T. MUSICAL LIBRARY
AS CHECK TO RAGTIME
Chicago Official Would Elevate Tastes of Children BY Circllat-
ING Best OF COMPOSITIONS OF All kinds-WouId Guilt
vate an Appreciat ion of Aesthetic.

Chicago. Sept. 2.-Plans to check the
torrent Of ragtime songs, and worse,
that pours into the homes of Chi
cagoans. were outlined today by Henry
E. Legler, librarian of the Chicago pub
lie library. The plan is the establish
ment of a circulating library Of music,
n character of which is above re-
proach, this to be conducted as a de-
partnent of the public library. The
idea received the Endorsement of DIR.
Max Henius, vice president of the IL
brary board. They praised the plan
and We're positive that the circulation
of good music by the library would
effect an inestimable inroad upon the
present demand for suggestive music.
Mr.. Legler pointed out that the liz
brary already circulates the scores and
words of approximately IS opearas-
practically every opera that has been
produced in Chicago during the reg
ular seasons at the Auditorium thea
ter. The library, Mr.. Legler said, had
six copies of each of these operas. He
added:
There is no reason to doubt the
beneficial effect that the circulationfof
good music by the public library would
have upon Chicago. A child cannot
acquire a taste for what he does not
see or have. The suggestive song is
cheap. People buy it because they can

IN AEROPLAME HE
DOES SOMERSAULT

Juvisy, France, Sept. "A French
aviator named Pegoud today "looped
the loop" while flying at a height of
1,500 feet in his aeroplane. He after
ward descended without injury.
Pegoud recently caused a sensation
by dropping safely from an %aeroplane
with a parachute. He announced be-
fore leaving h ground today that he
intended to turn a somersault in the
air with his aeroplane, and his move
ments were followed closely by a large
BODY OF observers.
When he reached a height of about
5000 feet he urned the nose of his
machine straight toward the earth and
darted downward with his motor
working at full power. After plunging
about 100 feet with frightful velocity
he changed the position of his rudder
and caused the aeroplane to turn a
complete vertical circle. The machine
then glided down in a huge spiral vol
plane and alighted gently on the
ground. Pegound will repeat the feat
tomorrow in h presence of a COM
mittee of military officers.

not afford in many instances, the bet,
ter class of music. Consequently, this
dangerous music finds its way into the
ome People everywhere near it ana
naturally their tastes go that way.
That would not be true of children,
and also older persons could get good
music Just as they now get good books
from the library.
The effect Of the library has been
proved. so far as reading has been
concerned. Fake the children's books
for instance. There was a great flood
of cheap. terrible literature, so-called,
at n time. Children read it because
1T was easily obtained. This class OF
reading has been almost wiped ont by
the public library. Through its many
branches and stations the library has
been able to keep children supplied
with the right kind of reading and the
proper class of educational works.
This has caused a change in the tastes
of these children. They would not be
satisfied now with the cheap trash.
SO it would be, without a doubt,
with music, if the library could cir
culate the right kind of music for chill,
dren to play on their pianos and other
instruments. While / am not so opti-
mlstlc as to say that the scheme would
exterminate suggestive songs, I do be-
!leve that it would go a great distance
In that direction"

H. stld Mr.. Kellogg, citizens of

POLICE BATTLE RIOTERS
IN STREETS OF DUBLIN

Dublin, Sept. 2.-The fierce rioting
in connection with the tramway strike
was renewed Sunday. On Saturday
60 or more persons were injured.
All the hospitals are so crowded that
many serious cases had to be sent to
their homes for treatment. The strike
committee, in the interest of peace,
had rescinded early in the morning the
proposed mass meeting in O'Connell
street, and had substituted instead a
parade from Beresford place to Croy-
don park, at Fairview, a suburb on
the north side of the city. The author
tiles meanwhile had prohibited the
mass meeting.
Croydon park belongs to the Trans
port Workers union and a meeting
was held there without disorder. But
on the return march attempts Of the
police by baton charges to dispense
the constantly growing crowds led at
once to rioting. The mob was incensed
by the arrest of one of the strike
leaders. James Larkin, against whom
a warrant had been out for twenty
four hours.
The rioting became general in various
parts Of the city. The police charged
repeatedly with their sticks and this
led to a pitched battle. Stones, brick
bats and bottles We're hurled by the
Infatuated rioters and the streets soon
were covered with PROSTATE forms.
More han 90 arrests were made.

out details of a treatment by which he
has cured a patient at the city hos
nosed as rabies. When the patient,
James Raardsley, aged 81, entered the
hospital he was on the verge of con-
vulsions that mark the final stage of
the disease. DR.. Harris gave him a
modification of a quinine treatment
that a Chicago physician had used in
treating dogs afflicted with rabies.
Fifteen grains OF %quinine were injected
under B~earGsiey skin, favorable symp-
toms followed and another injection
was given. Since then the patient has
been given two injections of quinine a
day. Dr.. Harris believes that the
quinine tends to throw off the germ
organisms in the body.

London, Sept. Both the unionist
and liberal parties in England are try
ing~to make political capital out of h
riots in Dublin. Latest reports say
that 800 civilians and As policemen
were seriously hurt and required hos
pital treatment. One of the civilians
has succumbed to his injuries. 1t was
argued on both sides that Irish pas
sions have been stirred by the home
rule campaign and this has been re-
sponsible for the lawlessness in Dublin
and also for the recent disturbances
in londonderry. The unionist news
papers warn the government that the
home rule bill has aroused antagontsm
and lawlessness throughout Ireland.
The liberal newspapers blame the rev.
dictionary preparations in Ulster made
by Sir Edward Carson, leader Of the
Irish unionist party.

independent labor member Of parlia-
ment. left today for Dublin to partici-i

PRESIDENT RENEWS
|NSISTENT POLICY
Wilson Again Urges Senate to
Pass Pending Currency
Measure.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2.-Presi-
lent Wilson has renewed insistent rep
RESERVATIONS to Senate democratic lead
ers that there must be currency legis-
lation at the special session. He is I'M
yielding on this point. The president
takes the position that now is the
psychological ONE to get currency
legislation through. He holds that if it
is allowed to go over until the regular
session the opposition is likely to find
ways of preventing anything being
done. Moreover, he wants currency
legislation as a medium of relief if the
tariff bill tends to cause any depres-
sion.
AS a result of the renewed urging
of the president, Senate leaders will
make the hardest fight they know how
to get a currency bill passed.

the Mexican situation is absolutely at

n nothing has come today from Mr..
Lind, who remains in Vera Cruz. I

Senator Bacon said the suggestion by
Mr.. Lind to Senior Gamboa, that the
administration here would use its good
offices with American bankers to en-
courage loans to Mexico was in no
sense an offer by this government to
guarantee any loans.
Mr.. Lind meant simply that if the
American proposals for peace were ac-
cepted," said Senator Bacon, that this
government would regard conditions in
Mexico so hopeful that business could
be safely carried on and to that ex-
tent would be glad to encourage bank
ers who might make loans to the pro-
visional government"
Americans who did not wish to heed
the advice of President Wilson to leave
the country would be protected in
ever possible way by this country, Mr..
