NO FAITH IN BANKS.
Robbers Relieved Doubling Chicago
Man of His Savings.

Chicago, Nov. Having no faith in
banks, Peter Massion of 1851 Orchard
street, carried his savings in a wallet
snugly tucked in an inside pocket of
his vest. He had been laying aside So
a week out of his wages as a street car
employe and in five years succeeded il
getting together about $500.
AT O'Clock Sunday morning while
Massion was on his way home from
work, he was stopped by three robbers
at Garfield and Orchard streets. One
of the men held a revolver to the vic
TINS head while the other tore open his
coat and vest and relieved him of the
fat wallet. 1t held exactly $797

the robbers made no effort to search
him further after getting the large
amount. He went to the Halstead

PROSPERITY IS HERE.
General Car Shortage Is Expected to
Quickly Develop.

Washington, Nov. Prosperity has
arrived, according to a statement is
sued today by the bureau of statistics
of the department of commerce and Ia
bor
During September the business of the
country and the movement of the rail-
way freight cars reached proportions
which excelled those of the same
months last year. In fact, the bu1letin
declares, while the number of idle cars
at the end of last month had not alto
gether disappeared, there were indica-
lions that a car SHORTAGE would quick
ly develop.
These improved conditions are most
pronounced in the coal and iron trades
The movement of lumber also was
somewhat heavier.
There was a considerable slump in
the receipts of grain and flour at the
four leading seaports and the receipts
Of grain at fifteen of the principal in :

aggregate for September, 1908.
A similar condition is uncovered n
the shipment of packing house products
from Chicago, the slump being on can
ned meats, which show a relative loss
over the corresponding figures of 1908
of approximately 45 per cent.
The report shows that the September
total of cars loaded was 2,993,033, or al
most 10 per cent in excess of the CORE

SOUTHERNER IS NAUGHTY
Bishop Chandler Would Refuse Rookie
felIer's ssHook Worm Gift.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 1.-Regarding the
$1,0O0,000 gift of John d. Rockefeller for
the investigation and cure of the s'hook
worm" disease, Bishop Warren Chand-
Ter of the Southern Methodist church
said yesterday:
For some reason self-appointed
philanthropists have taken it upon
themselves to discover and proclaim
conditions in the south calculated to
create further prejudice against the
states and people of the south as to
resident population.
"A great deal of exertion has been
required in the past to establish the
fals1ty of the many slanderous charges
made against the south, and this Sec
t1on has not yet recovered fully from
them. Recently an cutlery was made
that the southern people had become
the victims of a deadly disease known
as 'pelagra,' which was charged to the
use Of Indian corn. The disease has
been traced to southern Europe, where
goes to show that it was imported in
the persons of immigrants.
But the pellagra panic having failed
of the expected result, now comes a
howl about the hook worm. The south
is represented to be filled with a
wretched brood of dirteaters Who
that knows the south can for a moment
believe this?
1T Is time the southern people had
begun resenting this officious DISPOSE
ton to take care of them which certain
parties are addicted to. Donations may
easily, as dum-dum bullets, wound
where they hit and leave a mortal
poison in the hole they make after be-
ing received

mayor respectively rested last night
and will put the finishing touches on
their campaign today w. r. Hearst
closed his campaign at Madison
Square garden where he was cheered
for thirty-two minueS. The cheering
broke with roar as Hearst entered
the hall. Women threw their shawls
from the balconies, men tossed their
hats and every inch of bunting in the
hall was af1utter. In the period be-
fore Hearst's arrival Mines. Rita For
ami and Olive Fremstadt of the Met
ropolitan opera company sang operat-
tic selections.
Hearst summed up the issues on
which he has made his campaign.
Madison Square garden was damned
to it's capacity and a great crowd
get in. There were many women in
the audience. Fireworks outside and
the playing of a band inside added to
the apparent enthusiasm.
Minor Democratic and Republican
meetings were held throughout the
city.
Herbert Parson, chairman of the
Republican county committee issued
his formal forecast of the election. He
estimates the vote for Barnard at
100000; Gaynor $4,000 and Hearst
third with 100000. The leaders of
