COLONIZE CHICAGO'S POOR
Plan TO Lay Out 1920 Acres Near
Knimnn, in Farms.

Rensselaer, Ind.-Warren Springer,
q Chicago real estate man, who died
recently, was the owner of a large
tract of land near Kniman, in the
northern part of this county He had
long planned to erect large number
of houses there and TO make it port
for the colonization of the industrious
poor of Chicago.
Mr. and Mrs. Springer believed they
could induce the poor people to settle
there and learn to be farmers. Since
her husbands death, Mrs. Springer
announces her intention of carrying
out the plan and says she has sur
rounded herself with number of cul-
tivated people who will help her to
get the colonization plan started.
Among the men who are counted
on to help her is Oscar Lowell Triggs,
formerly professor of English litera-
ture in Chicago University. Frank
Lloyd Wright, a Chicago architect, is
also expected to give aid to Mrs.
Springer and will be asked to plan
the buildings for the farm and to SUI
perintend their erection. The SPRING
er ranch consists of 1920 acres, twelve
miles north of this city.

MEDILL MCCORMICK is HERE
Comes to Help Yeiser in His Boom
for Roosevelt.
SAYS La TOILETTE IS SICK MAN
Editor of the Chicago Tribune Says
the wisconsin Senator Has Not
Recovered from His Re-
cent Indispesition.

/ Medill Mccormick. editor OF the
Chicago. Tribune and general western
manager OF the Roosevelt boom. arrived
in Omaha early yesterday morning to, help
John o. Yeiser swing the Nebraska pri-
maries scheduled for April 10,
His first act after affectionately gree;
ing the champion Roosevelt advocator
was 10 write out statement for the
newspapers excoristing President Taft
for breaking away from the Roosevelt
policies.
He talked awhile on how the Tribune
prophesied the Roosevelt victory In Hi
nois weeks before the primaries, frowned
and mentioned something about federal
patronage. and explained how, after a
few days campaigning in the Ninth dis
trict. where live Secretary Walter Fisher.
Secretary Macveagh. a couple Of ex-sec-
retaries and Fred A. Busse. he and his
corps. backed by the Tribune. had swung
the district into the Roosevelt line.
In Toilette Sick Man.
Mr.. Mccormick believes that Senator
La Toilette is not himself. He explained
that after the senator broke down al
Philadelphia he has been working under
such a mental strain that II even he were
made president he could not perform the
duties required. Other presidential as
plrants. with the exception Of Roosevelt.
he declared, were just as near the grave,
or the position in politics that that sug-
gests.
Mr.. Mccormick personally is very DEM
ocratic. He is a tall man with an ever
ready smile. except on occasions when
the presidents name is mentioned. His
good nature also is fused a bit when
mention is made Of the publicity he re-
ceived not long since over his probable
affihation with the National Harvester
company. He declared that the McCor-
micks have not been connected with that
industry for thirty-five years. and that
the odium of the accusation that he was
connected with It was doubly severe be-
cause he never had collected any Of its
dividends,
Not on Fishers Trail.
In speaking of Ids appearance in Omaha
so shortly after Secretary Fishers visit,
ne denied that ne was on the man trali,
but repeated that he had come to help
out with the primaries.
He did have this much to say about
Secretary Fisher. however:
Last night at Lincoln Secretary Fisher
proclaimed the president progressive
statesman. and by way OF proof OF Mr..
Taft's progresslveness instanced his own
career as a progressive. .....
There was a time when Mr.. Fisher As
a progressive was a sharp critic Of this
.'H
The secretary OF the interior did not
discuss in any great detail the presidents
record Of achievement as a statesman.
And IN these days a man Is judged by
his record and not by his promises or
professions"
