"SELF-MADE" MANS DAY
DECLARED UPON THE WANE
PROFESSOR SAYS HE CANNOT
HOLD HIS OWN
Speaker at Brotherhood of st. Andrew
Convention Asserts Roosevelt's
Greatest Service Lies in Attitude
of Young Men Toward Politics
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
| CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-The era of the
"self-made" man is on the wane. Eff.
cheney can no longer be manufactured
or home made. Competition of the
present day is too much for the self.
made man.
| So holds Prof. Nathaniel Butler, prin-
cipal Of the school of education depart
ment of the University of Chicago, who
spoke yesterday at the closing session
OF the twentieth annual convention OF
the Brotherhood of st. Andrew In Man
del hall, at the University of Chicago.
The subject of his address was "Educa-
tion as factor of efficient manhood
Prof. Butler spoke in the place oi
President William r. Harper, who was
too i'll to attend the session.
"The term 'self-made man is mere
fallacy," Prof. Butler declared. 1.-THE
;self-made' mans success Is due only
to unusual ability. Efficient manhood
the manhood that ought to be offered
to the world-no longer can be home
made. In this time of competition the
world Is willing to pay the highest
price for the efficient man just as for
al tic1es of commercial use"
Clifford Pinchot, head of the bureau
of forest reserves, spoke on public
Ideals"
II feel incapable of expressing the
Importance of the creation of public
spirit among young men," he said.
1.-THE one great thing that Theodore
Roosevelt has done for the United
States is not his service in the recent
peace conference, nor the use of the
prestige of his great office on behalf OF
decency. The vital and important
thing lies in the change which he has
brought in the attitude of young men
toward political life.
1.-THE time is not long past when 1t was
not considered respectable to go into
politics. I hope the time is not far
distant when it won't be respectable
not to go into politics. When this time
comes, this country will do things in
the world that were never done before"

OBERLlN M. CARTER
AGAIN UNDER FIRE
EXAMINED AS TO HIS FORMER
EMBEZZLEMENTS
Denies That He Ever Borrowed Money
From Greene or Gaynor, Who Were
Implicated With Him in Defraudine
the Government of Large Gums
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Oberlin M.
Carter, former captain in the United
States army, who was released from
the Leavenworth penitentiary some
time ago after having served a five
year sentence on charge of having
embezzled several hundred thousand
dollars from the United States gov
ernment through construction con-
tracts, returned to Chicago today
and was examined before Special Ex-
aminer Richard Wyman.
The former army officer has COM
pleted his sentence and is now spend
ing his time and money in helping
the government in it's efforts to re-
cover money and property alleged to
have been embezzled by Carter while
government engineer at Savannah Ga.
The matter now in question is in con-
nection with civil suits filed in the
United States circuit court against
Carter and some of his relatives for
the recovery of the property. The
eIlllTe case IdS DeeIl lGlCllSO " NoPC-
citl Examiner Wyman to take report.
Carter has aged considerably, but lie
wthstood a hard cross-examination In
an apparently fearless manner. Dur
ing today's examination an effort was
made to show that, previous to the real
conspiracy, he and Greene and Gay
nor, the constructors alleged to have
been implicated with Carter in de-
frauding the government, had loaned
Carter money and placed him in po-
sition so that when he was made en-
gineer in charge and had the letting OF
contracts they might have a claim on
him.
Carter declares that he never bor-
rowed money from Greene or Gaynor,
but that he had written them concern
ing his investments so that they
could also invest. The examination
will be taken up again tomorrow.

be paid upon demand
Wiley o. Cox, president of the Kan
sas City State bank, made the follow
ing statement to the Associated Press:
THE retirement of the Kansas City
State bank from active business is vol
untary. Our business has not been
growing for some time and we found it
hard to hold our own with the larger
institutions. In fact, it looks as if the
banking business, as well as all other
lines, is concentrating into the large
ones.
Entirely satisfactory arrangements
have been made whereby the Fidelity
Trust company, one of our strongest
banking houses, has taken over the
business of the bank and is paying our
depositors, in the ordinary way, on de-
mand."

SURVIVES MANY WOUNDS
New York Detective Shot Five Times
In Apparently Vital Spots VIII
Recover.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-After the re-
moval of five 3S-caliber bullets from his
body, Joseph Guidivinski, a railroad de-
tective shot August IS in a battle with
freight thief, was pronounced yester-
day to be on the road to recovery.
The detective, according to the Ford
ham hospital surgeons. presents one of
the most remarkable cases of physical
endurance that has ever come under
their care. After his battle with the
thief Guidivinski was believed to be
dead, but it was found he had been shot
over the right eye, while another bullet
had entered the forehead near the left
temple, two lodged in the abdomen and
fifth struck the left thigh, piercing
the bone.
He revived and was Immediately put
upon the operating table. After three
hours work two bullets were removed
from his head. Two weeks later an at
tempt was made to reach the bullets in
his abdomen. One had lodged in the
wall of the stomach but the other was
in the spleen.
This necessitated a long and ex-
tremely difficult operation. Two minor
operations followed, and the last piece
of lead was removed yesterday.

coHANs PLAY TAKES WELL

by AsSOClAteu PfeSS,
COLUMBUS, o.. Sept. 25.-"Forty-
five Minutes From Broadway" a mu-
steal comedy by George M. Cohan, the
author-actor, was given it's initial pro-
duction at the Great Southern theater

Fay Templeton, who is starring in
the piece, has role which gives her
wide opportunities. The play is given
an elaborate scenic production. The

money might better be applied to the
erection of a new building.
This proposition is made by men
who have the best interests of the
city at heart and is not entirely a
selfish offer. We do not want the
proposition railroaded through this
council, but believe that it should be
referred to the committee of the whole
and reported on next Monday"
Mr.. Mesmer had no sooner taken his
seat than Councilman Harmon, vino
represents the Second ward, a district
that would be benefited by the re-
moval, moved that the offer be ac-
cepted and was promptly seconded by
Councilman Healy, representing the
Eighth ward, another district that
would be favorably affected.
Councilman Smith emphatically op-
posed the proposition and gave as his
reasons that the city was growing
away from the plaza and had been
branching out to the south for the last
thirty-six years.
City Growing Southwark
LESS business is being transacted
in that part of the city than was done
thirty-six years ago." said Mr. Smith,
land believe that there soon will be
more cause to move the building to the
neighborhood of Ninth street than to
build it near the plaza.
'T notice that nearly everyone who
is interested in offering the city the
building site owns property north of
First street and would be benefited
by building new city hall in that
locality.
II cannot characterize this as any
thing but a real estate scheme and
know that others are preparing to
make the city similar propositions that
will be more to our advantage than the
one we have just heard"
Mr.. Harmon then wanted the ques-
tion referred to the committee of the
whole to report next Monday and Mr..
Smith wanted it referred to the COM
mittee of the whole to report at some
indefinite date.
Kern was absent and when the vote
was taken four were for reporting
next Monday and four for reporting
indefinitely. President Summerland
exercised the power of his Office and
declared for the indefinite report.

mo, he is not my husband, but he

Jennings in Justice Young's court yes
terday as she gave her evidence in one
of the most peculiar comedy of errors"
in the history of local divorce cases.
Edward C. Jennings, employe Of the
Southern Pacific railroad arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday morning. He was
accompanied by his wife and a number
of other relatives and he was looking
for Attorneys Hester and Ladd.
What do you think you're trying to
do" growled Jennings as he rushed up
to Clerk Jack Wright of department 4
of the superior court and tried to fix the
blame for the trouble on the smiling
Jack.
"Here you have garnished my salary
on an alimony proposition, sued me for
divorce and given me a general black
eye," continued the angered railroad
man from San Francisco.
Wright gathered up all the papers
and diagnosed the case. The following
story was the result:

Mistaken Identity

| Several months ago Mrs. Sarah Jen-
nings sued Edward c. Jennings for
divorce. At that time the case was
taken before Judge Bordwell and a
petition for temporary support and at
torneys fees was allowed by the court.
| Hester & Ladd, the attorneys, after
trying to locate Jennings, finally
learned that a man by that name was
in the employ of the Southern Pacific
railroad. They garnisheed Jennings
wages and sent the order to the pay
offices at San Francisco.
When Jennings attempted to collect
his months pay several days ago he
found that his money had been gar
nished by a woman who called herself
his wife.
but he had wife of his own and moth
ing but proof would clear up the cloud
that was over him.
Then Jennings became angry, and
gathering all the relatives he could find
and arming himself with his marriage
license, he came to Los Angeles with
"blood in his eye" and trouble for the
| firm of Hester & Ladd.
] Wright sent Jennings to Ladd yester-
day, but the attorney was busy at the
township court, and when Jennings
found him Ladd refused to accept the
explanation until the plaintiff in the
divorce case said whether Jennings was
her husband or not.
Mrs. Jennings Of Los Angeles was
sent for and denied that this Jennings
was her husband. The admission satis-
fed the San Francisco Jennings family
but failed to satisfy the injured hus-
band, who left after threatening tc
bring suit for damages.
