ROOSEVELT SAYS GUARD HOME.
Makes Address at a Washington Catho-
10 Chu-c1,


Speaking at the 10th anniversary of
the founding of st. Patrick's church in
Washington President Roosevelt said:
'While in this country we need wise
laws, honestly and fearlessly executed,
and while we cannot afford to tolerate
anything but the highest standard in
public service of the government, yet
in the last analysis the future of the
country must depend upon the quality
of the individual home, of the individual
man or woman in that home.
eve have grown to accept it as an
automatic truth of our American life that
the man is to be treated on his worth as
man, without regard to the accidents
of his position; that this is not a gov
eminent designed to favor the rich man
as such, or the poor as such, but that 1t
is designed to favor every man, rich or
poor if he is a decent man, who acts
fairly by his fellows.
''The field for charitable, philanthropic,
religious work is wide and that while a
corner of it remains untitled we do q
dreadful wrong if we fail to welcome the
work done in that field by every man, no
matter what his creed, provided only
he works with lofty sense of his duty
to God and his duty to his neighbor."

chICAoO'S HUGE SUBWAY PLANS
Bores Once Intended for Wires Are to
Become Arteries of Traffic.

A. complete revolution of the methods
of handling the freight business OF prac-
tically all of the railroads having ter
minals in Chicago is promised by the Chi
cago Subway Company, which has been
Incorporated in New Jersey. with capt.
talization of $5O,000,0O0 and Immediately
came into possession of the Chicago Tun-
mel Company. Behind this definite an
nouncement of purpose is said to lie
strong possibility that ultimately the
street railway systems of the city will
be provided with subways in the heart
of the city, aSd thus further relieve the
congestion which has been complained Of
for years.
1t is strongly limited that the construc-
ton of subway directly above the tun-
nels is contemplated at some time, and
that a controlling interest in the Illinois
Tunnel Company was achieved in order
to avoid litigation and embarrassment
during the construction period.
Here are some of the things promised
when the full scope of the scheme is in
operation:
Freight traffic will be diverted from
the streets to the tunnels, and the streets
thus relieved of the dirt incidental to
teaming
Railroad freight yards will be removed
ten or fifteen miles from the central part
Of the city, thus leaving valuable real
estate available for other business uses.
All freight will be handled more expe-
ditiously, the cars to which freight has
been transferred at the outer yards COM
ing into the city by the tunnels and cleo
trio motors.
With the passing of freight locomo-
tives the city will be relieved of so per
cent of the smoke nuisance.
The necessity for tearing UP pave
ments will be practically overcome when
telegraph and telephone wires. gas pipes,
water pipes and other public utilities are
placed within the tunnels.
Mail will be handled more quickly
when letters and parcels can be dropped
directly into the tunnels through mail
boxes. and thence conveyed directly to
the postoffice.

MYSTERY OF AUTO RIDE.
Professional Chauffeur Slain on
Lonely Country Road.

In the darkness of q lonely country
road, John w. Bate, Jr., professional
chauffeur and son of a wealthy man,
prominent in the automobile world, was
slain the other night. The scene was
on a road paralleling the Joliet electric
line, two and half miles southeast of
Lemont, III There Bate was found lean
ing forward in the front seat of the au-
tomObile with bullet wound in the back
of his head The automobile had been
turned about. A revolver lay on the
scat.
A carefully laid scheme is believed by
many to have preceded the murder. So
luton of the midnight crime, presenting
elements Of mystery worthy the genius of
a Sherlock Holmes, seemed to battle the
efforts of the police. That young Bate
was the victim of bank robbers, an angry
passenger or Il pedestrian was advanced.
The woman motive was taken by Morris
Stokes. employed with Bate, who says
that for weeks Bate had been receiving
gushing love letters from an infatuated
society woman who had ridden with him.
An unsigned letter found upon the body
evidently had been written by a Tilted
woman.
The police theory was that two men
planning Il bank robbery tried to force
Bate to carry them to Joliet and that he
rcbelled. This rebellion, in the minds of
the police, determined the safe blowers
to make way with man who had be-
come dangerous to them. Therefore, af-
ter bitter quarrel, they shot and killed
~, l,,, 10
his steering apparatus. 1t is urged in
opposition to this theory that the rob-
bcrs and murderers did not denude the
machine of Identification evidence-the
number 21S. Daniel Canary. Bates en-
Iloyer, after he had heard all the de-
tails, supported this theory.
Opponents of the desperate theory con-
tended that Bate was slain by some one
over whom he had almost run his ma
chine. This is the view taken by the
coroner of Will county, who contends
that Bate had been running his automo-
bile recklessly, had probably lost his way
after taking a fare to Lemont and mar
rowly escaped killing n pedestrian.
Everybody knows the residents of this
locality are quick enough to shoot" said
the cOrOner'S assistant, land it requires
no big stretch of the imagination to find
a farmer of this neck of the woods pull
ing out gun and taking shot at an
automobile which had nearly run over
him."
1t is believed that the chauffeur was
shot while the machine was still in mo-
ton and that the person who fired the
shot experienced difficulty in bringing
the machine to Il standStill.

CHURCHES JOIN TO SAVE BOYS.

Reign of Crime in Brooklyn Starts
Unique Religious Crusade.
The misdeeds of hundreds of young
men connected with well-known families

Y, which began several years ago by the
formation of the bedford gang" and
finally led to many of them and their
recruits being connected with criminal
cases, much to the disgust of residents
in that quarter. has caused the Inaugural
ton of q remarkable religious campaign
for the publication of the youths who
passed their time about the street cor
ners.
The first night of the Campaign of
evangelization," as it is called, began
with a street parade in which tramped
1000 men with banners. with the band
of the Twenty-third regiment playing
hymns at the fore. The mile of frock-
coated paraders moved through Bedford
avenue to Hancock street, where hung
a great banner. There they held an open.
air meeting.
Ministers from fifty churches of all
Protestant denominations were in attend
ance and many of them made short adj
dresses. Every church in the district is
joining in the movement.
The street corner meeting ended, the
brass band again headed the procession,
and it marched to the Central Presbyte-
rian church, where a meeting for men
had been called. The church has a ca
pacity OF 100. Every seat was taken
and hundreds were turned away. Six
ministers made short addresses, telling
the purposes of the movement. which. it
was announced, will continue throughout
the winter.
