the fire, It
is believed
Five separate Investigations are un-
der way. State, county and city au-
thorities. the fire marshal and police
are trying to place the responsibility.
In the last ten years dozen fires
have visited the asylum. None of
them was serious and no loss Of lives
was incurred

understood the same conditions pre-
vailed at State hospital in Elgin.

ing, DR.. Coffey announced, after a
careful check-up. This number is ex-
elusive OF the dead.
Two fugitives were captured early
today. One was in a restaurant and
the other was walking the streets in
daze. Neither offered resistance.
Residents in Panic
In the meantime residents OF north
west Chicago were in a near panic
in fear Of the fugitives, normally mild
ly insane, but who may have been
excited to a dangerous state by the
nights happenings.
Homes were locked up and the men
were at home to guard against an

why some people only can not
keep from getting hit, but they try to
knock the train off the track"
Are Drivers Blind?
He related an incident a few nights
ago when a long line OF traffic was
held up by passing train One
driver cut around all the others and
forging ahead, smashed into the side
Of the train. ..
Couldn't you see that train?
C'Conuor asked.
Well, I didn't" the driver meekly
replied.
Even a crossing watchman isn't
safe III the street, O'Connor has con-
cluded. One night he had just let &
line Of machines go ahead after a
train had passed. Another machine
came down the street and striking
him aft, knocked him across the
tracks. O'Connor now directs traffic
from the sidewalk.
Probably the biggest chance an
autoist takes is driving past a cut
off" O'Connor said. when string
of cars is standing near the crossing
with an engine on the opposite end
you never know when the engineer
is going to kick back
yet, it almost is impossible to keep
machines back. Because they can't
see the engine they think there is
no danger. But, the worst accident
that ever happened here was last May.
A machine was caught and crushed
between two sections Of a train when
the engineer kicked back to couple
the cars"
