TIRED OF PAYING RENT,
BUILD THEIR OWN FLATS
Prominent Residents of Chicago Es-
cape Clutches of Landlords by
Erecting Apartments for
Themselves
BY Associated Press.

Ry Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 14.-Five Chicago
men, having become tired of paying
rent and desiring to live in apartments
constructed after their own ideas, have
pooled their money and with 100000
will erect an apartment building in
which the plans of each one will be
carried out in the minutest detail.
This became known yesterday with
the announcement that plans for the
erection of the building on Cedar street
had been prepared
Each of the five will own the nat
he occupies. Instead of paying rent
each will pay his share of the cost of
the operation of the building, including
heat light and janitor service, the
wages of valet-in Uncommon, who will
be Installed in a room on the first floor.
The five men who are said to be the
first who ever have adopted this plan
of avoiding the payment of rent in an
apartment building, are James Petit,
j. b. Terbell Benjamin Marshall,
Charles e. Fox and an official of the
Rock Island railroad.
Each apartment will contain twelve
rooms. A feature of the building
which will be in the old colonial style
of architecture, will be that the first
floor will be used as a garage with
room for five machines.

CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS
is BELIEF OF THEOLOGlAN
Professor In University of Chicago
Divinity School Says He Falls
to See Return to
Faith"
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 14.-Prof. George B.
Foster of the University of Chicago
divinity school in an article on "The
Religious Basis of Ethics" in the cur
rent American Journal of Theology,
issued yesterday from the University
press, expresses the opinion that Chris
tianity is undergoing a crisis which
may destroy it TO make room for a
new faith
Prof. Foster declares Christendom is
witnessing the death of the traditional
Christianity and that the deepest
doubters have been forced by their
consciences to question Christian
ideals
Many thinkers are coming to look
upon the orthodox ideals as "grinning
and grotesque ideals,' he believes.
To-day we are hearing much of the
return to faith" he says. Personally
1 am unable to see any such return
there may be, indeed, signs of a new
faith but no return. In my opinion,
Christianity is in the most grievous
crisis in its history. l do not refer
to controversy in the newspapers and
on the street, but to the quiet, bitter
battle serious men are fighting out in
their own souls"

REASONS BY TIE RTNHEL.

In the long debate in which the House of Rep
resentatives engaged last Tuesday over The pro
visions of the bill regulating the taking of the
census of 1910 little light thrown by most
of the debaters OH the real purpose of that p0r-
tion of the measure which authorized the ap-
pointment without competitive examination Of
an additional census bureau force. Mr.. Crum-
packer. the chairman OF the Census Committee.
gave various reasons for the exemption which
had been Incorporated into the bill one was
that the committee had simply followed the
l,recetientS of other years and thereby shown 4
proper respect for the customary and the eStab-
lished. II is. Of course. the chief complaint Of
those who oppose the exemption that ii Will
accomplish again just what 1t accomplished be
fore With no test of merit TO debar the incom-
petent. the census working force of other years
was constituted in large part Of half efficient
clerks selected under pressure from members Of
the TWO houses of Congress. The Hon Carroll
d. Wright. Il former director OF the census, has
testified 10 the great waste caused in taking
earlier censuses 10y the incapacity OF large
proportion ot the employees selected under the
non competitive system. More than that EN-
ployes getting ou the temporary census roll have
usually been transferred later in body TO the
permanent classified service, So that brief SO
journ in the office has been utilized as an
easy means OF securing u permanent, protected
position without ever having qualified for 1t by
the merit test.
Tradition. however. according to Chairman
Crumpacker. has claims to which the conserva
tive legislator must bow. Moreover. as he told
the House it would be injustice 10 submit
applicants for census places to the usual Civil
Service tests for under the Civil Service law ap-
pOntmentS must be app0rtioned equitably among
the states. The states the national capital
have already full quotas of appoiutees, so that
the successful applicants would have to come
from distant points, and it would be a hardship
to ask "A man or woman TO travel a thousand miles
or TO Washington TO take an Office with
tenure Of only three years. 1t would naturally
be better for everybody that the appointments
