THE UNION STATION IDEA.
Chicago to Examine the Question
Through q Committee.

Chicago to Examine the Question
Through q Committee.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Whether a union railway station is de-
sirable and practicable for Chicago is a
question than which a more difficult one
could hardly be asked touching the city 8
physical development. To dogmatize
therefore, either for or against the idea Is
as wide of the mark as it Is appropriate
that it's merits should If possible. be ade-
quately canvassed. 1t is accordingly q
cause for congratulation that the city coun-
Gil has requested the mayor to appoint q
special committee of three railway men,
three real estate men and three aldermen to
inquire into the subject and report.
Steam transportation, especially that
higher organization demanded In and for
great centers, Is in primitive and there
fore conspicuously crude stage of develop
ment. Common streets-datfng back some
thousands Of years-have come to conform
to recognized and substantially defensible
wfde lined with architecture and consti-
tute not only the thoroughfares but to a
large extent the monuments of civilization.
Steam railway streets, however-which be-
gan to be built scarcely two generations
ago, and which have forced their way into
cities never planned for their reception,
and in which they still have no scientifcal-
ly assigned place-constitute a nightmare of
confusion, duplication, wasted space, in
convenience, ciangor and ugliness. The
steam railroads of Chicago, in their loca-
lions and relations, bespeak precipitate en-
ergy, but not structural unity, reasonable
convenience TOR urban, suburban or long

JUVENILE DEFENDANTS.
Lads Aged Four and Seven Years Ar
raiGned for HOnsebrea king.

Lads Aged Four and Seven Years Ar
raigned for HOUSEKEEPING.
A striking case of Juvenile depravity was
brought TO the attention of Prosecuting At
torney Gordon in Judge SCOTS court to-
day when Myer Johnson, aged four years,
and Julius Johnson, aged seven, appeared
at court charged with housebreaking. The
younger OF the two boys was scarcely two
feet tall. Both are precocious, however,
but they apparently failed to realize the
seriousness Of the offense charged against
them.
Philip Smith, who conducts a stone yard
at LIST and streets southwest, was the
complainant against the boys. He charged
that yesterday evening they wrenched off
a blind on one of his office windows and
gained access to his private papers. He
further alleged that they opened his safe
and removed a number of checks and valu-
able papers, most of which they scattered
about the floor. They also appropriated
several personal letters belonging and ad-
dressed to the complainant, which they
afterward dropped in a mail box, and which
were redelivered to him by a letter carrier.
Mr.. Smith claims that the total damage
done by the boys amounted to about $50.
Officer Banagan made the arrests. When
he appeared with the youths at Mr.. Cor
don's Office today Mr.. Smith and Mr.. John
son, the latter the father of the boys, had
reached an agreement whereby 1t was de-
cided that the case would not be prose-
cuted. A nolle pros. was therefore entered.

Young Colored Mana Tale

Louis Scott. young colored man. who
told the police his home is at No. 1850 18th
street northwest, called at the third pre-
cinct station this morning and asked that
detective accompany him to the British
embassy. He said the King Of England
and Lord Pauncefote had agreed to pay
him $3.50 for starving him for three months
During one OF these months he declared
he was the victim of electrical experiments
and at times he felt that he would go
crazy. People had been following him
about the streets annoying him. he said
ana ne had been prevented from getting
employment.
bis parents, the young man informed the
police, own the building in which Lord
Pauncefote lives, and in which they are
employed. Because of their ownership he
lmagines he has a right to occupy part OF
1t.
The police took the young man to police
headquarters, where he was interviewed by
SANITARY Officer Frank. after which he was
locked up to be examined by the police
surgeons.

The Law Provides for a Force of
12.O0O.
One of the important duties to which
General Corbn will attend in the Philip
pines will be the enlistment of natives as
a part of the army in the Philippines. The
army law authorizes the President to or
ganize force Of not more than 1900 Fiji
pinos as scouts, to be differed by Ameri
cans. At present 5000 Fflipinos are acting
as scouts. They are organized into about
forty companies and are serving in almost
as many different portions of the islands.
It is quite probable that such natives of
the present scouting force desire to en-
list in the regular force Yill be accepted.
LieutenantS of the regular army are to
be selected as captains of the companies
and non-commissioned officers of the regu-
lar army will serve as first and second

Hague Arbitration Court.

Berlin, June 15.-F. w. Hollis, United
States member of The Hague arbitra-
ton court. during an interview said
that The Hague Arbitration Court had
only just been organized by the ap-
pointment of the last of the fifty-five
judges, but several international ques-
tions are already before the court. The
Transvaal question was certainly not
one of these. because The Hague peace
conference had decided that the Boer
states We're not sovereign states.
The court will not be in permanent
session, but will only act when suit
able questions are presented to it, when
the whole court will select bench to
adjudicate each question.
Mr.. Hollis said both Count Won Bue-
low and Baron Won Richthofen. foreign
minister, has received him in the most
kindly manner, sharing his belief that
The Hague court was, like the Magma
Charta, an agreement around which
future International law will crystal
ize. Mr.. Hollis believes that the En-
peror, the German government and the
German people are now sincerely in
favor of The Hague Arbitration Court
on all questions which seem to proper

is all the more remarkable because

weighty objections to urge against ar

Denver, June 1S-Charles Gavin,
who has record as a safe blower
and professed repentance and religion,
has fallen by the wayside. He reached
Denver last Thursday from Kiowa, Ell
bert county, where he was tried on the
charge Of blowing the safe at Elizabeth
last October. He announced to mis-
friends that he had reformed. He said
he had become n Christian and that ne
intended to lead pious life. He
added that he was going to try and get
his son John out of Jail at San Diego,
California. The boy was very bright,
he said, and he had received assurance
from his friends that as soon as he
was released from the prison he would
take n course in the school of mines
at Golden, Colorado. The safe blower
then declared he was going to try and
bring influence to bear to have his
other son, Charles, released from the
penitentiary at Canon City, where, he
is serving term for robbery.
n In Kiowa at his trial Gavin was de-
Tended by a lawyer sent to represent
him by the women of Colorado Springs
who had become interested in him
while he was serving n sentence in

A recent letter to the Chicago Tri-
bune from a Mindanao correspondent
says that the United States commits
sion had been steaming around the
coasts of Mindanao, touching at the
principal ports, to interview the lead
ing Inhabitants gathered in from the
adjacent districts. Two important
points were settled-namely that Min
danao shall not be ruled by local gov
ernments, and that slavery shall be
abolished throughout the island. The
commission went to Mindanao
with the intention of estab
fishing several provincial govern
ments, but they were not long in aban-
doning that intention. That much was
soon decided at Zamboanga, and the
further the commissioners penetrated
into the country, and the more familiar
they became with the heterogeneous
character of it's people, the more they
were convinced of the unwisdom of at
tempting to apply any considerable
measure of civil government on Ameri
can lines to the people, the great ma
jority of whom are nothing more nor

Cattabatta, one day out from Zamboan-
ga, the commission got into contact
with one phase of the real life of Min

practically all Chinese. The Filipino
population of Cattabatto is insignifi-
cant both as to trade and numbers.
The Cinnamon control the town and
the trade of the whole region. They
conduct themselves with such honesty
and tact that they seem to be on the
best of terms with everybody. The
leading Chinese traders at Cattabatto
have business connections at Singa-
pore and Hongkong, which bring ad
vantage both to the Moros and them
selves. When the commission disem-
barked on the high river bank they

GAVIN'S REFORMATION PROVES
\ TO BE OF SHORT DURATION

Sunday" Gavin managed to get
whisky. He became intoxicated, his
wife says, and returning home abused
her.
She called at the police station and
reported the matter to Chief Arm
strong. She said that her husband had
beaten her numerically and had
threatened to kill her. Her face was
bruised and her eyes blackened.
There were several black and blue
marks on Mrs Gavin's neck, indicating
that she had been choked. She said
she wanted her husband arrested, as
she feared that if he remained out Of
Jail he would carry out his threat to
kill her.
Five years ago, while Charles Gavin
was serving term in the peniten-
tiary at Canon City on the charge Of
burglary, his wife obtained a divorce
from him. She afterwards married an
other man, but the marriage was not
happy one and the couple separated.
When Gavin called at the police sta.
ton few days ago he said that it was
his intention to marry his former wife
again. OF course she would have to
get n divorce from her new husband in
order to carry out this program, but as
he had deserted her this was not re-
garded as difficult to accomplish.
Gavin kept sober for several days.
1t was thought that he had really re-
nounced his evil life and had intended
to reform.
Gavin is forty-five years of age and
at present has the appearance Of n
clergyman. He wears a long black
coat and striped trousers. This, with
n black hat and full beard, which is
parted in the middle, gives the safe
blower a decidedly clerical appearance.
