Batey Meetings.

The meetings now being conducted
by Dan Batey, the noted Chicago mis-
sion rescue worker, under the aus
pices Of the local Y. NJ. c. A., with the
of many Of the churches
of the city, are now uppermost In the
labor of the association here. Mr..
or Rev. Batey. as he may be properly
designated, is a leader in rescue work
in his home city and is superintend.
ent of the Dan Batey mission OF Chi.
cago, whose work has become famous
even outside of Chicago, within a
large circle.
The mission was opened On Chicago
day, Oct. 9, 1912. by Dan G. Batey, the
founder of the mission, who had been
a down-and-outer, and was converted
in the Bible rescue mission April %,
! 1909. Nobody could be found to &C
jcept the superintendency of the mis-
sion at the time of its inauguration, 1t
Is said, because there was no salary
attached to it. Mr.. Batey stepped In
to the place naturally, being not the
kind of man to "lie down" when the
work of rescue was needing earnest,
honest. strenuous work.
The mission Is located in a district
where hundreds Of men, and women,
too, must live in the midst of vice and
sin. with scarcely ray of inspiring
sunshine to give them hope and
strength to withstand the temptations
of the environment.
| Men of influence and high morals
were upon the board. A member Of
the board was George Habener, we'll
known as a worker in the rescue
cause He said once in support Of the
mission:
There is not a home in Chicago Of
the type we want to build. We want
a home which will not require a GER
titicate of character, nor the endorse
ment Of any charitable organization,
in order to get a nights lodging. We
want it for the 'down-and-outs' for
women, whether their misfortune has
come about through sin Or misfor-
tune"
Writing Of the mission after two
years of it's work. Rev. w. B. Norton
wrote: For two years the missic l
has cared for thousands of men, giving
them food and nights flop on the
floor of the mission. We have asked
no questions except to find out wheth-
er they were hungry and had no other
place to sleep. We secured employ

AURORA. ILL.,. March l.. Hunt for
the murderer of Emma peterson today
shifted temporarily to Chicago. Chief
of Police Michels sent representatives
there to interview Henry Miller, the
man picked up in Chicago today be-
cause of his resemblance to the man
seen running from where Miss Peter
son was dubbed to death. If the cleo
looks at all good. Miller will be
brought here.
Despite this Chicago lead. the Au-
rora police today were obviously not
more than luke warm with the hope
that Miller might prove to know some
thing Of the third mysterious girl
murder here within twelve months.
They felt more inclined to the belief
that better chance for solving the
--latest mystery lies in questioning
Jess Williams.
Williams is the negro who early to-
day confessed that he robbed and
cruelty beat Mrs. Francis E. Schwarz,
seventy years old, after maltreating
her last Saturday Williams confes-
sion of the assault on Mrs. Schwarz,
was highly dramatic.
While detectives were questioning
the black in a cell. Chief Michels
brought the Decatur blood hounds to
the Jail He dangled the WOODEN
mitten found near Emma Peterson's
body, near their noses and started
them of down the Jail corridor. The
dogs smiled aimlessly along until
they reached Williams cell. There
they stopped suddenly and began to
bay directly at the terrified negro.

Williams. II done it: l done it."

GREAT DISCOVERY
HAS BEEN MADE
Government Scientist Finds Out How
to lncrease Production OF Case
line 200 Percent!

limited Press Leased Wire Service1
WASHINGTON, March IA gov
eminent scientist has defeated the
best of the worlds experts in the en-
ploy Of the great Standard Oil COM
pany and the people of the United
States, instead of a giant industrial
combination, will benefit.
DR.. Walter F. Rittman, chemical
engineer of the bureau OF mines, mas
invented process to increase the
production of gasoline from petro-
leum 200 per cent and to manufacture
toluol and benzonl, the important
bases for the manufacture Of dye
stuffs and high explosives, from
crude petroleum.
1t Is stated by Secretary OF the In
terror Lane, that both processes will
be so cheap that the United States
must hereafter be considered a fac
tor in the production of toluol and
benzol and of dyestuffs.
For several years the Standard OIL
company has had its experts working
to make these discoveries.
The interior department will now
patent the Rittman processes and will
license all manufacturers to produce
the fluids. In turning his discovery
over to the government, Dr.. R1ttman
will gain scientific, but not monetary
fame. Secretary Lane in discussing
their invention called attention to the
fact that under the Rittman discov-
cry, the United States is independent
of foreign nations with regard to
smokeless powder, the process guar
anteeing chemicals necessary in pow
der manufacture and heretofore ex-
clusively produced abroad.

to hear the concluding address OF Rev.
McAllister on "Is He'll Frozen OVER.
This brought to close the series OF
mass meetings that have been going
on every night, with the exception OK
Monday nights, throughout the last
two weeks. Last night 1t was estf

week there have been over thirty

Rev. McAIlister in his talk last
night, said in part: Every tribe has
It's religion and every tribe has a be-
lief in something good and something
evil that may be attained by fulfill
ing certain conditions. There seems
to be force in the heart Of every
man telling him there is an after life,
and in that life we shall be punished
or rewarded according to the deeds
we have done here. These places
the christians, call heaven and hell.

and its torments, now, however, we
hear little about it, ministers are not
desiring to people heaven by the fear
of hell, but are appealing to the ne
roic in their lives to take this manly
step.
He said that some did not like the
idea Of hell; some do not like snakes.
but they exist just the same. The
speaker then spoke Of the reasonable
ness of there being hell. Some, dur
ing the hour they are in church, are
literally in hell, they wish they were
some place else. You owe man
something, or else do him mean
act, and you will walk around the
block to avoid him. When criminals
are forced to face a victim whom
they have wronged, they will often
blanch, and some have been known
to scream aloud, they want to get
away from the sight of their misdeed.
The speaker concluded this point
with further illustrations, stating that
we have so wronged God, many Of
us, that it would be hell to be in His
presence, and that God was not cruel.
but kind I'm preparing such a place
so that people could be away from
His presence.
