BEAN EATERS GO TO CHICAGO
Party of Boston's Upper Ten to Pay
Visit to Windy City.
Especial to The Free Press7

Boston, Dec. l.-"While your NUM-
cipality shows every indication of a
most commendable enterprise, it is to
be feared that the refinement and in
tellectual culture so dominant in the
commonwealth we have the distin-
guished honor to represent is utterly
and totally lacking in Chicago life
Some such criticism as this may be
expected when the party of Boston
ians, which will leave the sacred pre-
cincts CT Goldfish aristocracy today for
trip to the wild and woolly, arrives
in Chicago. Governor Eben S. Draper is
at the head of the party, and many
other prominent citizens of the Bay
State are enrolled for the excursion
The invaders will remain in Chicago
as long as they can tolerate the at
mosphere, which will probably be two
or three days.

RULE HOLDS on FEW DAYS
President Macfarland of the District
of Columbia Out Jan. I.
I TSpeciaI fo Tho Crea Dreee

Washington, Dec. Henry B. F.
mcfarland, president of the board of
District of Columbia commissioners
and practically the ''ruler" of Wash
ington, will retain office until Jan. l.
instead of retiring day, as originally
announced. President Taft urged the
commissioner to stay until the first OF
the new year. Not long ago Com
missioner West resigned, and Mr.. Mac.
farland's retirement leaves only Engi
neer Commissioner Major William V
Judson in charge of the administration
of the district.
The reason assigned for Mr. Mac
farland's retirement is that he desires
to practice law. Mr.. West explained
that he wanted to take up newspa
per business again. When Mr.. Mac
farland was reappointed, about yeal
ago, it was understood that he would
not serve a full term.
1t is thought now that the president
intends to recommend return to thu
old one-man system of government fo
the district, with a governor at thu
head of it. Since the retirement o
Governor Shepard, many years ago, th'
district has been in the hands of three
commissioners appointed by the presi
dent.

.ENJOIN THE MILK PEDDLERS
Kansas City Dairymen Forced to Show
Up in the Court.
CSnacjal "a The Eree Orese
to The Free Press.]


Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. Those re-
sponsible for raising the price of milk
are brewing trouble for themselves
Thirty one dairymen and milkmen
here have been blocked by order OF
court.
The injunction holds until today
when the offenders must appear before
Judge Park in the federal court to
meet the charge of combining in re-
straint of trade. The action is
brought by the authorities in the
name of the state. Pubic sentiment
strongly supports it.
Instead of resting content with the
eastern scheme of advancing the price
l cent at time, they made bold
first jump from cents quart to 10,
and were figuring on another leap to
1919 cents quart when the law seized
them.
DR.. Lloyd Chapman, field inspector
of the city milk inspection depart
ment, falls with the combine. He has
been writing to the newspapers that
the price of milk should be raised to
insure good article. On the suppo,
sition that his writings started the
combine idea, he has been dismissed
from office.

CENTURY MARK OF AN ORDER
Sisters of Charity in the United States
Observe An Anniversary.
Ccpeci,l IA The Eree pra.e7
to The Free Press.l

New York, Dec. LA celebration of
the centennial anniversary of the
founding of the order of the Sisters
of Charity in the United states by
Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, was
commenced today in every Catholic
church of the city, and will continue
versary was in June, but the absence
OF Archbishop Farley in Europe caused
the observance to be postponed. A
through tomorrow. The actual ami
solemn pontifical mass was celebrateu
by Archbishop Farley in st. Patrick's
Cathedral today. The preacher was
Mgr. Mclean of st. Peters, in which
church Mother Seton was baptized.
Nearly all the bishops and clergy of
the province were present
Mother Seton, as she was called. en-
braced the Catholic faith in 1905 and
was confirmed in old st. Peters church.
She founded the Sisters of Charity in
1909 at Emmetsburg, Nd, and was
elected the first mother superior of
her order. The same year she estab-
lshed st. Josephine's college. The
centenary of its existence was celebrat-
ed at Emmetsburg last June.
She sent her first band of sisters
to this city in 1877. Now there are
nearly two thousand of the order la
boring in the schools and institutions
of New York. The order now con-
duncts establishments from Maine to
California. There are LIS sisters in
charge of hospitals, orphanages, in
FAINT asylums, industrial schools and
insane asylums, besides parochial
schools.
Since the death of Mother Seton at
the age of forty-seven her eligibility
to sainthood has been brought to the
attention of the vatican, and an &C.
clesiastical court is now examining the
data with view to her Qualification
and canonization.

ment / was embarrassed at times
when visiting pastmasters suggested
difficulties and | was unable to point
to the way such difficulties were met
in the Washington postoffice. When

mined that the Washington post office
should be made a model office, and
DR.. Grandfield is an, ideal man to
carry out the scheme. He knows my
ideas on the subject and is in every
way qualified to carry them out"
The office is to be equipped with the
latest mechanical devices and to have
employees thoroughly versed in the
handling of local mails at every stage
New Methods are to be introduced, az
well as improvements in the registry
and money order services, the station

NIP FIRE IN THE BUD
BLAZE IS DISCOVERED IN THE
STORE OF ]. P. KR0ST.
Department Squelched to Flames
With Chemicals; Quick Stop Put
to What Might Have Proven a
Serious Confagration; Building Not
Damaged Much; Dense Smoke Fill
ed the Basement; Insurance.

What might have proven a very bad
fire was narrowly averted last night
or early this morning. While Mr..
Busch, a night engineer at the city
pump station, was going home from
his work at twelve o'clock, he noticed
smoke issuing from the basement of
j. 2. Krost's yneral store, at the cor
ner of Front and Washington streets.
He aroused Paul Detlof, who tele-
phoned to the central fire station. The
station called Mr.. Krost up, and went
to the fire. Breaking in the back door,
the fremen made their way down into
the basement, which was so filled with
smoke that their lantern was put out.
After the windows had been opened,
and the smoke given chance to get
out, the firemen were able to locate
the fire, which was back of couple of
kerosene tanks.
Squelched Fire With Chemicals.
| The firemen soon had the flames
out with chemicals. They did this
none too soon, as the fire had already
melted the solder from the seams of
the covering of one of the kerosene
tanks, and part way down one side,
and the kerosene had begun to run
out, and what was inside the tank
was steaming. little more and the
oil would have caught fire, and the
consequent explosions would have
sent it all over the basement, which
contained many boxes and other in
fammable matter Standing beside the
kerosene tank was another that was
full. The one that had begun to leak
contained fifty gallons. Had an ex-
plosion occurred while the iremen
were in the basement it is painful to
think what might have happened.
Building Not Damaged Much.
Everything in the basement was
itself was not damaged much. The
smoke filled the store room above, but
did not do much if any damage there
Mr.. Krost is unable to state what
the loss will be, but carried insurance
How the fire started is a mystery
1t might have been from a match
that got swept in some rubbish, back
of the cans, gnawed by a mouse o.
, rat, or it might have started from
spontaneous combustion in some oily
burlap that was back of the cans.
After the fire had been gotten out
someone turned in general alarm
from box 26, and the entire depart
ment turned out. 1t was 1880 a. "A:
when the central station got the alarm.

COME IN; HAVE A PARALYZER
New Way Is Suggested of Inviting a
Friend to Have a Drink.


Friend to Have a Drink.
Chicago, Dec. Limitations to take
a drink of alcoholic liquor couched in
scientific terms, or in language ascrib-
ing to drink the name of it's effect on
the drinker, would tend to quench he
thirst of the prospective drinker with
out the imbibing of the fluid named
according to an idea propounded by
DR.. David Starr Jordan, president of
Leland Stanford university, before the
Englewood Woman's club.
For example:
''Come in comrade, and get a 'dessic-
Gator of LYMPH or,
"Won't you have 'bepeddler OF
thought waves?' or
"Let's have beat your wife and
kick the cat or as Dr. Jordan sug-
gested:
"Come on, old chap, let's get a
'paralyzer for our phagocytis.'
That paralyzing the phagocytis
makes a person more susceptible tc
illness is indicated by the definition OF
the word, which is:
''Phagocyte-a lymph corpuscle OIL
white blood corpuscle, regarded as an
organism capable of devouring what
it meets, especially pathogenic mi
crobes."
"Paralyzing the phagocytis by drink
means that we destroy that part of us
built for annihilating dangerous
germs" explained DR.. Jordan.
'The folly of the habit is obvious.
Disease is due to some plant Of
animal organism, and now that We
know the cause we may stamp out tn,
result"

NEW PLAN SCORES VICTORY
AT BURLINGTON.

Burlington, Iowa, Dec. L
The commission plan of city
government scored a brilliant
victory in Burlington Monday,
where it was voted upon after
an interesting campaign. The
vote stood 2,G3S for and l,26S
; against, the majority for the
plan being 1870. Every ward in
) the city gave majority for it.
The opposition to the new law
was chiefly among the saloon
element, which feared radical
reform measures under a COM
mission government. This oppo-
sition was, however, exaggerated
during the campaign. and really
amounted to little.
