CHARGE SERIOUS PLOT

WANTED TO KILL SHEA

Declared at Trial of Teamsters President That hs Was to Have Been Made the Victim of Assassins Bullet.

Publishers' Press. Chicago, Dec. 22. A plot to assassinate President Cornelius P. Shea of the Teamsters Union, was charged by the defense today at the trial of the labor leader and seventeen of his lieutenants on a charge of conspiracy In connection with the big strike of Chicago drivers in 1903. The accusation was directed at Albert Young, a follower of Shea at the time of the strike but now head of the rival teamsters union. Young Is also under Indictment but, with three of his supporters, turned states evidence; and is trying by his testimony to send his rivals to the penitentiary. The four men were recently smuggled out of Chicago by the prosecution with the explanation that they were in danger of violence at the bands of members of the Shea faction. "We are able to show" said Attorney Brady, for the defense, , "that within twelve months Young connived at and assisted in a plot to assljiate Shea. ; That's why we want him brought back. We learned of this within 4S hours." "Young and some of his friends offered money to a slugger to put me out of the way," supplemented Shea. "What was they willing to . pay," was asked.

"It didn't get that far," answered Shea, doubling his fist. "The man wouldn't touch the job." : The effort to compel the return of the missing men will be continued Monday.

ORPHANS TO CELEBRATE Fine, Program is Being Arranged for Christmas Eve at the Wernle Home.

New Castle, Dec. 22, (Spl.) A story with a moral for women has

developed here. The story deals with absent mindedness or careless

ness and the lesson drawn from it

is that people who possess costly clothes and wish to keep them

should not throw them on the bar

gain table at a rummage sale.

Fair memiters of the Christian church held a rummage sale In the

basement of the church this week,

and it was well patronized by per

sons of a saving disposition, sometimes called "bargain hunters." All articles were "marked down below

cost in order to reduce stock," and

incidentally to replenish the church

treasury.

One woman who recently bought a cloak from a regular storekeeper for

$20 attended the rummage sale, and being warm, she took off her cloak

and thoughtlessly laid it on a count

er that was covered with articles for

sale.

Another woman, a "bargain , hun

ter," entered the' room and seeing the nice new cloak on the counter, said to herself: "Here's my opportunity

to get a real bargain." She wished

to buy a cloak for a friend, but did not care to pay a high price. The

'"saleslady," new to the business and

not having examined the stock, sold

the cloak for 73 cents, and the pur

chaser took her "bargain away."

Half an hour later, when the care

less woman who laid the cloak among the "bargains' was ready to

go home, she found it had disappear

ed. Then there was dismay and ex

citement in the church. Some of the

amateur "salesladies" went skirmish

ing in a hurrw but it required an

hour's time to find .the bargain.

Deaths and Funerals.

The theory is that Mrs. McWithey heard noises, got up, took a lamp and went down to find the cause. When she got there and found that there were burglars in the house, it is supposed that she fainted and that the overturned lamp set her and the house

on fire. The burglars, frightened by ; the noise and the flames, the authori

ties believe, fled with their booty, leaving the unconscious woman and little girls alone in the burning house.

important If True. New York, Dec. 22. Attorney General Halley of Missouri is credited with the discovery that the Standard Oil company has practically been dissolved In so far as it is in conflict with the federal laws. It is stated on good authority that evidence proving that the holding company known as the Standard Oil company of New Jerty has been dissolved will be presented by the trust attorneys when the government's suit for the dissolution ct the trust is begun in St. Louis In January. Officials of the Standard Oil company are emphatic In their denials when questioned on the reported dissolution of th trust. They Insisted that no change was contemplated and If it had been effected there would be no "reason for keeping it secret. I Connecting Link Franchise. New York, Dee. 22. The deadlock lasting three years over the granting of a franchise to the New York Connecting railroad waj broken when Mayor McCIellan and a representative of the company agreed on terms. This means that work on the $20,000,000 improvement which is to unite the Pennsylvania and the New Haven railroads by a belt line around Brooklyn and Ixmg Island City will go ahead soon after Jan. 1. The terms will go to tve rapid transit commissioners for final approval. According to the agreement the railroad is to pay 10 per cent more for the franchise than was provided for in the original terms. This makes the price of the franchise $1,237,500. Wage Increase.

fight promoters are much disgusted

with the treatment they have receiv

ed from Jefferies in their negotia

tions for a referee for the Gans-Her-man battle.

"It will be a long time before Jef

feries will be asked to officiate at a

fight before my club," said Match

maker Riley, soon after the conclu

sion of arrangements with Jack Welch to figure as third man in the

ring.

What Irritated the fight magnates was Jefferies failure even to notice

the offers from the Casino Club. "He might at least have had the courtesy

to answer my messages," added Riley.

The Herman men would have pre

ferred Siler to Welch but made no

strong objection to the latters selection. Welch has been acting as ref

eree In the West for several years and bears an excellent reputation for

ability and fairness. Though the odds in Gans favor are

holding up well there is plenty of

Herman money in ' circulation and

many big wagers were made today.

Adolph Marks, a prominent Chicago

lawyer and life-long friend of the kid

placed $2,000 against $6,000 on the latter, the Gans backer being James Garry, a Wall street broker who has

seen the negro fight several times and thinks he has no equal in his

class.

At least $10,000 more iar Herman

money will arrive from Cicago next

week in the hands of Sai Rotchield.

HERE is no special argument needed these days to

impress people with the fact that really good beer

is .beneficial to ones healtn. Almost everybody recognizes its value as a tonic. The real issue is GOOD beer and in this day of sciepfific brewing it is one's own fault if he selects a poor article of beer for home use. When one investigates the methods of brewing in vogue at the MINCK BREWERY it is plain that there is something gained in the scientific process as against the old methods.
