cHIUDREN'S FAIRGROUNDS.

Two recent experiences have proven
to me that William Hale Thompson's
idea, public Fairgrounds for the chill
dren of our city" is a necessity, not
only for the physical welfare of the
child but for the safety of the pedes-
TRANS of our streets as well.
Only yesterday, while walking on
Calumet aH. near 47th st. (south

side) came to a sudden realization
that / was being rudely attacked from
the rear and simultaneously found
myself in close contact with the
dusty cement sidewalk. G..
Upon arising to my feet found
myself in company with three small
boys who were seated in a vehicle
known as an Irish Mail" The little
fellows were frightened, but were lit
tie gentlemen and were most profuse
with apologies. The one who opera
ated the machine stated that he
tried to stop it but was little late"
AS for myself, l received bad shak-
ing up and a torn dress. However,
Il consider l came through very for
tunate.
Another instance, during the past
week 1 witnessed a girl on roller
skates, of probably ten years of age,
apparently with elaboration, roll on
to a small child of about six years
of age. The skater continued on,
never turning her head to ascertain if
she had done an injury. l assisted
the little victim to her feet and she
proceeded on her way tearfuIly, with
a bruised face and bloody nose. So
a playground for each locality seems
a wise provision, and to strictly re-
serve the sidewalk as public thor
oughfares only and thereby avert
tragedies.
viii you kindly find space in your
valuable Day Book for the above, as
1 believe, judging from my experience
of yesterday, that children making a
playground of our city sidewalks

PASSENGER RATES-There are
so many crooks, favorites, preachers,
priests, doctors and politicians who
pay no fares on our railroads that we
have the same identical proposition
here that we have with taxing per-
sonal property. l propose abolishing
entirely passenger fares and let all
ride free, so that there will be no IA
Voritism. Then charge all to freight
rates by doubling or even trebling the
rates. This will cheat all legislators
out of political thunder of debating
passenger rates, and compel every
body to be honest, whether they want
to be or not, because freight is like
real estate and can always be located
without graft to conductors. Per-
sonal property leaves fine graft to
assessors, which everyone under
stands.
People are virtually forced to be
dishonest. IF our freight rates are
forced to furnish all the profits the
railroads could simplify operations
and reduce expenses about 25 per
cent. A poor man could then ride
from one end of the country to the
other for nothing and obtain work.
This would solve the employment
problem and freight rates would only
raise a ten-cent article about one
cent to consumer. A 10-cent Quaker
Oats would retail for II cents, and
IL L. sTT
ride on fancy trains they might, by
paying for it and thus lowering the
new freight rates somewhat. This
system would throw the burden on
the rich and middle classes, where it
belongs AlIen. Steven.

Great Storm

New York, Aug. 4.-The Atlantic
coast and interior states adjoining the
seaboard from Maine to Georgia were
recovering today from one of the worst
storms in years, which resulted in up
wards of 80 deaths and did property
damage amounting to millions Of dol
lars last night.
Communication was badly interrupted
in some sections today and until wires
are restored the exact toll taken by
the storm cannot be ascertained.
The heaviest damage and loss of life
was at Erie Pa, where more than 80
are believed to have perished and prop
erty valued at $3,OOO,OOO destroyed.
Along the coast from Maine to GeOr-
gia the elements ragged until daybreak
today, preying upon small vessels and
ondangering larger craft. The steamer
Chase foundered off Sandy Hook early
today with the loss of two lives. The
captain of the Chase was one Of the
victims.

WEIRD TALES OF BOY
BELIEVED IN EUGENE
BOastings Of Escape From Re-
form School Impress
News Writer

"In reference to the story which ap.
peared in the morning paper about 10
boys escaping from the Oregon State
Training school," said Superintendent
Hale today, 81 want to say that the
entire story is misrepresentation of
facts and i am surprised that a sane re-
porter would fall for the weird tale of
this Bobby Make.Believe variety. In
the first place no ten boys escaped.
Harold Collier, lad of Ia years, was
the only one who got away. He was
working ON road cutting out some
brush and sneaked out through this
brush and boarded a train, / suppose
ut a safe distance. He says he escaped
three times when as n matter of fact
he had been here but three months
and this is the first time he ever even
attempted to run away, and he went
alone.
'His mother who came to the school
with him, said that he had been in the
habit of running away ever since he
was six years old and always upon his
return he told some marvellous tale OF
adventure. He has been ship wrecked
upon canibal island, captured by
smugglers, and been beset by packs o!
ravenous wolves and even served in I
pirate crew--all in his mind-and as hi
stories were harmless he was allowed
to ramble on. 1t was not suspected
however, that they would ever appear
in print as the plain unvarnisheC
truth. "
Mr.. Hale went on to say that HI
sent Lloyd Walgomott, u trusty, aget
1S, after the runaway and that the
boys were returned to the school las
Saturday. The Collier boy only ESCAPED
Wednesday and Saturday night he wa
safe at tho institution again and die
not have time to go to California ~
he told the Eugene people. Mr.. Hal,
believes in treating the boys kindly ant
allowed them many privileges and it il
seldom that one takes advantage Of thu
confidence placed in him.
