LONDON PLAN FOR CHICAGO
General VIM. Booth Will Provide
Work for Chicago's Unemployed

Chicago, Feb 6.-According to Col
onel Brewer of the Salvation Army,
Chicago is to be made the center of
vast system of social settlements sim
liar to that in operation in England
made famous by General William Booth
of the Salvation Army. Arrangements
have been made whereby General Booth
is to- come to Chicago and personally
direct the Inauguration of the move
ment He will apply the practical
knowledge of such work CLEANED in the
principal cities of the world to the es-
Enlistment of a system of city colonies
where at least temporary work will be
offered every idle man in the city, will
place spacious tenement houses under
the supervision of the Army, and later
will extend the movement to form colo
MES within a radius of several hundred
miles from the city.
Eventually the movement will include
the whole country. The methods will
be the same as those employed IN Lon
don. In that metropolis the 5000 men
sheltered in one year cost $780, but
all but SIS 900 of this amount was con-
tributed by the persons helped. 1t has
been estimated that the expense to the
city for the same work would have
been $500, coo, with no return in work.
Colonel Brewer said that the first eff
fort will be to enlarge the Prison Gate
home, the Albemarle food and relief
depot and other relief institutions in
Jl1S city. OIH6IS VIII OG OIC1ACd anu
factories. where the work done will not
interfere with the products of outside
labor, will be established.
1.-The next and most important step,
said Colonel Brewer, will be to Sc
cure several large tracts of land in the
neighborh0od of Chicago. As far as
possible the tide of immigration is to be
turned backward from the city to the
land and the congestion in the crowded
districts relieved. On these farms, I'M
der supervision of Army officers, the
men will be taught to support them
selves. They will thus cease to be de-
pendent upon charity and instead will
become producers and consumers.
Commander Booth-Tucker will re-
turn to Chicago within two weeks with
the purpose of advancing the arrange
ments and will hold a conference with
students of sociology called by Presi-
dent Harper of the University OF Chi
ca~O"

Lieutenant Wise Goes Kiting In the In
terest of Science.
The first American to take passage on
a kite was Lieutenant Hugh D. Wise,
q. S. A., who is attached to the Ninth
infantry and is stationed on Governors
island, New York harbor. Lieutenant
Wise has been experimenting with kites
for several months with the idea that
under certain conditions kites would lift
a man into the air where he could OBJ
serve the movements of the enemy and
would be more practicable than captive
balloons, which have sometimes been
used in war for the same purpose. After
many discouraging experiments Lieu
tenant Wise recently made an ascent of
40 feet and remained at that height for
five minutes, wholly suspended by his
string Of kites. They were big kites

Gently Formed In Boston.
For the purpose of tracing the Irish
element in the American of today ma
tional association was formed in Boston
recently. 1t is called the American Irish
Historical society, and it was organized
by the election of Admiral Meade as it's
first president. Other prominent citizens
of Irish descent were chosen to fill the
remaining offices, and now the society
is ready for work
Just what this association aims at is
best described in the preamble to its
constitution and bylaws as follows:
Believing that the part taken in the
settlement, foundation and upbui1ding
of this United States by the Irish race
has never received proper recognition
from historians, and inspired by love
for the republic, a pride in cur blood
and forefathers and desire for historic

which he had made himself, and they
were notifications of the -Hargraves
kite, which has been used SO success
fully. The kite frames were made OF
light spruce, and they were covered with
light cotton cloth. Four kites Tere
used, and they were flown tandem.
They contained in all over 400 feet Of
surface, every inch of which had lift
ing power.
The four kites were attached to each
other by a rope, and to this was fastened
an iron ring, just below the lowest kite.
To this ring was fastened a block,
through which was run a light MANILA
rope When the kites were successfully
raised to the proper distance, Lieutenant
Wise seated himself in a boatswain's
chair and was pulled up to the block by
five soldiers. Four more soldiers man
aged the windlass which controlled the
kite rope.
Only two other men have made ascen-
sions IN this manner. One is Lawrence
Hargrave, who went up 40 feet in Aus
tralia in 1895, and the other is Captain
Powell of the Scots Greys, who went
up nearly 100 feet in England.

The CRAWFORD ESTATE suit
Effort to Untangle the Business
Affairs of the Contractors.
The Deceased Partner Is Said to
Have Used Firm Money in Pri-
vate Investments.

A bill in equity was filed today against
their mother, Mrs. Margaret ]. Crawford,
widow OF the late Henry l.. Crawford The
purpose OF the suit is the winding up Of the
business affairs, claimed TO be conducted
by Ludwig S. FiIbert, OF Philadelphia, as
partner of the deceased.
The bill recites that Mr.. Filbert and the
late Henry Crawford forned partnership
in 1880, as general contractors. The
plaintiffs claim that the firm purchased
certain real estate. which is titled in the
individual name OF the deceased, and
since the death OF Mr.. Crawford is con-
sideTed by the heirs as part OF the estate
of their father, when in reality it is part
OF the assets of the business firm.
The property in question Consists of lot
1, square 1913; part o! Joseph's Park, in
Montgomery county, Nd, and a tract in
Prince George county, designated as
BeHemnnte, and certain additions. It is
claimed that the purchase money for the
property was furnished by the firm.
Mr. Filbert recItes that the assets OF the
contracting firm amount to S44, ,523.S5,
of which he is entitled to $42,056-01 and
the Crawford estate S2,467 81 In this
connection it is charged that the deceased
made instruments in his own name with the
firms money to the extent OF S9,973.33,
and also drew out such sums as to only en-
title him to the amount named.
The plaintiff asserts that of the shares
in the assets each are subject to one-half
of 81 1893 ga liabilities.
The bill asks an accounting of the estate
which passed to Joseph II. Crawford as ex-
eCtuor of his father, who died August 23,
1896. A sale of the business and decree
establishing the interest OF Mr.. Filbert is

The aisles were well filled within an hour.
The crowds are beginning to find out the

upstairs room OF Center Market, across the
bridge and gangway, east OF the main
hall.
Here, just beyond the lunchrooms and
office, are shown several styles or lncu-
bators. along with number OF appliances
for feeding and the like. One of these is
a device by which the flock may be fed
automatically at the proper time and in
the proper amount, leaving the Dreeder
free to be elsewhere. One Of the incubators
is intervention of Washington nan-H- I.

chickens in all stages, from the piping OF
the egg to the dressed broiler, celery c ],

of the Bureau of Animal Industries, visited
the show yesterday afternoon and were
very much pleased with it.
