AGAINST SEGREGATION. Re


garding an article in The Day Book
of July %, 1915, signed "a. Gee Bee,"
beg to say one Of the best descrip-
tons of segregated district that L
have read was in sermon preached
by the Rev. r, H. Hartley, of Quincy,
ILL.,, against the segregation of vice.
He compared a segregated district to
bad housekeeping where a certain
room was given over for grease, tar
and SCOT, ETC., and these were
tracked all over the house from this
room, which is good description of
how, in the old days of the segregat-
ed district, the vice, crime and degen-
eracy of that district were spread all
over the city. Segregation never
segregated in the city of Chicago or
anywhere else, and if Mr.. A. Gee Bee
VIII come in and see me will give
him In detail some Of the informa-
ton that has been collected for many
years by our Office.
A. Gee Bee says we corral or con-
fine our patients. Yes, but if a pa
tient has scarlet fever we don't allow
another patient to go and visit and be
infected by the scarlet fever patient.
Is it wise for city to allow open de-
fiance of the laws of the state and of
the city, laws that make for cleanli-
ness and the purity and well-being
of its inhabitants? Is 1t wise to allow
a nest where smallpox, scarlet fever
and diphtheria and every other
known disease that is contagious to.
exist and cause the spread of these
terrible diseases to the innocent?
There would be- Just as much sense
in that procedure as to allow a seq
regated district with the well-known
diseases incident to the social evil.
A. Gee Bee says: "The woman
prostitute is not menace to society,
so long as she attends to her own

LAND VALUES

war the slave power estimated the
value of her slaves at $3.50, 5000
When slavery was abolished this
value was destroyed. Yet there was
no actual destruction of tangible
property. The legal power OF the
slave-owning class to compel their
slaves to work for nothing was the
only thing done away with.
In the United States the value of
the bare ground has increased from
nothing to $4,000, 100000, which is
more than 80 times the value of all
the slaves before the war.
This great sum represents not tam
gible wealth, but the value Of the
legal power of landowners to de-
mand labor or its products for the
permission to use their property.
Perhaps, if we studied this question,
we might discover the relation which

Phoenix, Ariz.-Five thousand resi-

Arizona are alarmed over reports that
the Hopi tribe on the Navajo reserva,
ton are threatening to go on the war
path" according to reports received
here Monday Approximately $4,000
Indians are living on the Navajo reser-
walton, but 1t was not known what
proportion Of them were involved In
threatening Wprisings.
The Hopi Indians became angered.
It as said, when one Of their number
was shot and killed several days ago
by police officers. The Indian opened
fire on the officers when they at.
tempted to arrest him and was killed
by one of the officers moment later.
Friends of the Indian immediately
began to foment trouble among other
Indians on the reservation, and some
of the Piutes who went on the war
patr in the Bluff, Utah, district about
a year ago, began agitating disturb
ance among this gang.
The shooting occurred near Lees
Terry, crossing on the Grand CANYON
Of Arizona, about Atty miles south Of
the Arizona-Utah boundary line. Word
OF the threatened trouble was brought
10 Flagstaff by an Indian runner.
Efforts probably will be made TO
nave a troop Of cavalry from Ell Paso
accompany the deputies to the scene.

While the substance Of the proposed

by Secretary Lansing, on Tuesday.
The desires Of the United States in
this connection were made known to
the ambassador after President Will

his cabinet.
Count Won Bernstorff Immediately

made, but explained in effect that, as

He did so in dispatch sent to Ber-
