POLICE SEARCHING
 FOR SECRET TUNNEL
Raids in Chinatown Section Feature War on Vice
 District

Chicago, July 24.-Raids in the China town section of the levee district and search for a secret tunnel used by law breakers We're developmnts today in the war on the old segregated district.
 Back of all of the moves of the police and city officials was desire to learn more of the causes which eliminated in the death of Stanley I. Birns, city de- tective, Thursday night of last week when detectives of the squad of the police inspector of morals exchanged shots with detectives on the regular city police force.
 Rocco vanille, accused of participating in the shooting and alleged to be New York gunman intrusted with mission to kill ". c. Dannemberg, morals in- spector, was not taken today before the grand pury. He. is still in a hospital suffering from a wounded foot.
 Charges of inefficiency~and neglect of duty against Michael Ryan, police cap- tain, and James J. McMahon, Michael Morrisey and James B. Altman, lieuten- ants of the Twenty-second street police district until this week, will be filed to- morrow with the city service commission by Chief of Police Gleason. Hearings will be given them within a week, it was announced by the commission
 Stories of the alleged neglect of duty and ineffciencv were told to the com mission by plain clothes men who worked Lrder the officials and who have re- ceived the brunt of the criticism aimed at the failure of the police to stamp out ccmmercialized vice. It was stated that charges will be filed against nearly every patrolman in the district.
 Failure to enforce the 1 o'clock closing ordinance will be the chief point of prose- cGton.

Woman Pulls Hogs Teeth

From the New York World.
 Argenta, Me.-At widow living in East Pittston having purchased fine pig a few weeks ago and later seeing another fine specimen, decided to have two of her own to occupy the same sty.
 The latest purchase was two months younger than the other porker, and when put in the pen seemed to cause the elder much annoyance. The latter seemed bent upon the destruction of the latest arrival. Everything avafaofe was done. and still the warfare continued
 What should the owner do? What could she do? Armed with pair of plyers she proceeded to the sty and extracted the teeth that had lacerated the younger pig so badly. Since then peace reigns and both the pigs are progressing finely

KINGS ATTEMPT TO
 COMPROMISE HOME
 RULE BILL A FAILURE
,ContInued From Page One,

movement we're unanimous tonight in indorsing the uncompromising attitude of Sir Edward Carson and Capt James Craig in demanding the total and per manent exclusion of Ulster from the workings of the home rule bill.
 Business Suffers
 The business community is suffering severly through stagnation In trade and tight money. There Is an unwilling ness to order new stocks of goods with the fear of civil war hanging over head. The Ulster provisional government awaits orders from Sir Edward and Captain Craig who still are in London. 1t is believed here the next step will be a general mobilization of the volun- teer force. as kind of armed demon strationn which may impress thee gov ernment If tie government still is un- yielding il appears certain, according to declarations by prominent Ulster men, that provisional government will be set up before the home rule bill Is passed.
 The radical minority has desired to seize the postoffiee and customs house and conduct kind of armed re- public under martial law. but the con- servative element in Ulster has over ruled them. Belfast probably will be polced by volunteers drawn from four local regiments, who Will De knoNh as the town guard" The same regiments also will furnish quota of 10000 men, fully armed, for the second line fight | ing force.
 so-called special service corps con sisting of about 10000 men, most of them old soldiers. to be offieered by former regulars and having full trans port and machine gun sections will comprise the first line of a flying column" The force will be ready to rush to any quarter of Ulster where the nationalists defy the provisional govern ment by rioting and reinforce local citi- zen troops. It is understood the police in Belfast probably will be with drawn if a provisional government is set up, thus leaving everything In the 1 hands of the volunteers.

Dat Mule

From the Chicago News.
 Down in Janesyille. where l used to live" relates Dr. Washburn Yount, there was an old eolored man who owned a mule. He had more respect for that mule than for any man, white or black. Billy claimed that the animal could do any thing but talk and that he didn't talk because he understood the superior wis dom of keeping still
 Well. one day that mule was lost. strayed or stolen. Uncle Billy nearly had a fit He searched diligently all day long and at the end of the day he was about ready to lie down and die. A friend tried to help him.
 Uncle Billy. he said. why don't you advertise for that mule2
 'Whyn't An what?'
 Advertise Put a piece in the paper saying that he's lost. That will bring him back if anything will
 Uncle Billy laughed for the first time that day.
 "'Whte man. he said. between chuekles, dat mule CT a powahful smahi animile, lie suah ~are-but, Lawd bless you, he can't read de newspapahs.'

OUR ABUSED FEET
 DEMAND ATTENTION

There has been discussion since the ar rival of humankind on the plane of req son as to the whereabouts of the soul in the body. says the Chicago Daily News.
 Some have placed It Tn the stomach, others in the bowels, in the breast or in the brain.
 Knowing nothing whatever about the subject, l feel eminently qualified 10 ad- vance theory of my own inventing. to- wit that thes place Of the soul is in the feet.
 When am sick of fever. which hap pens often 10 me, for my sins, taere IS nothing that brings peace to my spirit like having my feet rubbed. Il seems as If the nurse can reach aud calm that vital spark of heavenly flame most directly through my feet
 And if it should heral me after life to be sent Into the regions of the lost. and if there be the hideous and heated place of Orcagna's s visions, I nope mat some piteoas peri not vet iong enough i'll holiness to have lost all compassion iwith suffering even among the danned, who deserves it5-f do hope. 1 say, that some apprentice and half human angel will slip down and rub my feet.
 There have been many railing accu- sations brought against civilization, but may they not all be summed and typified in the prevalent custom of abusing feetss We enclose them in leather, airtight coverings. and may this not be why our souls are so hidehround? When We wish to be particularly civil We paint this leather with an impervious polish that the 10 poor prisoners in the two black holes of Calcutta may be eNqmsitely pun ished.
 When I think of the abuse heaped upon our feet, how the toes are misshapened by irritational compression. how the arches are broken by high heels, and how eorrs, bunions and abrassions affiet alike the darling of fashion in her too narrow | boots and the laborer in his hard hro- gans and how humanity climbs on ut terly without initiative to break the bonds | of habit. | do not wonder at the other | things they do

 Now" said the judge. suppose you and l were turned into horse and an ass which would you prefer to be?"
 "The ass. to he sure,' replied the lawyer.

esThnnder Bird No Myth

From the New 1ofk llllieS
 Color was given to a weird old Indian legend of the thunder bird by the re- cent discovery on the topmost edge of the timber line of the mountains of Glacier Park Mont. of q rare specimen of the willow ptarmigan bird frozen to death at a solitary height. The 'thunder hirdt' legend has long been regarded as gospel by the Blaekfeet Indians of Glacier Park reservation, but white men have always smiled at 1t skkptically. Since the dis covery of the strange bird frozen to death the Indians have been lamenting the fact as an i'll omen.
 Here is the story of the thunder bird
 translated literally. as old Chief Three
 Bears of the Blackfeet Indians faithfully repeats it to this day:

 St. Petersburg. July 25.-At today s council of ministers, Sergius Sazonoff reviewed the Servian crisis. War Min ister Soukhomlinoff explained the condition of the Russian army and the other ministers spoke on the internal situation and labor troubles.
 It was decided that the internal sit nation was not weighty enough to war rant Servia to her fate. Russia, it was stated. was in far better military con dition than she was in 1902, prior to the Japanese war.
 It was the general opinion of the ministers that a nation with flourishing finances and such an army could nor afford to permit the humiliation of a friendly state and that Austrias &C., ton could only be regarded as a chal. lenge to Russia. To this latter opinion M. Sazanoff declared there could be but one answer. It was the opinion o1 the ministers that should Bulgaria ven- ture to assist Austria, she would be at- tackled by Roumania.

Villas message was sent in response to the personal appeal of the Washington government. Officials felt. after the receipt of Vil las message, that even if political dis sension did arise such friction would not be permitted by Villa to develop to the point of counter revolution. A message was received today from Charge Clausse of the French embas- sy who informed Secretary Bryan that an investigation, by agents, of the French government, completely exoner- atcd Villa from personal blame in con neotion with the killing at Zacateeas recently of two French citizens, mem bers of the Order of Christian Broth
