SPIES WATCH FOR OPEN
SALOONS IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Dec. 11.-New tactics were
employed by the Chicago Law and Or
der league In its warfare on Sunday sa.
looms yesterday. Instead Of devoting
their energies to collecting evidence
merely. agents Of the organization
sought for violations Of the law and
then notified the policeman on the beat
that the state law was being violated.
and It was his duty to arrest the Of
tenders. Refusals by the patrolmen
were followed by warnings that the
league would institute proceedings
against him for neglect of duty. So
far as can be ascertained only one DO
liceman was called upon in this man
ner. He vas taken to a saloon at State
and Van Buren, streets at 3 a. M. and
his attention was called to the fact
that a bartender was serving intoxi-
eating drinks to twenty-five custom
ers in violation not only OF the state
law regarding Sunday closing, but also
Of a city ordinance requiring all sa-
looms to close at / o'clock. According
to E. J. Davis. vice president of the
league, the policeman refused to arrest
the bartender without a warrant. The
early morning expedition of the leagues
agents visited a number of saloons in
the west and central portions of the
city, but reported no violations of law,
except at one place. The saloons WIS.,
tied included those Of Alderman John
]. Brennan and Michael Kenna, other
wise known as "Hinky Dink." the poll
tlcian.

WITH ELECTRICITY

San Francisco, Dec. 10-Extermination
@: the savage, murderous head-hunters
by e~lectrocution Is the latest novelty in
troduced by the Japanese into For
mosa.
Walter Clifton. manager of the For
mosa Mercantile company, who arrived
here yesterday, is authority for the
statement that to wipe out this tribe.
which is retarding the commercial de-
velopment of Formosa, heroic measures
are being adopted by the Japanese.
These head-hunters," said Clifton,
number about 100, 900, n infest the
entire east coast of the island. All eff
forts to civllize them have failed. They
recently inveigled a party of 300 Chi
nese and Japanese into an ambush on a
pretense of showing them some treas
ure and killed all but three.
I'm punishment for this treachery the
Japanese sent out large bodies of troops
and when the COMPANY of head-hunters
Is located the place will be surrounded
b. a wire fence.
THE wires are charged with cleo
tricIty. The soldiers will begin to shoot
and the savages stampede and then the
deadly wires will get those bullets

I'm those days there was a boodling

so bad now. There will always be crooks

The effect of the Sunday closing
was everywhere apparent. Broadway
was deserted except for those who found
nothing better to do than to walk the
streets. The hush throughout the great

toned to the weekday noises and Sun
day harmonies. Upon the doors of the
opera houses, theaters, music halls,
dancing academies, skating Kinks and
penny arcades placards had been
posted. These bluntly announced that
the places had been closed for the day
in accordance with Justice O'Gorman's
decision. AT the theaters even the box
offices were closed and the advance
sales for the week interrupted.
At h various branches OF the
Young Mems Christian association the
usual Sunday programs were radically
changed. The stereopticon exhibitions

CANNON PREDICTS SUCCESS
IN WORK FOR WATERWAYS

Washington, Dec. 10.-Speaker Cam
non received a committee OF the vice
presidents OF the rivers and harbors
congress, who presented resolutions In
behalf Of thirty-six states urging the
American congress to adopt at It's pres
ent session a plan for the Improvement
In h next ten years Of all the truly
meritorious and deserving waterways
in the union, which has been approved
by the engineer department Of the army
or may be approved" In reply Cannon
said:
Il have no doubt that in the years to
come congress will make progress
along the lines already laid down and
so successfully carried out In the de.
conntry's harbors and rivers. There In
now In the United States treasury
available in large part or in whole for
these purposes a surplus Of $240, 0OO, 900
and we have also the incoming rev,
nue that will take care substantially.
If not in entirety, Of the great public
service which grows by leaps and
bounds. That surplus Is more than
possibly could be expended during the
lifetime or the present congress In car
rying out these works. Our wonderful
growth in population, in wealth, In de-
veolpment OF resources, producing as
we do one-thlrd of the worlds products
Of the mines, the fields and the fac
tories, compels US to make all neces-
sary improvements of our waterways
and our harbors, to the end that we
may produce economically and care for
our expanding commerce.
These improvements and develop
ments I say are so necessary that the
members Of succeeding congresses will
be compelled to recognize them for the
sake Of the public service"

! badness of such work-badness in con-

to an overwhelming desire to cheaper
| down the cost so much as to ignor-

AT first sight it might appear that

ployment of a trained architect than
for the training of the builder; yet
surely it is better for the builder to be
himself trained and~fully skilled in his
calling than that he should continue
ignorantly to produce bad work.
When dealing with the better class

all architects will recognize the great
difference which exists between the
skilled and the unskilled, the technic-
ally trained and the unframed and
know that those who can render them
real assistance, as it is in their power
to do, in the carrying out of important
work are comparatively few. With
such it is a pleasure to deal. They be-
come coadjutorS rather than employees,
friends and not enemies, having at
heart in common with the architect
the satisfactory accomplishment of
honest work and being able, willing
and capable of achieving it.
Everyone, however. is unfortunately
better acquainted with the converse of
this picture. When. as too often hap
pens, the builder-the practical man."
as he would call himself-only half
knows his business suspicion upon the
architects part replaces confidence,
and this to the detriment of the work,
even when there is honesty of purpose
on both sides.-The Architecture
