BABY BOYS BIC Waverly — Chief Brooks this morning had one of the most un- usual experiences in his long career as a public officer, He interviewed two burglars who have confessed to breaking into scveral houses within the past two weeks. The leader of the band of two is cight years of age ad his plice is six years old The lads are Frank an Sullivan and their home is on Lin coln street Among their accom plishments is that of breaking into the Lincoln street school house, where they secured three dollars in cash. From the house of the sexton of the Presbyterian church they secured keys of the edifice and roamed through the pews looking for collection money. Two houses in Waverly street and one on Lincola street are included in their list, in the coafession made to the officers this morning. The lads are too young to be sentenced for burglary, and what disposition will be made is not yet known. A good, sound spanking is one of the penalties under con- sideration. chief accom- !

Molten Metal Workman Chooses Electrocution, Chicago —Nels Anderson, a motor inspector tor the illinois Steel company chose death on a live electric wire the other day rather than fall into a pit full of molten metal works Anderson was doing repair work on the arm of a crane about 30 feet above one of the hot metal pits.

His body swayed ip the alr and he extended his arms fu a fractic effort to right himself and keep from falling in the metal pit, which was seething under him like miniature crater To those who were Jooking on it seemed that the man struggled an hour in midair although It was only a second or two. He knew that to touch the wire meant instant death, but he chose that rather than plunge into the bLolling metal. Reaching above his head, he caught the wire just as his body shot downward There was a flash of blue flame, the crackling of the current as {t entered his body, then a burst of lame as his cloth- ing caught fire. His fellows, as soon as they could recover from the shock of the tragedy. rushed toward him.
