A burglar was caught red-handed at 4:30 yesterday morning in the basement of the Walter G. Clark wholesale sporting goods house at 1214 Har- ney street. At the police station he was identified as George Leonard, who has worked as bookkeeper and salesman for the Carpenter Paper company and {or the Lee-Glass-Andreesen Hardware company, but who for several months has been out of employment. The polica say he has been in trouble several times before. He pleads innocent to the charge of burglary and ex- plains his presence in the basement by say- tectlve. About 4 o'clock ¥ cer W. R Wilson, Past Hurney street beat, noticed that the big plate glass win- dow 1n front of the Clark store was broken, an aperture, having been made large enough to admit the body of a man. He notified the police station by telephone and asked for instructions. Offcers were dispatched to guard the premises sterday. morning Offi- in walking his horie ‘of Mr. Clark that in all probability a burglar was In his store and he was re- quested to hurry down with the keys. A half hour later Officer Wilson, who had been watching at the fractured window, was joined by Mr. Clark with the keys. They entered through the front door. Then, looking well to the condition of their pls- tols they searched the ground floor, where was found pleuty of evidence that someone had been rifling the show cases, but nothing was to be seen of the intruder. They theu went to the basement, lighting their way with matches as they proceeded. Finally Oficer Wilson stepped on the legy of a man who was lying on the floor bes tween two packing cases. The officer gave the command to “Throw up your hands which was obeyed, and a moment later the handcuffs were slipped on the wrists of the marauder, In his hip pocket was found a fine new revolver with all chambers loaded. This was the extenf of his loot, s0 far as could be made out, and the theory of the police 18 that he had been alarmed and taken to cover scon after entering the building. A charge of burglary has been flled against him. MURPHY AND BARTON RETURN Mr. Murphy Says There is Nothing in Rumors of ConsoHdation of Local Corporations. Frank Murphy and Guy C.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—A large and ever-increasing number of thoughtful and well informed people (n Great Britain eéx- press the serious bellet that if radical changes do not come sbout in the near fu- ture the United Kingdom will be relegated to the third position in the ranks of ths world's trade and commerce. This state- ment is made by United States Consul Boyle at Liverpool in his annual report, extracts from which were made public today by the State department It is conceded, says Consul Boyle, that in manufactures Great Britain within the last few years has failed to meet the competi- tlon of the United States and Germany. Mr. Boyle says the optimistically inclined plend exceptional and marvelous natural | adventages as far as the United States i« concerned, while as to Germany's fierce competition the uneatistactory fnancial situation now prevailing in that empire is cited as an instance as a country hooming iteelf too rapidly. The cry of something must be done. says the consul, is going up from commercial bodies, political speakers, economic writers, and from the newspapers Incline to Reciprocity. There are fears expressed, says Mr, Boyle, that even in the carrying trade the su premacy of Great Britain is threatened. | There is a strong sentiment among the masses of Great Britain and one which ap- pears to be gaining strength as time goes on in favor of bringing about what has be- come popularly known as “fair trade' and which, says Mr. Boyle, is nothing but reci- procity. Protection, he says, is not very much advocated, but it is significant that many of the most widely circulated papers of Great Britain now are boldly advocating a policy of “falr trade,” or “do to others 8 they do to you." Agaiust this sentiment, however, the consul says, must be set the natlonal dislike to change established insti- tutions, of which free trade is one of the most fundamental, To regard to educational reforms in the United Kingdom, Mr. Boyle says that the universally acknowledged interiority of Great Britaln to most of the leading na- tions, particularly the United States and Germany, is given frequently as one of the chief reasons why Great Britain is being outstripped in her manufactures, American Workmen Excel, A particularly interesting portion of Con- sul Boyle's report ls that wherein be places the American and the Britlsh workman side by side in a comparison which places the American far to the fore. English manufacturers, he says, find it almost im- possible to get the same amount of product from machines as is obtained in America. There are twb reasons for this, says Mr. Boyle, First, the average Britlsh work- man is not as adaptable as the American and does not so readily get command of new appllances; and, second, that it is not the cutom of the country for an English- man, whether clerk, mechanic or laborer, to work as hard as an American. Then, too, states Mr. Boyle, the English workman is incned to spit very fine hairs—he will often refuse to do anything outside of a cer- tain line rigidly laid down by the custom of his craft rally and by his trade union in partieula The small extent to which up-to-date la- bor-saving machinery is ueed in Great | Britaln as compared with America, and | even Germany, Mr. Boyle says, is just now | a leading topic of discussion. English man- ufacturers, he says, are handicapped. by reason of their employment of antiquated plants. The rule in England, says he, Is for a plant or machine not to be replaced until it Is abeolutely worn out. The ques- tion is, he says, will it do? not “can it be tmproved ? In the meantime, says Consul Boyle in closing his report, “now is the time for American manufacturers to get a stronger foothold fn this ocountry. THERE ARE TWO LULU M’COYS Chicago Woman Transters Property to Which She Had no Clatm, ' CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—An alleged fraudulent transter of a Kansas farm valued at $15,000 1s the charge brought against Mrs. Minnie McCoy and her daughter, Lulu McCoy of Chicago, who appeared before a maglstrate here today. The two women were arrested in Chlcago yesterday on complaiut of Charles McCoy, who claims that his sister, named Lulu M. McCoy, I8 the rightful ownér of the land, and that the Lulu McCoy named ns the defendant made use of the similarity of names to trausfer land In which she had no righttul interest. Joneph McCoy of Phillips county, Kansas, original owners of the land, dled in 1889 and left the land—160 acres of bottom land—to his daughter, Lulu M. McCoy. Up to two years ago she had no debt, but all the land was still fn her possession, although man- aged by another. In 1899, however, a “per- sonal’” stating that it Miss Lulu McCoy will correspond with James Coffey of Wood- ruff, Ta., she will learn something to her ad- vantage,” appeared in & Chicago paper. Charles McCoy alleges that this advertise- ment was answered by Mrs. Minnle McCoy and that as & result a trasfer for the land | to Coffey was signed by Mrs. McCoy's | daughter, Lulu. Mrs, McCoy told the police | that Coffey gave her daughter $789 for the | dced. Coffey claims the land was sold to Wing of Hamburg, la. Wing reached Chi- cago with his attorney. Wing said he was acting in good faith and that he gave | Coftey $000 to get the signature of Miss | McCoy to the deed, supposing that the | rightful owner alone would be found bear- ing that name. Mrs. Minnle McCoy is credited with serting that she had no reason to belleve that the land might not have been willed to her daughter, as she had relatives in Kan- sas. Mrs McCoy and her daughter de- | clared their willingness to transfer to Wing 160 acres of land iu Michigan to reimburse | him 1t it is found that the Kaneas farm should be trapsferred back to the other | Lulu McCoy, A continuance in the hearing | till January 3 ‘was taken in order to bring witnesses from Kansas.
