THE CnUTEs
Chicago's Most Popular Public Parh


In the wonderful life Of Chicago moth
ing is of more interest than The Chutes.
This brilliantly lighted, fag-enshrouded
park at Jackson Boulevard and Kedzie
Avenue is an ideal resort for gay throngs.
Within its enclosure the "Velvet Coaster"
gives thrilling mid-air rides. High over
head marvellous flying machine offers
hazardous adventure to the multitude.
shooting the Chutes'' is a Chicago
habit. Passengers go skyward on a gigan-
tic steel structure. At dizzy height
gondolas start down a steep declivity over
which rush cascades like the famous
falls of Lodore.
The gay craft descend with the speed
of the winds to the bosom Of an artificial
lake where they dash swiftly forward on
foam-crested waves to placid harbor.
While Weldon's big military band fills
the park with music, rubber wheel cars
laden with shouting, laughing merry
makers descend on undulating tracks like
noiseless phantoms from e distant planet.

Nan Patterson.

yesterday that she will be released on

Among the letters received yesterday
by Miss Patterson we're dozen offers to
bail her out, several from women. Dur
ing the day her counsel received score
of other Offers to go on her bail bond on

New York, May 6.-The stains quo
in the Nan Patterson case, as well as
that of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Morgan Smith,
which is so closely allied with the case
of the actress, has not been disturbed by
any developments today. The attorneys
for all the parties are waiting until Mon
day before taking any further steps look
ing toward the liberation of the priso-

be any developments before that time.

Another OF AIfanso,s Freaks.

Madrid, May S-(Delayed in trans
mission. 1.-The royal palace was thrown
into great commotiou yesterday afternoon,
due to another of King AlfonsO's esca-
pades. While the palace was enjoying
its usual afternoon quiet an awful din
was suddenly heard which disturbed
everybody in the palace. The Queen
mother sent courtiers out hurriedly to
discover the cause of the noise. They
found the royal halberdier band engaged
in playing most-dnusual air. Each
player was rendering different piece and
playing with all his might. When the
Queen mothers messengers inquired the
cause of the unusaI proceeding they we're
informed that Alfonso had ordered the
performance and the members OF the
band we're doing their best to carry out
his directions.

CoLORED MEN as policemen have
proved neither popular nor successful In
New York. The last of those appointed
under a previous reform administration
was dismissed yesterday by Police Com
missioner McAdoo for slight breach OF
rules. For a time the cOlored policemen
were used as detectives in obtaining evil
dence against policy and other games.
Their color served TO make them con-
spicuous among other policemen and
they became so well known that their
usefulness in that capacity ended. In
addition they were Stunned by white
members of the police force aud the per-
Torrance of their duty was frequently re-
scented by white citizens. The northern
and western portions OF the United
States halfa century ago went wild upon
the negro issue. They later attempted
to loist upon the southern people condi-
tons which experience has compelled
northern people to abandon.

THE London Saturday Review of to-
day contains a leading article devoted to
the Chicago teamsters' strike, in which
it suggests that the newspapers change
their comments on the subject of the
brutalities OF the autocracy in Russia
10 the brutaities of democracy in
Chicago. The article says;
Chicago is at present little more #
a hell on earth than it is ordinarily.
The authorities seem as yet inclined to
let things take their own course, but
when they begin their duty Ofpreserving
order We will be surprised if they do
not shoot down people quite as determin
eddy as il being done in Warsaw.
The above is a just criticism upon
present conditions in one of the largest
cities in the United States. We see the
mote in the Muscovian eye, but consid-
crest not the beam which is in our
own.
