A 1Itt newspaper for people who are till on earth that's what THE IT WES

T was Just sn ordinary looking lunch-box made of black

rapier maclie, but Tommy Grant, police reporter on The Chronicle, meant to prevent with its help if he could another puch horror as the Quadrangle shirtwaist factory Pre that cost the lives of some forty girl

employees. Perhaps it would mean more than that, for the press is pretty powerful. "Now, you understand what I want you to do," he said to the little srlrl worker on "Hyde's Nonpareil Shirtwaists." whose acquaintance he had made the evening before. They were sitting In a small park near the Hyde factory. The girl her nam was Minnie 'Mason she had told him nodded, but looked very dubious. 'I get you, all right," she said, "but suppose I get caught? They'll fire me sure." "If they do The Chronicle will look after you," he promised. "How aoout it, will you help me?" She hesitated a moment lonper, and took the lunch-box. "Yep, I'll do it- Sea you outside Hyde's tonight. I gotta blow now, it's gettin' late." She hurried away, and Grant glanced at his watch. It was nearly 12.30, and there was time to drop in and see his old friend Chief Halloran, of the fire rlepartment, whose station was not many blocks distant, before taking up his next assignment. The grizzled old "smoke-eater" greeted the reporter genially and offered hitn a chair. "Weil, me boy, and what's Coin' these days?" he demanded. "Oh. nothin' much." returned Grant professionally. "Say, chief, what d'you know about that Jasper Hyde pJace over on " and he named the street and number. The old battalion chief grunted dis

gustedly. "I know a lot, and nothin' good." he said. ."Why?" "Oh, I was in there yesterday giving it the up-and-down." "And they let you out alive?" Tommy Grant grinned, and at once became serious. "J was having a bite in a dairy lunch around the corner," he explained, v"and heard a girl say something about their being locked in during working hours. That sounded interesting, so I followed her back to the place and did a little investigating." Halloran. looked surprised. "They let you in?" "Seeing there wasn't anybody to object, T ran myself up in the freight elevator.

Say, that's just about the worst fire-trap I ever saw, chief! Narrow, twisting wooden stairs: pile of excelsior and cotton scraps under 'em, and the work-room is on the top floor to "boot. One of these davs a fool workman Is going to drop a lighted cigarette butt in that truck, and then good night!" "I know," paid the chief somberly. "And to make it more exciting they bar and padlock the two doors that lead into the work-room: and Hyde's office doors fasten with spring locks that are worked from inside. If anything does break loose those poor girls will have about as much chance as a fish in a frying-pan. Why, even the fire-escape is so shaky that I wouldn't trust an organ-grinder's monkey on it!" Halloran nodded. "It's even worse than I thought." he said. "But what happened? Didn't they see you?" "Yep, the foreman piped me off and brought Hyde in front his office. For a minute I thought there was going to be a rumpus big, surly-looking brutes, both of them. But I flashed my police card and they cooled down. Hyde took me into his effice and pulled a perfectly good building certificate on me that showed his factory had been properly Inspected and all that. It was signed by" "Henderson, or I'll eat my hat! the chief exclaimed. Tommy looked surprised. "How d you guess?"

He s the biggest crook and grafter of the whole bunch," declared the chief hotly. "But you can't touch him he's too solid with the 'powers that be.' " "Ifm. And seemingly I can't touch Hyde either, because-he promised a libel suit if I did. But oh, I don't know!" Halloran looked at him keenly. "You can't get in there again?" Grant t-ld him of his little ally, the factory girl. "She's the one that gave me the tip by telling another girl about it." he said. "I have a notion that If she nihes good I'll not only 'got' the estimable Mr. Hyde, but maybe somebody higher up." . "But how can she-' began the chief, and paused alertly. The "combination" bell of the fire alarm apparatus had begun rattling in a caJU "Four six nine It's Hvde'a, or I'll eat my hat!" yelled Halloran as he leaped into action. Grant ran outside the building and wait, ed tensely. In a moment the big hook-and-ladder auto-truok roared out. end the reporter swung himself up beside the chief, on the running board. The run was too short for the old fireman to bother with his red auto. And if his surmise proved to be oprrect there was need for his presence on the scene with the least possible delay. Siren wailing and bell clanging, the autotruok charged down the street and whirled around a corner, seemingly on two wheels. Ahead was a straight run to the fire-box, but no directions would be needed there. The fire was hi plain view. "Hyde's!" yelled Halloran, and Grant's heart leaped and dropped sickenirgly. He had never grown callous to a factory fire. He peered ahead eagerly, and suddenly groaned. Already he could make out the twisted remains of the fire-escape through the smoke that poured from the doomed building, and the tumbled heaps of clothing at the bottom. In the window whence it had fallen was a group of screaming, fighting girls. Beside him Halloran rapped out a savage oath. Hia experienced eyes had already gauged the distance from the side

walk to that window. "The extension ladder's too short!" he shouted above the clamor of their progress.

Instantly Grant sprang to attention. He

snatched a hooked "pomrey." the scaling

ladder that firemen use in an emergency, and scrambled with it up on top of the truck, shedding his coat as he went. "I'm the lightest of the bunch!" he

yelled. "I'll get out at the end of the extension, and you have 'em hoist "er as we

go!" He began to scramble backwards

along the big ladder, like a cat.

Slowlv but surely the huge ladder rose

vertically with Grant clinging to the end.

while the auto-truck scarcely slackened its speed. And then it slid to a stop di

rectly in front of the window. Holding the ladder firmly with his knees.

Grant reached up and managed to hook

the "pompey" in through the window. Minnie Mason was there, fighting like a tigress to keer the other girls from leap

ing out. And under her shepherding the girls started down the scaling ladder one

by one; scrambling over Grant, who held on grimly, half choked by the smoke, and

down to safety. Last of them came Mm nie. She was excited but self-possessed.

"Did you get them?" Grant demanded H9 he handed her down to the fireman

below him.

"Yes, but Hvde got wise." she answered

breathlessly. And then: "Oh, my Lord, I

forgot the lunch-box!"

Without wasting words Grant started

no the "pompey." "In my locker near

the elevator!" cried the girl, and he was In the smoke-filled, stifling room. . Bending low. he charged blindly. A few seconds' breathless search, arid he was back at the window, triumphant. Then a scramble down the scaling-ladder, with the box in his teeth; a leap to the exten

sion, and he had slid to the ground unhurt

"Ton you risked your life for the girl's

lunch?" cried Halloran. Grant grinned through a mask of grime.

"Photoerachs of Hyde's locked doors

that'll convict him, and maybe more," lit

gasped. "That's a trick camera!

LET US PROXE IT

At the board meeting of the Indiana

Equal Suffrage Association held at Logansport, December 6 and 7. from

which Mrs. Kate Wood Itay has just re

turned it was voted that the board

would recommend to its convention

amalgamation wHh the Woman's Fran-

hlse Leaguo of Indiana.

Committees of both organizations

have been working upon a scheme of get-together-ness since May of this

ear, and the action just taken Is a re-

ult of the final reports of these com

mittees.

Although the convention which is to

be willed should ca.rry out the recom

mendation of the exeu-tlve board it will

be impossible to effect an amalgama

tion prior to the next session of the

egislature. but the legislative com

mittees of both organizations will get

gether in order to present a unified

plan of legislation at Indianapolis.

in. 1. - Without any doubt.su (Trage will gain

much added momentum In the state as

result of this dtfeision, workers not

only in the state but in the national as

sociation have looked hopefully to

ward it for a long time and Mrs. Carrier Chapman Catt, president of the

national association, came to Indianap-

lis m June atit in an effort to con

summate it.

In the three and a half years . in

w hich Mrs. Itay has but n connecter)

with the state work, first as chairman

of the educational department and

aiter as press chairman, she has been

a persrsteni advocate and untiring

worker for the union of the two staf

organizations. She has been so devot

ed and enthusiastic a worker for th

cause mat sue has never yet, as the

women of all Indiana know, refused to

go and speak, no matter whether the request came from a group of women

tiMurevieu wnn ner own organization

or with the Franchise League.

vvitn a singlemindedness of purpose

sne nas worked incessantly for the up

minding or the "cause" of woman

suffrage, on all sides of Gary she is surrounded by organizations connected

with the other state association and ye'

she has appeared time and again be

fore those clubs making converts to

suffrage without regard to which or

f,n.i,u.Hi mey aimiaieu witn. As a

result of a speech before the Franchise

league of Elkhart a week ago twenty-

six women gave themselves to the

movement.

Mrs. Ray has developed a powerful

gift of oratory which reaches the

hearts of the people. Her personality is winning, her voice has a wonderful appealing quality and there are few but what capitulate to "ballots for both" after having listened to her.

Besides her work in the state asso

ciation she is also president of the

suffrage organization of her home city, the Gary Civic Service Club.

E. CHICAGO LAWYERS

ORGANIZE

For the first time In the history of

the city, the attorneys of East Chicago have laid aside all personal difference

and sectional jealousies and have unit

ed harmoniously in the organization of a Bar association, to be known technically as the Bar Association of East

Chicago and Indiana Harbor.

The meeting for organization was

held Wednesday evening of this week at Indiana Harbor and was well at

tended by the legal fraternity in both

ends of the city.

The following officers were elected:

Obe Ottenheimer, president; J. W. Bris-

Bey, vice president; and Marcus Herschovitz, secretary-treasurer. Two committees were appointed, one on constitution and by-laws, consisting of Attorneys Twyman, Brissey and Hem-

broff; and the other on legislation, con

sisting of Attorneys Van Horne, Roe and Ottenheer.

The next meeting will be held in the

Calumet building at the west end on

Friday evening, Dec. 15.
