REV. FRED BENNETT WANTED
IN WHILE SLAVE CASE

IN WHITE SLAVE CASE
The Rev. Fred Bennett of the Olive
Branch Mission, Desplaines and
Monroe streets, suspected of aiding
his brother to escape from the juris-
diction of the city courts and of at
tempted bribery in a white slave case
against his brother, is very badly
wanted by the police.
Benefits brother, Paul, was SEN
fenced to one year in the House of
Correction and a fine of 5000 and
costs for pandering by Judge Hop
kins, in the Morals Court, April 2 last.
Paul Bennett betrayed 17-year-old
Marie BarteIle of Manchester, Mich,
and then turned her out on the
streets to earn money for him by sell
ing her body.
The girl, who does not look sixteen
years old, came here from Manches-
ter three months ago. She was a
telephone girl there. But she and her
chum had felt the usual lure of ''the
big CITY,"
The two girls found "the big city"
rather a bad place Ior TWO homeless
girls with skirts to their knees and
no money.
Marie was caught at the start by
Paul Bennett, whose business it was
to live off the earnings of shame.
He made love to her; she liked
him; he talked of marriage; of a
home of children; she yielded to him;
and he found excuses to put off the
marriage.
Then, when the girl had grown
accustomed to immortality, Bennett
suggested that they live together at
1411 Monroe street, where he had
room. He would marry her as soon
as he could get a little money to-
gether, he promised. So the girl went
to live with him.
Once Bennett had her in his power
he forced her to go on the streets
g. bir, And Ono NIGHT boT cbOrf
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-06-28

nett. Bennett also was arrested, tried,
found guilty and sentenced.
1t was then Benefits pastor broth
er got busy. He hired a negro law
yer, one Blackwell, who made a mo-
ton for new trial, which was grant
ed, and then got Bennett out of the
Bridwell on writ of error without
informing Judge Hopkins.
Once released, Bennett skipped his.
bonds and has not returned. The
girl was paroled to Mr.. and Mrs. Clar-'
ence Clearwater, Rockford, ILL.,, and
is living straight.
It was from the Clearwaters that
the charges that the Rev. Bennett
had attempted bribery came. Clar-,
ence Clearwater has made affidavit
that the minister offered him $50 if
he would get the girl to repudiate
her testimony against Paul Bennett,
given at the trial.
Clearwater refused and took the
matter up with Assistant States At
torney Ernest Langtry, who took the
case to Judge Hopkins. Hopkins
summoned the minister and Paul
Bennett to appear before him yester-
day afternoon and show cause why
they should not be sentenced for
contempt of court.
Neither the Rev. Bennett nor his
evil-living brother showed up. It is
believed that the Rev. Bennett has
left the state; it is know that Paul
has.
Blackwell, the negro attorney, also
is in considerable trouble. He denied
yesterday that he had intended to
deceive the court when he got Paul
Bennett out of the Bridweu without
letting Hopkins know, but his con-
duct will be investigated further.
Grand stands are built on the as
that closely-packed crowd

Grand stands are built on the as
sumption that closely-packed crowd
cannot weigh over 100 pounds per
square foot, but C. J. Tilden has sub
mitted experiments indicating that
too little allowance has been made
for the strain of the weight of motion.
The act of rising to ones feet for In
stance, momentarily increases ones
weight 80 per cent.

THE cHiLDREN's PLAY GROUND

There seems to be two or three
things not very generally understood
about the playground which was erect
ed on the school grounds this summer.
In the first place, it was erected by
the Brookings Fellowship League for
the benefit Of the children of the city.
In the second place, many have
thought that the young ladies who
were in charge each afternoon re-
ceived pay for their work. This is not
true, and too much thanks and credit
cannot be given to these young ladies'.
Miss Strayer Morrow was in charge
of the grounds and deserves a great
share of the credit, but she was ably
helped by Miss Lehner, Miss Hattie
Lanphier, Miss Eva Lanphier, and
Miss Marvin. There were not more
than three days during the entire sum-
mer when n of these five was abb
sent from the grounds, and there they
stayed from 2:30 until $3.50 swinging
the children, telling them stories, play
ing games, or helping them build
houses in the sand. Although a pleas
ure for them to spend their afternoons
in this way, no doubt, yet it meant self
sacrifice on their part to be so regular,
and they may be sure that the children

were not the only one who a~ppreciat-

II there Is anyone who questions
the usefulness Of this apparatus that
person has only to come down to the
grounds some day at recess time, and
see the youngsters come rushing out
of the building and race for the swings,
and until the last bell rings the swings
and teeters are in constant use, while
others like little brownies are clam
bering over every part of the iron
work. The erection of such a play
ground is justifying itself more fully
every day, and Is a constant call to the
people Of Brookings to give more
thought and money towards efforts to
better the condition Of our young folks
by providing the a for Systematic
and healthy recreation.

THE LIBRARY

Now that Miss Enos has returned
from her vacation, arrangements have
been made to double the hours Of open
ing. Beginning with Monday, Sept.
80, the library will be open as follows,
except as other uses of the audience
room, allowed by the council, may in
terfere: Monday, 3-6, 7-9; Tuesday,
3-6, 10; Wednesday, 3-6, 10;
Thursday, 3-6, 10; Saturday, 2-6,
10.
At present no arrangement is made
for opening the library on Sunday. II
1t is desired to have the library open
on that day, the trustees would be
glad to receive expression of that
wish.
Miss Enos has also just cataloged
and shelved a large number Of new
books. Only a few Of them can be
mentioned here. Among them are the
most beautiful and expensive books
the library has thus far acquired,
Tissot's Life Of Christ. This contains
reproductions in color Of hundreds of
the marvellous paintings he spent a
lifetime in Palestine to paint true to
scene and life. The originals are
among the precious possessions of the
Brooklyn Institute.
There are a good many books for
children. Some others, perhaps most
largely read by young people, but
equally fascinating to older people
who care for something besides a
story. are Engineering of Today, Medi-
cal Science of Today, Mechanical In
ventions of Today.
These are authoritatively written
and abundantly illustrated.
Among the novels are The Inside of
the Cup, V. VS. Eyes and Jim Davis.
