EARNEST WORK BEGINS
Foundation For Magnificent
South Chicago School
Is Being Made.

Work was started in earnest this
morning on the 100000 high school
at the corner of Eighty ninth street
and Manistee avenue.
Contractor w. G. Carter of Chicago,
who has the contract for the mason
work for the new Bowen school, is now
engaged in constructing the foundation
for the magnificent building which
will adorn the site. Instead of making
a wall of solid masonry for the foun-
dation, concrete filings twenty feet
deep are being driven to the ground.
A double row of these will be put in
and on these viii be erected the build
ing.
This is the latest method adopted in
modern construction work, as 1t is
thought to be more substantial and
will make the foundation as solid as
rock.
1t is thought that the concrete foun-
dation will be completed this week
and then the masonry work will be
started.

Lined With Great Multitndes of

From Forts and Ships.
Sydney, New South Wales. "A thin
veil of smoke on the horizon signalled
to the watchers on the coast the APP
proach Of the American warships, and
at 5.35 a. m. official notification was
sent out that the feet had been
sighted. 1t was yet twenty miles out
side of Sydney Harbor, but this word,
which had been awaited eagerly by
tens of thousands, stirred Australians
like a call to arms, and almost in
stantly those who had not already
left the city to take up positions Of
vantage along the bays, were moving
in droves to line the quays, the roof
tops, and other places on the harbor
front to watch the coming of the
guardships of the New World
The day broke bright and clear. So
intense was the interest in the Amer
lean ships of war that half the popu-
lace had remained awake the entire
night and thousands upon thousands
of them long before the night was
over were on their way to the hill
tops outside the city limits, where
they massed seemingly in unbroken
lines along the coast from Bondi
Beach to Manly.
It is estimated that hardly less
than half a million people assembled
to give the visitors a royal welcome.
Sydney Harbor, with it's innumerable
bays, coves and branches, never
looked more beautiful nor did the
American sailors ever witness more
inspiring sight than that which met
their eyes as the white ships came
through the channel past the great
headlands into Port Jackson.
A hundred thousand people, the
greatest single assemblage OF all,
gathered on the south head, where a
magnificent view of the whole scene
was to be had. Hundreds of craft of
all kinds moved up and down even at
that early hour, all the waters, with
the exception of the fairway and the
anchorage, being dotted with little
and big vessels decorated in every
conceivable manner with flags and
bunting.

miral Sperry on the bridge, the war
ships came out of the horizon. Pass
ing in through the Sydney Heads in
double column at intervals of 400
yards, the ships looked to have a
world of speed and power under their
gllstening sides. The fleet was at
tended by convoy steamers and was
greeted with roar of salutes from
the forts as it steamed slowly along.
The thousands ashore and afloat
added their cheers to swell the noisy
welcome, and countless British and
American flags were flung to the
breeze and still were waving long
after the anchors had been swung
from the sides
The American ships doomed forth
a salute to the port, and as soon as
they We're safely moored at their
anchorage official visits were ex.
changed.

CHAFIN ACCEPTS
AS LEADERS CHEER
Prohibition Candidate Notified Of
His Nomination.
HIS ADDRESS or ACCEPTANCE
At Music Hall, in Chicago. in tho
Presence of Large Audience,
Eugene w. Chain, OF Chicago,
Accepted Prohibition N Nomination


Accepted Prohibition Nomination
Chicago. At Music Hall, in the
presence Of a large and enthusiastic
audience, Eugene w Chain, of Chi
cago, accepted the nomination for the
Presidency by the Prohibition party.
The notification address was made by
Professor Charles Scanlon, Of Pitts
burg
In his speech of acceptance Mr..
Chain said in part:
We are now approaching the close
of another fifty years, where two
dominant political parties, Republican
and Democratic, have allied them
selves with the most gigantic crime
that ever cursed the world and by
their attitude made known to the
American people that they do not
propose to permit them to have
chance, even though the majority
may favor it, to destroy the liquor
traffic and add another amendment
to the Constitution which would
mark the highest achievement of civ
ilization in the worlds history
The lofty ideals of twentieth CEN
fury craftsmanship call for a United
States Senate born of an intelligent
peoples conscience instead of mock
ing statues surrounding the pedestals
of concentrated wealth; the equaliza-
ton of public burdens by a system
that will compel the rich to pay their
proper proportion of the costs of gov
eminent. A graduated income and
inheritance tax will be long step in
this direction
The development of the trusts
has changed entirely all the old the
cries of protective tariff and free
trade, and the people demand legis-
lation i'll their interest on this i'm
portant matter, which can best be
worked out by permanent tariff
commission. Ours is the only party
that strikes blow at the social evil,
so closely allied to the liquor traffic,
and proposes the only practical meth
cd of stamping out polygamy
throughout the nation by a uniform
marriage and divorce law.
While not line of history will
be changed by the election of a Re-
publican or Democrat, the triumph of
the Prohibition party and the placing
of it's platform in the Constitution
and upon the statute book will write
the longest, brightest, purest and
most beneficent chapter of history
that has marked the progress of civ-
ilization since governments were in
stituted among men,"
