Bring Family From Hungary.
Dashing In front of an east-bound
Fort-st. car, for which he evidently had
been waiting on the city hall steps,
Anton Jung. No. 436 Monroe-ave., was
run down and instantly killed in sight
of hundreds OF pedestrians, about 6:4S
o'clock. Saturday night. MotoIman
Herman Miller, No. 257 Harrington
ave, stopped his car as quickly as pos
sible. but Jung had been dragged un.
der the fender and his head crushed
under one of the front wheels. 1t was
necessary to use jacks to release the
body and traffic on the line was tied
up for about half an hour. Thousands
viewed the body as 1t lay under the
wheels. but most of the spectators
turned away after one look.
The mans Identification was estab'
lished by a pathetic letter from his
wife, from a town in Hungary, express
ing the hope that he would be able
to send for her and the children. Jung
had been. in this country but a few
weeks. The body was carried into the
city hall and was later removed TO the
county morgue on the order of Coroner

cident.

HAS FAITH IN TAFT.
Rev. John w. Hin Says President viii
Correct Evils.

An ardent admirer OF President
William Howard Taft Is the Rev. John
Wesley Hill, pastor of the Metropol-
itan Tabernacle OF New York, a great
institutional church. He is here for
series OF sermons in the North
Woodward church, his topic Monday
evening being THE Man With
Brains"
Discussing politics, DIR. Hill declared
that Theodore Roosevelt was the
crusader who awakened the country
to the evils to be combatted while
Taft Ia the reformer who will correct
these evils. "A man without a tainI
OF q scar in his character or public
career" is the way that DR.. Hill de-
scribes Taft. He describes him fur
ther as a man OF inexhaustible pa
tlence, one who cannot be hurried, but
whose brain is ever busy Analysing
conditions and considering remedies.
On Taft's recent tour, DR.. Hill ac-
companied him as a friend The New
York clergyman is a believer in the
participation OF churchmen in politics.
He considers America the greatest
mission ground in the world for re-
lieious work and calls attention to the
absurdity of look down upon and
avoiding the Asiatic in America and
sending missionaries abroad to love
and save him.

'QUACK CAUSES
WOMAN'S DEATH
Treats" Mrs. Sofas for Paralysis by
Burning Feet With Blazing Al
cohol-ProsecutiOn Probable.

Treated for paralysis by Anton Herk.
janitor OF the Hungarian church In the
Eighteenth ward. Mrs. Paul Sofas, "a
years old, OF No. 10 Bacon-st., was
fnghtfully burned by blazing alcohol,
and died, Saturday night, in Solvay
hospital.
Coroner Bennett will have a confer
ence with Prosecutor Van Zile during
the day and expresses the opinion that
q manslaughter warrant will be issued
against the ianitor.
Many of the Hungarians are easy
prey for witch doctors, and other
qliacks who offer TO cure all ills by
strange methods, or by charms and
tallsmans.
Mrs. Sofas lost the use OF her lower
limbs a year ago, from paralysis, and
the church ianitor assured her that
he could cure her. as he had cured
many such cases In the old country.
While her husband and a number OF
the boarders In the house looked on,
awe-stricken, the self-styled medicine
man first tried to steam the feet and
legs OF his patient in boiling hot water.
Her screams OF pain aroused the In
dignation OF the husband and the
boarders. but the janitor waved them
aside He then poured alcohol into
the water, Ito cool it." Next he heat
ed an iron until It was red hot, and
attempted to put that into the tub OF
course the alcohol became ignited,
and Mrs. Sofas, helplessly crippled
was terribly burned before some OF the
boarders managed to pick her up and
lift her from the tub.
The doctor" left hurriedly, and has
not been seen since by the indignant
Hungarians. who told Coroner Bennett
that he would be roughly handled II
he appeared. They tried to ease the
woman's sufferings, but she grew
steadily worse. and on Saturday, was
sent to the hospital in a dying condi-
ton. She was dead within a few
hours
1T looks TO me like clear case OF
manslaughter," says Coroner Bennett.
81 don't suppose that that quack doc
tor meant TO harm the woman. but
such practices have got to be stopped"

TREVOR DISCUSSES
CHARTER CHANGES
Favos Increasing Board of Assess
OTIS To Five Members and Would
Have COnstables Appointed.

Chairman Walter Trevor, OF the
council committee on cnarter and city
legislation, says he believes his com
mittee can finish work on the more
important of the proposed charter
amendments this month, so that a spe-
cial charter election can be held in
June. Some OF the proposals may go
over for "a time, being submitted at a
later election. That for municipal
ownership OF street railways will be
among the first grist of amendments.
in all probability.
Il do not think we need bother at
this time with the proposition OF
changing the police, parks and public
works departments into three. four or
five-men boards" says Trevor. That
change could not be made, anyway,
until 1913, when the terms of the pres
ent commissioners expire. AS one
member Of the committee, l do not
favor separating city and general cleo
tons. That is for the whole commit
tee to decide, however do not think
we want too many elections.
! ing the board OF assessors to five
members looks reasonable. Detroit
has grown SO fast that the board can
well be increased. The amendment
should be a simple one, giving tho
council the fixing Of details as to the
division OF the city into districts"
II has been suggested that there be
! five districts, and a counter-suggestiou
has been that there be four, and that
the fifth assessor have charge OF the
Office and look after personal property
matters particularly. Trevor believes
! in having this detail settled by the
council. At the present time, all three
assessors are usually out in the field,
so that property-owners coming in for
information must depend upon clerk.
| Aid. Trevor is inclined to think well
OF an amendment which would make
the Office OF constable appointive in
stead of elective.
1.-The constables are given to doing
as they please now" he says. They
would work harder II the power of ap-
pointment and removal lay with the
council"
It is contended that not five per
cent of the voters know anything
about the constables.
Frank d. Andrus, chairman OF the
special committee Of the estimators.
which has the preparation of charter
amendments affecting that body In
charge, has called meeting of his
committee for Monday night, and II
is expected that one or more amend
ments will be reported out to the
council.

WHITE WINGS BUSY MEN.
Annual Report Shows Great Amour
Of Labor Performed.

OF LABOR PcTToTmcu.
That the white-garbed street clean
ers, commonly called white wings, are
busy lot. is shown by the annual
report Of Supt. Leopold Tobianski.
This shows that the white wings took
care OF 1,138,66S square yards OF
street surface during the year ending
June 80 last, this being an increase
OF 91,451 square yards OF surface dur
ing the year. There we're 4,234 loads
OF street refuse taken up by the clean
erg In this division and the total cost
was $46,9S2.24, of which $37,S68.71
went for wages TO the white wings
and the remainder for superintend'
ence, teaming, etc.
That the white wing job Is not only
laborious but not particularly remun-
erative is shown by the fact that the
average yearly earnings, aside from
snow cleaning which comes from a
separate fund. were only $447 per man.
Tobianski is I'm favor OF having the pay
increased from S1.75 to 81 per day.
The greatest number of men employed
at one time in this work was los and
the average number "a. They swept

psvements at a cost of IL cents per
square yard per. year and the refuse
cost $1.65 per wagon load for haulage.
New equipment is needed Tor his
force TobiaEsh says, most or the
present carts and shovels being 10
years old and beyond economical re-
pair. The superintendent wants the
city to provide him with light run
about instead OF a horse, because OF
the extent of his field. He instances
the fact that his men have to furnish
and keep clean their white suits as
reason why they should receive high
er pay than other city laborers.

The city court drew a big crowd this
morning and disposed of 13 cases-all
for minor offenses, mostly disorderly
or drunk and IS and costs the assess
ment. The first case called was that of
f. c. Mcleod VS.. Swartz. of the Ocala
House bar. The trouble arose over po-
litical discussion. Mcleod accused
Swartz of calling him vile name and
Nc. struck him. Mel. put up So
which he estreated, and Swartz was
fined 81. Claude Haycraft was up for
exceeding the speed limit. He and Roy
Galloway took some girls joy riding
one moonlight night and in the full
ness of their exuberance threw the
throttle too wide open, according to
the word of the city marshal. Claud
denied the soft Impeachment of eX-
ceeding the speed limit, but the mayor
with judicial mien. simply said $40.
The most interesting case was that of
July Brown, accused of being drunk
and resisting an officer. He was ably
defended by w. X. Zewadski. who
argued that in this case July
had not violated the ordinance. He was
not disorderly. because a man can be
drunk and not violate the ordinance.
A man must be a nuisance when drunk.
Be boisterous, use bad language. etc,
none of which July did. Capt. Bull,
whom July asked for his bond and Of
ficer Chambers refused, said July was
under the influence of liquor. but did
not say he was drunk, but the mayor
interpreted the act literally. drunk and
assessed July S. The others said
were for minor offenses, but the whole
conveyed into the city Golfers a neat
sum.
