CHICAGO. June X. (Special.) In all
the history of Chicago crlraa th-r
baa fcaea nothing mora astounding
than the braaea. deadly, law-defying war
of extermination going on between labor
tiolona ever qwationa of jurisdiction.
Human Ufa never held cheaper In
tha wlldaat of tna Wild Wrst so yearn
aco than It la by tha hired alua-cers and
murdarera In thla desperate- encounter.
That asanas Ilka stronc language, but It
la srtthln tha limits of conaenratlam.
Tna prtnetpale In tha Harmaxaat mas
aacra of l wars not mora disdain til
of tha law. tha murderers of tha Black
Hand haTa bean no more brutal In their
methods than tha men who bars bean
leavtnar behind them a trail of blood In
thla vendetta of organised labor In tha
heart of tha second city of tha Nation.
Keren men hare been done to death to
date. The ssrtnualr wounded number an
aeaa doaea. Others who havo been mal
t rested and Incapacitated bring tna total

tries rrtma bare been committed In tha
thick of crowds and ret rot a man haa

with no word aa to tha Identity of hla

Just two months before. Vincent Alt

waa murdered In almost exactly tha same
way In another saloon of ths loop dis
trict. Fifty men were In the place yet
no scintilla of svtdencs has been pro
' cured by lha polios on which an Indict-
Imsnt could be hung. A month later a
union steamfltter waa shot to death In a
South 8tata-atrsst saloon,
i Lata In th srsek Maurica "Moaa
Km-lght was taken Into custody and waa
formally charted with the murders of
both Vincent Altmsn snd William Gen

Present at ona or mora of tha trage
dies were "gunmen whosa recorda ara
black aa that of tha Camorra. They alug
with Iron weapons aa cold-bloodedly as
the 'knocker" doea tha ateer at tb
stockyards. They shoot at the drop of
a bat. Everybody knows they ara dea
perate men. They admit It themselves.
Yet for some reason, a half dosen of
theaa rufflane thoee who hare not bran
I shot like rshblts In saloons ara still at
liberty In Chicago. Common gossip Is
t that at least one other man la marked
i for certain death and that It Is only
I a question of opportunity when hla life
. will be forfeited.
There would seem to be soma mys
terious but strong Influence working
to keep these men from paying tha
penalty of their crimes. When tha
mask Is llftsd from this Influence tha
disclosure may stsrtle the country
even mora violently than tha murders
have. Not many tears srs shed over
tha passing of Altmsn and Gentleman.
Ia tha language of Theodora Itooaa
velt. they were "undesirable clttaeaa.
who boldly courted Just what rare to
them.
Tha aerloua thing In these murders Is
tha defiance of authority and tha ap
parent Impotence of ths pollcs to meet
tna situation. Ths word "apparent" la
rcosea advisedly. Two detectives were
In th saloon when Gentleman was shot
eight times. They msde not a single
arrest. Kor three days thereafter tha
police took no one Into custody, al
though general ordera had been Issued

McWeeny and by Inspectors of police
for tha bringing In of all men known to
have been connected with tha labor
slugglnga.

llc to action, but Instead of arresting

All aorta of stories ara afloat to s
piala tha failure of tha guardlana of

that certain detectives have plotted
with sluggers to put other sluggers out

Mr to win la the Jurisdictions! war at

! Another batch of stories Is that tha

! ployed by business me to conquer a
rival by fore of arms when other
metnoda failed. There may be sms
surprising revelations of this sort If tn

Thee business men. If there were
" such, did not counsel murder, according
lo h alary, but they aaactloned a
lawlessness that has now volvd Into

Th boldness of th sluggers, or

where trouble Is likely to break. It
seems to make no difference.
Tb Rao Betterment Lragu has
seceded from th union. This suffrage
organisation, of which sirs. Mlnona o.
Joaea Is president, haa turned Its back

"but If It Is tha flsg will have to stand

"Going; up!" aays tha weather man.
talking of the mercury.
'Going up!" echoea the lc magnate,
discussing th price of his product.
Msay tlmss befor these cries have
come la quick auccesslon. .They were
almost la concert this time. While
temperatures war around th M point
for days, marking np a naw local rec
ord for May. and from six to a doxen
war dying dally of tha heat, the lc
trust announced Chat prices hsd been
sdvsnced from to 4 cents a hun
dred pounds sn lncresse of J J-J prr
cent.
Ice Trust Real pa Dividends.
"Short crop last Winter." Is th fa
miliar explanation offered. Thla ex
planation usually arrives with ths first
hot spell. It haa coma on schedule
time to th aecond thla yesr. Infan
tile Illness Increased amaalngly during
the high temperature period, much of
It due to lack of lc. according to tha
health authorities. Ice capitalists did
not complain that their business waa
not profitable. They admitted they had
reduced the price to 30 cents to et rid
of undesirable competition. At tha re
duced prlr dividends of comely pro
portions wera paid, but 40 cents would
add to them materially, and so tha
price waa aent skyward to catch the
Bummer trade when It waa higher.
Short weight aalra help to exploit
th Ice-consuming public. City Inves
tigators hsva caught many "100-pound"
chunks Just delivered from wagons,
weighed them snd found they tipped
tha scales st anywhere from St to &
pounds. Tha lc men admitted the
shortage and said the chunka had
melted during th long Itlnerarlea. Th J
suggestion that It might be lair tor
them to chalk thla loaa up against
themselves seamed to caus them
pained surprise. They did not even en
tertain the notion that they ahould
shara It.
Driver Get "Brer Money."
Other reasons tor short weight war
discovered. Drivers have hit upon the
schema of cheating tha housewife with
abort weight In order that they might
get more "beer money" and still keep
tha records straight with their em
ployers. "All tha money the driver Is able to
glean over and above tha amount ac
tually charged against him by his em
ployers," said Inspector 8. R. Simpson.
"Is bis. The short weight fraud for
"beer money" Is more prevalent than
I supposed It waa, although there ara
many honest drivers of wsgons."
Mall-order houses, of which Chicago
Is the great center, are creating a seri
ous problem for merchants in small
towns of the Middle west. These mer
chsnts have been trying to devise a
way to meet the ruinous competition
that confronts them. They ara not
having much success at It.
Tha little town of Ohio. I1L. may lead
the way. It haa hit upon a pooling of
capital snd enterprise for Its commer
cial salvation. Father R. F. Flynn. a
financier and priest. Is th moving
spirit In the plsn. He proposes that sll
the stores In tha town shall combine
and enlist all tha neighboring farmers
as stockholders. Ha haa made excel
lent progress toward th merger.
Under the usual competitive system
the local merchants of Ohio. In a des
perste effort to mske ends meet,
slashed prices until many were threat
ened with bankruptcy. The mall-order
houses slipped In between the warring
shopkeepers and annexed a lot of the
business. Father Flynn waa quick to
perceive the trend of things. He
studied the problem carefully in all Its
aspects and then called a meeting of
tha merchants.
Jlerrhanls' Tool Proposed. .
His programme was substantially
Ilka this:
"Form a corporation with capital
stork of $:S0.000. secured by the store
buildings and stocks. Sell the stock
among farmera and townspeople. Pay
tha store owners with stock if they de
sire It or In cash If they prefer to re
tire, the price In the latter event to
ha based on an Inventor) value fixed
by disinterested experts. Let the mer
chants who accept stock for their
stores remain In charge of the stores,
as managers. Then operate the combi
nation as a single department store."
Father Flynns srgument was that
the new plan would abolish a costly
credit system now In vogue, would end
mall-order business In the community,
would increase the profit of the busi
nessmen aa a whole, and would benefit
the consumer.
Prospects of a IS or 10 per cent divi
dend are held out to the merchants.
Some of them think they should hsv
more time to think the project over,
although granting it seems feasible.
With a concentration of capital it la
expected great economy In the pur
chase of goods by wholesale will be ef
fected. A temporary organisation has
been formed and Important signatures
to the pool have been procured.
SEATTLE IS AWAITING

Prtfresa and Prosperity Day Passes Without Encouraging News on Lake
Washington Canal Has Other Causes for Celebration. However.
SEATTLE. June t. (Special.)
Progress and Prosperity Day. aa
Juna 1 was celebrated In Seattle.
haa com and gone, larking the banner
event for which cltlsena generally nao,
fondly hoped. They bad expected news
of th awarding of th Federal con
tract for the locks of th Lake Wash
ington canal, for which th rivers and
k..iu.M Kill Af lsat vear authorised an
expenditure of ll.ISS.OOO. But the word
for which thla city haa waneu mr

feovernment Protected lom Damage
Added to what th people have don
Is their willingness to meet whatever
demands the Government may make.
Among them la the assuming of liabil
ity for whatever damages may result
from tha building of the canal and th
consequent lowering of Lake Washing
ton. This phase bss been provided for
In a resolution passed by the county
Commissioners. through which the
eounlv pledges Itself to meet liabilities
of every kind and nature, tnereoy sav
ing th Government In all particulars.
Th blanket nature of such responsi
bility is beat appreciated by reflecting
that I-ake Washington is almost in
miles long and five mllea wide, and
that Its a:or line. Including Indenta
tions. I about ISO mllea long. What
th damages might be no msn can ao
much aa guess, nor can anyone aay
what the pledge given by th County
Commissioners may be worth.
With the work on tha canal, which
will cut off the northern and most
rapidly growing section from the main
part of the city, the taxpayers will face
soother Item of expense. At Shtlshole.
Hallard. Fremont. Stone Avenue. La
tona and tha Portage they will b
obliged to build drawbridge of steel
and masonry, at a cost estimated by
Cttv Engineer R. H. Thomaon. to be
S..0s. Ia addition, conduits and
service pipes of whatever nature will
hare lo b sunk to a depin ot j reel
below the bottom of the canal, and tha
cost In thla particular will be about
oa.t9. Hut all th foregoing things
Seattle and King County are willing
to undertake as soon aa tha War De
partment and other executive heads In
Washington. D. C ara satisfied with
th abilty of tb people to perform
their part of tha contract.
Although tna Oovrnmnt is takin j
tta own good time about "coming
through," the people of Seattle did not
let Progress and Prosperity Day pass
without a demonstration. The main
feature of It. aa had been forecasted,
waa the canal; and closely related was
the beginning of work on the Lake
Union belt line by tha Northern Pa
cific, an Improvement that Is slated to
cost $1,000,000. Ground was also
broken for the L. C. Smith building at
Second avenue and Yealer Wny. a struc
ture to rise to 43 stories. Likewise the
Hogs building. IS stories, for which the
steel frame had been erected In 30 days,
waa one of tha points in the celebra
tion. Another was the formal open
Ing of the Fisher Flouring Mills on
ths West Waterway, a plant costing
3600.000. with a storage capacity of
400.000 bushels of grain and an output
of 3000 barrels of flour per day.
Another part of the celebration waa
devoted to tha Olympian, the first
through passenger train from Chicago
over the Chicago. Milwaukee St.
PauL In tha midst of the Prosperity
Day parade was tha Ballard Shovel
brigade, bringing to mind the year
184, when cltisens began the grading
of Seattle's first railroad. Delegations
were present not only from Ballard, but
from Kenton, Kirkland. Bothell. Du
wamlsh and other points. The Shovel
Brigade led the crowd to the site of
the Smith building, then to the Hnge
building on Second avenue and Cherry
street, and finally with much tooting
of horna and sounding of whistles
marched to Westlake avenue and Pike
street, where they took cars for Phin
ney avenue and Ewlng street. At that
point, to the accompaniment of music
snd much speech-making, the first
spadeful of dirt waa turned for the
portion of the canal between Fremont
and Hallard.
Street X amber Problem I" p.
With extensive Improvements on
every hand. Seattle la again wrestling
with the problem of street nomencla
ture. The lead In tha new move, which
la the third to which tha city has sub
mitted tn a decade, la being taken by
th postofflc. through Charles I.
Lynch, superintendent of malls. It be
gins with Pioneer Place aa the focal
point. With few exceptions it pro
vides numbers for all the avenues east
to Lake Washington: It eliminates
numbered streeta north of Lake Union;
It provldea that all avenues north of
Tesler Wsy be designated "North." and
all avenuea aouth of Yesler Way carry
the designation "South"; and that all
avenues west of First avenue be desig
nated by names Instead of numbers
tn brief, an arrangement whereby there
will b no supplementary title to the
streets, and only "North" or "South"
to the avenues.
The new plan. In which the City En-'
glneer's office aa well as the commer
cial organlxallona of the city has taken
part. Is expected both to do away with
ths present confusion and to provide
for Indefinite extension. One of its de
tails Is to provide for avenue names In
blocks of four esrrying the same In
IttaL and beginning with "A" west of
Queen Ann avenue. North of Lake
Union, following the same scheme, the
streets will carry the titles of colleges.
Tha Lake Washington end of Madison
street will be at about Fiftieth avenue,
instead of Forty-second. In We5t Se
attle and Magnolia Bluff will be found
the same names, the system following
straight lines across the harbor theo
retically connecting the thoroughfares.
The plan will be submitted to various
organizations, and probably will not be
considered by the City Council until
th general public has had a chance to
become thoroughly familiar with It.

Sanitation Ij Principal Feature of
Improvements Planned for Sa
lem Insane Hospital.
SALEM Or, Juno S. (Special.)
When the new .receiving "ward at the
State Asylum for the Insane la plared
In use within a few months some en
tirely new features In the care of the
insane will be inaugurated In thla
state.
The receiving ward will be known aa
a hospital anil all of the new patients
will be kept there until their particular
form of Insanity can be classified and
they can be placed in the proper
wards. During this period care will
he taken to conceal from the patient
that be is at the asylum and should
he recover before It is found necessary
to transfer him to a ward, he will
leave without the knowledge of ever
having been at the asylum.
Arrangements have been made In
the new hospital for aiding in cures by
means of phototherapy. This is by
the use of colored lights in the rooms
where certain patients are kept. Su
perintendent Stelner says various col
ored lights have beneficial effects on
certain classes of Insane, so rooms
have been fitted up with windows con
taining red lights, violet hues and
other colors to suit the ' whims and
needs of the various patients.
Flowing baths are also arranfred for.
a feature which is practically new.
The patients will be swung in ham-mot-ks
over the baths and lie in a con
tinuous flow of water, sometimes as
long as four days. Meals will be
served to them in the tubs and they
will sleep in the flow of water, the
water being at a temperature suited
y tha needs of the particular case.
jtnother feature in the new receiv
ing hospital will be a training school
for nurses. Provision has been made
for them to have seats in the balcony
above the operating-room and every
nurse at the Institution will be re
quired to pass through the course In
the receiving hospital. When they are
transferred to the iain institution,
their salaries will be graded as to
efficiency that they have developed
during their training course.
. Sanitary arrangements are complete
throughout the hospital. The wash
rooms are so arranged that surgeons
need touch nothing with their hands
when washing in preparation for an
operation and the flow of water is all
controlled by the knee or the foot. The
operating-room is all solid marble and
a combination plaster and the entire
room is water proof.
Following an operation the walls,
floors and seats may alk be sterilized
by turning hot water into every part
of the room, thus avoiding dangers ot
Infection which are sometimes the re
sult of operations in unsanitary sur
DEMOCRATS FIGHT BILL
Walla Walla Jefferson Club Against
Commission Government.
WALLA WALLA, Wash.. June 3.
(Special.) Placing themselves on rec
ord as strongly opposing a commission
form of government tinder the Allen
bill, members of the Jefferson Club,
Democratic, at the regular monthly
meeting held In the Drumheller build
ing last night, voted 17 to 8 against a
change of municipal government for
Walla Walla, following a debate on
"Resolved. That the" City of Walla Wal
la should adopt a commission form of
government under the Allen bill," in
which Attorney N. A. Stafford and P.
B. Keaney upheld the atrlrmative side
of the issue and Representative Fran
cis A. Garrecht favored the negative.
Presided over by Chairman William
Rits, members of the club lent ready
ears to a subject at this time of such
vital Importance to the citizens of Wal
la Walla, which was forcibly discussed
by the debaters.
"Better to bear the ills we have than
to fly' to others of which we know
nothing," said Mr. Garrecht, voicing
the prevailing sentiment.
BIG PACK IS EXPECTED
Washington Fish, Commissioner Says
. High Price Will Affect Salmon.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. June 3. (Special.)
According to a statement given out
by John L. Riseland. State Fish Com
missioner, in Olympia today, the 1911
salmon pack will be the largest ever
put up in Washington during an off
year. This he attributes to the fact
that market prices are high and this
is the year when the humpback sal
mon will run in large numbers.
The canners and packers will put up
everything possible, owing to the stiff
ened market, and as a result practically
1,000.000 cases of humpbacks are ex-
pected. Every cannery in the state
will be in operation and Commissioner
Riseland says the conditions in an off
year never looked better than now.
The next big run comes in 1913.

Aids Nature
The great success of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak
lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on
the recognition of the fundamental truth that "Golden
Medical Discovery" supplies Nature with body-building,
tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in con
densed and concentrated form. With this help Nature
supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest
food, tT.ld up the body and thereby throw off lingering
obstinate coughs. The "Discovery" re-establishes the
digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies
and enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves in
short establishes sound vigorous health.
It your dealer oners something "last as ood,"
It is probably better FOR HIM---it pays better.
But you are thinking ot the cure not the profit, so
there's nothing "lust as ood" tor you. Say so.
