KNOCKS CHICAGO
BUT DEFENDS SON
R, w. Patterson Says Municipal
Ownership is a Farce
GRAF 7 RAMPANTIN CHICAGO
Editor of Chicago Tribune Says His
Son Resigned Because Of the
System That Exists In
the City.

New York, March 3.-R. ". Patterson,
editor of the Chicago Tribune, does not
share in the socialistic views expressed
yesterday by his son, Joseph Medill Pat
terson. the former commissioners Of pub
lie works of Chicago The elder Mr..
Patterson and his son were at the Hol-
land House in this city today and both
expressed decided opinions on the sub
ject The younger man reiterated the
statements voiced yesterday after his
resignation as commissioner of public
works of Chicago had become known.
His father declared 1t to be his belief that
eisms of the age"
He added that the real reason his son
gave up his municipal office was because
he had been asked to do things for which
he could have been indicted, and for
which he should have been indicted, had
he done them.
While he did not at all agree with
his sons theories, Mr.. Patterson said he
conceded to every man the right to think
for himself and added that a mere diff
ference of opinion had not been per-
nitted to make any difference in the
relation between his son and himself.
IF sons did not have any different
ideas from their fathers, we would be
back in the days of Abraham me said.
Municipal Ownership a Farce.
Mr.. Patterson said that municipal own
ership in Chicago or anywhere else is
farce and said If his son should ever
run for Mayor of Chicago on a socialist
platform he would not get the support
of the Tribune.
"They can't even run the dog pound
without graft in Chicago" he said. "They
catch the good dogs, but never the ours,
as they know some one or two will come
after the goods dogs
my son came in contact with practi-
cal politicians at home and was thor
oughly disgusted He was asked to do
things that would have indicted him
He was asked to remit the water taxes
of certain men simply on the ground
that they were influential politicians. He
could not do this, so he got out. Graft
pure and simple, that's what Joe found
practical politics meant, even under the
Dunno municipal ownership administra-
ton I say this without reflection on
Mayor Dunno personally I am talking of
the system. If partial socialism is such
a failure, then the complete socialism
that my son thinks would be a universal
panacea, would be colossal catastro-

PIANO RECITAL.
Johannes Maeendanz Is Well Received
Gives Delightful Performance.

Johannes Magendanz of Berlin. gave a
complimentary piano recital at Gable hall
last night in the presence of a somewhat
small but appreciative audience. The pro-
gramme included Bach's rraludium and
Fugue in d. Beethoven's Sonta Appasso-
nata, a Chopin group. Schubert's I'M
promptu Opus 142, No. ., Henselts Ro-
nance with chorus burden, a minuette,
three pieces by Robert Eilenberg, a List
polonais and the Fourteenth Rhapsodie.
Magendanz is a young artist of great
brillance and skill. He plays with ad-
mirable spirit and poetic feeling and his
soft notes are singularly liquid. His ped
daling Is exceptionally fine and altogether
his recital last night was highly en-
joyed.
Adolf Damn Petersen, the voice teacher,
said last night after the performance that
he was trying to induce Magendanz to set
lie in Birmingham next season and be-
come associated with him in his studio
work.

BABY TAKEN THROUGH
AIR WITHOUT HARM
Little One Was Found Peacefully
Sleeping In Rain at 8 O'CLOCK
Saturday Morning.

Among Its other freaks the wind of last
night carried little baby of Jim Stew
art away from his home, swept 1t through
the air many feet above the ground and
finally let it fall gently to mother earth,
uninjured.
The babe lay In the rain that accom-
panied the wind for some minutes and
afterwards for hours it lay unprotected
from the night air. moaned as lost
This morning about 8 o'clock the search
for the missing child proved successtui,
and 1t was found, peacefully sleeping. 10
all appearances the child had not sur
fered any from its wild midnight flight,
and 1t was returned to its mother, who
was lying at the home of a neighbor with
a broken leg.

SMALLER RESIDENCES
REGIN TO SUFFER,

At this point the smaller residences be-
gan to suffer and from here to the George
town cotton mills the path of the storm
was strewn with the wreckage of the
homes of working men. All through this
territory the damage wrought by the
storm represented total losses, but not
until the owners and agents have sur
flcient time to enumerate the dwellings
destroyed will the exact amount of the
loss be known. The plant of the George
town cotton mills suffered severely. 1t
was the apparent turning point In the
course of the cyclone. No estimate has
been placed on the loss to the company
because of the fact that a full investi-
CATION of the condition of the machinery
and material on hand has not been made.

OWES LIFE TO FACT
THAT HE IS CRIPPLE
Charles Harris Could Not Leave Build
ing, and BY Remaining He
Escaped Injury.

Charles Harris. one of the operators in
the Queen and Crescent office, owes his
escape from injury when the wind struck
that building last night to the fact that
he was already cripple.
Many of the others in the building when
they heard the wind roaring outside, at
tempted to escape and several of them
were injured more or less bseverely in
doing so.
Mr. Harris was unable to escape with
the rest and therefore squatted on the
floor, hoping that the storm in its mercy
might pass over his head, and 1t did He
escaped with only a few slight scratches
which are not worth mentioning.

As the minute hand of the clock pointed

Twenty-eieht Horses Buried Alive.

Twenty-eight fine horses were buried
alive in M. Thorntons livery stable, which
was demolished by the walls from the
Meyer-Neville Hardware company. The
groans of the injured horses could be
heard for some time after the cyclone,
but finally all sounds ceased. There
was some $4,000 invested In the horses
which were buried. The horses were
found mashed, their limbs broken, their
backs crushed, their skulls fractured
all of them more or less mangled. Many
of the animals must have suffered tor
lures before death relieved them.

across the street from the hotel, looking
for a hallway into which I could step
to avoid the flying fragments, when the
roof of the Grand Avenue hotel was car

its walls went down. The proprietor of
the hotel and his wife were in the little
office of the hotel, and big timber was
driven through it, but neither was hurt
by the unexpected stick.
