WAYMAN IS GIVEN
HINT TO RETIRE
Committee Ask If Probe Could
Continue Without Him.
REMARK NEEDS EXPLAINING
Investigation Becomes Heated When
Judges Demand Explanation
from States Attorney Con-
corning embarrassing"

Chicago, Nov. 10.-What were con-
strued by many as hints that States
Attorney Wayman should withdraw
from the investigation of the office of
the jury commissioners, were dropped
during one of the most heated sessions
of the judges committee held up to
date. The fire was drawn from the
judges because they had received
marked copies OF newspapers quoting
Mr.. Michaels to the effect that the
judges were seeking to .'whitewash"
the investigation. The difficulty was
finally settled by a disavowal of re-
marks.
Remarkable Scene Ensues.
When the jury commission investi-
cation was resumed by Judges Barnes,
Honore and Rinaker, following the
sensational postponement last week,
a remarkable scene followed during
which States Attorney Wayman was
asked whether the investigation could
go on without his presence. This fol-
lowed the question as to whether AS
sistant States Attorney Michaels gave
out the interview referred to in which
it was charged the judges meant to
use seven nice little whitewash
brushes"
Both Mr.. Wayman and Mr.. Michels
refused to answer, and the states at
torney protected that This committee
has no right, in an investigation of
this character, to take up collateral
matter"
Remarks Insulting.
we certainly have such a right"
exclaimed Judge Honore, sharply.
The remarks attributed to the assist.
ant states attorney are contemptuous
and insulting to each of the members
of this committee. We represent the
% judges OF record in Cook county,
and if We were sitting in regular court
instead of in this quasi-judicial ca.
pacity, | have no hesitancy in saying
that such an expression would bring
a sentence for contempt.
We only ask that the states at.
torney or his assistant say to us that
we will be ready to proceed"
Il am here to present further evil
dence as to corruption in the Office
of the jury commission" retorted Mr.
Wayman, and Mr.. Michels is here 10
assist me. We are not here TO con,
slider newspaper reports"
Hint to Wayman.
Judge Honore then asked Mr.
Wayman whether the investigation
could not proceed as well without his
presence.
Mr.. Wayman gasped.
Il am here by invitation of the
judges" he said at length. IF they
feel have worn out my welcome
will 60"
The committee feels it should get
at all the evidence possible. If your
presence appears to you to be abso
lutely essential. we will consider 1t.

Daily Helps to Health

Have faith In yourself, In your

and you can almost create your
life as you will. You, yourself,
are your best friend or your
worst enemy. Nature gives you
the option; dts up to you" to
make your life a happy and
successful one or the opposite.
Life Is but a succession of OPP
portunities; they are for good
or eviI-as we make them. Life
Is pleasant or unpleasant, hard
or easy, according to the way
you look at II, the way you think
Of life. Thoughts govern ac-
ton, and he who governs his
thoughts Is master Of his des-
tiny. Destiny Is not about you,
but within you. You yourself
are the creator Of your own
fortune and your own destiny.
HeaIthful, hopeful, optimistic
thoughts are essential to strong
minds and bodies, and to sue
cess. Cultivate these thoughts;
help from within strengthens;
help from without usually en-.
feebles.
Have faith In yourself. Some
one has said that a man may
succeed when others do not be-
Iieve In him, but not when he
does not believe In himself.

Chinese Now Taught English

Vice Consul C. L. L. williams of Che
fu forwards the following report, pre-
pared by A. w. Gilbert of that consulate,
on western learning in the Chinese
province of Shantung:
1t is claimed by some that there are
1000 government and private schools in
the providence of Shantung that teach
western branches of learning, but in the
absence Of official or other reliable sta
tistics this claim can not be verified.
The Chinese, however, are showing un-
usual zeal in acquiring a working
knowledge of English, which is grad
ually becoming the international Ian
guage OF commerce in the empire and
especially In the coast towns. The
province of Shantung contains 96 dis
tricts, in each of whiclr there is at
least one elementary school. while
some districts have more than one. The
intermediary or middle schools in the
province number 13.
There is an imperial provincial col
lege at Chefu, where the French and
Japanese languages hitherto held the
place or nrst Importance. These will in
the future be dropped to second or
10 other higher government institu-
tions in the province devoted especially
TO western learning. In these schools
l,5o0 students are enrolled, SO Chinese
teachers are. employed and nine jap
anese, four American and two German
teachers.
In Chefu there are four private
schools for boys and two for girls
