Tromrson, BrLpzr &Ca Y. M. C. A. Building, Corner A number of shot struck Van Dine in the face and one struck him in the throat, causing him trouble, When they loft the engine both were nearly dead and unable to travel. country at that place is rough, sandy and cut up by gravel pits, and traveling there would soon exhaust a vigorous man, and the two bandits made slow progress. The officers were coming up fast and soon were | close on the fugltives' heels. It was easy | to track them in the new fallen snow and | the hunt was specilly closed. The men | were seen as they dodged about the sand dunes and those who were armed with shot Buns opened fire, Niedermeler received a charge in the head and the blood streamed down his face and into his eyes, blinding him #o that he could hardly rise. One grazed Van Dine's hoad and his wounded leg was weakening. There was no escape and it was evident to both men that the time had come either to surrender or fight to the death, men The Unwilling to Kill More. Both men were heavily armed and able to take more lives before both lost thelr own, but as Van Dine said tonight in dis- cussing his surrender: “There would have beén no good in that, as we never shoot anytody unless we have to and killing any of those fellows would not have let me off. 1 sald to Pete, ‘Well, what do you think? Niedermeler nodded his head, put up his guns, and that's how they got us.” Van Dine, who has served in the army, shows military tralning in many ways, was full of scorn for the men who had taken him. “I could have killed no end of them,” he sald. “They came walking along like a drove of quail, and I could have covered the ground with them. I had plenty of cartridges, and I gencrally hit what I shoot at. It wouldn't have done me any good, I Buess.” The men were at once handeuffed, placed upon ‘a trafw and hurried to Chicago, the city polite officers wakling wot a minute In rushing them over the line Into Iilinois to avold possible clash withi the Indiana’ police, who might have demanded the men on account of the murder of Eovi Hurried to Headquarters, This fear was not justified, as Governor Durbin of Indtana has said he approved of the action. They were taken from the train at the Archer avenue crossing and in & patrol wagon were hurrfed to the city hall. They were taken Into the office of the chict of police und there, in the presence of Mayor Harrison and a number of ofi- cers, they discursed the events of the day @8 calmly as though it had been nothing unusual for them. None of the prisoners showed_any bra- vado, and did no boasting. They showed not the slightest hesitancy 11 confessing to thelr crimes. Their demeanor was that more of hoys who had becn caught piifer- ing. Van Dine talked freely, showing by word and manner the courage he showed in the fight. Niedermeter did no talking. When Van Dine sald, “He, Pete here, shot Drigenl," Niedermefer locked up, smiled s'ightly, ana Temarked, “Yes.

I'll show no picture looking Ifke this." Van Dine again talked of his surrender. “I wanted to mee my friends before T went,” he sald. “We've got mothers like other people. ain't we.

They were black against the snow and didn't know eénough to take cover. It would have been nothing but target practice to Kill them." Roeski Captared Later, Following fresh footprints in the snow from the scene of the capture of Nieder- meler and Van Dine, Fred Miller, John Dil- lon, Charles Hamilton and Hugo Kemp, residents of Hast Tolleston, Ill., captured Emil Roesk! sitting on a bench in the Wa bash station at Aetna, Ind,, north of Liver- pool. ! The arrest was made at 4:15 p. m., shortly after Roeaki had missed a train to Chicago, He was unarmed. T™e bandit was identified by Hugo Kemp, who was a witness of the murder of Brake- man Sovea, and told the following story of | the affalr:.“I was standing behind a loco- motive, near a sand pit In East Tolleston, talking to John Clifford, when I heard a man command Bovea to throw the switch or die. Hovea grappled with his assailant and attempted to wrest the weapon from Eim. The bandit shot Sovea In (he face, in- stantly killing him, "I had just returned from a hunt, and still had my gun with me. With this in hand I ran toward the bandit. He fired four times at me with his revolver, but none of the shots toak effect. He and his two companions entered the locomotiye and the train sped toward Liverpool. “I with a number of men went to Liver- pool and took up the trafl In the snow. The footprints led us a mile and a half rortheast to a corn shoek, In which we ccovered the bandits had teken refuge. sald Van Dine, ‘When They Were Captured. ‘Fred Miller then took charge of the base ond dirccted us to retire several yards, ‘" “Take no chaneces, hoot into the shock.’ “We were preparing to do so when we heard a volce from within the corn shock: ‘We surrender ' ~ “ “Throw up your hands and come out with your hands up,' Miller ordered ‘“Three revolvers were thrown toward us, and Van Dine. pleading for his )ite, and with both hands up, stepped into the open and sald: 'For God's. sake, boys, don't boys,' said Miller, 'Exclusive Styles and Fabrics.

None of the four desperadoes is over 2l years. The youthful bandits were concerned in many robberies, in which six persons were killed and five seriously Injured. Up to six months ago the exploits of the you'he since last year have had the police depart- ment of Chicago In a state of bewilder- ment. The list of the four boys' victims, killed and wounded, during the last year follows: Killed: Otto Baurer, murdered in holdup on July Adolph Johnson, murdered in a saloon robbery on August 6. James Johnson, motorman, killed in rob- bery”of Chicago, City Rail¥ay company & barn on August . Johnson was asleep on a bench in the office, was awakened by ihe shooting and was shot as he arose (o his et sancls W, Stawart, shot down without warning during the car barn robbery B. C.

Wounded: ¢, Lathrop, agent of the Chicago & estern at Clybourn Junction, Jim Gorsky, shot in an attack on his sa- logn on July . Henry Bichl, clerk, Injured in robbery of car barns on 'August 30. Willlam Edmund, clerk, shot and seri- ously injured during same robbery. Matthew Zimmer, in fight today. Thase crimes netted the highwaymen $2640. Emboldened by the success of the depredations and their apparent immunity from detection, outlawry on a wide scale had been planned by the four desperadoes. The holding up of railroad trains in Chicago was declded on. Dynamite being easily traceable they made a special trip to Crip- ple Creek, Colo, to secure the explosive. The scheme to hold up a train on the Chi- oago & Northwestern road was defeated by the company. Shortly afterward Marx be- came drunk and, on being arrested, told of the crimes. Detectives were detailed on the case, but no trace of the trio wns found. GEN. SHAFTER AND THE BEAR Portly Hero of Santlago Tickled Old Bruin and Got a Run for His Money. “Old Mitch,” the armorer over at the University of California, is the uncrowned Kking of the student body. The select few whom he delights to honor consider it a privilege to sit down In his office under tho gymnasium und hear the old ex-sergeant #pin off tales of life in the army. One day “Miteh” stuffed a cigar into his pipe— that is a favorite trick of his—and began to grow reminiscent. “Well, sir,” ‘began “Mitch,” “I havo hunted bears several times myself and I have seen others hunt them, but I will never forget the time that General Shafter went after blg game. I was with Miles then, up in the Yellowstone country, and Bhafter came through the post on a trip north. Shafter sald he wanted to get some bear hunting, and so Miles and a few of us took the geenral In an army wagon up on one of the forks, where wo knew the beasts were to be fonnd. After we had been on the road some hours we spotted an old she one and her cubs off on a little level flat some roas from the road. . We let the geperal take a shot at the bear, but he missed and she went off into the bushes. Nothing would do but that Shafter must go after her, so he started and the rest of us stayed in the wagon, o that he could have all the sport of bringing her down. Well, Shafter dis- apeared In the bushes and there was no noise for u minue, and then we heard u {#hot. We were just saying that the gen- eral must’ have made his kill when we heard a yell, and here comes Shafter. “He came out of those bushes on the jump, waving his gun and going over the high places like a rabbit. You know that must have been going some for General Shafter. Behind him about 100 paces was the she bear with her back numped up and | slapping at her sides as she ran. The | gencral was coming down hill toward us and was right in line with the bear, £o we could not take a shot at her without | being In danger of hitting Shafter. “Well, sir, the way General Shafter came down that slope was something to remem- ber. Finally he tore up to the wagon and we hauled him in over the tallboard. Then one of the men shot the bear. “When Shafter had got his breath some he turned to Miles and sald: ‘Mlles, I don’t think much of your new carbines out | here. They wauld not be of much good in a forced retreat’ And he broke the gun at the breech and showed Miles the empty | shell, which had lodged in the chamber."— San Francisco Call, —— A Hurt Never Hurts After Porter's Antiseptic Healing Oll is ap- plied.

ADVERTISES CURE FOR KAISER'S ILLS st that President Should Write Emperor Wil covery of Charconl Remedy for Onncer. NEW YORK, Nov., #.—President Roose- velt and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived at Jersey City at 7:% o'clock this morning. They proceeded at once to this city by the I'wenty-thid street ferry and were driven 1o the home of thu president's sister, Mrs. Douglas Robinson. President Ruosevelt came to the city to attend the funcral of his uncle, James K. Gracle. The prestdent was accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Dr. J. B. Stokes, his per- sonal physielan, and Captain Cowles of the navy. Commissioner Greene and a force of police met the president and a mounted detall escorted his carrlage from the Twenty-third street ferry to his eister's home on Madison avenue. After breakfasting at the Robinson home the president left the house and went to the late residence of Mr. Gracle on East Forty-elghth street, remaining there until time to go to the Church of the Holy Com- munion for the funeral services. At the head of the cortege were carriages contain- pall bearers. Then came a car- rlage containing the president and Mrs, Roosevelt Protectors With them fn the carriage was a detec- tive sergeant aud a secret service man, and 4 secret service man rode on the box with the driver. The hearse was followed by carriages containing the mourners, Policemen were lined along the route at very frequent intervals, The same cordon of mounted police escorted the president {hat had been detalled for the ride from the ferry. The police arrangements for the protection of the president were very effi- clent, more than 300 patrolmen being on duty about the block on which the church Is located. On the west side of 8ixth av nue, opposite the church, there was a sol line of patrolmen, standing shoulder to shoulder for a block and on the east side a similar detall of men. Around the entire block patrolmen were placed. at froquent intervals, shuttng off all traffic from Fifth avenue to Sixth avenue on Twentieth and Twenty-first streets. The middie of the street was kept open and the crowd, which assumed large proportions in @ short tjme, was kept close to the sidewalk. No one was allowed In the mlddle of the street. The president, with Mrs. Roosevelt, alighted at the main entrance and went quickly into the church. There was little excitement, the occasion Larring uny demonstration, The crowd by the time the cortege renched the church was so dense that in- gress and egress on the avenue was prac- tically impossible. Just prior to the ar- rival of the cortege a police Inspector no- ticed a man standing on the structure, leaning over the east railing dircetly over the entrance to the church. The man was ordered away. Afier he bad returned an Insolent answer to the inspector's question he departed. While the man.presumably had merely wished to get a-vantage polnt to see the president, the crowd, impressed by the elaborate police protection, looked upon the incident as a possible plot against the president, but there was no further dis- turbance. Everywhere, Another Crank, Just as the services were concluded a man who attempted to force his way to the president and hand him a letter was ar- rested. He gave his name as Arihur P. Deming, 6 years of age, of Jersey City. He said he was born in the 1 alted States end was the manufacturer of a medicine to cure every disease. When the president left his seat to leave the church he de- parted by a elde entrance, leading to Twentleth street. Deming had in some way been allowed to galn nccess to a small anteroom, and in that manner was directly in the president's pathway. Deming said later: “T handed the presi- dent the lotter and sald: ‘Please read this on your way out.' ** When Deming held out the letter the president took it and handed it to a secret service man. Deming was then pushed back and placed under arrest. He safd that he was A. R, Deming of 170 Broadway, and that he had a cure for cancer which he wished Emperor Willlam to try. He wanied President Roosevelt to write a let- ter to the emperor recommending the cure, The president was unruffied by the fn- cldent. With Mrs. Roosevelt he entercd is capriage immediately and was ariven o the Twenty-third street ferry, to take the train for Washington. . Deming was taken to the Tombs police court, Refore belng arralgned he sald: “I don't know why the president did not keep my letter instead of handing it over to a policeman. It Is a charcoal cancer cure that cannot fail. I wanted Mr, Roosevelt to write to Emperor Willlam recommending the cure to him." He Has a Record, It is sald that Deming Is the man who on May 19, 19%, appeared at the house of representatives in Washington and startled the house by suddenly shouting from the e — BABY COFFEE TOPERS, Were Given Cofee at 2 Years of Age. “My mother always gave her children coffee to drink from the time they were old enough to hold & cup, consequently I used it from the time I was 2 years old to my 18th year,” says & young lady of Potomac, L. “Although I never suspected it coffes was all this time undermining my health, and suddenly without any warning | was taken with nervous prostration.

Then my uncle, an old physiclan, came to visit us, and as soon as he had studied my case & little bit he said: * ‘Let me get you a'square meal.

Three or four policemen finally hustled him away and escorted him out- side the building. It Is also sald that last April he appeared at the White Star line ' pler as J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnesle and others were salling on the Cedrle preached a sermon to them. Deming was later committed to Bellovue hospital for examination as to his sanity. He told the magistrate a rambling story, in the course of which he sald that was in the clothing business In Oakland, Cal, | for twelve years, but for the last two years | he had been in New York and vicinity. He sald he had met every president from Grant to McKinley. The officers at the detective bureau said | the man appeared to be perfectly harmless and rational on every subject except that of his remedy. Nothing was found on him to Injure anyone. Deming told the officers that he depended on God to gulde him in his business affairs, The funeral service was conducted by Bishop Potter, Rev. Dr. Motte. Rev. H. F. Taylor, Rev. Howard K. Bartow and Rev, Henry H. Washburn of Oyster Bay. Among the floral ofterings was a cluster of roses and orchids, sent by the president. After completing and investigation into tie manner in which Deming galned en- trance into the church and reached the side of the president, Police Commissioner Greene sald he was not satisfled with the explanation given by the police In charge at the church and that he would place | Captain Cottrell on trial on charges of | falllng to make proper arrangements. Three detectives and two policemen who were on guard at the church will also be placed on trial Known in San' Franeisco.

Mr. Balfour defended themecretary of state for war, who, he said, had to face a more complex problem than that now be- fore the war minister of any other nation, on account of the vast scope of British territory. He blamed the liberal predeces- sors of the present government for their deliberate policy of starving the army, which policy had resulted in the difficulties experienced in the South African war, not- withstanding the efforts of the present government, which did its utmost to bring the army up to an efficlent standard. He contended that the army as framed by the union government, operating through Lord Lansdowne and Lord Wolseley, had per- formed a feat in South Africa that no nation had ever attempted or had ever carried out, but, he sald, no enthusiastic gratitude had been displayed to those who were responsible for this result.

But while the press is a constant temp- tation to the professional counterfeiter, and while $100,000 is enough to make every visitor to the fair stop and look and spec- ulate what he or she would do if all that money was his or hers, Treasury Agent Downing, who I8 In charge, walks calmly oft to his luncheon at noon, and as calmly to his hotel at night, without ever locking /up his treasure, or logking back, to see if some bold thief is not already 1aking away with it. The coining press weighs a matter of seven tons, and its theft would be no vest pocket affair; but how about the bills, in depominations of from $1 all the way up to the 810,00 variety, which rests behind no more secure cover than a sheet of glass? Bcarcely is there an hour in the day when there is not a crowd of people around the exhibit, and casting curfous and oftentimes envious glances at the crisp-looking new bills. What would be the result of a well di- rected brickbat, a quick grab for those big $10,000 gold certificates, another for the $10,000, silver certificates and several more kinds of $10,000 bills, not to mention the small fry, from $5,00 down? Or supposing some burglar carried off the whole frame- full, with Its $100,000 and more In govern- men* paper? To begin with, what could the thief do with his $10,000 bills? What could he buy with them? Who would change one for him? Not the banks, nor the cashiers of any of the department stores. No more could he use the $5,000 bills, nor the $1,000 bills. Only when he got down to the com- paratively small notes, $100 or less, could he try to spend them without almost cer- tain detection and capture. But Mr. Downing is not taking chances or even the §1 and 8 bills. He knows that the bills which are shown are printed only on one side, and that the Impression is made upon bond paper, and not upon the money paper with its silk fiber, which ex-Governor Crane makes by secret pro- cesses up iIn the Berkshires. The thief would find himself possessed of some of the finest impressions of the finest steel engraving in the world, but it would not buy him a cup of coffee or a ham sand- wich—the whole §100,000 worth of it.

Mr. Balfour said it was not his intention to apologize, because he did not consider that an apology was necessary, but when he found Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman and Lord Rosebery denouncing the present military polley, and thought of thelr own conduct of military affairs, he felt his gorge rise. He thought that for very shame the members of the Rosebery gov- ernment would have preserved a discreet sllence. He did not wish to minimize the magnitude of the miscalculation which had been made in South Africa, but it was a miscalculation of which the whole British military profession was alike gulity, if gullty is the word, and it was not due to the maladministration of the war office. In regard to the future, Premier Balfour asserted that he did not belleve a large army was required for home defense. The great military problem was the defense of the large Indlan frontier against the great, and, he was glad to think, friendly empire of Russia. For that reason he emphatic- ally replied to those who wanted Lord Kitchener in London at the head of the army, that the Himalay was where the general ought to be. In conclusion the premier maintained that conseription never had been and never could be used to defend outlying possessions. In the ultimate resort Great Britain must depend upon the free will of a free people. There was needed an elastic organization, able to utilize the enthusl- sm of the whole empire. He did not be- lieve that the empire would shrink from the making of necessary sacrifices, or be inadequate for the greatest strain its pa- triotism might endure, If only all the com- ponent parts of the empire could be har- monlously united for some scheme of de- fense not dependent upon the war office alone, but drawing its strength from all the great self-governing colonies.
