CHICAGO DELEGATES.

Two States Will BE offered,
Making Election Interesting.

Mrs. Laura Mulliner is the ac-
credited delegate from ST. Phillips
court, Chicago, to the convention of
the Women's Catholic Order Of For
esters. The matter was decided this
morning in Plymouth church and con-
trary to expectation there was no ex-
citing discussion, no. vigorous oppo-
sition.
Mrs. Reyburn of Chicago, the dep
uty who presided at the election In
st. Phillips court when the delegate
was chosen, stated the facts. Mrs.
Mulliner is chief ranger of her court
and at the time of the election she
resigned the chair to Mrs. Reyburn.
Two names were presented as dele
gates, those Of Mrs. Mulliner and Mrs.
Lester. The latter was elected, but
when the vote was announced she
rose and resigned in favor of Mrs.
Mulliner. Mrs. Mulliner was duly an
nounced as the delegate and she in
turn nominated Mrs. Lester as alter
nate, to which office she was elected.
When, several weeks later, Mrs.
Lester decided she would like to act
as delegate, she claimed the creden-
tails, and the matter was taken be-
fore the high court, which did not

JONES OPENS CAMPAIGN
MAKES FIRST SPEECH IN HIS
HOME ARD-ANNOUNCEs w.
w. HEFFEIFINGER HIS MAN.
AGER.

David P. Jones made his debut last
evening before a large audience at the
Fifth ward house, SOL Eleventh street
S, as republican mayoralty aspirant.
In his capacity as alderman of the
ward, he welcomed those present to
the new ward building.
The platform on which shall run
for mayor seems to be generally I'M
derstood,'' said Mr.. Jones. For the
past six years as an alderman I have
been trying to do my duty, and now,
in response to what seems to be a
suppressed feeling that there is per-
haps room for another candidate for
nomination as mayor, I have entered
the field. If I have not struck the
right chord in so doing, and am not
nominated will give the right hand
Of fellowship to him who is nOmin-
ated. If I am nominated and elected,
I shall use my best endeavors to do
my duty. My candidacy is an offer of
public service, subject to the will Of
the people, and it is for the voters to
determine if they want me. In my
campaign, want the advice and sug-
gestions of all my neighbors and
friends
Mr. Jones then announced that Wal
ter w. Heffeifinger, who had just re-
turned that evening from an extended
absence from the city, would be the
sisted by A. M. Geesaman, in charge
Of campaign headquarters.
U. G.. Williams and John Schlener,
the other republican candidates for
mayor, were both given hearings.
They spoke briefly. DR.. Ames spoke,
extolling the primary election system,
and said it should be extended to state
offices. w. T.. Coe and Loren Fletcher
and twenty-three other candidates
were present,

This is the explanation of Glen

George Pola, his 14-year-old chum, at
the east end of the Franklin avenue
bridge last night. The Phillips boy

morning and was finally dismissed,

picion Of crime. *.
We We're playing about Weaver,s

when the Weaver boy told us that he
had hidden some candy in an out
house. George and ran to the house
and in looking for the candy Iifound
a small revolver Not knoingw 1t was
loaded, / took the gun and snapped
it twice, when it went off. George
cried: oh, dear, am shotv and ran
out of the building. ~
He then asked me for some water
and ran to get it for him, but when
I came back he wouldn't drink nor
for help. They carried George into
the candy store and the patrol wagon
took him away. / didn't mean to kill
him, for we were always clluns and
/ liked him.
At the hospital, where he died i'm
mediately upon his arrival, it was
found that the bullet had entered
Pola's face below the right eye and
had penetrated the brain. There Is
no reason to believe that the unfor-
tunate affair was anything but an ac-
cident.

ONLY SMALL PENSIONERS
Those Receiving sic or More May Be
Barred from Home.

Veterans having a pension of SIS a

Soldiers home in the future The home
has suffered loss Of $1,000 a year thru
the Lind law, passed at Washington last
year, which denies the home the use of
any of the pension money Of the inmates.
The expenses Of the home about equal
the receipts. When the pension money
was taken away it was thought that the
deficit might be made up by cutting
down salaries. But it is feared that even
by the strictest management the home

proposition has been discussed of only al
