THE SUNDAY SALOON.
Chicago Is Up In Arms Over the Tem.
 perance Question.

Chicago, Feb. Friends and foes of the Sunday saloon held meetings yesterday and girded themselves for a Titanic struggle. For the first time in Chicago's history the paramount issue in the April elections will be the liquor question. It is battle that both sides welcome, and each is already claiming victory.
 Organized attack upon the Chicago law and order league was planned series of district meetings by dele gates from the United societies for lo- cal self government Plans were made for mass meeting to be hell by the societies next Sunday at the First regiment armory. At that meet ing formal protest will be made against any further waste of tax payers money in prosecuting sa- loonkeepers who sell liquor on Sun day. The building holds 5000 an( provision has been made for large overflow.
 Those urging Sunday closing heb a meeting at the Woodlawn Presby- terian church. Addresses were made by the Rev w. A. Quayle, the Rev w A. Bartlett and Arthur Burrage Far we'll The collection Is said to have amounted to nearly $500.
 MT Bartlett criticised the failure of the state to secure verdict of guilty in five Sunday saloon cases. He ad- yised sending a delegation to Wash ington to see President Roosevelt about it.

 Three minutes later the captain was on the bridge. The great ship had swung, and they were speeding direct for the phenomenon. But within . few minutes the light had died out.

I In pause Billy Edwards said musing ly:
 ''Well, there was the Laughing Lass"
 How did you happen to hit on her?'' asked Barnett quickly.
 "W'hy not. sir? It naturally came into my head. She was last seen somewhere about this part of the world, wasn't she?" After moments hesitation he added, "From something heard ashore I judge we've con- mission to keep watch out for her as well as to destroy derelicts."
 What about the Laughing Lass?' asked McGuire, the paymaster, New i Englander, who had been in the serV- 1 ice but short time.
 Good Lord, don't you remember the Laughing Lass mystery and the dis appearance of Dr. Schermerhorn?"
 Karl Augustus Schermerhorn, the man whose experiments to identify telepathy with the Marconi wireless waves made such a furore in the pa persT
 "Oh, that was only byproduct of his mind, He was an original inves tigator in every line of physics and chemistry, besides most of the natural sciences" said Barnett. "The govern ment is particularly interested in him because of his contributions to aerial photography"
 And he was lost with the Laughing Lass"
 Nobody knows" said Edwards. 'He left San Francisco two years ago on hundred foot schooner with an assist ant, big. brass bound chest and ragamufIln crew. A newspaper man named Slade, who dropped out of the world about the same time, is sup posed to have gone along too. Their schooner was last sighted about 450 miles northeast of Oahu in good shape and bound westward. That's all the record of her that there is"
 "Was that Ralph SladeY' asked Bar nett
 "Yes. He was a free lance writer and artist
 "I knew him we'll" said Barnett. He was in our mess in the Philippine campaign on the North Dakota War correspondent then. It's strange that I never identified him before with the Slade of the Laughing Lass"
 What was the object of the voy- age?" asked Ives.
 ''They were supposed to be after buried treasure" said Barnett.
 i've always thought it more likely that Dr. Schermerhorn was on q sci entlfic expedition" said Edwards. T knew the old boy, and he wasn't the sort to care for treasure, buried or un- buried"
 Every time ship sets out from San Francisco without publishing to all the world just what her business Is all the world thinks it's one of those wild goose hunts" observed Ives.
 "Yes," agreed Barnett. "Flora ana fauna of some unknown island would be much more fin the ScheEnerhorn line of traffic Not unlikely that some of the festive natives collected the un- fortunate professor"
 Various theories were advanced, with drawn. refuted, defended. and the dis cussion carried them through the swift twilight into the darkness which had been hastened by a high spreading canopy of storm clouds. Abruptly from the crows nest came startling news for those desolate seas: Light. ho. Two points on the port bowr'
 The lookout had given extra voice to it. It was plainly heard throughout the ship.
