THE TIMES. December 28, 1912.

AGO

FIREBUG

ARRESTED

Sergeant Mike Gorman of the East Chicago police department has gone to Springfield. Mo., to bring- back to this city John Latusiewicz a tailor who un- I til a short -while ago conducted a tailor shop at Melville avenue and One Hun- ' dred and Forty-ninth street, but who on Monday last took French leave, leaving .

in his wake a number of worthless rhecks for which he had received cash from various sources. There Is a double charge against Latusiewicz, that of passing- forged checks and arson. It is alleged that twice within the past thirty (Jays the tailor was guilty of setting fi'-e to his place of business, with a hope of realizing on the insurance. The first time the blaze was put out by a police officer and the second time the fir"; department was called to the scene of the blaze. In each Instance evidences of the work of the fire bug were manifested, by the presence of quantities of oil oaked rags and other debris which had bee-n conveniently disposed to feed the flame. Falling in this and evidently wishing to get away from Oklahoma, by fair means or foul, the tailor tried the forged check route on which there are always plenty of suckers. He managed to pass between $200 and $300 of the worthless paper on buiness men of his neighborhood and then got out of town. The East Chicago police trailed him to Chicago and found that he had left that city for Omaha. The Omaha police ascertained that a man answering Latuslewlcz's description had left Omaha for Springfield, Mo., and they wired the polile department there, with the result that the fugitive was. soon In

custody. He has confessed his Identity and will waive extradition. The case was not an easy one to handle, and the local police are congratulating themselves and the departments who rendered them assistance on a clever capture.

tience had ceased to be a virtue and locked him up again. It was not long before he was once more balled out and three hours later while crossing the old city park on his way to the police station. Chief McCormaek came upon the prostrate form of a man, lying- face down on the ground. Fearing the man would freeze, the chief picked him np and carried him to the station. As he turned htm over the chief recognised the little alderman from Indiana Harbor. By this time he was dead to the world and In no condition to be bailed out.

t When Judge Walter J. Tilley took the ; bench yesterday morning, the prisoner

! was brought, before him for trial. He

was too much under the influence of liquor however to be given a hearing and Judge Riley InstrucYeU the police not to allow him his liberty until ho had entirely recovered from his condition.

scandal that was about to break over

his head on account his alleged immoral conduct toward boys and girls. Anticipating criminal charges, Frico telephoned from Chicago this morning to Attorney J. 1. Kennedy asking him to defend him. In case charges would be preferred, but Kennedy declined. No charges will be preferred as It is understood that, the parents of the children whom Frl -e Is said to have mistreated want to avoid the notoriety of legal proceedings. Mayor SchlieKer to whom the father of a little girl complained when he found a letter ald to have been written by Price, Instructed Chief of Police McCormlck to errest the lawyer, if he did not leave town. Price is said to have learned that the father of the aforementioned girl threatened violence, and that he left town at once. The lawyer r.as been a resident of East Chicago for three years. Apparently he had little business, and It was a matter of comment today that boys ranging between the ages .of 8 to 13 were frequently seen In his company.

Alderman "Jimmie"'Burns of Indiana Harbor ran amuck day before yester- , day with the result that he was arrest- 1 eJ three times In two days. He visited the Indiana Harbor police station early Thursday morning and it was evident he had been drinking. He spent most of the day at the station abusing the officers and the department in general and by eight o'clock in the evening he became so abusive that Sergeant Barker could not stand it any longer and locked him up. He was balled out by Alderman Buckley and early yesterday morning he paid a visit to the East Chicago station, and began to tell Sergeant John Weifenbach what he thought of the department. Sergeant Weifenbach, judging from Sergeant Barker's experience with the alderman the day before, decided pa-

Dun's Review will say today

"The week virtually closes the busi

ness activities of the year and It Is

most notably gratifying In a record of

Christmas trade heretofore unequaled. Money continued In wide but healthy request, despite high cost, and the Interest In January Investment reflects confidence i the outlook. "Bank clearings, $268,513,775, exceed those of the corresponding week last year by 12.1 per cent, and compare with $223,404,817 in 1910. "Failures reported In the Chicago district numbered 28, against 34 last week, 21 In 1911 and 22 In 1910. Those with liabilities over '$5,000 number 10, against 9 last week. 11 In 191 and 4 ; In 90."

Marshall Field & Co., in their weekly

review of the dry good trade, today will say:

"The holiday business closed strong on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Nsw business coming in since Christmas day indicates that retailers are

anticipating that business will con tinue good."

'So far as prices are concerned no

changes of consequence are expected

within the next few months. Consun-

rs have been buying their stel on a rising price basis, and manufacturers wiJl do everything they can to protect these

buyers. In. other words. It is not likely they would sell-steel to belated purchasers at- pirces below the quotation that have prevailed over the last tour months. - "There is a difference of opinion as to the showing the steel companies will make in the matter of tonnage for the first quarter of next year. Certain manufacturers look for a falling off, due to pending tariff legislation and the traditional lull following a heavy period of buying. It must be remembered that the United States Steel corporation as well as the Independent companies, has more business on Its books than at any time in the history of the steel Industry, and that a lull

after the heavy buying which has been under way for the last eighteen months. Would be quite natural. In the event of moderate tariff legislation, so far as Its application to steel duties is concerned, manufacturers look for a revival of buying on a larae scale in the last half of 1913." i

Headed by a delegation of Gary citizens the Gary executive will take the bill to Indianapolis where It 'will be

STEEL BUSINESS III GOOD SHAPE

An eastern authority sums up the steel situation at the moment as follows: "The steel companies have sufficient busines son their books to warrant the statement that activity, so far as production Is concerned, will contlhue for the next six months. The mills are operating: to full capacity, and specifications against existing contracts continue brisk. "Orders since the first of December have been coming In fairly well, considering the season of the year, but. In

the. aggregate, they show a falling off compared with October and November. In this connection, however, H would seem that the United States Steel corporation Is getting more business than the Independents. The latter , will report a falling off in unflleld tonnage, whereas the steel corporation for the month of December is likely to show an increase. '
