And we sweltered in the heat,

SOME SIZZLING SHOTS FIRED AT FRIDAYS
SESSION OF COUNTY BOARD

OAOA)4 - ~
Yesterdays session of the County
Board began by Commissioner Peter
Bartzen politely inqufring of Presi-
dent Mccormick if he had not for
gotten his powder puff
It ended with William H. Dunn,
former clerk of the Superior Court,
assailing Mccormick as a tool of the
charity trust that exploits the poor of
Chicago.
But during the meeting many
things transpired. All of McCormick's
committee appointments we're re-
scinded; the board passed a resolu-
ton apologizing for McCormick's in
suit to Judge Kersten the other day
and another resolution was passed
denouncing Hearst and his yellow
journalism.
Dunn first sent a letter to McCOr-
mick which was not read until Com
missioner Frank Ragen made de-
mand for it. The letter in part said:
GA. A. Mccormick, president of the
County Board, recently advised tax
payers to come to the board rooms
and make their wants known and adj
wise with your board, and if they did
so the needed reforms would be OBJ

to bring an axe if they expected him
to grant them hearing): there

viously falsified their records to OBJ
tain funds Illegally from Cook county.

time by your honorable board was

very beginning of my address, char

prove my charges. Although ques-
tioning his sincerity in open meeting
1 complied to his request by letter to
him and the County Board, but was
not even extended the common cour-
tesy of an answer.
Nov, l therefore, as a citizen of
the state of Illinois and taxpayer of
Cook county, and not an alien, re-
quest your honorable board to answer
for president of the County Board
the following questions:
First, Under what authority of
law under the present administration
was $1,000 of the taxpayers money
appropriated to be distributed
through department specially Great
ed for a favored few women selected
in violation of all civil service rules
by the county judge and paid upon his
personal o. K.
Second, why, after 13 years of the
operation of the law creating county
visitors, did the present administra-
ton see it's way clear to appropriate
thousands of dollars to the above
board, who created a department for
the first time in thirteen years to
spend some of the county's surplus
money, and, after employing out of
above fund alien help, turning over
all information gathered, reports, and
papers to a home finding society, of
which was supposed to be investi-
gated, leaving the county in the same
position as it was before the money
was appropriated? .s
Third, why, when a former board.
one which had been strongly criticiz-
ed in his famous address, only had
appropriated $4,000 per year to
seven industrial schools, $180,00d
under the present board was appro-
priated to sixteen industrial schools
and $275,000 was paid out, making
$4,000 in excess of the appropria-
ton, and is it true that if President

Prom the New Yorf Times
The campaign to clean out the rubbish
from tenements has attracted attention
ed by the important cities of Europe.
In no European town, perhaps. are the
methods more interesting than in the
thriving German city of Hamburg,
keep the city beautiful. Writing from
that place, United States Consul Robert
P. Skinner says that the Mayor of one
of the large cities of Ohio, who visited
Hamburg, was much impressed with the
important part performed by the chill
dren's keeping the city clean. He de-
parted from the city, Mr.. Skinner says,
convinced that the cleaning Of streets
and sidewalks in Germany was much
lighter task than in cities Of the same
size in the United States, because of the
orderly habits of the people themselves.
Suction street-sweeping devices" con-
tinues Mr.. Skinner, ARE practically IN
known in Germany. Hamburg itself
owns horse-drawn sweepers only, al
though for about nine months two cleo
trio motor sweepers have been in use
These, however, do not yet belong to
the city, and are being employed ex-
perimentally. They have not given sat
isfaction, and have been under repair
more than three months. These motor
driven sweepers fail to work well in
this city, because the pavements, as a
rule. are not very smooth, and the
mechanism Of the sweepers is deranged
by the shaking it receives Recently the
front wheels of these sweepers have been
provided with rubber tires. and they
have worked more satisfactorily.

Peace Statue casted.
Five years ago Chile and, Argentina
were on the verge Of war. They were
increasing their ornaments rapidly.
Each had two warships of the latest
pattern building in the shipyards of
Europe. They were spending large
sums Of money upon these preparations
for war, Amounting to more than i've
dollars annually for each person OF
their population.
Then through the suggestion Of Bish-
op Benavente, peaceable settlement
was arranged and q colossal statue Of
Christ was erected on the boundary at
Puente del Inca. As early as 1901, the
task Of securing funds and having a
statue erected was started. The work
was intrusted to a young Argentine
sculptor, Mateo Alfonso. When his de-
sign was completed and accepted, the
statue was cast at the arsenal of Buen-
os Ayres from old cannon taken from
the ancient fortress outside of the city.
It was not till February, 1904, that
the final steps were taken for Its cree
ton. 1t was carried by rail in huge
crates from Buenos Ayres to Mendoza,

the Chileans on the Argentine side.
Amid music and the booming of guns

then dedicated to the whole world as
a practical lesson of peace and good
will.
