Chicago Reformer Delights

FIGHT IN SEVENTEENTH WARD
Robins Gives Brief History of Corrupt
Politics Of One Section of Chicago,
and Draws Lesson From lt-Etfort
Being Made to Secure Robins for
Entertainment Course.

Raymond Robins, a member of the
followed q dozen vocations, including
that of settlement worker and civic
reformer during a busy life, delivered
before the Searchlight club Tuesday
night perhaps the most interesting and
instructive lecture the club has lis
tened TO In two seasons His lecture

an effort is being made today II Sc

Temple Graves, whose lecture date on

Civic Corruption and the Way Out"
was the subject Mr.. Robins discussed
before one of the smallest club audit
ences of the Winter Robins lecture
conferred particularly in the fight that
he and others waged against boss rule
and corruption in the Seventeenth
ward of Chicago, and his story was
Robins was one of the many pros
pec:ors who went to the Alaskan gold
:iaids when the rush was at its might.
and before he returned he had accounts
lated a comfortable fortune. With his
return to Chicago he led and entered
vigorously into the fight to literally
clean up the Seventeenth ward, then
under the control of Maurice O'Con-
ner. saloonist and ward boss. This
fight was against impure milk, unsan-
itary conditions, and political corrup-
ton. 1t lasted for five years, but i'll
the end it was won by the people,
headed by Robins. Incidental to the
crusade the ward inspector of santa
ton and thirteen of his assistants were
arrested and indicted.
Robins recounted in detail the strug-
gle that went on year after year, and
final victory for better ward govern
ment ard cleaner politics. This fight
was won five years ago, and the fruits
of the victory have been enjoyed ever
since by the people of the ward.
O'Conner is dead now and his ward
force is disbanded, while the people
that Robins put in power retain con-
troll.
Robins drew from his experience and
the result obtained the lesson Of his
lecture He said there was little bene-
fit in removing crooks from office, so
long as those who We're in control were
corrupt. because the ousted crook
would only be replaced by another full
ly as corrupt. The removal of the
temptation that causes men to be dis
honest, the speaker said was one of the
secrets of the reform. He said it awaited
little to denounce those responsible for
the corrupt conditions that existed. In
stead better way to conduct civic af-
fairs was pointed out to the people,
and on this platform reform was made
possible.
Robins declared that the world was
hungry for good government. He closed
his lecture by saying that "the ma
turity Of the nation will be nobler and
more divine that its youth"

BURY CAMMACK HERE
Thought That Body of Sherman T.
cammack Will Be Brought to This
City and Inferred Beside First Wife
in Riverside.

1t is thought very likely that the
body of Sherman T. Cammack, who
recently shot his young wife three
times and then killed himself, at Pu-
eblo Col, will be brought to this city
for interment. Word indicating that
such is the wish of the family has been
communicated to Mrs. George w.
Smith, in this city, but no definite re-
ply has been received from a telegram
sent by Mrs. Smith to Charles Cam
mack.
When Charles Cammack, brother of
the deceased, received the news of his
brothers death at Tacoma, Wash, he
Immediately posted special delivery
letter to Mrs. Smith, who is sister
of the first Mrs. Cammacll, asking if
there would be any objection on the
part of the Wyllis family to have his
brothers body buried beside the first
wife. This letter came yesterday, and
Mrs. Smith Immediately wired hen
mother, Mrs. Ruth Wyllis, at Rockford,
ILL.,, for her consent, which was given
in return message. Mrs. Smith there
upon wired Mr.. Cammack at Pueblo,
but as yet she has heard nothing as
to any definite arrangements for the
disposition of the body.

ton of Trains.

ton of Trains.
All of the railroads entering the city
were experiencing more or less trouble
in the handling of trains during the
night and this morning, owing to i'm
paired Geographic service, which made
the movement of trains uncertain and
tedious. The sleet storm of last night,
followed by the wet snow, which clung
to and added much weight to the
wires, caused breaks and an interrupt
ton of the service. In some instances
there were no wires working in GER
tain directions. The Iowa Central had
no wire north this morning, there be-
ing two breaks inside the city limits.
The Northwestern wires east of here
were in bad shape, which necessitated
a cautious movement of trains. and
which of course resulted in delays
Added to this difficulty, the rails
were very slippery from the sleet
which also tended to delay trains. All
of the morning trains were behind
time, some Of them being greatly de-
layed.

Action Against Former Mar
shalltown Pastor Dismissed
Without Prejudice
WOMAN SUED FOR $o,oou
Wife of Former LaPorte Pastor
Charged Mr.. MeIoy With SIanderin0
Her Character-Present Action Does
Not Bar Case Being Recommended
-lAeIoy Well Known Here.

The action begun last fall in the
BlackhaWk county district court DS
Mrs. j. w. Hamilton, of LaPorte
against j. B. Meloy in which the
plaintiff sought to recover damages IN
the sum of $4,000 for Islander. has been
dismissed without prejudice, thereby
causing a sensation in court circles
Mr.. Meloy's answer had been on file
several days, and preparations Were
being made for the trial. The dismissal
of the case without prejudice, however
does not prevent the action being re-
commenced at some future date.
Mrs. Hamilton, the plaintiff in the
case, is the wife of Rev. Mr.. Meloy,s
predecessor as pastor Of the United
Evangelical church of LaPorte. Mr.
Meloy went to LaPorte from this city
two years ago, after having established
street church. He is well known here
In her petition Mrs. Hamilton
claimed she had been greatly Wronged
by statements concerning her charac-
ter, circulated by Mr.. Meloy. She al
legged that the pastor had stated that
he had heard the plaintiff had been
seen sitting on the lap of promin-
ent Laporte physician, with her arms
about his neck, tenderly caressing him
The plaintiff also maintained that
the, defendant had given further cred
ence to the street gossip by calling for
a church trial to investigate the rum
ors; also in asking her to resign as a
teacher in his Sunday school. Because
she averred that her reputation in the
community had been destroyed, she
asked for $4,000 actual, and $1,000 ex-
emplary damages.
Mr.. Meloy, it is understood, had
prepared strong defense, and WOULD
claim that his actions We're justified by
the position he held as pastor of the
church, and We're done wholly in the
interests of the community.
Mrs. Nellie Frank, of Laporte, was
also made defendant in q similar
action by petition filed by Mrs Ham
ilton, who asked for $4,000 damages
AS; yet there is no indication that the
case against Mrs. Frank will not be
brought to trial.
