drainage rather than trudge along close
to the edge of the precipice with SyS

culture.
One of The novel rules introduced at
the plants is that of the clean uniform.
Every tailor shop in the city of Chicago.

work and thousands OF suits for the
men and slips for the women. in three
colorS. have been supplied to the pack
ing houses. The cOlors are red, white
and blue. and each workman has to
change his suit daily. The man in red
clothing officiates in the killing rooms,
the man in blue wiel1S the AK and saw
in the cutting departments and the
man in his immaculate white linen suit

uniform IS not so liable TO Smears. All
the laundry work is done on the prem

erected for this purpose
Other arrangements on n par with
the improvements carried out on the
suggestions of the government officials

Never in the annals of Chicago has
such rush to carry out the letter of
the law been recorded. says the Chi

high pressure since the packers Under

result is said to exceed the most san

Day and night shifts have worked in
ct.ssantly at the plumbing. refitting and
rebuilding OF the numerous depart
ments at the larger plants. and the de-
mand for men 1T the yards has been
so great that downtown buildings have
actually suffered for want of labor
The principal change has taken
place i'll the sanitary arrangements OF
the various plants. Modern lavatories
have been erected at enormous cost,
while other conveniences for women
and men employed in the industry
have been installed wherever neces-
sary. The Mushrooms at some of the
plants would do credit TO any large
hotel in the country: Experts, in fact,
are inclined TO think that the new ar
engagements as worked out at the
yards are superior TO anything yet at

light slate. making that portion OF
the building cool and healthy, while it
is easy to keep clean. All the plants

Now that the American women have
become devotees of the 5 O'Clock tea
there is much interest in the appoint

latest and most convenient schemes,
says Suburban Life, Is the tea wagon.

SWEDEN NEEDS PUSH
Returned Tourist Says that American
Energy Is Sadly Lacking. ).

With American energy and plenty OF
laborers Sweden would rival any country
in the world in production, says Rev.
John Teleen, who has just returned from
a trip to Sweden, Norway and the Brit
ish Isles. -
Sweden is in great need of labor and
on every hand the visitor hears that if
the new world spirit could be trans
planted Sweden would take a great step
forward. Consul Ekman, the Carnegie of
Sweden, now 81 years old, told Mr.,
Teleen that if half "a million of the
Swedish Americans could spend few
years there and then be followed by
half a million more there would be a
commercial revival that would startle the
world. -..~ 80 t7 ''. +.t='.,
Mr.. Teleen had been absent from
Sweden for more than fifty years and
he noticed many changes, especially in
religious matters. Religion has lost much
of it's hold on the lower and middle
classes, but has gained strength in the
upper. classes and among the soldiery.
The secession of Norway is rarely
talked about in Sweden. The break
brought much sadness, but there is lit
tie hard feeling and the breach will soon

,, Edward Gambler and John Smith,

beating Edward Smith, % First street

' The two men were arrested yester-
day by Detectives Morrissey and Staylo

Smith has identified the two men. He
says he was drinking in saloon on
First street Friday night when he met
Gambler and Smith. They saw his
money and when he left the place they
followed him into an alley and when
he turned on them one of them struck
him with a heavy club;s knocking him
senseless. When he came to, his money
was gone.
saloonkeeper Is Wise.
AS the robbers followed Smith out,
the saloonkeeper called to them say
ing, "Look out, you fellows! If that
man is robbed 1 II know; who did it. -
Gambler turned and swore at the sa
loonkeeper. Immediately after the rob-
berry Smith went back to the saloon
and notified the police. Early yester;;
day Gambler was arrested and locked
up at Central station, charged with
highway robbery. Later in the day
John Smith was arrested, and when the
men were brought together they lost
their nerve and admitted that they
robbed the man. 3.
They had SAT in their possession and
said it belonged to Edward Smith:
Gambler, however, says his Npal'
struck the blow while the "pal' says
Gambler did it.
Good Work Will Go On.
Police Superintendent Doyle is we'll
pleased with the results obtained so far,
and says clues have been found which
may lead to other arrests. He is con-
WINGED that this is not the only rob-
berry the two have committed.

Unless the body of the aged man TAX
en- from the river late Friday, is
claimed early today it will be buried at
the county poor farm
Attic the police worked all day yes
terday trying to find someone who
could positively identify the man not
the least clue was found. Usually
when a body is found in the river
crowds flock to the morgue out of mere
curiosity, but yesterday only two or
three persons called.
:. The theory that it is the body of
Ian Sekuloff, leader Of the. Macedonians,
is given much credence by the police,
who saw the man a few. days after the
murder Of his six countrymen at 243
Tenth avenue S. He came to Mime
apolis from Duluth, made a hasty trip
to the morgue where he identified all
the murder victims, and then disap-
peared. He said he was going to Du-
luth that afternoon and the police saw
nothing of him after noon that day. He
had lived in the house where the muir
der occurred, but said he had left the
Monday before the bodies were found.
He would say nothing about the past
lives of the men, but said he thought
they were killed by robbers from their
own country. .f.
10cSS1uO1dIC6 Is FSI1SCG.
Peter Morton, morgue keeper, says
that if Sekuloff and the man drowned
in the river are not the same their own
mothers could not tell them apart. He
saw Sekulof when he identified his
countrymen and was impressed with the
resemblance at once.
Altho no autopsy was held on the
body some facts indicate that the man
may have been dead before reaching
the water. The body was floating when
found, altho it was in excellent state
of preservation and had evidently been
in the water only day. This would
indicate that there was no water in
the lungs and that the man did not
drown. If he had leaped or was thrown
from the Tenth avenue, bridge heart
failure could have caused death be-
fore reaching the water. It is consid-
cred certain that the body did not go
over the falls for in that case it
would have been badly, bruised on the
rocks. ..5x ..T rs
Two blocks from where the body was
found is the little shack where the six
Macedonians met their death.
