SURE OF VICTORY.
Chicago Law and Order League Ex-
poets to Down Sunday Saloons.

Chicago, Nov 1--we eventually
will win," was the quiet but serious
remark of Attorney Robert McMurdy,
counsel for the Chicago Law and Or
der league, after a conference with
States Attorney Healy, during which
the county official promised a measure
of aid in closing the Sunday saloon.
The league is reported as being
well financed. additional funds are
promised on Temperance Sunday
November "a, on which day every
minister and priest of Chicago has
been requested to preach a special SER
mon and appeal for a special collec-
ton to be used in carrying on this
work
Quick action is to be taken through
the municipal courts. Those found
guilty of individual offenseS can be
fined 5000 for each offense, and the
plan is to make the business of the
saloon keeper SO Improbable that the
general run will benefit by the exper-
fence of the few and close their places
of business on Sundays.
The prosecutions will be under a
provision of the criminal code which
makes it unlawful to keep open a tip
ping house on Sunday. The penalty
is a fine only.

PLACE FOR MARSHALL.
He Will Become State Bank Examiner
on Dec. 1.

e. E Marshall. superintendent of
the state reformatorv at Hutchinson,
will resign his position before the end
of the month and will accept on Dec.
I the position of bank examiner in the
state banking department, succeeding
III L. Finley, who resigned a short
time ago.
At the office of Governor Hoch it
Marshall has not yet resigned his
place, but it was expected he would
do SO shortly. Mr.. Marshall will be
succeeded as superintendent of the
Hutchinson reformatory by w. A.
Cady who is at present assistant SUI
perintendent of that institution. This
appointment is said to be of tenn
pOrary nature.
The resignation of Mr.. Marshall
has been expected for some time. He
was recently put through an investi-
cation, to determine the truth of the
charges filed against him. These
Sharges were first started by ex-Chap-
lain Gates of that institution. who was
discharged by Mr.. Marshall. Mr..
Gates and his friends claimed that
Mr.. Marshall was unnecessarily severe
in the treatment of the inmates of the
reformatory. Testimony was intro
duced at the hearing which showed
that one of the inmates had died as
the result of being confined in the
SOLITARY" on bread and water for 23
days. and that the hospital records of
the school had been changed to show
that the hoy had received proper
medical attention. Mr.. Marshall dis
avowed this action. and the blame
was partially shifted to the doctor in
charge.
There has never been any claim
made that Mr.. Marshall was not a
good executive officer His business
management of the institution has
been above criticism. and 1t is expect
ed that he will be we'll fitted for mis-
new position as bank examiner

POWERS APPEAL.
He Says the Last Jury to Try Him Was
Packed

Georgetown. KY. Nov. 14.-When
the Powers trial was resumed today
the defense sprang a surprise by ten
dering in court an open letter address
ed by Powers to Sheriff Warning of
Scott county, whose duty it is to sum-
mon a jury from Harrison county. tn e
letter is as follows:
The last jury in my case was packed
against me and fixed for a conviction,
not so much by the sheriff and his dep
uties of this county as by the sheriff
and his deputies of Bourbon county
from VIII hicmy jury was drawn. In
that trial the sheriff and his deputies
of Bourbon county accompanied the
sheriff and his deputies of this county
and indicated whom to summon and
whom not to summon for jury service.
I therefore earnestly request you and
through you, your deputies to go unac-
companied by anybody on your tour of
selecting jurymen in my case. I prayer
fully beseech you to summon as you
come to them in some of the most en-
hghtened sections Of the county not

when the situation developed here
it became necessary to concentrate the

affirming the decision of the board of

New York, Nov. 14.-Fffty dollars and

healthy and will part with a quantity of
blood for the benefit of Mrs. Anne Tru-
lock of Montclair, N. J. An advertise
ment to this effect has been published
by her husband, Carl E. Trulock, who Is
manager for a manufacturing concern
in Lower Broadway.
Mrs. Trulock has had anemia all her
life, but of late years her condition has
become so. much worse that not long
since the doctors were obliged to am
putate her arm. Even this desperate
expedient has not helped her. and she Is
now confined to her bed in a critical
condition. The physicians hold that
nothing can save her except an infus-
ion of healthy blood. Mr.. Trulock Of
freed himself for the purpose, but the
doctors found that the strain incident
to his wife's condition had so weakened
him that his blood was not of the re-
quired quality.

control the modern church, and the
church's influence is for capital
against labor" said Dean Shailer
Mathews Of the University of Chica-
go divinity school in an address at
Chatauqua assembly to day.
Deterioration in the ministry, the
dean ALTO asserted, follows upon the
subsidizing of theological students
in the schools, and the sooner this
and other forms of scantifed graft"
are eliminated the better it will be for
the church.
"The church is composed of the
capitalistic class or sympathizsrs with
the capitalistic class" said Dean Mat
hews. 1T can influence largely,
therefore, the source of legislation.

Denatured Alcohol.

The internal revenue bureau has
adopted regulations for the govern
ment Of the distillation and distri-
button Of denatured alcohol which
render possible the farm distillery,
or a cooperative concern like the
farmers creamery. Distilleries in
which fifty or less proof gallons are
produced within twenty four hours
may be operated under such easy
conditions as to make it practicable
for the people of any community to
manufacture their fuel and light.
In such concern no plant is need
ed; one room may contain the cis-
tern, dlstillery and denaturing
warehouse. Unless the collector of
revenue certihes that the presence
OF gauger is needed none will be
detailed to these distilleries. The
proprietors Of these small distiller-
les are not required to keep the de-
natured factors in separate rooms
or to procure the denaturants from
central warehouse or distllleries
where regular denaturlng ware
houses are established. Nor are
manufacturers using this alcohol
required to provide separate store
rooms and keep records of amount
used and for what used. These lib
eralized requirements will event
ually let men engage in small
way in the production of alcohol
and permit the people of the north
west to snap their fingers at the
coal and oil barons.
