SEVERE WINTER RESULTS.
Sickness in encyclopedias Filled
-175 Deaths From Pneumonia.
,cjl-tf-25


CHICAGO, February 17.-Pneumonia, in
fiuenza and bronchitis are keeping Chicago
physicians busy. Nearly every hospital in
the city has one or more cases of pneu-
monia, while the less serious diseases are
even more prevalent. Added to these are
the far greater number of cases treated at
homes, making the list of sufferers long
one.
The situation is complicated by the fact
that nearly every one of Chicago's big hos
pitfalls is filled and unable to take any more
patients
AT the County Hospital there are 900 pa
tents leaving but one vacant bed Condi-
tions are similar in the other large hos

NORTH SIDE RESIDENTS
FORM IMPROVEMENT CLUB
Officers Chosen and Plans Made
for Bettefment of Territory
North of Fall Creek.


THE Northwestern Improvement Club
is the name of the permanent organization
which has been formed for the improve
ment of territory north of Fall creek and
west OF Senate avenue. and, as one of the
members expressed IT, with no western
boundary.
At the meeting held last night c. n. Tyler
was elected temporary chairman and w.
y. Lands temporary secretary. The only
important business which the club trans
acted was election of officers and the adop-
ton of a resolution introduced by l.. o.
Coleman. which reads:
Resolved. That the executive committee
be instructed to at once appear before the
Board of Public Works and urge the i'm
provement of Northwestern avenue as the
resident freeholders have petitioned for
Caldwell; vice president, r. NJ. Deweese;
secretary, Fred Silley; treasurer. S. s.
Moore. The officers, with three others,
form the executive committee. The other
members of the committee elected last
night are: o. w. Brooks. II. NJ. Wing and
G. NJ. Tyler. The executive committee will
have meeting next Monday night and the
club Will meet a week from tomorrow
night
A resolution, which was not voted upon,
openly charged the Board of Public Works
with working in the interest of the Indian
apolis Street-railway Company as far as
the improvement of Northwestern avenue is
concerned. The resolution suppressed
before ii could be voted upon.

BALLOTS ARE PRINTED
FOR REFERENDUM VOTE
When Result OF Miners Poll Is
Known Compromise VIII Prob
ably Be Ratified.
ILLINOIS IS STUBBORN
Sentiment Against Reduction
Strong, While Eastern Districts
Favor Officials Stand.

Active work began yesterday at national
headquarters Of the United Mine Workers
IN the preparation of ballots and circulars
to be distributed among the 10000 miners
Of the soft coal fields, whose individual
votes will decide whether a strike will be
declared on April l or peace will be main
tanned for two years longer in the compel
tive States. Miners of Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa. Michigan, west
ern Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland
will vote
On Tuesday afternoon, March Is. all union
mines in these States will be closed in order
to allow the miners to cast their votes on
the important issue. The returns will be
sent direct to headquarters here, where
they will be counted March IL. The result
of the referendum vote will be known by
the last Of next week
Many contracts for the coming year de-
pend upon the result of the referendum
vote. Most of the district conferences of
outlying States are held during March in
order TO sign up contracts between the
miners and operators. The contracts
always made with the competitive scale as
basis of their wage agreements, and for
this reason these States have diff
Guilty this year. The majority of the con-
ferences, IL is understood, are being post
poned until the result of the vote on the
compromise Is known. The joint conference
OF miners and operators of West Virginia,
Wnlch was TO convene tomorrow, has been
indefinitely postponed Central Pennsylva-
MA has also postponed its annual confer
ence, as have most of the outlying States.
II is now believed that there will be no
strike or the miners in the competitive
states While there is a division of senti-
ment In every State concerned, il is thought
that by the time the vote is taken reason
Will nave placed a majority of the miners
on the side of their leaders, who favor ac-
ceptlng the compromise. Reports from the
Pittsburg district say that the strike senti-
ment there is disappearing and the leaders
reel confident that the miners of western
Pennsylvania and Ohio will be able to over
come any strike vote I'm the other States
II is reasoned also that miners in outlying
states are anxious to have their contracts
signed up, and since this cannot be done
until the question is settled the bulk of the
votes Will go in favor of the compromise
Illinois Is considered the stubborn State
ana Is expected to contribute a majority
or the strike votes cast. Indiana, II is be-
1eved, will favor the compromise. The
fact that the state convention at Terre
Haute Is not committing itself in any way
toward the question is cited to support the
belief

break the peace of quiet summer evenings,
S. II. Shearer, of 2OO2 North Alabama street,

the construction of new lights.
The light in question has not yet been
placed but a petition from j. j. Madden for
a light at that corner is now before the
