A JOKE, SAY THE POLICE
So Great Did the Crowd Become
That Police Had to Use Fire
Hose to Disperse it Woman Says
It's a Ghost
CHICAGO, July 31 Five thous
and men women and children pushed
and crowded each other last night to
get a glimpse of a "Haunted House"
at 191 West 21st street. Moth
ers with children in their arms and
others clinging to their skirts pushed
their way through the masses of peo
ple in efforts to get a closer position
to the "haunted" habitation. Auto
mobiles and wagons lined the streets
for blocks. Street car traffic on the
street was tied up until the police op
ened a passage.
Thirty uniformed policemen fought
the curious crowds, eight arrests were
made and the prisoners were locked
p on charges of disorderly conduct
!At times the police were unable to
ope with the crowd and a fire hose
-was brought into play. Streams of
water were poured onto the crowd,
which then fled in all directions.
While the policeman were battling
with the crowds detectives were at
tempting to run down the perpetrators
erf the joke, for the police consider
the "ghost" nothing more than the
work of a practical joker. The de
tectives questioned several members
ef the family of We Bacheldor, who
eccttpied the house and from what
they learned they believe that sever
al men who attended a party at the
Bacheldor home Thursday night when
the "ghost" manifestations were heard
arc responsible for the joke. Mrs.
Bacheldor refused to believe that the
"ghosts" are the work of a joker.. She
insists that the rappings and other
manifestations were the work of a
pint. Her brother, Harry Ludding
toti, declares that he is positive that
kis sister's home is haunted.
than a dozen firms have agreed to
give employment to women on that
date.
According to the statement issued

now idle and it is said places
were secured for more than 100
women as the result of the first day's
work.

LONDON, July 31.-Gen. James

and two medals won at Bisley by the
American rifle team. The officials of
CHICAGO, July 31.-The Record
Herald today says: Special agents of
the government are in Chicago try
ing to collect evidence to substanti
ate proceedings for the disruption of
the Harriman systems of railroads up
on the grounds that the combination
is in violation of the Sherman anti
trust act.
For more than a week Ralph M.
McKcnzie, who did a great deal of
the preliminary work in the investi
gation which the Interstate Commerce
Commission made into the affairs of
the Harriman railroads has been in
dustriously working among the big
shippers with a view of ascertaining
how the Harriman combination has
been used, if used at all, to stifle com
petition and restrain trade. On
Special Agent McKenzie's new calling
list are all of the traffic men of the
big industries in the city.
It is understood that the evidence
is desired for use in connection with
suit to be begun by the government
which will be similar to the Northern
Securities Company which resulted in
the disruption of the Hill roads, as
far as a building company is concern
ed.
The special agent's work is directed
toward getting information from the
shippers with respect to conditions
before the combination of the Union
Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Ore
gon Short Line and the Oregon Rail
road and Navigation Company and a
comparison between those conditions
and conditions which exist today. To
the men upon which he has called Mr.
McKenzie had not disclosed his. pur
po&e further than to say that he is
trying to collect evidence for use in
a suit to disrupt the Harriman combi
nation. It is fully understood by the
department of Justice officials here
that President Roosevelt has not
dropped his fight against the Harri
man combination of railroads.
