SAVES MANY FROM SUICIDE
Salvation Army Bureau Persuades
TWentyseVen 10 Live

CHICAGO, Mch. 27.-During the
three weeks which have elapsed since
the organization of the Salvation army
anti-suicide bureau at 399 State street
it has proved its usefulness. Accord
ing to the reports and belief of Mrs.
Commissioner Kilbey and Brigadier
A. Mcmillan. who have charge of this
branch of the work. nearly 80 people
have been dissuaded from suicidal
purposes and have been placed in posi-
tons, when necessary, which yield a
livelihood and give opportunities for
further usefulness.
The bureau was organized three
weeks ago last Thursday, and in that
time 20 men and seven women who
contemplated self destruction have
visited the officers, have been dissuad
ed from the extreme course and per-
suaded to continue in their work or en-
abled to obtain employment. Brigadier
Mcmillan said yesterday afternoon that
as far as he knew not one of the q
who had called at the Office for adj
vice and gone forth had carried out
their original purpose.
All Classes Of People.
I'VE have had people of all classes
and stations in life; gamblers who had
lost their last dollar; business failures
who had taken to drink, men and
women who were of considerable
means, but who had become despond-
ent because Of the death of some dear
one, and the poor who were to be
classed among the down and outs
1--WE haven't tried to preach religion
to them, but have given friendly adj
vice and sympathy. In the case of the
poor and half-starved we have given
them a couple of good, square meals
a good nights rest, and then have
found work for them, and most of them
haven't thought of suicide since. Every
day l receive number of telephone
messages from our patients who have
gone away and they are most encour-
aging and or cheerful tone. And they
always are perfectly free to come to
the headquarters whenever they please,
or if the old temptation returns.
A PitifuI Case.
Several days ago l had pitiful
case. A young man who had gone so
far as to remove every possible iden-
LITIGATION mark, from his clothing came
to me. We talked a long time and we
discussed the matter thoroughly, and
he finally agreed to make another try
at things. I have heard from him since
and he is on the high road to become
a useful member of society.
This is the sort Of work we are do
ing, but we need better quarters and
larger resources. This we hope for in
time when philanthropists are con-

forceful and scholarly induction.
The lectures are being given in all

it was now up to the powers to make

made the remark.
Chief. Jerry Brown was present at
the meeting last night. He shook
hands with two of the councilmen as
he came in and took chair to the left
of the mayor. Only once was he called
upon during the meeting. 1t was when
the council wanted to know if Kremer
and GrOssmiller had kept open on
Sunday since the time for which they
had been convicted in the superior
court. The answer was of the Gull
berson variety. He said: Not to my
knowledge. They might have been

ANTICS OF THE COUNCIL.

In going over the reports OF the
proceedings of the city council last
night one cannot but be impressed
with the wholesale disregard of num-
cipal interests and the excessive de-
votion to personalities on the part of
some of those representatives who
represent nothing but their own in
terests and the interests of certain
corporations accused Of having undue
influence. 1t is a Kilkenny exhibition
calculated to increase the feeling OF
ridcule expressed every time meet
ing of the city council is referred to.
The Statesman has had occasion be-
fore to refer to the unfortunate and
disagreeable conditions prevailing in
the council. These conditions were
never more strongly demonstrated
than in the pulling and hauling last
night.
1t appears almost impossible to hold
a council meeting without those per-
sonal fireworks which smother the
real objects of the meetings. Instead of
voting according to the facts and with
sound judgment some of the members.
a majority of them in fact,
pality to be routed by personal enmity.
In other words. although perhaps con-
WINGED of the good of a measure. or
proposed action, one or more oppose 1t
simply because another councilman
supports it. This personal feeling is
injected into the consideration Of every
measure of Importance and conduces
to an absolute prohibition of calm adj
ministrati ton of the city's affairs.
So long as the clownish antics were
of the amusing variety, with no effect
on needed legislation, the people could
stand for them. But when those clowns
begin to further muddle an already
murky state of affairs, it is time to
call a halt.
There was some good came out of
the council meeting last night in the
garbage incinerator and the having
contracts. But there could have come
more good if the councilmen had de-
voted more time to discussing the
financial conditions, fOrestalling a
movement which may delay city i'm
prOvements and turn their attention to
solving the serious problems con-
fronting them, instead of deVOting the
time to acrimonious debate and petty
larceny politics always adhering to
the saloon question.
Let us hope those gladiators of the
center table may be induced to retire
to the rear with their seedlings while
more good is being done.

when pressed to tell who he meant by

that "wily" politicians had gone uI
and down the street during the last
campaign promising immunity to sa-
loon keepers for violation of the Sun
day closing law in case the regular

The answer brought out a howl OF
delight from the crowd Of spectators
who were present, attracted by the dis
cussion of revoking saloon licenses-o1
which the remark of the old council
man was an incident.
The observation of the mayor thai

LOUIS SCHMIDT SAYS HE WAS ASLEEP

Louis Schmidt, whose license was
revoked by the council, appeared be-
fore that body last night and asked
the council to give the license back
again. He created much amusement
among the spectators by his plea that
he had been asleep at the time of the
violation and his "barkeep' had only
taken in some friends to treat them to
a glass of beer.
When told he was responsible for the
actions of his employe. he said. We'll. l

In the argument on the case it was

expressed that there was little doubt
