Organisation Established for Educating Americana Concerning Situation In the Philippines. CHICAGO. Dec. 31.-Mrs. Glendower Evans, of Boston, last night adJress?d meeting; at Hull House In which she explained the purposes of an organisa tion established ten days ago In Bos ton that has for its object the educa tion of the American people concern ing the situation in the Philippines. It -is the intention of the organisation to establish auxiliary societies throughout the country and as soon as congress Is ready to take up the Philippine legis lation the citiiens cf the United States, it is believed, will understand the situ ation. The name of the new organization is the Philippine Information Society. Mrs. Evans, who is one of the founders, I'M conceived the idea through inves t'gatlng the government reports in which she found much valuable Infor mation. It is for the purpose of interesting Chicagoans that Mrs. Evans Is in the city at the present time. She hopes to establish a branch of the society here and if she is successful Chicago will enjoy the distinction of being the first city to establish an auxiliary. "The Philippine Information Society is strictly non-partisan as to politics," said Mrs. Evans. "It Includes both Republicans and Democrats, so-called imperialists and anti-imperialists, in its membership. We organized the so ciety about ten days ago. The pur pose? of the society is to collect and distribute, in so far as It Is able, author itative information about the Philip pines, such as Is to be found not In partisan literature but for example In the correspondence and reports of mil itary, naval and diplomatic officials. This Is Information of which the Amer ican people In general are not cog nizant, largely because of the volumi nous nature of the reports In which such correspondence is to be found. An earnest attempt will be made to deal with all material In a strictly non partisan manner." Mrs. Evans will probably leave to night for her home In Boston. PNEUMONIA AT DAWSON.
