Inmates of Illinois Steel
Company Hospital Want
Morgue Removed.
IS TOO SUGGESTIVE.
Sight of Undertaken Waiting With
Your Coffin" Not Calculated to
Cheer Fatally Injured.
Especial to Lake County TImes).

South Chicago, June 20.-On the plea
hat 'tis a cheerless thing to sit propped
up in bed in a hospital and through the
window watch an undertaken in a
morgue waiting with your coffin" en-
ployes of the Illinois Steel company at
South Chicago are getting up a petl-
tion to have the undertaking establish
ment of 4. Carlson, 8801 Mackinaw
avenue, moved away to make room for
a less funeral landscape before the
eyes OF perhaps fatally injured men.
Carlson's morgue is situated directly
across the street from the steel COM
pany's hospital. It's location is sup
posed TO be the elimination of the re-
lay race of South Chicago undertakers
for positions handy to the hospital of
the plant. where the nearest undertaken
may thrive by conducting the funerals
of the many men killed in the steel
mills in the course of a year,
But while it may be a good thing.
from business standpoint, the men
who serve the roaring furnaces do not
relish a view of the grewsome place
when injury forces them within the
hospital wards.
Handy for the Company.
the morgue has received an impetus
from the latest instance of secretive-
ness respecting injuries and deaths by
the ultra secretive steel company With
the undertaking establishment so
handy the company is said to have
conceived the idea that bodies of men
who die may be carried from the hos
pital to the morgue and dumped there
u af ell ha
South Chicago police to transfer the
body.
Although the books of the South Chi
rago police showed no record Of the
case. last night it was learned that
Charles Nelson. SOS Buffalo avenue,
died in the companys hospital on Tues
day. following injuries received in the
mills Heretofore the company. while
following a practice of not notifying
the police when men are injured, has
condescended to ask them to remove
dead bodies from the company's prem
ises to the nearest undertaking estab-
lishment, as provided for by police
regulations
Police Not Called In.
In the ease of Nelson his body was
carried to Carlson's morgue at o'clock
yesterday morning without the aid OF
the police. Carlson notified the cor
oner. and an inquest is scheduled to
take place this morning.
Feeling runs high among the work
men over what they feel is a cold
blooded method of waiting for them to
be killed and then disposing of what
is left of them in the most uncere-
monious manner possible.

Hammond Highs Professor
of Science Sacrifices
Life to Work.
LOSS DEEPLY MOURNED
succumbs to Severe Run of Typhoid
Fever-Some Facts About His
Useful Life.

Jason Elston, professor of science
In the Hammond high school. died this
morning at o'clock at St Margaret's s
hospital Though his death was caus-
ed directly by typhoid fever, he is
known to have sacrificed his life to
unwavering ambition. He had but re-
Gently assumed the duties of instruct
or in the high school, being the sue
cessor of Professor Irving, who was
compelled to resign his position be-
cause of the same disease which caus-
ed the death of the one chosen to com
plete the work.
Only two weeks ago was the condi-
tion of this respected educator consid-
cred serious. He was forced to dis
continue his school work and was then
taken to the hospital where he has
wavered between life and death each
day of the last week of his short but
useful existence.
Anxiety Universal.
Every student in the high school,
every member of the faculty, every
citizen of the city who had the pleas
ure of his acquaintance, watched with
hopeful eagerness his condition after
it had become known that his life was
in danger.
The most careful nursing and medi-
cal attention. however, failed TO bring
about a favorable reaction and it was
thought best by those in charge to
send for his relatives, who arrived al
his bedside last Saturday An encour-
aging Improvement was noted in his
condition Sunday and it was deemed
safe to allow the return of his sister
as they considered his chance good
for recovery. To the sorrow of all, an
unexpected change occurred for the
worse soon after, and it was only a
matter of time until death would
claim him as a victim.
| Was Cause of -aucation's Loss.
| The field Of education lost thereby
one of its most promising followers
and ardent students. In the short
time that Mr.. Elston has had to dis
play his ability as an instructor he has
gained the praise of his superiors. the
respect of his fellow teachers and the
members of the student body. He was
a man Of ceaseless energy and deter
mination. devoted to his calling. ant

FURNITURE
TRUST HIT.
Government is Conducting an
Investigation Into Methods
EmplOyed-lS Now On

The school furniture trust is COM
ing in for its share of investigations.
The following editorial in a trades
journal gives some idea about it:
Sometime ago it was given out that
the government purposed bringing
action against "the furniture trust"
and, 1t was wondered what particular
combine in this trade was to be haul |
ed over the Goals. Speculation was
set at rest early last month when the |
federal grand jury at Chicago began |
investigating the American Seating
Company, formerly the American
School Furniture Company.
1t is getting dose similar to that
administered to the beef trust. Ap-
parently the medicine is very unpal-
. atable According to the newspaper
Sstories, when the jury first got to
work the head of the company, whose
Office is in, Chicago, and the secretary
left the city, and young lady stem
ographer, who held a confidential
position, disappeared. Subsequently
the two officers were arrested and re-
leased on bail, and the young woman
was located and put on the stand. 1t
is alleged that complete expose of
the methods of the company was OBJ
ta1neQ from nef. Ine lnYeStlSatlOn
is secret A number of other wit
nesses have been examined, among
them members of educational insti-
tutions who complain of unfair prac-
tices and being at the mercy of
monopoly. 1t is reported that the
president of a southern factory told
how he was forced to sell out.
The charge against the American
Seating Company is violation of the
Serman antitrust law, and Is based
on information furnished-in many
instances voluntarily-to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
which turned the matter over to the
Department of Justice. 1t is sought
to show that competition has been
practically eliminated and prices
forced unreasonably high.
The interest in the case is wide
spread and deep, especially as. the
schools and churches are interested
and seem to have taken the initiative.
1t is not healthy to have these as
enemies out for ones scalp.
An allegation that probably has no
foundation in fact is that the theat-
rical trust in New York is the con-
trolling influence in the American
Seating Company.

SOLEMN ADVICE ON
CHOOSING A HUSBAND.

Henry Arthur Jones, whose plays,
Mrs. Danes Defense" and "The
Hypocrites," are now attracting so
much attention, brings out new,I
play in the American Magazine for
March. The chief character is an eX-
traordinary man seventy-five years
old who, face to face with death, goes
on enjoying life and making great
plans. One of his friends is young
girl whos during the old mans mo-
ments of relaxation, listens to his
wisdom. The old gentleman is char
mingly unhampered by convention.
by any desire to withhold. The veil
is withdrawn from the fully ripened
and completed individuality The
end, soon to come, brings it's own
philosophy and engenders frankness
of speech.
Here is one piece of advice:
Take care how you choose your
partner for life. You'll have a wide
choice, and all your future happiness
and the, happiness perhaps of many
generations to come, will depend on
the one moment when you say Yes
to one of the scores of young fellows
who'll ask you to be his wife. Take
care, dear! Take care! Look him
thoroughly up and down! Be sure
that he has a good full open eye, that
can look you straight in the face, and
be sure that the whites of his eyes
are clear. Take care he hasn't got
queer shaped head, or a low fore
head. A good round head, and a
good full high forehead, do you hear =?
Notice the grip of his hand when he
shakes hands with you! Take care
OF,
DRIP. No young man should have a |
cold dry hand. Don't say Yes till
you've seen him out of trousers, in
riding dress or court dress. Look at
the shape of his legs-a good well
shaped leg, eh, Peggie? And take
care it is his leg See that he's we'll
knit and little lean, not fiabby: |
doesn't squint; doesn't stammer; |
hasn't got any nervous tricks or |
twitchings. Don't marry a bald |
man! They say we shall all be bald |
in ten generations. Wait ten gener-
ations, Peggie, and then don't marry
bald man! Can you remember all |
this dear? Watch his walk! See that
he has a good sRringy step, and feet
made of elastic-can do his four
or five miles an hour without turn
ing hair. Don't have him if he
has a cough in the winter or spring.
Young men ought never to have
cough. And be sure he can laugh
well and heartily-not a Singer, or
wheeZe, or a cackle, but a good,
deep, hearty laugh right down from
the bottom of his chest. And If he
has a little money, or even a good
bit, so much the better! There now!
You choose a man like that, Peggie.
and l won't promise you that you'll
be happy, but if you're not 1t won't
be your fault, and it won't be his,
and it won't be mine!"
