See, self declared apostle of a new
life, in which all beings will be per-
feet, appeared in the municipal court
today to answer to charges of dis
orderly conduct, following police in
vestigation of his apartments and his
absolute life" colony. Two girls, one
19 and the other II years old, who
admitted in court they had for months
been living with See unchaperoned,
also appeared in court under the same
charges.
Mona Rees, the elder of the girls,
was destined, according to the plan
of See, to be the mother of the first
nearly perfect child, she herself be-
ing almost perfect according to- the
cults teachings. The other girl. Mil
dred Bridges, was striving to attain
that state of purity, she declared, that
would place her on a plane with the
Rees girl. Mrs. Felicia Rees, mother
of Mona, also was interested in the
colony and spent much of her time
teaching it's principles. She told the
police she approved her daughter S

and hence sinless. See in court re-
fused services of an attorney, saying
he had the counsel of God and would
purify the court room. The hearing
was postponed until January IL and

TO ANSWER SUMMONS.
Chicago Citizens Will Not Be Arrested
for Misdemeanors.

Chicago, Jan. THE municipal
court judges of Chicago have de-
manded a change in the form of ar
rest for misdemeanor. At a special
meeting they signed an order that in
the future all arrests for minor vio-
lations of city ordinance shall be
made by summons instead of by war
rant. When this police reform is in
augurated, as it will be as soon as the
necessary blanks and books are
printed the humiliation of being ar
rested for some trivial offense will be
removed. 1t means that a majority of
persons who will be arrested in the
city this year will escape the embar-
rassment of a patrol ride.
Automobile speeders who are caught,
instead of being taken to the station
and forced to put I'D an appearance
bond, will be handed summons to
appear in court the next day and al
lowed to go their way.
More than 10000 persons were ar
rested in Chicago last year for mis-
demeanors,' asserted Chief Justice
Harry Olson. IF our ruling had been
in effect in 1910, fully SO. 900 of these
would have escaped being taken to the
police station. when they were ar
rested

Maize, Kan. Jan. 7.-Socially, things

harder still for them to meet any real

But the clever feminine heads have
gotten together and hit upon a plan
which is bringing them all kinds of
fun and what is more to the point,
the acquaintance of plenty of desir-
able young men.

ace of the governor general. Arriving
at the palace, the king stepped down
from the carriage, turning for a mo-
ment again acknowledged the salvos
of applause and then entered the pal
ace. AS the door swung closed behind
him an explosion in the crowd outside
drowned the cheers. Before the alarm

just what had happened, gendarmes had
closed in about the spot from which
the report arose. 1t was found that
two persons had been slightly injured
but no other harm done
An official account of the incident

FIRE LOSS HEAVY.
Total for 1910 Has Been Exceeded IN
But Three Years.

Chicago, Jan 7.-Statistics show that
losses by fire in the United States and
Canada in 1910 amounted to $234, 470, $50,
or over $50 0O0, 900 more than the losses
in 1909. December losses were excep-
tionally heavy, aggregating $21, 528 ,000
There were &c fires during the year
which caused a damage of $500.O00 or
more, and in ten the loss exceeded ST.
OOO, 900 each. In only three preceding
years have the fire losses been heavier
than in 1870 one being the year of the
Chicago fire, the other of the San Fran
cisco fire. Federal and state officers
agree the majority of these losses are
preventable. In spite of the iucreas-
ing losses. it is stated that the aver
age rate of fire insurance shows a
reduction in 1910.
