The body of Krusaka was taken to Sadowski's morgue, Commercial avenue, where the Inquest was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Krusaka was married and leaves a wife and eight children.

BABY SHOWHAKES 11 HIT Lawn Fete on South Side Success Socially and

Financially. The lawn fete and babv show triven yesterday afternoon and evening at the home of Dr. W. J. Xixon Davis, 7539 Coles avenue, was a erpHt Kiiccfsa bnth from a social and financial standpoint. The festivities in the afternoon began at 1 o'clock and the proud mothers with their handsome children began placing them in rows for the judges to select the most beautiful child. When the twenty-five babies were arranged the judges. Frank MeCauley and Walter Brown, made their appearance and after over an hour's deliberation announced to the ladies that they were unable to make a selection and offered to compromise the matter by awarding each child a blue ribbon, which was done. Speaking of the affair. Mr. McCauiey and Mr. Brown said: "Really, we were at a loss to pick the handsomest baby and I think that by giving each a blue ribbon we did the right thing, for every one seemed pleased." The twenty-live babies were photographed and photos will be for sale by the ladles of St. Margaret s guild. A delightful luncheon was served on the lawn in the afternoon and it was the intention of doing the same thing in the evening, but the inclement weather prevented and the evening's functions were held indoors. The evening program consisted of songs, short speeches, concert music and selections upon the piano. Al Mohr. 730S Bond avenue, made the hit of the evening with a song of his own composition. Mr. Mohr was compelled to respond twice to the encores. The affair was given under the auspices of the Indies' Guild of St. Margaret's church for the purpose of raising funds for the erection of a new church in Windsor Park. A large amount of money was realized from last evening's affair and the ladies are very jubilant over the success of their undertaking. BOOTS H1SASSA!LANTS Anthony Tell Puts Four Would-be Robbers to Flight. Four young men were arrested yesterday morning by the Woodlawn police, accussed of attempting to rob Anthony Tell. Zr, years old. D31S Lyons avenue, a laborer, at Ninety-second street and the Illinois Central tracks late Saturday night. The prisoners are: KENNETH L. BANKS. 20 years old, 720ti Evans avenue, who sayse he is a telegraph operator. EAKI, F. UEAIH, 10 years old 57S9 Sangamon street. DANIEL GARVIN. IS years old, 16S8 West Eighty-eighth place. ARTHUR DINGER. 20 years old, 900 Dauphin avenue, a florist. According to the police. Tell was walking along the railroad tracks near Nineyt-second street, when the prisoners commanded him to hold up his hands. Tell, who Is a strong muscular man, drove off the men, saving his watch and $5 in cash. The prisoners ran north on the railroad tracks and were pursued by Ttell. The police declared the prisoners stopped Tell, but said they were onlyjoking. This is the third time that robberies have occurred within a week at this place and the police protection is inadequate, and this is supposed to have been the cause of all the robberies at this point. The cases of the four young men will be heard today before Judge A. J. Petit in the Hyde Park branch of the municipal court. TEAMSTER TO RESCUE Snatches Fainting Woman From Tracks as Car Approaches. A woman fainting, a street car coming at full speed down the track and a tragic rescue tells a story in a brief way that occurred yesterday noon at Seventy-fifth street and Stoney Island avenue. Miss Pearl Layman, who was waiting for a car on the corner of Stony Island avenue and Seventy-fifth street, fell in a dead faint, falling upon the street car tracks and directly in front of an onrushing Yellow Line car. Just as the car was a few yards from her, James Hauum, a teamster, who was passing by, jumped from his wagon and picking her up took her to one side where she was soon restored to consciousness with the aid of Ice water procured from a nearby store. While there is no doubt but what the motorman could have stopped the car without striking the young lady the affair was marked with the dash and vim that Is shown when there is real danger, and Miss Layman was profuse in her thanks to Mr. Hauum for his timely rescue. Possibly a romance is spoiled by the fact that Hauum Is married and is living with his wife and two children at Thirty-fifth street and Indiana avenue. Miss Layman, who is 19 years old, lives with her parents in Normal Park.

Thomas Taggart and all the rest of 1 the democrats, with their friends and families, were taken yesterday to the ' Continental Divide, or the "Blackhone" , of the continent. They went 11,060 1 feet higher than the sea level. The air was, to say the least, very thin. There was considerable silence in the party. It v, s too much of an effort to talk. The result was this "unkindest tut of all," fro., a certain republican who was in the par'y and who was recently identified with the -n vent Ion in Chicago were only here."

It was packed to the doors' He appeared on the stage and there were cheers for fifteen minutes, perhaps more. He waited calmly. Then he raised his hand (right hand) and there was silence. All waited expectantly and Bryan got this off: "And this is Boston?" They say it brought a mighty cheer and many votes. Perhaps Boston did not see the real joke. Roger C. Sullivan of Chicago, the man who has attained the term of "Poss" in Chicago actually smiled a smile of enjoyment today. Some one handed him a paper or something that bad this written on it: "Roger C. Sullivan's brother is a member of the Chicago automobile party on its way now to Denver. They are using his face for a danger light on the rear machine. The Nebraska sun has put a glow on It Admits He Is Thief. T am a thief and have been in jail in every Ptate in the I'nion but I have never stolen anything from a poor workingman," so said a man as he retcrned a pocket book containing $40 which he had seen Fredrick Uovin drop in front of a store.

EVERY DAY THIS

CONVENTION CROWD that pales into insignificance the harvest moon. He tried cold cream, but it fried an egg." Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleveland, is W. J. Rryan's choice for chairman of the democratic national committee. Mr. Bryan has not committed himself on the subject, but he has shaken his head when the names of others were mentioned for the place. The remainder of the slate favored by Bryan for the Denver convention is as follows: For permanent chairman, Henry D. Ciayton of Alabama: for chairman of the resolutions committee. Governor Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma, or Ji;dson Harmon of Ohio. Anti-Wall street democrats have their hammer out strong for Johnson in the west. The first real story of a knocking" kind which has come to light was exploded today when James Mahan arrived In Denver. He has pitted himself against James J. Hill. "I am here to puncture the Johnson loom, hut not as an emissary of Bryan," ! he. said. "I make the charge that it is iii behalf of James J. Hill and men 'of his kind the Wall street interests jthat this Johnson campaign is run. I jmake no accusations, but I ask this: Who put up the money to maintain j Johnson headquarters In New York and Chicago since nine months ago, and jwho lias ben distributing such wads since?" Mr. Mahan does not go to the extreme that some of the men responsible for the Wall street story have gone. It has been declared that Wall street has posted $7ri0,00fl as a campaign fund. Bryan Is willing to stay at home during the campaign or to undertake a speech-making tour of the country, just as the national committee decides. In D96 he traveled IS.OrtO miles, made 600 speches and addressed 5,000,000 persons In 100 days. He was the candidate of thre parties for the presidency In that campaign. terday for their home.
