WARRANT IS ISSUED
 FOR ANDREWS ARREST
Prosecutor Accuses Him of Violating Tenement
 House Laws

Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods to- day issued a warrant for the ar rest of Charles S. Andrews for three violations of the state tenement house act by illegal conversion of a two-family house on Lake Boulevard into one of three tenements with out approval of the building depart ment.
 The prosecutors action brings to a head q case that has been hanging fire for the past two weeks follow ing complaints of neighbors to the building commission. Attorney Isrel Nair, counsel for Andrews, declared several days ago that his client had been subjected to publicity unjustly and he invited Inspector A. N. Ruth erford to view the premises so that the inspector might issue a state- ment that the house is actually one of two tenements. In his visit the inspector gathered additional evi- dence which not only failed to bring forth the desired statement, but in creased his conviction the house is one of three tenements.
 It is alleged that the third floor ceiling does not conform with state requirements, that the cellar ceiling has not been plastered. as is re- quired under the tenement house act, and that iron beams, required in three tenement houses, have not been used in construction.

KIDDIES TREASURED BY
 MEN WHO WENT TO POLE
Ellsworth and Byrd Send Messages That They, Saw Old Santa
 At the Top of the World

New York, Dec. 18.-lR- Yes, children there is Santa Claus. Two Americans who have been to the top of the world say so, and he is to use airplanes and dirigibles as well as reindeer this year.
 Noting that boys and girls all over the word were concerned because Santa and reindeer were not men, toned in the explorers narratives, Henry Woodhouse, president of the ,erial league of America, wrote them. Asked whether Santa had been seen, Lincoln Ellsworth of the Norge replied:
 Absolutely. hope the time will never come when I cannot see Santa Claus"
 And this came from Commander Byrd: How could I miss seeing Santa when I had been waiting all my life to visit his dominion"
 Ellsworth saw many reindeer, when Byrd was over the Pole they were busy getting new antlers and coats for Christmas.
 Ellsworth said he hopes Santa will always use reindeer, but he feared this progressive age would require the use of aircraft. Byrd said he learned that Santa is using planes and dirigibles this year in addition to reindeer. Where he does not go by aircraft 1t will be the fault of the cities, he said, as they failed to provide airports on which Santa can land safely.

STEEL DIVIDEND AS
 VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
Many Interpret Action to Show Belief in 1927
 Prosperity

New York. Dec. 19 LP - In the midst of joy of thousands over Christmas dividends, shorts in United States Steel and some other lines registered gloom today because of the unexpected spurt in the stock market which sent prices soaring to new high levels after the Steel corporations announcement of a 40 per cent stock dividend.
 Reactions away from Wall street ar expected by the New York Times. which points out that farm bloc circles have more or less con- sistently opposed high tariff as discriminatory against farmers and in favor of industry. The New York World considers it significant that the cutting of the $200,OO0, 900 melon follows some time after the the change from the twelve to the eight hours day, which steel mag mates had opposed as invited ruin to the industry.
 It developed that Wall street had not discounted the stock issue in ad- vance, as is usual, having heard that the special meeting of directors which authorized it had been called to act upon the resignation of Ebert H. Gary, who announced some time ago that his retirement is imminent.
 Spectators vied with each other to get themselves on the company's lists before the rich dividends are issued, bidding against each other and some bears" who had sold short before the announcement. Among the shorts who scurried to cover when steel headed the big rise in dozens of stocks were, Wall street gossip has it. group of Chicago operators who recently made kill ing in Baldwin Locomotive stock.
 Financial circles generally believe the stock dividend was a joint sug- gestion of George F. Baker and J. P. Morgan. The action was gener- ally interpreted as an expression on the part of the directors of complete confidence in the stability and pros- perity of the iron and steel industry and in the prospects for the coming year,

CHICAGO CHILD SLAIN
 BY MENTAL DEFECTIVE
Boy of Six Found Dying by Priests, Called by Un-
 identified Man

Chicago, Dec. IS P - Walter Schmich, six years old. died at a hospital early today of a fractured skull, following his kidnapping and attack by man believed by the po- lice to be a mental defective.
 The youth was found unconscious in the loft of riding academy by Rev. L. J. Sweeney and Rev. c. J. Mccarthy of St. Vincent's chuych, who were led to the place by an un- identified man who called at the church office and told the priests Of the attack.
 At first they thought the man was demented but he was insistent and the trio hastened to the loft where the youth was lying with deep gash f in his head. Father Sweeney raised the boys head and asked him his name, and finally he muttered, Walter" At the same time Father Mccarthy, who is known for his ath- letic prowess, rushed to seize the man, who had jumped to a ladder leading from the loft, and escaped after slamming a door in his pur- suer's face.
 The priests then hurried the youth to hospital, where he regained consciousness long enough to give his telephone number.
 They were unable to check the number, but in the meantime man had reported the crime to the Rogers Park police station, where 1t was found that Walter schmich had been reported missing. Neighbors of the boys parents reported early last evening they had seen him walking down the street with a strange man.
 Fathers Mccarthy and Sweeney said they were in their office when the stranger of about 30 years old appeared, and speaking with an &C., cent, gave them the details of the attack.

7ELEVISI0N CERTAIN,
 ALEXANDERS0N SAYS
Noted Inventor Predicts Its Use Within Next
 Decade

New York, Dec. IS PHWithir ten years persons will be able to see and talk to each other over the ocean in the opinion of Dr. E. F w. Alexanderson, consulting engin. eer of the Radio Corporation of America and the General Electric company.
 Dr. Alexanderson made the pre- diction yesterday upon his return from St. Louis where he outlined the possibilities of television before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.
 'The two fundamental obstacles that once made people say televi- sion was impossible already have been removed" he said. ''The dis covery of the short wave gave us potential speed enough for trans- mission. The devising of televi- sion protector using seven light sources increases the useful illumi- nation 49 times and provides all tn light necessary for the screen"
 Dr. AleXanderson said that in la boratory tests pictures have been sent in ten seconds, but that televi- sion will require the transmission, reception and reproduction of pie ture in one e-sixteenth of a second.
 Three steps must be accomplish ed before television can be develop ed to the point of public utility, he said. The first. he explained, is the broadcasting of pictures, which he declared to be almost at hand the second is the transmission of facsimiles of messages and letters, and the third of radio transmission of motion pictures.
 The broadcasting of pictures has already been accomplished in la boratory tests. he said, and now only needs perfecting of a method of reception. Likewise, he said, the sending of facsimile messages has been accomplished but more speed in the process is necessary before 1t can become practical.
