CHICAGO AMERICAN
ON BOTH CIRCULAT
HEARST'S SHEET FACES LARGE
SUIT DUE TO STORY
Miss Densie Herendeen, 1882 N. La
Sale st., has filed suit for $4,000
against the Chicago American.
The American seems to have over
stepped the bounds for the benefit Of
getting a story on Miss Herendeen
and Mrs. Agnes Chester See, wife of
the notorious Evelyn Arthur See.
Evelyn Arthur See is head of the
Absolute Faith sect, who was four
years ago found guilty of misconduct
with young girls in his charge and is
now serving time in Joliet. It was
he who figured in the sensational
trial involving Mildred Bridges, a IT.
year-old follower.
Mrs. See has not lived with her
husband for nine years, she says. She
is opposed to absolute faithism. The
American published a story saying
Mrs. See, with the aid of Miss Her
endeen, had founded a new "See
sect" The article also said things
about the conduct of the affairs of
the Real Egg Noodle Co., 211 Schil-
Ter St., which Miss Herendeen did not
like. Miss Herendeen is deeply inter
ested in this company.

ION AND NEWS ENDS
CIRCULATION WAR SHOWS UP
AMERICAN TACTICS
The Chicago American wishes it
had never declared war on Servia.
Servia - first name Mike - licked
the alleged prize tough guy of the
Americans circulation staff, scared
two more out of their boots and is
now getting aid from the Daily News.
SeTYia has the newsstand at Bel
mont aV. and Clark st. The Hearst
paper, Servia claims, tried to make
him take daily from so to rs papers
more than he could sell. "This is an
old stunt of the Hearst paper" ex-
planned Servia. 1.-THE boys have to
pay for the papers whether they sell
them or not" The practice proves a
great aid in boosting paid circula-
ton.
If newsbOy protests against haV-
ing to "eat' so many extra papers
he is likely to suffer physically.
when refused to take so many
more than I could sell the wagon
man, he tried to beat me up with a
horse SHOE" said Servia, in broken
tongue.
Servia licked the wagon man
soundIy. Then, he claims, they got
him down in the police captains Of
fee and bluffed him into paying the
doctors bill. He thought if he did
not he would have to go to prison.
Yesterday four husky newssellers
appeared on the corner in opposition
to Servia. They stood all around his
stand and sold Americans. The Daily
News sent four of it's finest-as big as
the American sellers the scene at
once. The police captain has taken
a hand. He has ordered that no pa
pers can be sold within 10 feet of

for them increased compensation.
This desirabl condition was brought

complished. Their ability and industry
make it possible to continue the record
of the office in this respect.
at is to be regretted that in the past
twanty-one years there has been no in
crease in the salary of any position of
law clerk or accountant in this office.
Certain lines of work justify more sal
airy than is paid at this time. In other
Offices in the department and in other
departments the compensation for the
more difficult class of work performed
by law clerks is substantially larger
than is paid in this office.
