CHICAGO COUNCIL MAKES
$40 RATE FOR AlRSHlPS

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-After deliberat-
ing on the new license ordinance to be
submitted to the city council In the
near future, the council license COM
mittee decided yesterday that If any
enterprising firm or individual puts
line of airships in operation in charge
it will cost them just $40 per day for
each of the aerial crafts.
Some of the aldermen thought this
might make the fare too high-'worse
than a taxicab," as one of them put it,
but Alderman Bowles of the Nineteenth
ward silenced these objections by say

is flying high anyhow, so I guess we

STORE ARRESTED
VALUABLE GOODS ARE FOUND IN
MRS. M1TTENeER's ROOMS
Admits Taking Articles, but Blames
Husband in Arizona for Her
PecuIations-ls Locked
Up Without Bail

AS result of systematic investi-
CATION by women detectives, Mrs.

night charged with the larceny Of laces
valued at nearly $500 and locked up
at police headquarters without ball.
For seven weeks Mrs. Mittenger has
been employed in the lace department
at the Fifth Street store, and suspicion
was directed toward her recently when
valuable laces were found missing
from the department in which she
was employed.
A search was made at the Roosevelt
apartments, 334 South Figueroa street,
where Mrs. Mittenger lived, and 1T Is
said that laces of value, which the
prisoner could not account for, were
found.
The discovery was reported to De-
tective zeigler, who located Mrs. Nit
tenger, and she was locked up without
bail.
Further investigation showed that
Mrs Mittenger had been employed at
the Fifth Street store for seven weeks
and was supposed to have been a
trusted employe.
At police headquarters Mrs. Mitten-
ger admitted that she was married
woman and was separated from her
husband in Phoenix, Ariz., two years
ago.
She became hysterical when ar
raigned before the police desk SER
geant, denied her guilt and wept bit
terly when told that she could not be
released on bail until after her pre-
liminary hearing Monday.

AMERICANS SHOULD BREAK
FROM EUROPEAN INFLUENCE
Noted Dramatist Declares in Three
Years Native Genius Would
Assert Itself in Arts

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-"If the American
people could be cut off from the influ-
ence of Europe for three years, the
effects on American art and literature
would be not only vastly beneficial, but
positively astounding.
Native genius, inspired by native
motives, would, in that time, lay the
foundations of a literature and an art
that would be typically American and
Americans would then begin to pro-
duce an art and literature that would
be recognized as American the moment
they were SEEN"
This was the declaration of Frederik
Van Eeden, the noted Dutch dramatist,
novelist and scientist, to the Cliff
Dwellers, with whom he tok luncheon
yesterday afternoon at their club

is one of the fast diminishing
numbers who wore the blue in

his war record is as fine as his
peace record. though he Is a
modest man not given to speak

Mr.. Abbey stands opposed to
the saloon, he will vote against
license if the mayor shall have
to vote, and any man who doubts
this doesn't know him.
He has given the city hours
and days Of his time in the past

honest and untiring, and has
made an excellent official.

VOTERS

Second within the past ten days

this means it is hoped to secure

tempt Of that paper. the name
OF Jo1n l.. Gleager was men,

share Of personal abuse. The
fact is, Mr.. Gleaver has been in
i'll health for a few weeks past
and neither by word Of mouth

has been a clean, law-abiding
and highly esteemed citizen for
a great many years, one whose
conduct, both private and pub

that OF the man who would thus
thrust a dart at him. These
methods have been so long used
by that paper thatit has become
the fountain head OF their argu-
ment, and a necessity in order
to get out the weekly edition.
There is not a family in the city
where the same dart would sink
deeper tnan IN the Davis family.
Because d man has charge of a
