PRATT BEATS
COUNCIL At
own GAME
HOT SESSION DUE TONIGHT,
WHEN COUNCIL WILL BE
ASKED TO EAT CROW

A warm session of the city coun-
Gil is looked for tonight. The wage
scale matter will come up on the
mayors recommendation for an in
crease. The honorable members of
the council who thought that they
would play little politics by ask
ing the mayor to make a recon-
mendation as to the increase have
found that when it comes to play
ing the game he can give them
cards and spades and beat them
out
Pratt, after getting the matter
from the city council, launched a
high cost of living inquiry, etc.,
and dragged the investigation out
for a month, during which he
managed through his press bureau
to receive pages of free advertis-
ing, while the councilmen have got
only kicks and cuffs. The next
time the council wants to play
politics they will know better than
to tackle the mayor, who has an
organization that understands the
game from to 2.
I The council first voted for the
Increase in the committee of the
whole and then lacked the moral
courage to stand by their previous
action when the matter came be-
fore them for final action.
Another issue of the same kind
is coming up tonight when the city
council will be asked to eat crow
in the matter of the police matron.
The council at one meeting order
ed the matron, at the next rescind-
ed the order because the chief of
police kicked and said that he had
not been consulted.

When they have taken their first
step on the downward path they
leave their homes in order to cover
up their disgrace and, telling their
folks they are coming here to work,
seek the protection of this institu-
ton and pour into the ears of the
faithful women the tale of their
doleful experience. In many cases
those who feel that they would
never tell their mothers of their

GOOD CAPTAIN SMITH.
The mission is made as home
like as possible" said Captain
Bertha Smith, because we don't
believe in the old-fashioned idea
of making the girls feel their pun
ishment; the sorrow which is reap
ed from their wrongdoing is enough
for the girls to bear
The mission is managed and di-
rected much as private home
would be. Eeach girl is assigned
certain amount of work to do.
and they are taught to sew. Every
ID days the assignments are
changed, so as not to be partial
with any of the ones who assist
with the housework.
When the girls are i'll they are
given the best medical attention
and a graduate nurse is provided.
They are generally kept at the
home until their babies are at least
three months old, in order that the
little infants may be cared for by
their mothers, and they also feel
that the love and attentions de-
manded by the child will instill in
the mothers stronger faith and
a desire to do right.
At the end of this period of time
the girls seek employment and
leave the babies to the care of the
nurses at the home until they are
a year old. Often the officers find
employment where the mother can
take her child.
About az babies have been
born at the home during the
past year, and at the present
time there are IL babies, being
cared for. Captain Smith took
me to the nursery, where the
infants are kept. In the center
of the room, which was we'll
ventilated and we'll heated,
there stood a row Of baskets
resembling very much the ordi-
nary clothes baskets, and in
each one was tiny baby
wrapped in downy coverings.
Their faces were not bright
and happy as the faces of the
children who are cuddIed and
loved constantly by proud ana
happy parents. Many of the
faces were pretty, but there
was pathetic sweetness about
the expression of the eyes and
the mouth which seemed to tell
of the Swallowed tragedy of an
unhappy life. D
They all knew the matron, whom
they have learned to love as a
mother, and as she entered the
room each one in turn cooed and
laughed as one after the other was
lifted into her arms, and oh. how

Howard, aged So, who is employed
by the city as laborer, fell through
a trap door in the rear of the Tav-

he had become snowblind and did

through it and in so doing reached
out for something on which to catch
himself. He caught the edge of the
open trap door and pulled it shut

for a Rehearing.

Chicago, Ill.-Refusing for a Sec
ond time to issue an injunction pre-
venting the compulsory reduction OF
sleeping car rates, the United States
circuit court ordered that the matter
be taken up before the Interstate
Commerce commission for a rehearlng
and that the schedule Of charges fixed
at that time take effect 80 days after
1t is decided upon.
It was further ordered, however,
that beginning July IL, the sleeping
car companies shall issue coupons
good for the amount of the difference
between the rates now charged and
the reduced rates originally ordered
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion and that when a final schedule
is fixed by the commission, holders o.
upo be reimbursed for the over
charge. July IL is the date originally
set for the reduced rates to go into
effect. 1t was also ordered that all
none collected above the amount al
lowed in this original reduced seized

of $4,000, to insure their obedienc

summer vacation by Dean Walter Will
liams Of the school Of journalism or
the University Of Missouri. Dean VIII
liams, accompanied by his son, Wal

route followed by the old stage

He expects to visit st. Charles, Dan.

points where were the taverns of T

has been mapped, yet no Missourlan

Dean Williams is an advocate of the

see an improved road constructed
upon or near the line of the most IA
nous thoroughfare in the west, a road
in recent years almost entirely aban-

Hunter announced that according to-

flee, there were 8G2 fewer school chill
dren in Montgomery county than in

Nine years ago there we're 5,217,
school children; now there are only
4,335.
1t is hard to account for the loss:
save that there has been a heavy mi
grafton to Oklahoma, Washington and.
Canada, and that children are not
quite to popular, in spite of former
