He went before the civil service commission with a petition In which Collins is accused of bomething so like forgery It is difficult to determine the difference. and made the argument that by I tColline had admitted he was actuated by motives of personal hatred last slimmer In bringing the charges against him.

Lavin does not directly ask to be put back on the police force. He simply requests that the records of the commission be corrected to show what he claims are the facts. The inference is, however, a demand for reinstatement will follow the correction if It Is made. Fictitious. false, and fraudulent is the alliterative manner in which Collins' report to thG civil service commission of Lavin's reegnation from the police force is described.

The company formerly conducted an all night hank in Chicago. It is charged that the business is kept in erration by President C. 11. Wilcox "-for purpose of receiving his salary as pres1- 0nt." Wilcox and the trust company are made defendants.

The complainants, who on thirty-nine shares of stock. are Hugh jjKlann, W. S. Thompson, N. G.

Shannon, Lams Kyser, MC. Dolan, Elizabeth Beards-lee. Katherine Quigley, Joseph Lemke, and Nizholas F. Ehrtneyer. All live in Chicago.

Initial Capital $250,000. It is set forth that the Jennings Real Pate Loan and Trust company was incorporated July 31, 1000, with a capital stock of divided into 2,500 shares. Pus-ant to the purposes set forth in its certificate of incorporation, the company engaged ts a general banking business in Chicago. Prior to the incorporation of the company, It is averred, J. Elliott Jennings conducted a Teal estate and loan business.

and he was the promoter and moving spirit in the organization of the trust company and a subscriber for a large number of its shares. At the time the company began business Jensings became its president and dominated its affairs until the early part of this year. In the early part of 1907 Jennings became financially involved and dispcsed of a majority of the shares held by him to C. H. Wilcox and went to Los Angeles.

Wilcox is said to have paid only 25,000 for the shares held by him. Following this a resolution was adopted by the stockholders reducing the capital to 00, and the name was changed to United States Trust company. About the same Wne two-thirds of the space in the office at Monroe and Dearborn streets was rented to the Federal National bank. and the trust company's savings depositors' accounts were disposed of to the bank. Since then the trust company has refused to receive deposits, and its officers have referred persons seeking to deposit money to the Federal bank.

On June 15 last, when the state auditor of public accounts made an examination of the trust company's affairs, he determined that Its capital stock was impaired 40,000 and ordered an assessment of that amount against the stockholders. Assets of Doubtful Value. The assets of the trust company, it la declared, consist of real estate bonds amount-lug, at face value, to $176,000. not readily salable and of doubtful market value; unsecured notes for $30.000, also of doubtful blue; and mot- gages on real estate of a face value of $23,4,50 and an estimated value of 111,000. The entire amount of the real estate bonds, it is charged, has been hypothecnied with the Federal National bank to secure a loan of $76.000.

Wilcox is receiving a salary of 300 a rnonth as president. The complainants allege that they paid Jennings $200 a share for the stock, the par 1r of which was $100 a share. The compliinants also charge that if they and the her stockholders are obliged to pay the Swesment of $10.000 it will not be sufficient tl keep the capital stock intact for any deli-Site period and further assessments will be necessary. The prayer of the petition is: That the copy of said pretended resignation be stricken from the files of the Commission; that the action of the commission of Nov. 13, 1006, in approving it be declared null and void.

and that such other relief be given the petitioper as the commission may decide. The direct charge Lavin makes Is that Collins did not send to the commission the letter of resignation he wrote, but an altered one, which was marked copy." This was substantiated by the testimony of Sergeant Barry, employed in Collins' office, who testified that he had written the letter and, when asked why it had been changed, answered he did not remember, but he presumed he must have written what he did at the order of some one of his superiors." Charges of Enmity Made. Lavin's letter of date of Nov. 1900, after stating he had been tried by the commission and acquitted, read: I hereby tender my resignation as Inspector of police for the following reasons: It is charged that you are my personal enemy, that said enmity is of long standing. and that in this persecution you have used your high office as chief of police to gratify your personal animosity.

Whether this be true or not, I understand It Is your personal desire that while you are chief of police I should not continue as Inspector. For you to remain as chief and me to continue as inspector might prove intensely disagreeable to both of us and detrimental to the discipline of the department If I am correctly advised as to your position I respectfully ask you to act upon the above resignation at oncan Chief Collins Acts. szviLL -t-wiLL c.L3olsra nAlvrszY.1-mrss ItTALLc4NRc5 51C.11L,1,--1qR II 1 SOLDIER INSULTS A WOMAN NOW RICH; REMEMBERS GIFF GUILTY, HE FACES DISMISSAL. emall in Automobile Indian Helped as Poor Lad Never Forgets Favor.

On the same-day he is said to have sent to the civil service commtcsion what purported to be Lavin's letter of resignation and which read: I hereby tender my resignation as inspector of police of the city of Chicago to take effect this date." This was all there was to It.

By hastening to accept the resignation In the form in which it was written." said former Corporation Counsel Tolman, who Is acting for Lavin, Collins admitted that Lavin had been correctly advised when he was informed that personal animosity was back of the prosecution. Furthermore. the letter be sent the commission and on which it acted differed essentially from the one Lavin sent him. Not only was the wording of the first paragraph materially changed but the important paragraphs which followed were stricken out. It was a plain intent to deceive." The commission took the matter under advisement and will announce its decision later.

EXCURSION BOAT RESCUES MEN IN DISABLEDIAUNCH. pEM.MIEEM 118 Charles Bonner and Irving Strader Are Picked Up After Drifting All Day on the Lake. 141 Disregarding the wishes of influential relae tives and taking chances on being disinherited by a wealthy uncle In the west who promised to make him the principal legatee of a big estate, Frederick W. Jellison, holding an executive position with the John W. Gauger Co.

sash and door factory at West Twenty-second and Lai lin streets, eloped to Kenosha, on Wednesday ecith Miss Anna Grant of 3133 Prairie avenue. The bride is a milliner, She attended services at St. James' Roman Catholic church regularly and is popular with the young folks there, but in the estimation of the groom's sistersOne the wife of a local dental parlor manager, the other the wife of a well known theatrical manager of Broadwayshe is not high toned enough. The uncle simply objected to Jellison marrying at all. Opposed by Groom's Sisters.

The sisters have known of their brother's love for the young milliner for some time. and it is said they did their utmost to turn his attention to a society belle." This interference of relatives caused more or less annoyance to the young man, but he cast all worriment aside by taking a day off and speeding to Kenosha, In an automobile, hunted up Justice of the Peace Edward Don-aline, and had the ceremony performed. The parents of the bride have been apprised of what took place, but so far as the principals know the relatives of the groom are still in the dark. Jellison Says He Is Suited. When seen in his suite of rooms at 7-'46 Michigan avenue last night Jellison, after expressing astonishment as well as regret that the affairs of his heart bad gained publicity, and finding that his attempts at suppression were futile.

said: I am packing up my things and will move to toy wife's house on Sunday. She is a lovely girl and there should be no We have been keeping company for three years and she's the only girl for me. If it has come to a case of publication I shall stand on my independence and let my relatives say what they wish. They like her all right, but seemingly not so well as another girl. It's my doings.

though." Charles Keane, a patrolman at tbe West North avenue station, was found guilty yesterday by the civil service commission of conduct unbecoming a policeman. As Keane is a probationary man. the punishment waft left to Chief Shippy. It was believed last evening it would be dismissal from the force. Keane was accused of brutally maltreating and afterwards arresting a newspaper reporter named Frank Carson, who spoke to him in the way of business at the corner of Milwaukee and Western avenues.

Mr. Carson had gone to the station to find another patrolman named Ontank. and was told he would be at the corner named. Carson went there and found Keane. who had just come out of a saloon.

Thinking he was Ontank. Carson spoke to him. Keane first assailed the reporter verbally, for his Impertinence In daring to speak to him and then dragged him to the patrol box and called for the wagon. Refuses to Argue; Uses Force. Mr.

Carson argued with him, but Keane grew angrier and finally hit his prisoner" a severe blow in the mouth, loosening a tooth and bringing blood. Then when the wagon came he literally threw his prisoner into it, got in himself, invited the comrade with whom re had been in the saloon, a postoffice employe named McCarthy, to go along, and personally took Carson to the station. There Carson was released on ball and the next day discharged by the judge for the simple reason there was no possible case against him. The chief at once suspended Keane, who demanded a hearing by the civil service commission. This he was not legally entitled to, but Chief Shippy has made it a practice to allow it in the case of probationary officers who are entirely under his control to avoid claims of favoritism, and so one was granted Keane.

It was had on Tuesday, and Keane was there with a lawyer to defend him. There was no denial of the general facts, but the excuse was made for Keane that he had been previously imposed on by young men who falsely had represented themselves as connected with newspapers, and he was suspicious that Carson was an impostor. Police Rules Ignored. Alb the testimony brought out by the chief during the hearing showed a total disregard of all police rules In the case and the decision of the commission followed the testiMen y. The testimony was all plain enough," said President Lower of the commission.

It was all one way and none of the material charges were even contradicted." The charges against Patrolman Richard J. Murphy of the South Englewood station were dismissed. The complainant was Emma Pri.nts, a 14 year old servant, but her testimony was deemed insufficient. After drifting about the lake all yesterday In a disabled launch without food or drink, Charles Bonner. 5752 Rosalie court, and Irving Strader, 462 Bowen avenue, were rescued by the steamer Theodore The two men were exhausted when taken en board the steamer.

but after restoratives lad been administered by Dr. H. N. BundeDen, the boats physician, they were able to tell their story. They started at 5 o'clock in the morning from Chicago for Michigan City and when about ten miles out the electric battery of the launch became exhausted.

All day long they drifted, from time to time lighting steamers and yachts, but unable to attract their attention. A driving rain and a rising sea added to their peril and discomfort. They had abandoned themselves to despair When they were picked up by the Roosevelt. The launch was taken in tow, but shortly afterward the steamer ran into a heavy rain and wind storm which snapped the tow rope and the launch is still tossing about in the lake waves. The boat was known as the Bertha.

It formerly belonged to the South kaven life-saving station. That the gratitude of RAI Indian is as far reaching and enduring as his vengeance was forcibly impressed. upon Millard S. Dens low, 340 Bissell street, a well known Chicago real estate man with offices at aa La Salle street. Mr.

Dens low befriended an intitan boy years ago and loaned him $20 when the lad started west to seek his fortune. The poor youth of other days returned, yesterday a millionaire and paid off the score handsomely. When Mr. Dens low was building the racetrack at Buffalo he had in his employ an Indian boy whom he knew as Joe." The Indian had come to him without a penny. Mr.

Dens low made him his private messenger and body servant. When financial disaster overtook Mr. Dens low the Indian asked him for $20 with which to make the trip to California. Mr. Dens low drew out all the change he had In his pockets.

It was a little more than the amount asked for. Reward for His Loyalty. Take it, Joe; its a gift, not a loan," be said. rm nearly but you've been a loyal fellow and I am glad to help you." A caller at Mr. office yesterday sent in a card inscribed Joseph Schwartz." Mr.

Dens low looked at the name reflectively. It suggested nothing. Show him in," he said to the office boy. Mr. Schwartz entered clad in a blue summer coat, striped flannel trousers, panama hat, and white canvas shoes.

A big diamond blazed in his tie. Another immense stone scintillated on his finger. A watch fob studded with diamonds gleamed like an electric light. Mr. Dens low inspected his visitor from white shoes to panama.but in the bediamonded and sartorially effulgent person failed to recognize the tramp Indian boy he had once befriended.

Mr. Schwartz drew a large roll of money from his pocked, peeled off two $20 bills, and laid them upon Mr. Denslow's desk. What's this for?" asked the surprised Mr. Denslow.

"I'm Zoe," Says Croesus. That's the V213 you loaned me years ago, with interest," said his caller. Don't you know. Mr. Denslow? I'm Joe." Mr.

Schwartz is not as romantic a name as Uncas, or Chingagook, or Flying Arrow. but it is the name of this up to date Indian. Neither does Mr. Schwartz talk in the Meheap-big-chief language of yellow back literature. He speaks in the nervous.

snappy style of a shrewd business man and in good English. The story he told of how he rose from the crosetlea to be a millionaire is an amazing romance. After leaving Mr. Denslow's service he made his way to California, where he made $3.000 working in gold mines. Then he went to Santo Domingo, where he had heard there was money to be made in mahogany.

He made large profits on several shipments of hardwood to this country. In the end he acquired 10,000 acres of the richest mahogany forest land in the island. He declares his land now is worth more than $1,000,000. He came to Chicago with a trainload of mahogany from his own forests. Having accomplished at least one of the objects he had set himselfthe spending of the biggest part of his hoard.

unidentified man attempted suicide in Lincoln park last night by swallowing morphine. Whether or not he had accomplished his other ante-mortuary purposethe killing of a physician whom he blamed for all his troublesis not certain, but a revolver with all chambers loaded, which was found on his person, indicated that this design had not been carried out. The money spending purpose was aocomplished down to $1.27. the amount found in the would be suicide's pockets. The man was found in the park at the foot of Garfield avenue by Park Policeman Hayes.

who saw him lying near a clump of bushes. The policeman. thinking he was sleeping, attempted to arouse him. After repeated efforts to put the man on his feet he left hint lying on the grass and notified the North Halsted street police, who removed him to the German hospital. Initials on Handkerchief A white linen handkerchief with the initials J.

is the 6nly clew to his identity. He is about 30 years old. His end he had planned since July according to the date of the following letter found in his pocket: When you find me dead it will be a case of suicide. The reason is that I have been sick for the last four years. and am tired of lira But today I have 248.27, and I'm going to spend It all before I die, not because I want to have a good time but because I don't want any more of my money to go into the hands of these grave diggers.

I paid them for digging my grave. but I don't want to pay them for putting me into it. (You call them doctors.) Now. I want to find the first doctor that attended me and give him a couple of bullets in his brain. I blame him for all my troubles.

But he don. good business on me. and now I don't care whether he didn't know any better or not But I want to get him, anyway. I forgot his name. Don't try to find out who I am; you will have too hard I don't care what you do with me after I am dead.

I have no relative. No Signature on Letter. The letter, which was unsigned, was written on a leaf of a memoramlum book. The man is 5 feet 10 inches in height, slim bald on top. He wore a brown sack suit, bbulaiclt, of fair with brown hair.

stiff hat, and a black and white shirt. Private R. Hill of battery A. Danville, one of the companies of state artillery service now at Camp Logan rifle range near Zion City was placed in the range guardhouse last night. He will be court martialed today as a result of serious charges made against him by the wife of Capt.

John Clinnire range officer and an employe in the county recorder's office in Chicago. Hill was captured only after a wild chase over the rifle range by a squad of soldiers-The soldiers were attracted to Capt. Clinnin's house by the screams of the captain's wife-The woman accused of Hid of having insulted her. By the time the soldiers came up Hill was far away, running for the timber country. After his capture Capt.

Clinnin, took the matter before Mae O. P. Yaeger and Adjt. Holmes. who were dining at the Onwentsia club In Lake Forest with Col.

Gordon Strong. The officers went to Camp Logan immediately and made arrangements for the trial. Hill is said to have admitted his guilt. Kindness Rewarded by Insult. There are three batteries in camp on the range, batteries and C.

Battery A is commanded by Capt. Loomis. Hill's superior officer. Fart of each day is spent in practice shooting and it was during this period, that the incident occurred. While target shooting with his rifle Inirs finger caught In the gun lock and was lacerated.

He was taken off the field and restoratives hunted. The nearest place of aid appeared to be the house on the range in which Capt. Clinnin and his wife live during the summer. Mrs. Clinnin was sympathetic and washed and dressed the soldier's wounded hand.

He was left to rest there and when he began to feel better he came to the realization that he was alone In the house with the captain's wife. It is charged by Mrs. Clinnin that Hi kissed her and began to force his attentions on her. She broke away -and began to scream. The soldiers outside neard her and came running up.

Catch him!" she cried. He has insulted me. Catch him!" She pointed to Hill, who was Peeing down the range. and began to cry. The soldiers took up the Chase and called others to their assistance.

May Be Drummed Out of Camp. After Hill was captured he broke down and protested that he had meant no harm. I kissed her," he said. but I thought she was the hired girl. I didn't know It was the captain's wife." The man was taken to the guardhouse and locked up.

The soldiers were angry about the matter. When they heard of it they threatened to tar and feather Hill if they could get hold of him. Capt. Loomis and Capt. Newman of one of the other batteries promised to start an official Inquiry at once.

All the officers prophesied that many things would be done to, Hill at the court martial, as the reputation of the batteries was at stake. When Maj. Yaeger and Attn. Holmes heard of it they prepared at once to go to Capt. Logan.

Capt. Clinnin assured the officers that he would not start any civil proceedings if army punishment would be administered. The punishment In this case, Adlt. Holmes said last night. could be dismissal from the militia in disgrace and drumming out of camp.

It will not cure poor management it will not stop manufacturing wastes and, except in special cases, it will not indefinitely continue to sell inferior goods.
