European Writer Says They Are Worse
Than Those Of London.
Chicago. Sept. 12.-Foster Frazer, an
Monies, and Thomas Erskine, British
vice. consul, accompanied Factory In
spector Davies on a tour thru the
sweatshops of Chicago. While Mr..
Frazer said the sanitary conditions OF
the sweatshops were much better than
in many European cities he had visit
ed, he declared that he believed the
general condition of the workers worse
than in England. He declared he had
never in his life seen as dirty streets as
those of Chicago. and wondered why a
city that led the world in many respects
could tolerate such conditions. AT one
place in the Ghetto the party found
thirty-two families in one building.
They were all Italians. One old woman
was industriously sewing boys trous-
ers, and by working long hours she
could earn as much as 33 cents day.
Mr.. Foster said that in England AZ
cents would be paid for the same
amount of work. Then he said, consid-
ering the cost of living here as COM
pared to London. the sweatshop inhab-
itants were really worse off here. ex-
cept that the places We're kept cleaner.
The filthy condition of the children on
the streets, he said, was the worst fea-
ture he had seen in this city. In Eng
land, he explained, the mothers send
their children to creches, where nom-
inal charge of cents day is made for
caring for them

Boston, Sept 12.-Greenleaf Pickard.
of this city, has just succeeded in per-
forming scientific feat never before
accomplished.
He has telephoned by Hertsian waves.
The human voice was accurately and
distinctly reproduced. Officials of the
Bell Telephone company who were in
vited to witness the test signed GER
tificate that it was successful. The in
struments We're in two rooms OF Mr..
Pickard's house, and it remains to ba
seen whether they will work over great
err distances. The inventor does not
yet claim that the device will be COM
mercial success. but hopes to make 1t
such in the near future
Recently he constructed an instru-
ment at Cape May by which sounds
were transmitted by Hertsian waves
over a distance of forty miles. At that
time articulation was not reproduced,
but this is now accomplished, tho for
only short distance.

WORST STORM LOSSES.

We have Il report from the hill coun-
try along the Mississippi river which
tells sorry story Of the terrible ruin
wrought to the cultivated fields by the
washing Of the unusual floods of rain.
These fields have been despoiled OF
nearly all their fertility and scanned
and gashed with watercourses many
feet in depth. The damage from this
source, IS we have mentioned before.
Is far greater than all the losses sus-
tanned by the destruction of crops be-
cause 1t is a permanent loss and one
which can never be repaired.

ADVANCE IN LAND PRICES.

Every year which passes will make
1t more and more difficult for poor
man to secure piece Of land for q
farm. He is now almost barred out by
the high prices Of land from all the
older settled portions Of the country.
and If the advance in land values con-
tinues for another year there will be
very little cheap and desirable farm
land to be obtained anywhere in the
country. Men will have to be content
with fewer acres, which will involve
better methods and larger crops, which
In the long run will not be bad thing
either for the man or the country.

women 20 appear III 0dTueUs'
Indianapolis. Ind, Sept. 1.-TWO
women were compelled to try on a
night dress in the police court yester-
day during the trial Of one of them on
charge of stealing the garment Mrs.
Mary Lyons alleged it was taken from
her apartments in the Mclean Place
flats, a stylish north side residence
building. She had caused the arrest of
Mrs. James Hamilton. who had once
resided in the same flats.
Each woman was so positive In her
declaration of ownership that Oran
Muir, acting Judge of the court, was at
& loss to know how to decide the case.
Finally he declared that, as the women
were not of the same build it might as
sist him to reach conclusion by see
ing the gown on each of them.
The protests of Mrs. Lyons attorneys
were of no avail, and sheir client was
compelled to retire to !. waiting room
and don the gown. Altho she wore her
street dress beneath the gown, Mrs.
Lyons appeared to be greatly embar-
raised.
Mrs. Hamilton was next required to
try on the garment. 1t appeared too
large for her, but fitted Mrs. Lyons
closely. The judge fined Mrs. Hamil-
ton and committed her to Jail.

Boys Condition Attributed TO Shock
Sustained by Picking Up Live Wire.
Waukegan, ILL.,, SEPT. 12.-Because
his 10-year-old son banks like dog and
has been transformed from bright
boy to a helpless object of pity Hugh
lett M. Harrell. of North Chicago, has
sued the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
Railway Company ara the Mineral
Point Zinz Company for $4,000.
The complaint alleges that the boys
condition is due to negligence on the
part of the railway company in failing
to take proper precautions for the
safety of the public.
Young Harrell, while crossing the
railroad track on May % took hold of a
live wire which trailed on the ground.
The shock was so severe that for some
time death was feared. His recovery
was followed by the loss or control over
his muscles and generally wrecked
physical condition, hence the suit.

New York, Sept. 12.-Local turfmen
We're astonished yesterday to learn tnat
a prominent trotting horse owner had
put an ailing equine star in the hands
of Christian Science practitioner, ana
the outcome of the treatment has as
tonished the horses owner, who de-
clares that the animal is once more fit
to race for any mans money. The
horse is Lord Vincent, winner OF the
famous $4,000 Pennsylvania stake at
Lexington, KY. and the owner is Will

stimulating devices are barred Oh the

After he had won the Pennsylvania

Franklin Blake. Christian Scientist,
practitioner and reader at the Second
Church of Christ, said today that he
had not heard of this incident, but he
knew no reason to doubt the Youngs-

was asked If it was not harder to treat
horses than men.

OF the race.
But political bombslell with harm
