Wage Earner Home Loans Thrive in La Crosse Four Societies
Four La Crosse loan associations with collective assets near 150000 aid wage earners and others to buy homes. They advance 50 to 75 percent of the purchase price, require stock shares, and offer dividends as loans are repaid over five to ten years. Each association is examined annually by the state bank examiner, and many residents now own homes financed through these plans.

Mob Cries for Blood as Rob Selfes and Others Lose Money
In New York a crowd of over 5,000 sweatshop workers clashed with police outside Elizabeth Street Station after a sightseeing auto struck and killed 9 year old William Baskeret who was riding along. The mob pelted officers with bottles while a fleeing passenger was beaten. Police linked the death to a lurch when the wheel sank into a rut, throwing the boys and killing Baskeret instantly. Separately, Chief Byrne cites robberies and mislaid money as a recurring theme, noting a 9 dollar burglary at Mrs. John Hottinger’s home and the later discovery the funds were hidden in a bureau drawer.
