WOMEN RAILRIDERS
Fined $100 Each B-cause They Placed
One of Own Sex on a Rail and
Rode Her Out of Town.
WAUKEGAN, 111., Feb. 5.—The five
women charged w'th assault because
they had run a neighbor out of the
county by riding her on a rail for
several miles and then ordered her
to leave the state, were convicted here
today of the offense and fined $100
each. Civil suits are also pending,
against the women for large sums as
damages.
The five women gathered at the
home of the prosecuting witness at
night, forced her to leave her hus
band, who was crippled, placed her
on a rail with but scant clothing and
gave her a rail ride which she will
remember for many a day.
The husband tried to defend his
wife, in spite of the fact that the
mob told him she had been unfaith
ful and that it was because of this
unfaithfulness she was being run out
of town. He re'used to believe them
and promised that he would prosecute
the mob if it took his last dollar.
Nothing daunted, t’ ey went about the
work of driving the woman out of
town, but were arrested soon after
and were fined today.
The crippled husband was the lead
er in the prosecution and paid private
detectives to secure the evidence up
on which the mob of railriders were
convicted. He sat with his wife din -
ing the trial.
FIND LIFE-BUOY
FROM STR. KARLUK
School Superintendent Lopp Says One
Was Found by School Teacher
Near Kivalina.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—Superin
tendent Lopp, of the Department, of
Education in Alaska, reported today
that he had received a telegram from
the school teacher at the government
school near Kivalina river, on the
Arctic ocean, in which it is stated
that a life preserver was found at
the mouth of the river with the name
Karluk printed on it.
The message was sent from Nome.
Explorers place but little reliance
on the finding of the Karluk’s life
preserver at Kivalina as indicating
the fate of the vessel, because the
life preserver was found just north
of Kotzebue sound, while the last
seen of the Karluk was when she
was driven from her winter anchor
age in November, 300 miles east of
Point Barrow, near Flaxman islands.
Steffenson and four companions were
left on shore when the ship blew
away, as they were on a caribou
hunting trip at the time.

nation.

tion amended so as to make it a uni
versal law' in all the states.

WANTS STATUE
IN UALL OF FAME
McDevitt Reaches Washington With
Own Statue and Asks Congress
to Place It in Capitol.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—John T.
McDevitt, of Pennsylvania, who se
cured much newspaper notoriety a
year ago when he went to N -w York
with a big roll of money made in
the oil fields and for a few days lived
liek a millionaire, reached this city
today, bringing with him a statue of
himself which he will ask congress
to accept and place in the "hall of
fame” along with Washington, Lin
coln, Webster, Clay and other great
Americans.
Following McDevitt was a mob of
parasitic friends, howling and cheer
ing as the procession left the railroad
station for the capitol. The door
keeper at the capitol refused to ac
cept the statue and it was left on
the lawn near the main entrance of
the building.
McDevitt spent several days in New !
York acting, as he thought, a mil - j
lionaire would act. He spent one |
hundred thousand dollars in a week ]
and returned to his home broke. He i
persued the route of wine, women j
and song, gave tips of hundreds of
dollars, spent money like water, and !
bought outright floral establishments ;
and sent the flowers to actresses or
to hospitals, as the mood struck him.
AGAINST GUNMEN
First Annual Report of Secretary
j
Wilson Condemns the Practice of |
Hiring Strike Guards.
WASHINGTON'. Feb. 5.—Secretary
William B. Wilson, of the Department
of Labor, issued h's first annual re
port today and in it he strongly con- '
demns the maintenance of armed ,
guards by the owners of property |
while a strike is in progress. The;
secretary, in his report, slates that
the presence of the guards causes ’
outbreaks on the part of (lie strik
ers and irritates them to such an ex
tent that they attempt the work of
destruction, wher as if no guards
were placed on the ground by the
owners they would never make any
attempt to injure property.
The report is highly commended
by the leaders of organized labor,
while the Manufacturers’ Association
and other organizations of capital are
equally as strong Li opposition to the
plan of preventing the protection of
property . by the owners during a
strike, especially when the state or
city authorities refuse or neglect to
properly police the strlk|, zone.
