CHICAGO SEEKS
POLICEMAN
SLAYERS
BY International News Service

BY International news service
CHICAGO, April 2s.--The eighth
Chicago police officer to pay with
his life in the discharge of mis-
duties since the first of the year
was being mourned today while
hundreds of his fellow officers
secured the city for his slayer.
The dead officer-the third shot
by gunner in nine days-was
Detective Arthur Esau. 33, of Town
Hall Station. He was instantly
killed last night as he walked into
a drug store which was being held
up by two young bandits.
The action in the drug store was
dramatic. AS Detective Esau cas-
ually strolled in, ignorant of the
holdup, he noticed strange face
behind the counter. 1t was appar-
entity a new clerk.
what are you & doing here?''
asked Esau, not unkindly.
His reply was volley of lead
from an automatic pistol.
It developed that the pseudo
clerk and his partner had entered
the store few minutes before,
forced Louis Terman. proprietor,
who was alone in the place, to the
rear of the store where they bound
and gagged him.
A moment later, John Weber, a
customer, strolled in, and he too,
was promptly marched to the rear
where he was bound and gagged.
One bandit was left to guard the
prisoners, the other donned the
coat and hat of the clerk in order
to pose as a clerk, and went out
front to rifle the till.
1t was here that Detective Esau
walked in. After shooting the
officer, the bandit called to his
partner to, bring his hat and coat
and they escaped.

CAPITAL TRACTION
MAY Be REVALUED
New York Expert Invited to
Confer With Public UtiIi-
ties Commission.

Announcement was made by the Pub.
lie Utilities Commission today that DR.
Milo Malthie, New York public
utilities expert. has been invited to con-
fer with the commission on the posi-
bility of assisting in q revaluation OF
the Capital Traction Co. properties.
This action interpreted in some cir
cles as indicating that the commission
has definitely TO revalue the Capital
Traction Co. as of today, before render
Ing any decision on the application OF
that company for an increase in car
fare. A hearing on the fare increase
has been set for September 10.
DR.. Maltbie wSs engaged by the SEN
ate District committee to make study
of the street railway merger proposal IN
washington and is engaged already IN
the preliminaries of that work. He was
directed to report his recommendations
when the Senate reconvenes in Decem-
Der.
whether Or. Maltbie is to be engaged
by the Public Utilities Commission 10
make a valuation of the Capital Trac-
ton Co. one of the principal bones OF
contention during the recent merger
hearings in Congress. or whether ms
advice merely is being sought, was
view of his Official connection with the
merger proposal, the request made on
him by the Public Utilities Commission
gave rise to considerable conjecture.
1t was regarded. however. as q
strategic move by the commission IN
view of the forthcoming hearings on the
question of higher carfare.
Previously the commission had WRIT
ten to C. L. Pillsbury OF Minneapolis,
the engineer who made the last valu-
alton of the Capital Traction Co, used
as q basis for fixing the valuation of
the Washington Railway & Electric Co.
requesting his advice in connection with
q revaluation.
Mr.. Pillsbury. however, declined to.
come here owing to the pressure of
private business. His advice was de-
sired particularly because of his famil-
farity with the conduit type of street
railway construction peculiar to this
city
Upon his declination, the commission
wrote Saturday TO DR.. Maltbie In New
York His reply has not yet been re-
ceived.

body, a good disposition and COM
mon sense. She saw no reason
why she should not make use of
those blessings during the trying
months that motherhood exacts.
Now the baby is just old enough
to smile back at her when she
bends over his little crib. And
she is rewarded for all that she
did and all that she IS. The
baby is well. He Is perfectly
formed: he Is everything that a
man and woman want their new
born child to be. And the mother
can look back over the long
months with nothing to regret.
She went through her ordeal as
a valiant soul would.
If she has never been beautiful
before, Adelaide is truly beautiful
now. To see her with her baby
in her arms, and the Madonna
light in her eyes makes one feel
that somehow she is on sacred
ground, where nothing matters
except the best and noblest things
in life.

ASTONISHING
FENCE POST

The most ambitious fence post
in the world is probably on a Penn
sylvania farm. 1t has grown into
a tree.
The Farm Journal, which pub
fishes a photograph. of the freak,
recounts that the fence was built
in 1873 1T new catalpa timhers.
The other posts remained as dead
az fence posts should but this one
put down shoots and attained a
height of six feet within a year.
Today it is 40 feet high, with a
spread of As feet.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A, very vital problem soon to
confront me finds me i'm q
grevious predicament.
A young lady friend Of mine
and her brother have invited me
to spend a weekend with them.
The young lady has no parents
and does not keep house. Both
occupy suites in a hotel. Natur-
ally, upon my arrival / shall be
directed to a hotel, probably to
the one they're stopping at. Now
here's what's worrying me: IS

Are all obligations assumed by
my friends? Meals and such at /.

2. What gift or offering is ap-
propriate to grace my visit? /.

thing.

a short time, being introduced to /.
her while in New York recently
by a matchmaker" s
Please understand we are SUP
posed to be keeping company
Now. dear Mrs. Beeckman,
shall be very grateful for any
guidance or advice to my queries.
M.
From what you say OF this In
vitation, feel quite certain that
your friends mean to indicate that
they wish you to be their guest,
Since they do not keep house, the
hotel is Temporarily their home. J
and I believe that they would be
very much embarrassed If you
suggested paying your own ex-
penses. Was there nothing in. the
invitation, iii the wording OF the
invitation, I mean, that would
indicate how they regard your
visit?
II You think It would be safer,
however, and if they have not at
all made it clea to you, perhaps
you would feel better about 1t tt:
you did intimate that you would
like to bear your own expenses.
You could do this rather subtly
and it need not. think, give Of
fence. You would know at once,
from their answer to your sug-
gestion, how they regard the visit.
and then you could ''stop suggest
ing' Immediately.
2. It would be delightful and
graceful for you to take hand
some box of candy or some other
kind of Sweets" to the young
lady when you 90. Or q box OF:
candy and a book, or several
books. Or book or two and sew.
eral of the latest magazines. Or,
IL she enjoys smoking, q carton
of her favorite cigarettes. Or IL
you want to make an especial
gesture, all CT these.
