RECALLS HER EXPERIENCE
WITH UNITED CHARITIES
Mrs. Anna Dram attempted suicide
by gas in her room at 1749 W. Mon
roe st. last night.
There have been few better exam
pies of the rule of intolerance in or
ganized charity work than that pre-
sented by Mrs. Dram.
This woman has seen few joys and
much sorrow. She has waIlowed in
deepest poverty, trying with a leaky
heart and aged muscles that would
not brook the strain of work to sup
port her twin boys. She has pleaded
with the United Charities for aid and
it has sometimes flung her dollar
or two, but mostly it has crushed her,
harressed her, gave a lecture instead
of loaf of bread. It never gave her
enough to live on, it seldom gave at
all.
The Dram family has been a pet
enemy of the United Charities it
seems. 1t tried to drive John Dram
out of the city. He was twice in the
BrideweI, at the instigation of the
charities, he says. When he had an
opportunity to undergo a brain OPP
Grafton that might correct alleged
criminal tendencies, - DR.. Harry J.
Haiselden, who later successfully
performed the operation, says he was
opposed by the United Charities.
Last night Mrs. Dram tried gas. A
neighbor smeIled it, broke down the
door and revived her.

ward the indebtedness from my hus-

NORTH SIDE GOES BLACK AND
EVERYBODY'S PUT OUT A BIT
The lii OF north end of Chicago
was cussing to the tune of 'By the
Candle Light" Wednesday afternoon
between the half hours of 4 and $50.
Something happened to the light ap-
paratus that furnishes the district
around Broadway, Sheridan road,
Wilson aV. and Bryn Mawr Just
when dusk set in all the electric
globes fiickered a bit and then went
out And they didn't come. back to
life until nearly o'clock.
The EdgewateE Beach hotel looked
like black ghost against the sky
and water line, without a light burn
ing in the hundreds of windows.
Houses all along the fashionable
Sheridan drive were as if closed for
the winter months.
Stores through the business dis
tricts were making sales by the light
of candles. Suppers were late. When
the lights flashed on again ROSTERS
in, the neighbOrhOod began to crow.
The thought it was morning. In
truth, North Siders were just getting
over mourning mourning over the
lack of light.

ST. LOUIS is CREDITED WITH
LOWEST INFANT MORTALITY

St. Louis, Mo, April 26.-The low
est infant mortality of any large CITY
in the United States is credited to
st. Louis, according to table pre-
pared by the Pittsburg, Pa, health
department. The death rate in St.
Louis of children under one year OF
age is 1872 per thousand.
Health Commissioner Starklof Of
st. Louis says the infant mortality
here has decreased q per cent in the
last year, and this he attributes large
ly to the passage of pure milk ordl-
nance, requiring the pasteurization
of all milk sold in this city.

HEARS PLEA Of

SENATOR SHEPPARD AND 9TH
ERs IN CONFERENCE, MoOlFICA-
TlON OF ALLIES COTTON EN-
BARGO EXPECTED.

Washington, April 27.-Farmers
Unions Of Texas and adjoining states
have hopes of yet being able to ship
cotton and other agricultural products
to neutral countries without interfer-
ence by the allies, as developed in a
conference today between President
Wilson, counsellor Polk of the state
department. and senator Sheppard and
former state senator ID. NJ Alexander
of Fort Worth, attorney for the unions
of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alaba-
ma and florida.
A few months ago President Pope
of the Texas union interviewed admin
istration officials on the proposal to
ship cotton to neutral countries for re-
shipment to Germany. 1t was made
plain by the administration that safe
conduct for such shipments could not
be obtained, and it is understood that
Mr. Alexander in his interview only

tries.
At the White House Mr. Alexander
expressed the anxiety of the farmers
of Texas to have their products trans
ported to favorable market and that
they felt that pressure from the ad
ministraton would bring the relief
The president is said to have explain
ed that the administration was doing
everything possible to facilitate com
mercial intercourse between this and
other neutral countries and that more
was being done than appeared on the
surface 1t was pointed out that mat
ters concerning human life were con
sidered as of first importance, but the
rights of shippers were not being lost
/ sight of. The administration is max

second only to Cleveland among large
cities. The Cleveland death rate per
thousand is 13.4; that of st. Louis is
1877.
st. Louis has the lowest rate due
to diarrheal diseases among children
under two years, according TO the
Pittsburg table. The average is Az
per thousand. Ir. Starkloff says that
diarrheal disease are the greatest
cause of infant mortality.

STATE BOARD
Of EDUCATION
OUSTSBR|LES
BY VOTE OF TO I, PRESIDENT
OF EAST CENTRAL STATE NOR
NAL AT ADA is REMOVED -
NO CHARGES.

Oklahoma City, April 27.-Charles
w. Briles, president of the East Cen
tral State Normal school at Ada
since its organization seven years
of education Thursday afternoon.
J. NJ. Gordon, dean of the Presby-
terian college at WaXahaChie, Tex,
who was an applicant some time ago
for the presidency of the Southeast
ern normal at Durant, was elected 20
succeed Briles.
The resignation of Briles was re-
Quested by the board some time ago
but he refused to resign, asserting
that the board at that time was
without authority to request his res
ignation, and that there was no rea-
son for resigning. The vote on his
removal, which becomes effective on
May 90 was G to /. State Superin-
tendent r. II. Wilson, who Is eX-ot'
ficio president of the board, casting
the lone dissenting vote.
]. NJ. Gordon, elected to succeed
Briles, was before the board of edd
cation several months ago when the
board was considering the selection
of a president for the school at
Durant He made a favorable i'm
preston and received some support
for the presidency of the Duran'
school. 1t is understood that he will
| accept the Ada school.
| Reasons for Removal.
General dissatisfaction with his
| work is the reason given by members
of the board for the removal Of Eriles
No specific charge, it is stated, has
teen made against him, Briles as
serts his removal was dictated by
| Governor r. i. Williams, because hC
did not support him in the lcSt gu
bernatorial campaign. Rrilc2 was
| supporter of ]. B. A. Robertson.
Mr.. Briles is one of the most vide
~ known school men IN the state
For four years he was sunerinteno
ent of the city schools of Muskogec
and last November be was elected
president of the State Teachers as
sociation.
When the board Of education con
vened Wednesday it was reported
that if it removed Briles he woul'
contest the action on the ground tina
the board was acting illegally for th'
reason that the appointment of fou
of its members had not been con
6rmed by the senate. Upon hearin|
| this, Governor Williams reappointe'
all members who had not been con
| firmed.

Referred to Treaty.

lOTueu.
Referred to Treaty.
Mr.. AleXander's attention was called
to the last treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, the socalled
Bryan peace treaty, which provides
that in disputes of whatever nature,
if the nations can not agree, the con
troversy shall be submitted to a board
of arbitration with a year to investi-
gate. pending which the status of the
nations is preserved. 1t is understood
the President views the diplomatic
route as the better course under un-
settled conditions, as it might be diff
cult to obtain the appointment OF
proper board and that during the year
of consideration which could be eX-
! tended upon the request OF each par
ty for a longer time, the government
hands would be tied pending final
report. Incidentally, it developed that
the Bryan treaty was not executed by
Germany, although in some quarters
| it is understood to have been assented
to by that government.
At the state department doubt was
expressed that shipments of cotton
could go forward with safety until a
modification of the existing rules were
obtained on the part of the allied gov
ernments. Counsellor Polk expressed
the belief that goods ought to be ship
ped to neutral countries in American
bottoms, without interference, upon
certificate of the representative in the
United States of the neutral country
to which shipment is made that the
goods were intended for a bona fide
consignee in that country. This is un.
derstood to be in harmony with the
holding of the United States courts in
the Matamoras case during the Civil
War and officials believe the embar-
go order may be modified
Britain Gives Little Assurance.
Great Britain's answer to the Amer.
lean complaints touching the block
ade give little promise of the condi-
tions being modified, other than that
the contentious under the rule of ul'
innate destination might be met
through a combination Of neutral gov,
ernments, under the leadership of the
United States, to exert an effective
influence to prevent the violation OF
neutral rights. Such a combination
would be expected to effect an agree
ment whereby trading between neu
trails would be. undisturbed by satisfy
ing the allies against so-caIled neutral
shipments being employed as a mask
to facilitate trade with enemy coun
tries. This is the broadest intimatior

here that the controversies over com
merce may speedily be terminated.

day night.
THE reason I did not resign when
my resignation was requested was

board of education. The only charge
that has been made against me is
that I did not support Governor Will
