CALLS FOR CHECK ON FOOLISH
WASTE OF BABIES THAT
THE COUNTRY NEEDS"/
A bitter attack on the custom Of
branding children born out of we'd
lock with the bar sinister" was made
by Prof. James H. Tufts in a speech
before the Chicago Woman's club
yesterday. He said this custom
brought about a foolish waste of
babies that the country needs"
Grave economic waste results
from denying justice and legal status
to the children of unmarried moth
ers," he said. "They are so handi-
capped that it is well nigh impossi-
bic for, them to grow to usefulness.
When we refuse them a fair chance
the loss is as much theirs as ours"
DR.. Lucy Waite discussed a bill
which will be introduced in the Iegis-
lature this winter under which the
birth of a child constitutes a mar
rage bond between the parents, I'M
less one Of the parents is already
married. She said the present nli-
nois law by which man can settle
with the mother of his child for $3.50,
payable in ten years, is the worst in
the world.
Mrs. Katherine Anthony discussed
the Norwegian law, which gives the
child born out Of wedlock an equal
share in his fathers estate. If the
father of the child cannot be def
nitely established, then all the men
who might be the father are obliged
to contribute.

CONSIDERABLE MYSTERY As
TO CAUSE OF FLORSHEIM
ELEVATOR ACCIDENT
The inquest into the cause of the
elevator accident in the Florsheim
Shoe Co., Adams and ,Desplaines
sts., that cost lives of seven working
people Nov. 8, was begun today.
Milton A. Florsheim, millionaire
head of the shoe company, was the
first witness. He exhibited a queer
ignorance of the system Of employ
ing workers in his plant. He didn't
know who employed the elevator
men, but finally remembered that w
D. HerTiCk, 20, operator of the fatal
car, was a substitute operator, who
had been placed there by the fore
man of the sole leather department.
Frank Gaynor, Getty elevator in
spectOr, gave several theories as to
the probable cause of the tragedy.
Something broke and the car con-
tinued upward until it struck the
beams. There were several parts of
the car found broken after the fall,
but Gaynor couldn't determine
whether they broke before or after
the fall. He also said the safety de-
vices failed to work when the car
fell. He said he believed death was
caused by the fall Of 1920 pounds Of
cable and machinery parts that
crashed into the car. There were 81
persons on the car when it fell.
A deputy elevator inspector said
the elevator had formerly been
freight elevator, but at the request of
Florsheim a few changes were made
and it was o. KID as a passenger ele-
Eator.

An appeal has been taken by r. l..

county against the decision of the
county executive committee which
rhursdayssdeclared M. L. Moore, who
ran IN the second race against Bur-
l<ett for, tue ssflioe, the nominee Of the
Democratic party. ~ -.
The appeal was taken on the ground
that Eddie c. Geddings voted at the
DuBose box, that he voted for M. L.
Moore. that he was not qualified to
vote anu that therefore the box
should be Thrown out. Further, ground
for appealing was that Il. w. Parker
voted at Dalzell for NJ. l.. Moore and
that he was not q resident Of the dis
trict. The appeal Is taken by Harmon
ID. Noise. attorney for Magistrate
Burkett.
In his reply M. L. Moore, through
his attorney, Geo. ID. Levy, makes q
counter appeal on the ground that a
vote In Ward 2 was cast for r.. L.
Burkett. when there was no evidence
before the executive committee to
show that the person casting the vote

Evening Suns financial review today
said:
Pronounced heayiness in Anglo
French bonds was an interesting if not
the most important feature in the stock
market today. There was nothing in
the overnight news or in the known
developments during the session to ac-
count for the action selling which car
ried the securities down half a point
from % "a to % IA with only mod.
crate recovery, but financial interests
found fairly satisfying explanation
in the widespread rumOrs regarding the
possibility of another large English
loan, coupled with the impending nego-
tiations for a French credit of $780,
100000.
First prices were but slightly changed
in either direction and while the un-
dertone was strong speculative i'm
pulse was lacking. In the absence of
any fresh public buying dealing con-
tinued largely professional.
United States Steel ruled strong at
a fraction Improvement, but the same
issue displayed no greIt vitality and
there was a pronounced decrease in ac-
tiyity as the session progressed.
Trading in Wall Street was limited
to narrow movements in special issues

was strong while railways were heavy,
