WARNS GIRLS TO BE LEARY OF
ORGANIZED CHARITY

The Business Girls Cooperative
club was given some inside dope on
the way charitable organizations
were run by Atty Phillip Mcguire at
a meeting in the Auditorium recital
hall last night.
Don't give your money to organ
lied charity until you know how that
charity is administering its funds"
he advised. Nov, far too much of it
woes to the administering of the
funds. If you have dime or a dol
lar or 500 to give, go out and give
it yourself. That is the best way"
Mcguire was one of the attorneys
connected with the Curran legislative
commissions who turned in a report
exposing the charities of Illinois as

New Year, eve Witnessed @ ,r

On what Is known as the "W,ndv

evening watching for the advent of

o CLOCK Homer took d 5000 riea
mat hung on the wall and going IN
'ne door said he was going to awak-
eh some Of the neighbors. He STEP
pea OUT upon the porch and fired
TWO shots, and at the report Of tho
mira slot the people inside the house
heard something fall. and going out
On the porch they found Homer living
there, life already being extinct
nasty examination showed that
the pack OF his head had been liter
ally blown off by the discharge of
the gun. Information was at onca
sent to town and undertaken L.
Herisson went to the scene and took
charge of the body, bringing It to
MS undertaking establishment from
which place the funeral was held on
Monday Of this week.
Al frs, it was thought It was a
case Of suicide. but upon careful ex-
animation Of the remains and the
surroundings, an affidavit was made
by the parents that they believed that
the deceased met his death by the
accidental discharge of the gun. At
the spot where the body was found
there was glare of ice, and 1t Is
supposed that the unfortunate man
slipped as he was about to fire the
gun, the charge taking effect in the
back OF his head. Had he attempted
suicide 1t is quite reasonable to sup
pose that he would have held the
gun to his temple instead of point
ing 1t at the back OF his head.
The family have had their share
Of trouble, as it was only a short time
ago that a daughter met an untimely
death. Homer was about 81 years
Of age, and upon this particular ev-
ening was feeling jovial and in good
spirits and his friends cannot believe
that his death was caused by any
suicidal intent.
