CHICAGO WAKES UP
WITHOUT HEADACHE
Courts Free From Deluge of
Drunk Cases Arter First
Dry Sunday.
ECONOMIC BENEFIT SHOWN
Hmploj-ers of Labor on Large Scale
Kind Monday Efficiency Ira
i. ''proved Because of Abstain
- injr From lebauch.
CHICAGO, Oct. 11. (Special.) Chi
cago, with a , few exceptions, awoke
this morning and went to work with a
clear bead. It was a new experience
and due to the closing of saloons Sun
day. There .were sporadic exceptions.
Two of these were found dead, having
consumed so much booze, just to prove
that no Mayor or law could step on
their rights, that it killed them.
In the main Chicago rode the water
wagon and does not regret it. The con
rete results began to show today in
many forms. Today the courts which
usually have an average of 200 or more
Sunday "drunk" cases had but 16 such
cases. There were no Sunday suicides,
us against the customary run of from
two to four or more. There were no
murders, as against the. average of 20
t month, to which Sunday ordinarily
contributed heavily. No persons were
billed by intoxicated "joyriders.' This
is a distinct record, for Sunday usually
develops four or five such cases.
Economic Advantage Great.
Perhaps the most striking point,
however, from a purely economic view,
was the fact that hundreds of men
returned to work today fit and sober.
Ordinarily large employers of labor
'ount on the return Monday of much of
their force sore, aching and ugly, the
result of a Saturday night and all-day
Sunday debauch. Many of these men
would be discharged, and those re
tained would be practically worthless
until Tuesday. Interviews with sev
eral employers today brought out these
tacts:
The big packing plants emphasized
the feature that their large forces of
workmen returned today sober and in
tatt. The Illinois Steel Company said
Sunday passed without demoralization
mong its employes every roan was at
his post on time thi3 morning.
The South Chicago Police Station re
ported a remarkably small number of
'drunks,' which is unusual.
Only Mx Places Found Open.
Out of the 7152 saloons in the city
only six were actually found open on
Sunday, and Mayor Thompson will un
doubtedly revoke their licenses, thus
lisposing of them without any pro
tracted court f igh t. Interviews with
managers of roadhouses and the sa
loons that ekirt the city show that
they did not have the rush of busi
ness they ha4 expected. It had been
thought there would he a veritable
hegira to Milwaukee, where elaborate
preparations had been made to enter-
lain thirsty Chieagoans, but dispatches
from that city admit the Sunday' travel 1
was no heavier than ordinarily, and 1
those who came drank sparingly. 1
Cafe owners, particularly those who 1
advertise dancing, made bitter com- !
ment today on the -Sunday closing. They
fay their ratron will not dance unless
they drink. Admitting that the con
tumption of food was heavier than
usual, they say people showed no dis
position to dance or to , linger after
they had finished their meals. Th(
professional dancers and other enter
tainers employed by these "lobster pal
Rfos" received scant attention from the
dinprs, and the cabaret on Sunday ap
parently has received a death blow.
"Hangover la Gone.
Generally speaking, the point that
flands out most prominently as the re
sult of the Sunday closing is the disap
pearance of the "hangover." Ffficiency
methods have been fighting the "hang
tver" for years. I n occupations re
; ouiring skill it has been the ground
for immediate dismissal. Today there
was a great di munition in the great
crowds of men who have been "fired
for drunkenness, the usual Sunday
ta rouse and who haunt the streets and
alleys where afternoon papers are
grabbed from the presses and the race
for a new job begins.
Liquor interests today talked of a
monster demonstration to be given
when Mayor Thompson returns from
the Coast, which will lay particular em
phasis on his alleged double-crossing
of the saloon men and broken promises
not to interfere with them. Mean
while the temperance forces are equally
m s busy laying plans to make Chicago
dry every day in the week.
the China Mail Steamship Company,
China entered into competition with
Japan for passenger and freight trade
between this port and the Orient.
The new company purchased today
from the Atlantic Transport Company,
of West Virginia, the steamship China,
formerly operated by the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company in the Oriental
service, and announced her first sail
ing from this port on October 16.
' The China Mail Steamship Company
has the financial backing of prominent
Chinese in San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Portland, Seattle, and Tacoma, a3 well
as that of the Chinese government and
the principal Chinese merchants of
Honsrkonrr and' Canton. It is expected
! that the line will be subsidized by the
Chinese government. Among those
prominent in the organization were
Look Tin Eli, president of the Canton
Bank of San Francisco, and Wee Wai,
a San Francisco merchant.
The capitalization of the company
will be $10,000,000 fully paid up, and
this will be increased as the require
ments of the business demand, accord
ing to the attorney who is arranging
the legal details of the organization.
The route of the China, which prob
ably will be' followed by other vessels
which soon will be added to the fleet,
will include Honolulu, Nagasaki, Manila
and Hongkong as ports of call. Re
turning, the China will touch at
Shanghai instead of Manila.
Other vessels, is was said, would be
added as soon as they could be purchased.
COUNTY STILL FIGHTS
REDUCTION ORDERED 1 TIMBER
ASSESSMENTS RESISTED.
Claekamnn Board of Equalization Rc
fuses to Cot Appraisal for This
Year and Will Appeal.
OREGON CITY. Or., Oct. 11. (Spe
cial.) The county will not submit
tamely to bis reductions in the assess
ments of the Weyerhaeuser. Collins
estate and other big timber holdings
and every case will be fousht throuch
the courts, declared District Attorney
Hedses today.
The Weyerhaeuser case, which was
appealed from the Board of Equaliza
tion ana lost and lost in the Circuit
Court Saturday, will be appealed to the
supreme Court, said Mr. Hedges, who
believes that the county can prove its
case before the higher tribunal. The
court refused to reduce Assessor
Jack's vaule of the timber, but cut the
estimates 144,460,000 feet in five sec
tions in questions. The sections were
not changed by the court. Between
$1100 and $1200 is involved in the an
nual tax payments by the reductions
ordered in the Circuit Court.
The case is considered important in-as-much
as it opens the way for other
big timber interests to fisht for lower
assessments. The county's figures are
all based on the M. G. Nease cruise.
The Board of Equalization, in face of
the action of the Circuit Court Satur
day, today refused to reduce the assess
ment on the same property of the Wey
erhaeuser Company for the 1915 tax
roll. The case tried Saturday referred
to the 1914 tax rolls, or the taxes col
lected this year. Likewise, petitions
from the Collins interests, together in
volving as much property as the Wey
erhaeuser case, were turned down by
the Board of Equalization. Another
appeal to the Circuit Court is expected.
MURDER SUSPECT HELD
ARREST MA DK OVER SHOOTI.NG OF
WILLAM I.Vvi FARMER,
Bad Tfrnu Reported Bctirem Victim
and Accused Man. Who Can't
Account for Whereabout.
M'MJNNVlLiLE. Or.. Oct. 11. tSpe
cial.) That William Booth, who was
found dead in the road half a mile
above the Willamina brick plant, was
murdered is the finding of the Cor
oner's jury that held an inquest at
Willamina Saturday. The finding of
the body Friday was kept quiet until
today.
William Branson, aged 23. is under
arrest, suspected of the murder of the
farmer. Booth had been seen two
hours before the tragedy, and Branson,
with whom Booth is said to have been
on bad terms, is unable to account for
his whereabouts between the time
Booth was last tsecn alive and tne
finding of his body. Branson was seen
near the scene of the tragedy during
the afternoon of Friday.
He had borrowed a bicycle from c
Willamina man shortly before the time
of the murder.
Residents along the road near which
the body was found report having sen
Mrs. Booth follow in the direction
taken by her husband shortly before.
Mrs. Booth had pleaded that she .was
going to see her ill mother.
ANTHRAX PATIENT BETTER
rrtini for C'alllo I'svcl on Mr. Stack
pole With Good Kffect.
XKW YORK. Oct. 11. The use of a
special antitoxin serum received from
Washington gave George V. Stackpole.
1 be ued River head lawyer, a fight
ing chance to recover from anthrax,
the dread disease which rarely is con
tracted by human beings, although it
Is not uncommon among . cattle and
sheep.
Mr. Stackpole is said to be the first
person to be treated w ith this serum,
which whs prepared for use among ani
mals. lesplte this, so great is the effi-f-acy
of the scrum in curing cattle, that
the opinion was expressed at the hos
pital where the lawyer is being'treated
that he had a chance to get well, al
though he was still in a critical condi
tion. The effect of the treatment could not
be established immediately, but Mr.
Stackpole was resting comfortably
after the injection.

her general air of smartness always gave her a distinction
which beauty of face cannot always give.
This is true of more than one plain woman. And it sounds
the true note of success in dress. For in modern life smart
ness is more distinctive than a curling eyelash or a Grecian
profile.
The wearers of C. B. a la Spirite Corsets are almost always
distinguished by a certain up-to-date smartness and a youth
ful grace. '
This because C. B. Corsets are always cut just a little in
