BLACK EYE FOR
 BIG BOULEVARD

Chicago. Aug. 5.-The first step pro posed by the Commercial Club of Chl- cago in general City Beautiful scheme. an elevated boulevard over the Chicago river to connect the north and south side boulevards and park systems, has received a black eye.
 For some mysterious reason" the boulevards committee of the club ad- vocated a long causeway or viaduct which would cost from $6,OOO,OOO to $1O 100000, but the taxpayers. wno would have to foot the bills, rose up wrathfully and declared that the via duct not only would be "a rich mans causeway," a speedway for automo- biles," "wart' and defacement in- stead of an improvement, but that such a grotesque structure would make Chicago's efforts to dress up grotesque instead of admirable.
 Mrs. Potter Palmer, among others, denounced the plan, and during re- cent years she has seen much of Flu repean boulevards, where beauty has been attained, has seen more of them than of Cbicago's busy streets, in

 Before she could be cross examined the noon hour arrived, and immedi- ately after dinner her application for the appointment of a receiver for the Taylor company was heard by Chan cellor Bourland, and refused, and the injunction issued by Judge Falconer dissolved Then there was confer ence which resulted in the announce ment that Miss Kane would dismiss her prosecution and Mr. Taylor would pay the costs.
 It was funk right an/ disappoint- ment galore to the many who gather ed to listen, in a frame of great ex- pectancy, because of the rumor that behind the quarrel there was a piquancy of detail which would fat ten the curiosity of the light-minded.

DOGS. CATS AND THE POOR.

The cream of Chicagos society," many rich and prominent women have received severe rebnke from NuniciDal Judge Gemmell, who has appealed to their sense of duty to hu- manity by telling them to leave cats and dogs alone and help the poor and needy children instead These society women have been spending money and time in ministering to stray cats ard dogs, and the walls and howls of the Iatients so distracted the neigh bcrhood around the hospital that the residents resolved to air this fad of Cbicago's -four hundred" in the courts, in an effort to secure peace and quiet throughout the hot days and long nights. Then the law took it's coprse and IA dogs and 10 cats were given the death penalty, though later given a stay of execution of one weeK Mrs. Margaret Carter, manager Of t'e refuge for crippled cats and homeless dGgs, conducted the defense and Ie celvcd the scoring of the court on behalf of the aristocratic packers of the organization.

THE CAUSE OF TT ALL.

Banks must have been sound, or widespread ruin would have marked the stringency of 1907, which is gen. orally conceded to have been the se- vcrest the world has ever witnessed.
 This is the opinion of Leslie M. Shaw expressed in his own words.
 Now, the question naturally arises: Ii the panic was not due to m actdal shortage of ready money, to what other cause was it due?
 The Republican party has stated repeatedly that it was not due to the rascality of Wall street, nor to it's own criminal connivanc. at condi- tions which it's members, by a manly stand for national honor, might have prevented, or at least alleviated. Yet Mr. Shaw, Republican who stands high in the councils of his party, says there was plenty of money in the banks. What, then, caused the panic if it was not the thievish operations of Wall street, nor yet criminal negli- gence on the part of the Republican organization.
 Mir. Shaw might do the country a favor by going deeper into the matter. Taft will be called upon to explain these matters

THE START MADE BY THE INDE
 PENDENCE LEAGUE.

Under an X-ray analysis the roster of delegates to the Independence leagues first convention, at which William Randolph Hearst uttered the keynote war cry against things in general. bore an interesting resem blance to the payroll of the Hearst publications. 1t was noticed that there were many vociferous voices among the delegates which reminded one of those which cry "eXtry' on the street corners of many cities. In explanation it was stated that in the Texas delegation Tracy Adams, a newspaper hustler" or circulation "pusher" was an active delegate 'tChi" Red, who draws pay from the work, was an important delegate from Maine. Tom Butts. a circulation man from Indiana, was delegate from that state Nose" Annenberg, whose work is securing subscribers to the Hearst papers in Wisconsin, also was a delegate Tommy" Brasky, news boy who is well known about Clark and Madison streets in Chicago acted as a dignified representative of Mis- souri. Eddie Burke a central dis trict driver, also was present and as a delegate cheering whenever the up- raised voice of speaker indicated +hat Hearst employees were expected 70 enthuse Dummy Higgins, driv- CT of one of the Hearst newspaper wagons in Chicago, and his brother, Al, were delegates from Kentucky. The narrative of Jacob I. Sheppard of Fort Scott, kas. the man who tried to nominate Bryan, told after he had ap- piled arnica to his bruises and new clothes to his back, was sidelight On the Hearst uplift in behalf of the "common people" He related how he was seized for ejectment, how he was 'roughhoused' and finally rescued from the delegation by the detail of police present. It was he who charged that the platform was changed before submitted to the convention. The start which independence" made was novel.

FIT. SMITH SENSATION
 FELL RATHER FLAT

Ft Smith, Aug 5.-The sensation that was promised over the quarrel
 between Albert Taylor and Frankie Kane, the actors, fell fiat when brought into court.
 Albert Taylor, the defendant, was On hand as smiling as basket of chips is supposed to be. Miss Kane the plaintiff, was also there, demure, somewhat petite, rather good-looking
 with herself well in hand, and hand ling a Madonna look with exquisite skill
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Rector was apparently fairly saturat- ed with the wrongs alleged to have been heaped upon the defenseless lit tie woman, His opening in her be- half was bo1e rhetorical and dramat- ic. He eulogized her many graces of form, charms of manner, beauty of face. and brilliancy Eof intellect, told of her wrongs in a swan song that had it's effect He catapulated Taylor with invective, and if his words had been Damascus blades there would not have been enough of Taylor left to gather up. His opening was strik- | ingly chivalrous in behalf of his client.
 Congressman CravenS, counsel for Taylor. put up verbal ante that I fully covered the bet made by MT.
 Rector He placed the picture of Mir.
 Taylor in frame of golden words, and if halo had appeared above the
 head of the gentleman and hung in suspension, no one would nave been
 surprised Tn a neat and incisive way
 he disintegrated the story of the as
 sault into nothing and seemingly proved it to be a figment .of Miss
 Kane's mind, and assured the jury that when the evidence was heard MT.
 Taylor would stand in the clear with
 the beautiful sunshine streaming
 down and embellishing spotless
 character.
 As between Congressman Cravens
 and MT. Rector, it was an interesting and amusing play of words, with the

FIGHTING FOR
 BILLEK'S LIFE
Theory Based Upon Arsenic Found in Henry Niemann's StOmach-FOr. mer Mayor Dunne Presided at a Public Demonstration in the Auditorium.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The fight over the guilt Or innocence1 of Herman Billek, the Bohemian fortune teller, who has gained a respite from the gallows through his appeal to the United
 States Supreme Court, was waged
 upon two widely separated battle grounds last night.
 At Wheaton. H., a coroners jury heard evidence to the effect that one fifteenth of a grain of arsenic had been found in one-th;rd of the organs of the recently eXhumed body of Hen ry Niemann. who the friends Billek believe was poisoned by the same person who caused the series of deaths in the Vrzal family. Dr. liar old N. Mover of Chicago testified that while the amount found in itself would be insufficient to cause death murder may have been committed in small and often repeated doses. The case was then continued.
 A cago, before an audience of 300 per sons who had braved the torrid night to listen to pleas for Billek, Rev. Fla ther P. J. O'Callaghan of St. Mary S Roman Catholic church poured the vitroil of his oratory upon States At torney Healey. who, he declared, was dishonest and capable of taking the blood of ali innocent man.
 Former Mayor Edward F. Dunne presided.
 Edna Billek. daughter of the con- victed murderer; Herman Billek Jr., Mrs. Billek and Jerry VrZal, who re- Billek were upon the stage.

Keep the children at home.

Keep the children at home.
 The way to keep them at home is to make the kind of a home they ough. to have.
 The writer knows one home of the right kind. You could scarcely drive the children away from that home with club.
 It is not fine home or expensive to keep. It is just comforta ble And it is presided over by a woman of ra re sense and tact This woman cares more fer her children than she does for fine clothes, or for society. or for a woman's club. She wants her chil- dren to have good time while they may-and knows bow to give it to them
 For instance:
 Two boys belong to this family What fun those young cubs have. They do not go srumbiihg to their chores Mother knows how to make drudgery rare sport Or. if the task is hard. there is the sure reward Of play at the other end. There is bi. yard and garden. The boys work be- times in the garden and enact high jinks in the back yard. There is big tree. the barn, the alley Noisy? Of course. That develops lung cells. And they are mighty hard On clothes! But
 If you want to find the boys of the neighborhood go to that house-the in- fallible boy test of the sort of mother fellows have.
 The boys have q room of their own It happens there are two windows in this room on the west. And there are striped awnings over those windows Lots of people in the neighborhood are richer, but they never think of buying striped window awnings-"just for a boys room"
 Down in the basement are plenty of tools and soft pine boards. And things are bit topsy turvy down there But you should see the ''contraptions the boys make And if by any means why. that is best of all.
 In the yard are swing and ham, mock. To be sure. they break down occasionally when too many kids tum- ble in at once. But rope and ham hooks do not cost much And nobody is ever scolded.
 There is also q girl in the family.
 She is something of q romp The neighbors call her a "tomboy." She is as 1.-the as the family cat And there are freckles on her nose. Ru, when the other girls play with paper dolls and mimic their mammas it happens they nearly always do so over at this girls home. Elsewhere they might rumple things np and incur re- marks.
 You might think there is great de, srrucrion of property in this home. hut there is not And. above all, in the daily voca buary of this bright mother there is NO SUCH WORD AS DON'T"
 The recipe for keeping the children at horie is a simple one:
 RIA little good sense. few ounces of patience. d pinch of tact Mix with REAL MOTHER LOVE-

Mr.. Burroughs did not deny that
Mr.. Register had been robbed of $50
in cash and his railroad ticket, hut 1t
was absurd to think OF Mr.. Royster
carrying around with him $4,000 even
in notes.
The truth OF the thing" said Mr..
Burroughs. is that Mr.. Register car.
ried with him an English certificate
OF credit TO the amount of $4,000. This
certificate may have been stolen from,
him. but 1t was absolutely worthless
unless it bore his signature and he
simply carried the certificate to siGu
and present it in the even of any pos
sible emergency by which he would
need that much money on his trir
