FALL OF FORTY FEET
Remarkable Experience of Pat
rick MuIhern, Laborer
at the Hospital.
WALKS INTO OPEN ELEVATOR SHAFT
Rubbish Breaks Force and He 4:
Taken Out but Slightly
Injured.

Few have escaped in Il more re-
markable manner from death or seri-
Gus injury than did Patrick Mulhern,
a middle aged man employed as labor
er at st. Anthony's hospital, yester-
day afternoon.
just before 6 o'clock he was work
ing on the third or top floor of the
new wing of the hospital building.
He is somewhat near-sighted, and as
it was growing dusk he did not no.
tice the open elevator shaft as he
passed along the corridor. The first
thing he knew he was pitching down
ward through space.
Two or three times he turned over
in his fall and when he reached the
bottom, 40 feet below the starting
point, he alighted face downward up
on the accumulation of lath, mortar
and other rubbish that had been
dropped there during the work of fin
ishing the upper floors. The debris
undoubtedly saved his life.
Not Severely Hurt.
No one saw his fall, but another
workman was near and knew what
had happened. He ran to the rescue,
expecting to find the mangled re-
mains of Mr.. Mulhern at the bottom
of the shaft. Instead, he found
man who was very much alive indeed
and ready to tell how it happened.
The victim of the accident was help
ed out and given surgical attention.
No bones were broken, but there
were some bad cuts and bruises, es-
pecially about the face. The shaking
up received was pretty severe and
Mr.. Mulhern was kept in bed today.

is LARGE AT
THE TEACHERS CONVENTION

Two important general sessions
and numerous section meetings kept
the Northern Illinois Teachers asso-
citation busy at Rockford yesterday.
The convention is the largest in the
history of the association, over 900
pedagogues being in attendance.
DIR. Graham Taylor, of Chicago
Commons. was the principal speaker
last night, his subject being The Re
sponsibiIity of the Public School for
Ethics He made a strong plea for
the incubation of the social spirit in
school life. School teachers can
bring to the hearts, the minds. and
the consciences of the people as no
others can the rights and wrongs of
government and citizenship. Said DR..
Taylor:
There needs be more correct and
an active effort toward social unifica-
ton. The child must be taught that
the man who digs in the often is as
important in his place as the astron-
omer."
At the morning session Judge II. S.
Tuthin discussed THE Problem of the
Delinquent Boy" He said the public
school system of the day is defective
because of the lack of parental
schools, and made a plea for them.
1t is expected Cook county man
will be selected for the presidency,
either Prof. Kingsley, of Evanston, or
Supt. Orville T. Bright. The nomin-
ating committee will report today.
An appropriation of $3.50 was made
for Chicago Commons.

TO BREAK UP THE RING
End of the Rule of the Sheriff's
Office Clique is in
Sight.
HEIDER Is THE LAST STRAW
May Have Overridden the Conven-
tions, But Cannot Do 1t
With the People.

1t is more apparent daily that
the people of Rock Island coun-
~ have become thoroughly weary of
ring rule in the sheriff's Office. 1t has
reached that point where no matter
what may be the preference or in
clination of even the republican par
~ itself, the ring succeeds in control
ling the nomination when the con-
vention assemblies. Last spring the
clique of which Sheriff l.. +. Cralle is
at present the head decided that for
good and sufficient reasons &. w.
Heider should be nominated for sher-
itf, and. Notwithstanding that such
proposition seemed preposterous, es-
pecially where there were so many
time-tried members of the party who
desired the office, the trick was turn
ed that put the nomination through.
Heider was nominated much to the
amazement of delegates themselves.
Cradles Boast Fulfilled.
1t was what Cralle had declared he
would do when he made Heider his
deputy four years before, and the re-
publican party was not able to get
together a convention that would
Illustrate the sheritf's purpose.
Heider has been the pet
about the sheriff's Office during
the four years of the present regime,
and yet he has done less work than
any of the deputies. He has in fact
enjoyed the advantages that others
were entitled to all along, and in the
end secured a nomination that clear
ly belonged to someone else. And yet
he has the audacity to ask those
whose rights he has overridden to
help him pull his job in.
1t is Up to the People Now.
But neither he nor his sponsor can
succeed at the present stage. The
time has arrived for the breaking of
the ring. for the Cralle-Heider push
is to be overruled at the polls.

that in fact the daily food of the

chief difference is that the British

Apropos of the bread tax" above re

the New York World, of the 18th inst.
Much unconscious humor pervades
the comment of the American protec'
ZIONIST newspapers upon the new Brit
ish tariff tax on the stuffs that bread
is made from.
1T is amusing, to begin with, to
find them quite unanimous that the
British people who eat the tariff-taxed
American breadstufs-and not the
American farmers who grow and ex-
port them-will pay the tax. The for.
eigner pays the tariff duty is a maxim
good for campaign use only right here
at home. 1t does not apply in Great
Britain. And certainly II does not.

and no wonder that they are crying out
against the government, and against
the war in South Africa. If that war
is not speedily settled in South Africa
England is likely to have a serious dis
turbance at home.
The astuteness displayed by some
Of our protected contemporaries here
and elsewhere, in constituting the re.
cent constrained levy of a tariff tax
on breadstuffs by Great Britain to be
a step toward protective tarlff policy
by that free trade nation, is truly
amazing. Manlfestly the present

Ennland,s Bread Tax.

Dom Paul Kruger predicted that the
war in South Africa would stagger hu-
manity Certain it is that the war
has staggered England, and there Is
vet no telling what the end will be.
The British budget shows the cost OF
the war to date has been no less than
1925 ITO 900, while the national debt
has now mounted 10 the enormous
figure of S3,7S9O30,OOO, an increase
for the past year OF S290,OOOOOO. The
budget shows further that the expendi'
lures last year aggregated $S7S, ,O45.OOO'
that there is a deficit OF $226,62O,OOO'
and that there is a new bond issue OF
$3.50 900 900 to be sold. Now on top Oh

there is 10 be a bread tax. The people

the administration OF afiairs and with
the great expenditure Of money, as
we'll as the great sacrifice of life In
South Africa, and now that this tax
has been placed upon their bread they
are loud in their protests.
Not since 1869 has there been tax
on the bread OF the British working
man, and there are many who fear the
results Of such a move. The budget
proposes a tax Of six cents per hundred

grain a tax OF ten cents per hundred
