 The Socialist candidate will receive the second largest vote in the Sec ond division. Dan Sutherland is try ing to stem the tide against the dele gate but cannot make the miners be lieve that Wickersham was not work ing for the Pioneer Mining company and the other big operators when he wrote the Johnson bill, which is iden tical with the bill he introduced after the big storm at Nome, which reliev ed the big corporations from doing assessment work. claiming that the storm had ruined them. when, as . matter of fact, the people who lost were the merchants in town and the laborers who would be thrown out o1 work through the effect of the Wick ersham law and the only gainer the big corporations z and nonresident owners. ss V Y

c. D. RLAcHLY DOESN'T CARE
TO HAVE THINGS TAKEN WRONG,
C. D. Blachly, superintendent Of So
cial survey, is apologizing to organ
lied charities because extracts from
report to the mayor by the bureau
of social surveys of the department
of public welfare can be interpreted
as a denunciation of the methods of
charitable agencies in Chicago.
In taking the odium from the or
ganized charities Blachly places it on
the people of the city. He says:
1.-THE matter emphasized in this
report was the common failure Of
the people of Chicago to remove
some of the most serious causes Of
the need of charity. One of these
causes is unsanitary housing.
"a careful investigation made by
the bureau of social surveys Of five
typical blocks of as many districts
of the city where housing is defec-
tive reveals the following facts:
"In the year 1914 in one block it
was found that 37.1 per cent of all
the families In the block were COM
PEELED to accept charitable. assis-
lance. In other blocks the proportion
of families accepting aid was 14.2
per cent, I'll per cent, 1875 per cent
and 53.6 per cent.
These figures were obtained from
the social registration bureau. which
registers the cases treated by about
rs Of the principal charities of the
city. 49,.
Blachly says that if the commu-
nifty could by wise action remove the
extraordinary causes of need the
work of organized charities would be
adequately effective, and declares
that the charities are in the wisest
manner known at the present time
relieving distress. +,

BURGLAR BUNGLES;
LOCKSEEITH NEEDED

Did the burglar who entered the
saloon of J. NJ Darr, 800 Mesa avenue,
Monday night secure the $3.50 in Buff
faIo nickels that were in the safe? That
is what the city detectives want to
know. The combination Of the safe
was nut out of commission. When the
burglar inserted the key in the lock
of the box containing the nickels, he
broke the key off. The detectives do
not know whether the key was broken
off in the lock after the box was
opened or. before. A locksmith will have
to be employed before it is discovered
whether the nickels were taken. The
burglar did take 10 pints Of whisky and
a revolver. The entrance to the place
was made through a rear door.
