A number of shot struck Van Dine In the
face and one struck him In the throat,
causing him trouble.
When they left the engine both men
were nearly dead and unable to travel. The
country at that place is rough, sandy and
cut up by gravel j Its, and traveling there
would soon exhaust a vigorous man, and
the two bandits made slow progress. The
officers wtro coming up fast and soon were
close on the fugitives' heels. It was easy
to track them In the new fallen snow Hnd
the hunt was spec.iily closed. Tho men
wete seen as they dodged about the sand
dunes and those who were armed with shot
guns opened fire. Nledermeler received a
charge in the head and the blood streamed
down his face and into his eyes, blinding
him so that he could hardly rise. One
graxed Van Dine s head and his wounded
leg was weakening. There was no escape
and it was evident to both men that the
time had come either to surrender or fight
to the death.
Vnrrllllus to Kill More.
Both men were heavily armed and able
to take more lives before both lost their
own, but as Van Dine said tonight In dis
rusHing his surrender: "There would have
been no good in that, as we never shoot
anybody unless we have to and killing any
of those fellows would not have let me
off. I gold to Pets, 'Well, what do you
hlnk?' Nledermeler nodded Ills head, put
up his guns, and that's how they got us."
Van Dine, who has served In the army,
shows military training In many ways,
waa full of scorn for the men who had
taken him.
-I could have killed no end of them." he
said. "They came walking along like a
drove of quail, and I could have covered
the ground with them. I had plenty of
cartridges, and I generally hit what I shoot
at. It wouldn't have done me any good, I
guess.'
Tho men were at once handcuffed, placed
upon -a tralr. and hurried to Chicago, the
city police Officers waiting Hot a tninute In
rushing them over the line into Illinois to
avoid possible clash with the Indiana'
police, who might have demanded the men
on account of the murder of Eovei.
Harried to Headquarters.
This fear was not Justified, as Governor
Durbln of Indiana has said he approved of
tho action. They were taken from the
train at the Archer avenue crossing and in
a patrol wagon were hurried to the city
hall. They wire taken Into the office of the
chief of police und there, In the presence
of Mayor Harrison and a number of offi
cers, they discursed the events of the day
s calmly at though It had been nothing
unusual for them.
None of the prisoners showed any bra
vado, nnd did no boanting. They showed not
the slightest hesitancy It confessing to
their crimes Their demeanor was that
more of boys who had been caught pilfer
ing. Vcn Dlno talked freely, showing by
word and manner tho courage he showed
In tho fight.
Nledermeler did no talking. When Van

time after Marx made his squeal, but were
coming back again. We Intended to come
In tonight and get some money so that we
could get away."
"I suppose that means," said Chief
O'Nell, "that you were going to commit
robbery ?"
"Why, sure, certainly," said Van Dine,
with a laugh.
In alluding to the other crimes of the
captives. Chief SchuetUer asked: "Who
killed Otto Bander?"
"All of us took a shot at him," said Van
Dine.
"Who killed the man at North avenue?"
"I don't know. I fired two or three
times."
"Who shot Qoorskl?"
"I shot him and Roeskl helped."
In answer to other questions about rob
beries of saloons, Van Dine generally re
plied, "I and Roeskl."
When told 'that the police wanted to take
his picture Van Dine replied: "Well, you
don't get It until my tace Is washed, r II
show no picture looking like this."
Van Dine again talked of hla surrender.
"I wanted to see my friends before I
went." he said. "We've got mothers like
other people, ain't w. Pete?" and Nleder
meler replied, "Sure thing."
"We fought until there was no chance of
getting away without further murder." said
Van Dine. "When we waa on that train I
could -have shot lots of those farmers.
They were black against the snow and
didn't know enough to take cover. It would
have been nothing but target practice to
kill them."

Record of the Bandits,
The record of the men captured, together
with that cf Oustave Marx, their companion
In crime, whose Information led to their
arrest, IS eight murders and many attempts
at murder. None of the four desperadoes
is over 21 years.
The youthful bandlta were concerned in
many robberies, in which six persons were
killed and live seriously Injured. Up to
six months ago the exploits of the you'hs
since last year have had the police depart
ment of Chicago in a atate of bewilder
ment. The list of the four boys' victims, killed
and wounded, during the last year follows:
Killed:
Otto Baurer, murdered In holdup on July
t.
Adnlph Johnson, murdered in a saloon
robbery on August 6.
Jirnes Johnson, motorman, killed In rob
bery of Chicago City Hallway company s
barn on August Ml. Johnson was asleep on
a bench In the office, wan awakened by ine
shooting and was shot as he arose to his
reet.
F.-ancIs W. Stewart, shot down without
warning during the ear barn robbery.
B. C. La Cross, murdered in his saloon on
August I.
Policeman John Qulnn, killed November
a while trying to arrest Marx.
T. J. Sovea, killed today.
Joseph Drlscoli, detective, now dying at a
hospital.
Wounded:
T. W. Lathrop, agent of the Chicago &
Northwestern at Clybourn Junction.
Jim Oorsky. shot In an attack on his sa
loon on July 20.
Henry Biehl, clerk. Injured In robbery of
car hams on August 30.
William Edmund, clerk, "hot and seri
ously injured during same robbery.
Matthew dimmer, in tight today.
Thae crimen netted the highwaymen
$2,510. Emboldened by the success of the
depredations and their apparent immunity
from detection, outlawry on a wide scale
had been planned by the four desperadoes.
The holding up of railroad trains In Chicago
was decided on. Dynamite being easily
traceable they made a special trip to Crip
ple Creek, Colo., to secure the explosive.
The schema to hold up a train on the Chi
cago & Northwestern road was defeated by
the company. Shortly afterward Marx be
came drunk and, on being arrested, told of
the crimes. Detectives were detailed on
the case, but no trace of the trio was
found.
GEN. SHAFTER AND THE BEAR
Portly Hero of Santiago Tickled Old
Bruin and Got a Run for
Ills Money.
"Old Mitch," the armorer over , at the
University of California, is the uncrowned
king of the student body. The select few
whom he delights to honor consider It a
privilege to elt down in hie office under the
gymnasium and hear the old ex-sergeant
spin off tales of life in the army. One
day "Mitch" stuffed a cigar into his pipe
that Is a favorite trick of his and began
to grow reminiscent.
"Well, sir," .began "Mitch," "I havo
hunted bears several times myself and I
have seen others hunt them,' but I will
never forget the time that General Shafter
went after big game. I was with Miles
then, up In the Yellowstone country, and
Shifter came through the post on a trip
north. Shatter said he wanted to gel
some bear hunting, and so Miles and a
few cf us took the geenral In an army
wagon up on one of the forks, where v.e
knew the beasts were to be found.
After we had been on the road some hours
we upotted an old she one and her cube oft
on a little level flat some rods from the
road. . We let the general take a shot at
the bear, but he missed and she went oft
Into the bushes. Nothing would do but
that Shafter must go after her, so he
started and the rest of us stayed in the
wagon, so that he could have all the sport
of bringing her down. Weil, Shafter dls
apeared In the bushes and there was no
noise for u mlnue, and then we heard a
shot. We were Just saying that the gen
eral must' have made his kill when we
heard a yell, and here cornea Shafter.
"Ho came out of those bushes on Jhe
Jump, waving his gun and going over the
high places llko a rabbit. You know that
must have been going some for Qennr.il
Shafter. Behind him about 100 pacea was
the she bear with her back numped up and
slapping at her sides as she ran. Tho
genoral was coming down hill toward us
and was right in line with the bear, so
we could not take a shot at her without
being In danger of hitting Shafter.
"Well, sir, the way General Shafter came
down that slope was something t'o remem
ber. Finally he tore up to tho wagon and
we hauled him In over the tailboard. Thon
one of the men shot the bear.
"When Shafter had got his breath some
he turned to Miles and said: 'Miles, I
don't think much of your new carbines out
here. They would not be of much good In
a forced retreat.' And he broke the gun
at the breech and showed Miles the empty
shell, which had lodged In the chamber."

Emperor William Telling of Dis

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Fresldent Roose
velt and Mrs. Rooeevelt arrived at Jersey
City at 7:80 o'clock this morning. They
proceeded at once to this city by the
Twcnty-ihlid street ferry and were driven
to the, home of thu president's sister, Mrs.
Douglas Robinson.
President Roosevelt came to the city to
attend the funeral of his uncle, James K.
Oracle. The president was accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt, Dr. J. B. Stokes, his per
sonal physician, and Captuln Cowles of the
navy. Commissioner Greene and a force
of police met the president and a mounted
detail escorted his carriage from the
Twenty-third street fen y to his sisters
home on Madison avenue.
After breakfasting at the Robinson home
the president left the house and went to
the late residence of Mr. Grade on East
Forty-eighth street, remaining there until
time to go to the Church of the Holy Com
munion for tho funeral nervlces. At the
head of the cortege were carriages contain
ln ,hB la bearers. Then came a car-
riage containing the president and Mrs.
Roosev elt.
rrotectors Kverytvhcre.
With them In the carriage was o. detec
tive sergeant and a seoret service man. and
a secret service man rode on tho box with
the driver. The hearse was followed by
carriages containing the mourner.
Policemen were lined alone tho route at
very frequent Intervals. Tho tame cordon
of mourned police escorted the president
that had bom detailed for the rldo from
tho ferry. The police arrangements for the
protection of tho president wtre very em-
dent, more than 3C0 patrolmen being on
duty about the block on which the church
I. located. On the west side of Sixth ave-
nue, opposite the church, there was a solid l
line of patrolmen, standinn shoulder to
shoulder for a block and on the east side
a similar detail of men. Around the entire
block patrolmen were placed, at frequent
intervals, shutting off all traffic from
Fifth avenue to Sixth avenue on Twentieth
and Twenty-first atreets. The middle of
the street waa kept open gnd the crowd,
wnicn assumea large proportions In a
short tjme, was kept close to the sidewalk
No one was allowed In the middle of the
street. The president, with Mrs. Roosevelt
alighted at the main entrance and went
quickly Into the church. There was little
excitement, the occasion tarring uny
demonstration.
The crowd by the time the cortege
reached the church waa so dense that In.
gress and egress on the avenue was praO'
tically Impossible. Ju.st prior to the ar
rival of the cortege a police Inspector no
ticed a man standing on the structure,
leaning over the east railing directly over
the entrance to the church. The man was
ordered away. After he had returned an
Insolent answer to the Intpector's question
he departed. While the man . presumably
had merely wished to get a -vantage point
to see the president, the-crowd, impressed
by the elaborate police prote;tlin, looked
upon tne mciuvnt as a possible plot against
the president, but there was no further dis
turbance.
Another Crank.
Just as Hie services were concluded a
man who attempted to force his way to the
president and hand him a letter was ar
rested. He gave his name as Arthur P.
Deming. 66 years of age, of Jersey City.
He said he was born In the t .llted States
end was the manufacturer of a medicine
to cure every disease. When the president
left his seat to leave the church he de
purtea ny a side entrance, leading to
Twentieth street. Deming had In tome
way been allowed to gain access to a
small anteroom, and In that manner was
directly in the president's pathway,
Deming said later: "I handed the pred
dent the letter and said: "Please read this
on your way out.' "
vnen ueming new out the letter the
president took it and handed It to a secret
service man. Deming wus then pushed
back and placed under arrest. He said
that he was A. R. Deming of 170 Broadway,
and that he had a cure for cancer which
he wished Emperor William to try. He
wanted President Roosevelt to write a let
ter to the emperor recommending the cure
Tho president was unruffled by the in
cident. With Mrs. Roosevelt he entered
his carriage Immediately and waa driven
to the Twenty-third street ferry, to take
the train for Washington.
Deming was taken to the Tombs police
court. i'.erore being arraigned he said:
"I don't know why the president did not
keep my i letter Inutead of handing It over
to a policeman. It Is a charcoal cancer
cure that cannot fall. I wanted Mr.
Roosevelt to write to Emperor William
recommending the cure to him."
He Has a Record.
It Is said that Deming Is the man who
on May 19, Vyx), appeared at the house of
representatives In Washington and startled
the house by suddenly shouting from the
BABY COFFEE TOPERS.
Were Given Coffee at 21 Years of Age.
"My mother always gave her children
coffee to drink from the time they were old
enough to bold a cup, consequently I used
it from the time I waa 2 years old to my
lbih year," says a young lady of Potomac,
111. ,
"Although I never suspected It coffee was
all this time undermining my health, and
suddenly without any warning I waa taken
with nervous prostration. At times I could
scarcely breathe and my face twitched con
tinually. "I was almost helpless and my stomach
was out of order all the time. For three
yaars I was treated, with only temporary
re iaf, having to stay In bed nearly all the
time. Then my uncle, an old physician,
came to visit ua, and as soon as he had
studied my case a little bit he said:
" 'Let me get you a'square meal. I think
I can make better coffee than anyone in
this house.'
"So I waited patiently, for I did love good
coffee, and I tnought I had never tasted
such delicious coffee as that was, and I
wondered why others could not make It
Just the samer So uncle told me he would
teach them Just how It was made.
"In this way I drank Postum Coffee li
nearly a month before I knew It. I found
my stomach getting so much better and
all my troubles disappearing, and in a few
weeks I waa up and around the house again
and stronger and better thun I bad been for
a long time. I am still growing stronger
every day and I am doing my beat to get
ray friends to do away with coffee and uaa
Postum In its place.
."Coffee almost ruined me and I know It,
and I know the only way that I got (id of
it and got well waa by drinking Postum In
Its place. I have found out that you must
be careful to follow directions on tho
Poatum package to make good Postum."

gallery: "Halt, order, by the grace of
the I-ord, listen," and then, having secured
the desired attention, wished to make a
speech to that branch of the United Statns
congress. Three or four policemen finally
hustled him away and escorted him out
side the building. It Is also said that last
April he appeared at the White Star line
pier as J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie and
others were sailing on the Cedrlc and
preached a sermon to them
Deming was later Committed to Bellovue
hospital for examination as to his sanity.
He told the magistrate a rambling story, In
the course of which he said that was
In the clothing business In Oakland, Cel.,
for twelve years, but for the last two years
he had been In New York and vicinity. He
said he had met every president from
Grant to McKinley.
The officers at the detective bureau said
the man appeared to bo perfectly harmless
and rational on every subject except that
of his remedy. Nothing was found on
him to Injure anyone. Deming told the
officers that he depended on Ood to guide
him In his business affairs.
The funeral service was conducted by
Bishop Potter, Rev. Dr. Motte. Rev. H. F.
Taylor, Rev. Howard K. Bartow and Rer.
Henry H. Washburn of Oyster Bay.
Among the floral offerings was a cluster
cf roses and orchids, sent by the president.
After completing and Investigation Into
the manner In which Deming gained en
trance Into the church and reached the
side of the president, Police Commissioner
Greene said he was not satisfied with the
explanation given by the police In charge
at the church and that he would place
Captain Cottrell or trial on charges of
falling to make proper arrangements.
Three detectives and two policemen who
were on guard at the church will also be
placed on trial.

hibition has for three weeks attracted
much attention from every visitor. Pro
tected by only a low rail, here is one of
the big coining presses which the govern
ment uses to stamp out its metal money;
and without any greater protection are
three big frames where are displayed be
hind glass United States currency, bonds
and other paper securities ot the faco
value of $100,000.
But while the press Is a constant temp
tation to the professional counterfeiter,
and while $100,000 Is enough to make every
visitor to the fair stop and look and spec
ulate what he or she would do if all that
money was his or hers. Treasury Agent
Downing, who Is in charge, walks calmly
off to his luncheon at noon, and as calmly
to his hotel at night, without ever locking
up his treasure, or looking back, to see If
some bold thief Is not already t.iaklng
away with it. The coining press weighs
a matter ot seven tons, and Its theft
would be no vest pocket affair; but how
about the bills, In denominations of from
$1 all the way up to the $10,000 variety,
which rests behind no more secure cover
than a sheet of glass? Scarcely is there
an hour in tne day wnen there is not a
crowd of people around the exhibit, and
casting curious and oftentimes envious
glances at the crisp-looking new bills.
What would be the result of a well di
rected brickbat, a quick grab for those
big $10,000 gold certificates, another for the
$10,000, silver certificates and aeveral more
kinds of $10,000 bills, not to mention the
small fry, from $5,000 down? Or supposing
some burglar carried off the whole frame
full, with Its $100,000 and more In govern
ment paper?
To begin with, what could the thief do
with his $10,000 bills? What could he buy
with them? Who would change one for
htm? Not the banks, nor the cashiers of
sny of the department stores. No more
could he use the $6,000 bills, nor the $1,000
bills. Only when he got down to the com
paratively small notes, $100 or less, could
he try to spend them without almost cer
tain detection and capture.
But Mr. Downing Is not taking chances
or even the $1 and $3 bills. He knows
that the bills which are shown are printed
only on one side, and that the Impression
Is made upon bond paper, and not upon
the money paper with Its silk fiber, which
ex-Oovernor Crane makes by secret pro
cesses up in the Berkahu-es. The thief
ould find himself possessed of some of
the finest Impressions of the finest steel
engraving in the world, but It would not
buy him a cup of coffee or a ham sand
wichthe whole $100,000 worth of it. The
exhibit Is that which was originally made
up for the Colombian exposition at Chi
cago, In 1833, and wherever it has been
shown It has compelled attention. Boston

BALFOUR ON BRITISH ARMY
Sayi Liberal Adniin:gtr&tioD? Were Respon
sible, for Sooth African D fficulty.
MISTAKES COMMON TO ALL PARTIES
Premier Insists that Strength of
Great Britain Lies In the Loyalty
of Its Self-Governlasr
Colonies.
LONDON, Nov. 27,-Preniier Balfour.
siding at the annual banquet of the I n. e !
Service club tonight, dellvere.1 a vpe'cl
which was devoted entirely to the r tor :i
instituted by the War office nr.d wh e :
avoided the fiscal question. lie said h '
hoped that the War office advisory commit
tee would quickly .evolve a satisfactory
result from its Investigations.
Mr. Balfour defended the secretary of
state for war, who, he said, had to face a
more complex problem than that now be
fore the war minister of any other nation,
on account of the vast scope of British
territory. He blamed the liberal predeces
sors of the present government for their
deliberate policy of starving the army,
which policy had resulted In the difficulties
experienced In the Bouth African war, not
withstanding the efforts of the present
government, which did Its utmost to bring
the army up to an efficient standard. He
contended that the army as framed by the
union government, operating through Lord
Lansdowne and Lord Wolseley, had per
formed a feat In Bouth Africa that no
nation had ever attempted or had ever
carried out, but, he said, no enthusiastic
gratitude had been displayed to those who
were responsible for thla result.
If Ilia army, In the condition In which It
had been left by Lord Rosebery's adminis
tration, said the premier, had had to go
through the Bouth African campaign It
would 'tiave met with many more disasters.
No Apology to Offer.
Mr. Balfour said It was not his Intention
to apologize, because he did not consider
that an apology was necessary, but when
he found Sir Henry Campbell-Banncrman
and Lord Hosebery denouncing the present
military policy, and thought of their own
conduct of military affairs, he felt his
gorge rise. He thought that for very
shame the members of the Rosebery gov
ernment would have preserved a discreet
silence. He did not wish to minimize the
magnitude of the miscalculation which had
been made In South Africa, but tt was a
miscalculation of which the whole British
military profession was alike guilty, If
guilty Is the word, and it was not due to
the maladministration of the war office.
In regard to the future. Premier Balfour
asserted that ho did not believe a large
army was required for home defense. The
great military problem waa the defense of
the large Indian frontier against the great.
and, ho waa glad to think, friendly empire
of Russia. For that reason he emphatic
ally replied to those who wanted Lord
Kitchener in London at the head of the
army, that the Himalayas waa where the
general ought to be.
In conclusion the premier maintained
that conscription never had been and
never could be used to defend outlying
possessions. In the ultimate resort Great
Britain must depend upon the free will of
a free people. There was needed an elastlo
organization, able to utilize the enthusi
asm of the whole empire. He did not be
lieve that the empire would shrink from
the making of necessary sacrifices, or be
Inadequate for the greatest strain Its pa
triotism might endure, if only all the com
ponent parts of the empire could be har
moniously united for some scheme of de
fense not dependent upon the war office
alone, but drawing its strength from all
the great eelf-governing colonies.
