liad never agreed to furnish Hooso any
money to carry out the hitter's p.irt of the

That Hooso has never taught a class In the
college , nnd had Induced him to believe that
the men backing Hooso were financially re
sponsible , when , in fact , they were com
pelled to pay bills for him In order to keep
the enterprise going.
I Finally , owing to the stringency. Hooso
came forward and told them that ho was un-
nblo to proceed and asked to be permitted to
give up his lease of the building and sign a

was refused. Air. SIzer further expressed

Arrest of a Gang of Black Amazons in
Chicago.
WORK OF A NEBRASKA GENTLEMAN
While Itoliig Knlibctl or IIU Vnlimlilon J. C.
Johnson of XellKh TnUoi Occasion to
Arrange for the Capture
of the Thieves ,
CHICAGO , 111. , Feb. 18. [ Special Telegram
to TUB BEH. ] For years a gang of black
Amazons of that unsavory district of Chicago
cage known as the "Levee" have knocked
down and robbed passers-by at night and
in broad daylight. They have always
escaped because their victims , who were
mostly out of town people , have either
lacked the courage or the determination to
remain hero and prosecute. Passengers on
their way to the big depots In this district
have nearly always been the sufferers , and
it is estimated that the band has cleared
$150,000 in the last few years. All of them
are wealthy.
J. C. Johnson , 75 years of ago and a resi
dent of Neligh , Neb. , the latest victim , has
caused the arrest of the leader , Flossie
Alooro , and vows ho will send her and her
band to Joliet If ho spends the rest of his
life in Chicago. He is wealthy and says ho
can afford to send these women where they
bolong.
He told his story In the Armory , court to
day. He is a vigorous old man and the po
lice are happy In the belief that with his
aid in the case they can at last break up tills
gang. As ho told his story the old man , hat
in hand , was surrounded by half a dozen
black women.
Story of the Nrlir.inlum.
"I was going down to the Polk street
depot , " said Mr. Johnson , "and while passing
IDS Custom * House place was accosted by
throe colored women. They all laid hands on
mo and asked mo to come into the house. I
refused to do so , when ono of them grabbed
my hat and threw it Into the hallway. I
wont In after It and the woman followed mo.
She shut the door and then tore open my
vest and teen my pocketbook. I had if-12 in
the book. She took the money and throw
the pockctbook on the lloor. "
"Which woman took your money ? " asked
the court. The old gentleman turned around
and said , "That one , " as hn pointed to the
Alooro woman. The ncgress accused pro
tested her innocence , but Air. Johnson was
sura ho was making no mistake.
"Did the woman who robbed you call for
any other person ? "
"Yes , she yelled for 'Irene,1 , and some ono
came out on the stairway. "
Irene was also arrested on complaint of
the old gentleman , charged with robbery.
Her case was continued until February 31.
The other Inmates of the house were likewise -
wise arrested on Air. Johnson's complaint.
Their cases wore also continued.
Sadlo Johnson , who was an inmate of the
house , testified against the Alooro woman ,
"I saw Flosslu Alooro In the hallway with
this man , " pointing to Air. Johnson , said the
Johnson woman. "I afterward saw her come
up stairs and give the pocketbook to Susan
Uedmond , who runs the houso.

pocket bnifo was found on her parson. She
was immediately booked for assault and car
rying concealed weapons.
"I have other warrants In my pocket for
this Moore woman , " said Detective Woold-
ridge , who arrested her , "but- cannot servo
them , because she is already locked up. I
suppose this woman alone has stolen $50,000
during her life on the Lovco. "
Justice Lyon thought there was a pretty
strong case against the Moore woman and
held her to the grand jury under $3,000
bonds.
"I Intend to push tills cas.i as far as lean , "
said Air. Johnson in speaking of the robbery
to n BUB reporter. "I am now making my
homo with my son at 70:5 : Warren avenue , but
my residence Is at Nollgh , Nob. I shall not
allow any visits I may h.ivo to make to the
west to Interfere with my prosecution of this
robbery caso. If 1 can bo the means of
breaking up this gang of fcmalo thieves
who infest the Lovco district I am going to
do so. I was surprised to know that n man
can bo robbed hero In daylight. I know It
now , however , and I will make this woman
suffer If I can. I" cannot positively Identify
any of the other women , but I know the ono
who robbed me. "

latest Order.
Comptroller Olson several days ago issued
to the employes In his department an order
that tends to increase the intensity of the
Internal dissension that is noticeable to
m any In his ofllco.
Air. Olson dropped a note to each cmploya
telling him that In the future ho may not
leave the ofllco , except for natura 1 causes ,
without permission from the chief , and that
this rule must bo lived up to. The story
of the order leaked out , ns such things
will , and when a reiwrter Inquired of
Mr. Olson whether It was true he said it
was not. Ho quitted the reporter's presence ,
went Into his ofllce and read the riot act to
his force of assistants for daring to repeat
that they had received such an order. Ho
oven threatened to discharge the man who
had mentioned the fact.
The story of Mr. Olson's order did not
come from any of his clerks. It has been
the subject of unfavorable discussion in the
city hall for two days
DENVER SWITCHMEN.
Union I'ltflllo Mon Asking for a Higher
.Schedule.
The Union Pacific switchmen at Denver
are agitating an increase in wages , and of
course there are rumors of trouble. General
Manager Dickinson said yesterday :
"It is true the men at Denver want
a higher schedule and have hold two
conferences with the local ofllclals , but
the matter has not been oniclally brought to
my attention. Wo are now paying wages
upon the Chicago basis , but the action of
the men In the Chicago yards In demanding
an increase has evidently had its inllucnco
upon the men in the Denver yards. The
Chicago roads say they will not Increase the
scale and the matter , so far as the Chicago
switchmen nroconcerned , ends there. What
further action they will take of course Is
unknown.
"It has always been the policy of the Union
Pacific to my good wages , but should tha
Denver switchmen obtain an increase say of
15 per cent you can readily see what effect It
would have uxm | the 8,000 miles of railroad in
cluded In the Union Pacific system. Wo aim
to treat with the mea In the employ of
the Union Pacific upon a conservative
hauls , believing they have rights which
must bo maintained. But should an ad
vance bo granted to the Denver switchmen ,
there Is nothing to prevent the Omaha
switchmen from asking an Increase , the
same at Cheyenne , Ogdcn and other points
on the lino. Wo have a very exemplary lot
of men at Denver , the same at Omaha , but
they do no more work than the men in the
Chicago yards , who are working all the
time. "
ANOTHER REBELLION.
The NorlInvent Devlnrex War on the Street
Cur Hyutuiu ,

About sixty of them mot last night at the
store of Bishop & Osborn on Alllltary avcnuu
and enlisted for the war. They agicod on a
formal demand to bo made upon the enemy
and named a band of six to lay It before tha
company and Insist on satisfaction.
These people want open cars for the sum.
mcp and bettor cars at nil times , They ask
for more trains between 7 and 8 in the
morning and between 0:20 : and tl30 ; in the
evening , and they want transfers from the
Walnut Hill line to the other city lines. If
these demands nro not granted the hlllltos
will appeal to the city council and fight U
out on that llnu If it takes all summer.
