WAS CRUSHED

TO DEATH BY

2 COAL CARS

Earl Clark, aged 25, a brakeman in the local yard crew of the Pennsylvania railroad company, was almost instantly killed this morning at 10:45 at a switch at the Hoosier Drill plant when he was crushed between the bumpers of two cars of coal, which he was engaged in coupling. The beams caught him across the abdomen above the hips. The cars rebounded after colliding and Clark stood upright for a second before falling. Without moving a muscle or saying a word he died in ten minutes. J Clark, who was married, and lives at 215 North Fifth street, was working with H. E. Maule and E. R. Moore, two other members of the switching crew and they had been engaged in coupling up the car 8 on the siding at the east side of the Fifteenth street crossing. "When Clark stepped in front of an oncoming car, which was being pushed by an engine' to be coupled to a car standing on a switch,men who saw him say he suddenly stepped back, as the moving car drew close and kicked apart the. coupling devise of the stationary car to prepare it for the coupling device on the other car. His clothes appeared to catch on the end of the bumper, holding him until the oncoming car caught him in its vicelike grip. Fellow workers came to Clark's side and placed him on a stretcher secured at the Fourteenth street railroad office, but he died before the arrival of the amublance. Clark, who was affectionately known among his fellow workers and friends as "Smoky," was married two years ago. He leaves a wife, Hazel Clark, and a baby daughter, who is about eight months old. The wife was finishing up a washing this morning at her home, alone except for the baby, when a neighbor, who had been notified of the sad accident, broke the news to her. She was prostrated with grief. The remains will be taken Thursday to the home of the father, Charles M. Clark, 98 Ft. Wayne Avenue.

CHICAGO, May 1. Two efficient motorcycle policemen yesterday put a sudden damper on the ambitions of a gang of automobile bandits that apparently had started out to emulate in Chicago the series of crimes recently committed by the Apaches of Paris. Within four hours after the gang had beaten Into insensibility and robbed of $1,000 the cashier of a banking concern two motor policemen" had run down their chauffeur and extorted a confession from t'm. The disclosures made by this man are expected to bring about the arrest of the other members of the gang within a short time. The running down of the man who operated the thieves" automobile forms one of the most exciting episodes in recent police history and is regarded by Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler as a strong argument for the motorcycle force. Wild Chase Through Streets. The men who made the arrest. Detectives Bubach and Weber, had, in common with other members of the

department, been ordered to look out for an automobile of a certain description in which it was known the auto bandits had fled from the scene of their crime. They were riding Blowly on Ashland avenue near Twenty-sixth street when a car of that description passed. It was going north at a speed of about forty miles an hour. The two motor policemen swung to the sides of the street and took up the chase. The chauffeur saw that he was pursued and turned on more power. The motor policemen followed suit and began swiftly to overhaul him. At Twenty-second street Weber, almost alongside of the flying machine, got out his pistol and shouted to the driver to stop. The man instead of slowing up turned sharply in toward the curb, his idea being apparently to crowd Weber off the street and send him flying off his machine, perhaps to death. Policeman Makes Thrilling Leap. Weber, who had won the soubriquet of "Motor Cycle Mike of the police department,' saw that he was in a tight place, and instead of turning in with the auto kept straight ahead. As the two racing machines drew together and just before the front wheel of his cycle hit the side of the car, Weber leaped out of his saddle onto the running board of the auto. There was a short, sharp struggle. When it was over the chauffeur was

crumpled up in his seat, unconscious, with a dent in his skull inflicted by the butt of Weber's pistol. Then before the auto could careen into the curb, the policeman shut off the power -and steered the car into the middle of the street. Back in the road near the curb ly Weber's motorcycle, a tangled wreck. With the assistance of Dubach, who had also' leaped from his motorcycle info the car, Weber began staunching the blood that flowed from the unconscious chauffeur's scalp wound. The man's cap rolled into his lap. , Pinned to the inside of it was $100 in bills. "Dubach," said Weber, "I guess we've got somebody." With some difficulty the chauffeur was revived. Deserting his shattered cycle, Weber then took his seat at the wheel of the car and drove to the office of Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler. There confronted by the cap full of currency, the prisoner, who gave the name of James Mendel of 3858 West Twenty-fourth street, made a full confession of the part he had played in the robbery of the cashier.

Starts With Hold-Up at "L"Statlon. The victim of this crime was L. E. Steinbach, who is employed by the Schulza Baking company as cashier at the company's branch at 139 West Thirty-fifth street. He had been given $1,000 to deposiat in the State bank at Chicago and had gone to the Thirty-fifth street station of the South Side Elevated railroad company in one of the concern's deliver wagons. Steinbach walked into the station unmolested and passed through the turnstile. He then walked up the

! stairs toward the platform. As he

reached the landing in the middle of the stairB, two men leaped upon him. Steinbach fought back. One of the men beat him oyer the head with the but of a pistol and knocked him down. For a moment he was insensible. The other robber then snatched the satchel containing the $1,000 and the two darted down the stairs and out of the station. Steinbach's cries and the sounds of the struggle had been heard by the fare collector and persons on the street. The robbers, however, were able to get into an auto which was waiting for them and to outrun pursuit.

"Spooks" at the city building? Yesterday morning Albert Mull was locked up on the charge of drunkenness. Late in the afternoon Officer McXally went to the Jail and the prisoner was gone and the door locked.

He started to slate the man- bit found he had already been arrested and slated. Mull says he does not remember of being out of the jail.
