MEsKs CONTRIBUTION ID THE NEWS 0F THE DAY
HOME BURNED; FAMILY
 IS LEFT DESTITUTE

T. J. Fincher a rancher living in the Gilbert district had the misfor tune to lose home and furniture, as well as a wagon and a number of goats that were tied to them Friday about noon. There is absolutely no clue as to the reason of the fire. Ms. Finch, after getting breakfast, closed up the stove and went out to the pump house and commenced washing. While she was working one of the children gave the alarm and Mrs. Fincher looked up to see the house in flames. She ran into the building to get the baby, and in doing so she was burned about the face and arms; her hair was badly burned also. There was nothing that cC Id be saved as the house burned very quickly and no help was near. The fire caught a wagon and some boards that were lying nea., and also burned some goats that were tied to them. This leaves the family al- most destitute. A petition for help is being circulated throughout the country and is being responded to quite literally.

CONCERNING THE ARREST OF
CHARLES BATES

The Committee of Fifteen, which
was organized for the purpose of
allowing Julius Rosenwald and his
associates the privileges of regulat-
ing the morals of ordinary citizens,
is not interested in the morals of
it's own members.
This information was the gist of
a statement given a reporter for The
Day Book by Samuel P. Thrasher,
superintendent of the committee.
The reporter called on Thrasher
to get some information concerning
Charles Bates, secretary of the COM
mittee, who has just been pinched
for abandoning his wife and two
little children.
Bates is from st. Louis, Mich.
From that town he came to Chicago.
possibly because he heard the
'Great Call" In Chicago he went
to work cleaning up Chicago's
morals.
He plunged right in with the
Committee of Fifteen He was so
moral apparently that he was given
the job of secretary, which in a re-
form organization backed by mil
lionaires is a very valuable job.
And now after a campaign of for
chilly whitewashing the morals of the
poor it is discovered that Bates wife

Worthington was placed in custody
of Oils Tuesday evening, He was un-

taken to the county Jail.
But he did not go to the Jail. At
least not that night. When they had
left the courthouse he turned to Oils.

he said. Lets have some fun to-
night"
John agreed. So they went and had
dinner at the hotel, then to show.
Now we'll go to a hotel, john"
Worthington announced. John
agreed. He was in a very agreeable
mood. So Worthington got two rooms
at the Blackstone Hotel, where they
remained for the night.
The next day Worthington wished
to remain at liberty. But John ap-
parently got cold feet and took him to
