TO DRIVE SALOONS
FROM CHICAGO

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Four thousand
petition circulators have been or
ganized secretly In a new campaign
TO drive saloons from Chicago. The
first sheets OF the petition were re-
turned 10 headquarters yesterday,
News OF this move became known last
night.
It was decided upon at meeting of
tile local option committee OF the
Anti-Saloon league, having In hand
the project to bring the proposition
before voters Of the city at the spring
election April 4, next.
Superintendent James X Shields,
OF the Anti.Saloon league made the
claim last night that the "drys would
control both branches of the legisla-
ture In the session OF the general as
scmbly beginning next January. He
based his claims upon a tabulation Of
the lawmakers elect classified ac-
cording To their pledges upon two
possibilities OF legislation-county

AN UNUSUAL
CASE OF FORGERY

Charged with forging Santa Fe
superintendent name by telegraph,
c. F. Mullen, a Southern Pacific oper-
ator at Lucln. has been placed under
arrest By Detective T. O'Leary and
Will be taken TO Trinidad, Colo, to
face trial for his unusual crime.
Mullen was a former employe OF
the Santa Fe railroad and, II is al
legged, that, in order TO secure trans
portation from Trinidad TO Salt Lake
City. he sent message over the wire
10 the general offices, asking that a
pass be sent to himself This tele-
gram was ostensibly sent by the sup
erintendent OF the division on which
he was working. In compliance with
the message, transportation was sent
TO Mullen and he resigned his posi-
tlon and left Trinidad
This offense Is supposed to have
taken place In September and 1t WAS
not until several weeks later that "
was learned by the railroad officials
that the telegram was a fake.
II is said that Mullen will be prose
cuted Just as vigorously for his Of
fensc as though the forgery had been
committed in the usual manner and
for the purpose Of obtaining money
instead Of transportation.

A SONNET BY
MISS MALONE

Among the many beautiful thoughts
suggested TO st. Josephs Pensioners
during the week of the mission. per
haps mono has found more fltting ex-
preston than the following sonnet
by Miss Genevieve Malone Of Sacred
Heart Academy;
Beneath the Mission Cross.
'Tis dusk: the golden glimmering
light OF day
Through shadows Is fast fading from
mans slight.
The church is dark, but for the flick
ering light
That feebly radiateS its crimson ray
And brightens as t'would silent hon.
age pay
The shroud and cross that fervent
love invite.
Its soft glow fingers through the
dreary night
And CLEANS as bright through morn
ing mists all gray.
Shall we in coldness cruelty again
That loving God and deeper pierce
the heart
That burns TO save from sin each err
ing one?
Or, in repentance, Magdollne-lile re-
Temptations grasplns arms and love
impart
Unto that cross whence God will say
We'll done?"
