CHICAGO POLICE CHIEF QUITS AS SH RESIGNATION IS DUE TO WAR ON OPENING OF SALOONS ON SUNDAY. SALOONKEEPERS ARRESTED ARE PROMPTLY FREED BY J City Officials Claim That State Does Not Prosecute Booze Cases With - Sufficient Vigor Arrest of Violators Ordered. CHICAGO, Doc. 9 Almost simul taneously with a new order from fblof of Police Charles C. Healoy to enforco vlgoroiiBly the Sunday closing law camo tho admission of Mayor Thompson today that the chief of po lice would resign. Tho new order Instructed all police men to arrest violators on sight and book them at the police stations. Horotoforo Baloon keepers who did not obey the law were arrested later on warrants or punished by revoca tion of their licenses, which, In many cases, were subsequently restored. The order for general Sunday clos ing, Issued more than a year ago, has boon the source of continuous dissen sion between Mayor Thompson, a Re publican, and Mnclay Hoyno, Domo crntlc state's attorney. Chlof Healey'B resignation Is attrib uted indirectly to the clashes between the state and city forces. Saloonkeepers who were arrested on warrants after the closing order had boon issuod by Mayor Tnompson were promptly freed by Juries. Criticism was made by city officials that the cases were not prosecuted by assistant state's attorneys with suffi cient vigor, and the revocation power In the hands of the mayor was used as a weapon to enforce the law. .POLK'S jtp GAZETTEER 17 . . .

Miss Annie Russe'l was leader of the Christian Endeavor on Sunday evening, December 10. The Sunday evening worship followed by a ser mon by the pastor and the male chor us sang. The second annual meeting of the First Federated churches of Oregon City was held at the First Congrega tional church at that place on Thurs day evening, December 7. While a number attended from hero and as this church Is part of the Federation, It was of Interest to us to make mention of this meeting In this week's news Items. The meeting was presided over by C. H. Dye. The reports of the four churches were given as well as reports from the Sunday school secre try, missionary treasurer and pastoral omuilttce. Election of the following officers took place for the ensuing year: President, C. H. Dye; secretary and treasurer. Earnest Purcell; mission ary treasurer, Mrs. C. E. Lucas; Sun day school secretary, Mrs. H. N. Smith. A social time followed with delicious refreshments served by the ladies of the Congregational church of Oregon City were much enjoyed. It was the first occasion of many meeting the new pastor, Rev. McCallum of Oregon City, and he spoke at the close of the affair. The clerk of Grace church sub mitted the following report of the year's work at Jennings Lodge: "Since our last annual meeting we look back upon a few things that we have accomplished at Jennings Lodge. We have had five new members added to our membership roll, four upon con fession of faith and one by letter. One of our faithful members passed on to dwell with Him, who doeth all thinks well. Three of our efficient workers have removed from the com munity, making ten non-resident mem bers, or a total of 44 enrolled. 'Tho Sunday school Is under the supervision of Frank Tucker, an en thusiastic and tireless worker and with efficient teachers, we are looking for ward to great things In our Sunday school work this year. "Perhaps one of the most valuable assets, not only to the Sunday school and church but the community as well, Is the Trl-M's class, which is com posed of fathers and sons and was re cently organized with 18 members with Rev. Smith us teacher, they are taking the HIble and soclul living study up. Recently they gave a rollicking play ette which netted a good sum. Their business meetings are hold Thursday evening of each week. There are two patrols ot Boy Scouts, the Eagles and Owls. "The Christian Endeavor was re organized after the summer months and six or eight are taking the En deavor expert work. Two sunrise prayer meetings have been held at Easter and Thanksgiving time. The Endeavorers have pledged $25 to the church budget. "The Guild is growing and working nnd the 29 members are busy with their second bazaar. The work com mittee announced an experience party for September which proved an easy way of malting $.10. It was a delight ful and novel affair as the members related how they earned their dollars; most of them giving their experience In verse. The missionary committee had two splendid missionary programs. Our church organization has given only $9.80 for missions; $12.50 to the Anti-Saloon league, and $4.83 to Ar menian sufferers. "While we have not met our appor tionment for missions the chairman of missionary committee of the Guild has sent out 'Tank offering boxes, and Judging from the way these boxes 'hattle our misionary part will be tak en care of better another year. , Lunch-Hound and eVaVaVaVsaaV V $1 Printer are Pals Ja '' Is a dog.

Whllo the Immigration bill, passed by the house at the last session, was meeting un expected opposition In the senate to day, it became definitely known that President Wilson will veto the meas ure if It goes to the White House with the literacy test provision, one of its chief features. The president early In bis adminis tration vetoed a similar bill for tho same reason as presidents Cloveland and Taft bad done before Dim but advocates of tbe legislation bad hopej that he would not withhold his signa ture this time If substantial majori ties were given In both bouses ot con gress. Debate on tbe bill developed Into a general argument over the question of exclusion of aliens on account of race. The amendment, recommended by the state department after Inquiries had been made by the Japanese gov ernment respecting provisions of tho bi.t as it passed the bouse, eliminates all ' references to the Root-Takahlra passport agreement regulating Japa nese immigration. Senator Works Insisted that this would leave the United States at the mercy of Japanese dictation as to im migration from that country.
