The tin; starting in a bundle or cloth- ing In she closet, filled the apartment with smoke before an alarm could be MDDdfd. Mrs. Ahrens was in the flat alone wltb the children at the time. Fearing suffocation, she left the tearoom attired only in her night cubing, and carrying a child in each inn. Neighbors quickly brought blan- bt« and quilts to wrap about the Bother and babes, while the firemen extinguished the small blaze. The damage to tho building was slight. About $80 worth of clothing belonging to the Ahrens family was burned. The cause is unknown. Pred Ahrens Is Janitor In the apartments. He was In the supply house in the retr when the fire wai discovered. NEWS WANT AD8 BRlNO RESULTS Those who regarded the loss or $43,000 by Mrs. Mabel Mills, the San Antonio, Tex., real estate oper- ator, in a snow drift in Central street on the night of March 1 last, as a hoax, have about the correct solution of the baffling "mystery," according to a statement made by Dr. P\ J. Fielding of San Antonio, Tex,, re- cently. Dr. Pielding, who, with mem- bers of his family, are touring the country in an automobile, w«« In the Evanston police coart to answer a charge of speeding. He was fined *10 and costs for traveling at a twenty- five til lie rate in Chicago avenue. Upon learning that Dr. Fielding was from the home city of the mysterious Mrs. Mills, Chief of Police Fted Shaffer sought out the Texas physi- cian and had an interview concern- ing the Mills woman, in which It de- veloped that Mrs. Fielding was well acquainted with Mrs. Mills. In fact, the women were close friends. Thus, Dr. Melding talked with authority concerning Mrs. Mills. Loss a Hoax. "Generally speaking, San Antonio citizens regard the story of the big moneyJoflA by .Mrftv_MlUa_as_aJhoftXi"- Dr. Fielding is quoted p* snvlnff In hiB conversation with Chief ShafTer. "Upon returning home, she was prone to talk about the loss, all of which added to the mystery, If there was a mystery. Thus the San Antonio peo- ple look at ♦'-" 'o«s as one which probably never happened. "However, don't misunderstand m*» to say anything reflecting in any way upon the veracity of Mrs. Mills," Dr. Fielding is quoted, in continuing bis conversation. "She is an able busi- ness woman and deals extensively I" realty in Texas and other states. In fact, at present she is having several large buildings constructed in San Antonio, and is looked upon as one of the most shrewd operators in real estate in that section." The echo of the Mills case, an ex- planation of which never was made large handbag she was carrying and counted out nearly $2,000 in bills from a large roll of currency she carried. It was stated that she had $43,000 in the bundle of money from which the $2,000 was separated. Ground Covered with Snow. The ground was covered with snow at the time. After passing the even- ing in a social way. Mrs. Mills called a carriage to take ber to the North- western «"â€" -ted station at DavlB street. This was about 8:30 o'clock. After she boarded the Elevated car and had ridden for about twenty min- utes, she discovered, upon looking In her purse, that she had left the en- velope containing the $2,000 on a dresser in the Stevens home. She left the Elevated car and re- turned to Central Street station, Ev- anston. After entering the fruit store at the station and getting warm, she walked east on Central street. This was shortly after 9 o'clock. About half-way in the block she swooned and fell In a snowdrift. She remained there for an hour or more, and then, in a half-conscious condi- tion, wandered in the snow storm to the home of A. J. Cooper, 805 Mil- burn street. In this wandering it was alleged that the money was either stolen or lost. . Mrs. Mills was taken to the Evans- ton hospital and, after refusing to as- sist the police materially in clearing up the mystery, left the institution. ASKS FOR "HAND-OUT" THEN OCCUPIES PARLOR Chilly lake breezes Sunday after- noon forced" nerve'from" a tramp, who had been given food in a home at 1718 Lake street, which probably has no equal in this section. After tnc "knight of the road" had been given a substantial "hand-out" be politely walked around the house and into the parlor of the house, where he pro- ceeded to partake of bis meal. The matron of the home remonstrated, but her unwelcome guest remained There was only one solution and that was to call the police. # •Officer Patrick Keane was detailed and when he arrived he found the dirty, ragged wanderer occupying the best chair in the best room and just finishing his meal. "It was too cool to eat outside, so I thought the parlor was none too good for me," the hobo is quoted as saying to the officer. "All right. If yez be cool, com« CAMP MEETING COMES TO A CL0R10US CLOSE More Than 12,000 Attended tJieJiieeitags^^ Monday Evening. fill! 11 III I »»♦»» MMMIIM to the Evanston authorities, brings tofl along wid me," quoth officer Keane; mind the story of what was purport-T "we've a nice parlor at the station ed to be one of the largeaj and most mystifying monetary losses in thoais- waitin* for the likes of you." Tbo tramp still languishes in the city cell. After twelve days of what the lead- ers proclaimed unqualified success, the fifty-fourth annual camp meeting at the Des Plaines campgrounds came to a close Monday evening. The total at- tendance was more than 12,000, which is considerably In excess of last year's figure. "The best camp meeting we have ever had," was the unanimous deci- sion of those in charge. The final service in the evening was held in the big tabernacle and was participated in by all three branches of the church Which meet on the grounds, the American, the Swedish, and the Norwegian-Danish. After a song service attended by the Americans only, the Swedish divi- sions marched over from their taber- nacle singing folk songs. They were followed by the Norwegian-Danish di- visions, also singing. An antlphonal service of hymns was next, and then came thcr communion service. After this the entire congregation marched around the grounds, singing "Marching to Zlon." Each nationality then returned to its own tabernacle, where an after service was held, consisting of sing- ing, preaching, testimony, and altar service and benediction. In the early afternoon the preachers In executive session discussed the camp meeting and made suggestions for the future. ' "This marks an epoch," Rev. Dr. John Thompson, district superintend- ent, said. "This is the first time in all the fifty-four years of the camp JDjeeting _lhjat the preachers have jlla- cussed the camp meeting and how to better it." Nearly one hundred preachers at- tended. A resolution was passed au- thorizing the appointment of a com- mittee by the chairman of the moot- ing, who was Dr. Thompson, to draft a set of suggestions for the future policy of the camp meeting.
