Mckenzie gave up the money without

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
CHICAGO ILL.,, Feb. 17.-Everlasting
solution of the servant problem is
said to be one of the most attractive
offerings of the proposed magnificent
new apartment building at 20 Lake
Shore drive. The solution, it is said,
is that the modern equipment will be
such that the women can, and it is
run1ored that several Of them will, do
their own housework.
The lower floor of the apartment is
to be a reception room, and one of the
first objects to be seen by the visitor
will be large old-fashioned clock, and
the firep aces extending almost to the
ceilings. The furnishings are to be Of
rich tapestries and massive, costly
pieces of mahogany.
No names on the mail boxes and no
numbers of telephones in the directory
are to be allowed. The elevators are
to be behind secret doors,9where one
would not expect to find them.

improvements by Wards

Following is the ward report for the
past week:
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1906-02-18

out of $4,000 births are recorded each
year. but even at that rate eight years
would give the drive but two births.
shame" says Mr.. OBrien'
Shame! echoes Mrs. sullivan
"Shame!' says the Nineteenth ward.
Physans Fail to Report
Away from the Lake Shore drive not
all the births are recorded in the Of
fetal books. The fault generally lies
with the doctors According to Mr..
O'Brien, physicians fail to report
births. Although this works no seri-
Gus inconvenience in Chicago, if the
education is finished they are liable to
experience difficulty in sending the
child to school. All foreign countries
require q birth certificate before adj
hitting a child to schools. In many
cases Mr.. O'Brien has received letters
from parents in Germany asking for
birth certnficates and in several cases
has found no record of such birth.
Birth Every Twelve Minutes
At the bureau of vital statistics it
is estimated that only 60 per cent Of
the births in Chicago are recorded. The
other 40 per cent are neglected. The
number of recorded births for last year
was 26,092. The year before 27,S03
babies were born, and in 1903 the num-
Der recorded was more than $4,000.
Taking the estimates that these are
only 60 per cent of the total number
born, the real increase to Chicago's
population is much larger than this. If
$4,000 births We're recorded in 1905, 40
Fer cent more would swell the list to
more than $4,000 This means that five
babies are born every hour in Chicago,
or one every twelve minutes.
The district of the city where the
largest number of births are recorded
lies mostly within the Nineteenth
ward. A few sections south of Twelfth
street send in numerous reports, but
the streets holding the record for births
are bunker, Maxwell and Clinton.
These are in the heart of the Ghetto
district.

Rosy is the daughter of Joseph
Goldbery, shoemaker, who came
from Russia three months ago. The
girl has been the only nurse to two
younger children. Yorke, the baby
was taken with measles and whoop-
ing cough, and neighbors at length
prevailed upon the family to have
it taken to the hospital. With the
few English words at her command
Rosa inquired the way to the coun-
ty institution. 1t required consid-
erable explanation to pursuade the
girl that the baby was past medical
aid and could not be received.
Then she quietly lifted ub the
body and started for the door, in
tending to return with 1t to her
father's house. The; hospital au-
thorities with. difficulty convinced
her this would not do, and that the
body must be taken to the county
morgue. Weeping, she carried the
child to the morgue, on the south
part of the group of buildings.

Hillsboro, Or. May 16:-The re-
volver taken from the Farmers and
Merchants Bank of Forest Grove.
when that institution was robbed
in December la -, was found buried
beside the railroad track near this
place yesterday by A. p. Luther,
farmer, who was blowing on the
right of way. M ..ss ..... ...-
Buried with the revolver belong
ing to the bank were found dyra-
mite caps, skeleton keys, number
of candles and Sc shells. The lat
ter were of the same size and de-
scription as those used in the gun
taken from the home of Carey Sny-
der at the time of the bank robbery.
Mr.. Luther had been working
yesterday on the strip of land bord-
ering the lins of the railroad, and
toward evening his plow struck in
to the cached explosives and other
articles. He reported his discovery
to Sheriff Connell, who, upon in.
vestigation, found that the revolver
was the property of the Forest
Grove banking house and had been
missing since the time of the rob-
berry.
The theory was advanced at the
time of the crime and pursuit that
the robbers bad taken a northerly
course, aud had gone into the state
of Washington. Finding of the
buried implements and explosives
indicates that the bandits took a
route along the railroad in the di.
rection of Hillsboro, which shows
that their course was almost direct
ly east. This would indicate that
they. either came to Portland
or, reaching the main line of the
Southern Pacific. went South, hop
ling to reach California. ..
The story of the alleged kidnap-
ping of Carey Snyder in Portland
on December 1, 1905, the night of
the bank robbery at Forest Grove,
is recalled by discovery of the hid
den weapon and ammunition.
He was said to have been spirited
away by two companions, who
drove out of the city. The Forest.
Grove bank was entered that night
by robbers, who pried open the
front door and broke into the vaults
with dynamite, making their escape
with more than So, 900.

DELUDEO WOMEN OF THE

Discovered by George Hodges, a
Timber Cruiser-Women Sub.

of Their Delusion-
Other News.

Portland, May 16.-The Oregoni-
an says that five women and tiny
little baby, emaciated, worn out
and haggard, and with hardly
enough clothing to cover themselves
were discovered last Saturday on
the beach In the vicinity of Heceta
Head by George Hodges, a timber
cruiser, of Salado, this state, who
was forcing his was through the
rough country to inspect some tim
bar. The women had subsisted On
crabs and mussels for days and
were in a pitiful plight. Mr.. Hodg-
,es supplied them with some sea bis =.
cults and condensed milk and had
to make bis way to the nearest set
tlement without bit Of food.
/. The women told Hodges that they
had been sent out in the wilderness
by Second Messiah" Creffield, and
while they had heard that he had
been killed in S;attle, they said
they knew that such was not the
case, for know one but the Lord
could have the power to take his
life.
"Mr. Hodges arrived in Portland
yesterday, aad be believes some
thing should be done to rescue the
fanatic women whose minds have
been turned by the hypnotic inau-
ence of the man who few days ago
was shot down like a dog by young
Mitchell, whose sisters Crefield
had succeeded in bringing into
disgrace.
"These women will starve to.
death or expire from exposure
said Mr.. Hodges. 81 found them
in a most inaccessible spot on the
beach, and they had nothing to ea'
but few mussels gathered on the
beach. They had two tents, and
bad prepared az best they could to

they said, had gone to Queen Char.

colony on one of the many islands
there. "Creffeld Is the Second Mes.
siah," they told me, and they would
rather starve to death than disobey
his instructions. He had told them
to remain where they were until
his return, and they refused every
offer that I made to see them back
to civilization. Four of the womer
hail from Corvallis, for I have seer
them there, but I cannot recall
their names, although [ think

cinity when the women came ane
asked me to help raise their tents
which had been torn down by the
the strong winds that sweepin from
the ocean. They told me they hao
lived in the isolated spot for three
weeks.
"Crefield certainly knaw where
he was going when he took those
women into the wilderness, for {
more 81 cluded place could not b
selected. 1t is four miles by th'
toughest trail imaginable from The
nearest settlement. and about ID
miles from Waldport, the neares
town. The people Of Waldport re
fused to assist the unfortunate wo
men, and I can see no other fate fo
them than starvation unless they
are rescued before many days"
Mr.. Hodges expects to return tt
Waldportin a couple of days.
