Policeman Charles Smith is suspuiotis of the actions of two detectives who were questioned by him at the scene of the. shooting soon after it occurred. One of the detectives had no revolver and acted peculiarly. Smith claims. His theory is that the detctie might have been in pursuit of a criminal and shot the wrong man. Meanwhile the Chicago polite are at work on another angle. Witnesses have reported that one of the two men wno stopped trie (women was f.eeing from the other j man and sought protection and that ! Schaub was mistaken for him and killed. Schaub died on the way to St. Margaret's hospital. The remains were taken to the Burns' morgue. The Burnham police held Vlctpr Volkovitch in connection with the shooting. Volkovitch claimed that he had been assaulted with the butt end of a gun in the hands of n unknown man who had attempted to rob him and was running away when he came upon the two women. He has a wound in the head which beats ut hla story of an assault. The funeral is to be held from the late residence Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock to the Hessville cemetery, the Rev. Theo. Claus officiating. The Red Cross the symbol of a cause wide as the world and high as Heaven. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY

And now comes the H ndersh -1 Shows and, through nt!nr or error or ignorance on the part of some one who should have looked up the matter of license before the eontract was signed, they have slipped in and begun to unpack before hardly any one knew of the matter The situation wa.i brought to the attention of Chief S; russ this morning and he at once sent the patrol to bring the manager of these shows to the station. In the chief's office he said that the matter of license was to have been taken 't are of by the Italian committee. He wa. stold that the city was not granting m-e.ises of this nature. As a matter of fact, the state licence of $5 per day for each attraction and the dty license of $ per liy for each attractions would meat; a daily license f e of $09 for this company. This wo ild h absolutely prohibits e. Several weeks ago the thnmber cf commerce to'-k a stand against licensing carnivals to operate in the city and a letter to Mayor Callahan brought the reply that the mayor and city officials were in hearty sympathy with the stand taken by the chamber. Since then n " license have been Eianted The Italian committee made an effort about ten-thirty to fix up the matter but were informed that it was impossible and that the carnial company would have to move on. Four hundred pounds cf tool steel suddenly vanished into thin air Saturday in East Chicago. At one minute it was on an Hastings Express truck, placed there by four men. At the next it. had risen into the hazy nebulae of a hot summer's day and floated airily out into the unknown. Leastwise it is lost, as completely as if swallowed by some gigantic Icthyosaurus of prehistoric times. And the thief thus far has escaped custody. The solid bar of steel, ten feet long, four inches square at the end and uniform throughout, weighhig 400 pounds, wa loaded at the pdlatform of the Hastings Express about 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The driver was M. E. Smith. He says that he drove straight to a grocery store Just south of the Michigan Central tracks on Columbia avenue. Hammond, and that when he arrived the bar of steel was not on the truck. With'n twenty minutes after the load had left the platform searchers were out looking for it. It was not in the road, nor along the way at the side of the road. No mysterious giants had been

The bar of jiteel was on its way to I loess Bros., Hammond, where an order nad been placed to have it made up. Considering the fact that it was neither volatile nor soluble and never had given evidence before of being bewitched, the disappearance of this huge piece of heavy steel is thus far enshrouded . in mystery.
