Seven lines in the Tribune, two
lines in the Herald and not a word
in the Examiner were given today to
tell just what a certain speaker said
before the local transportation COM
mittee public hearing yesterday.
The speaker was E. J. Haley, real
estate operator and brother of Mar
garet Haley, leader of the Chicago
Teachers Federation. What he really
did say was that:
The people of Chicago want to
know quickly who is paying for the
big advertisements in the trust press,
signed by the Chicago Surface Lines,
boosting the 1880 year franchise
that lines are trying to put over with
the aid Of Walter Fisher, Aid. H. D.
Captain and others.
The franchise as outlined by $780,
900 Traction and Subway Comm'n
report is a grab, a steal in which the
people are going to get bunked as
they did in 1907.
The council transportation COM
mittee, elected by the people to rep
resent the people, is pushing bill,
dictated by traction miIliOnaires
through Walter Fisher, to take over
the streets for at least 80 years
longer.
When the 80 years is past, it is
very doubtful if the city could then
take over it's car lines even. if the
franchise gave it the right because
it would not have money enough.
The lines have put it over on the
city already under the 1907 fran
chise, which was supposed to give us
municipal ownership in 1927.
If we give them a further hold on
city streets we pass up public
ownership practically forever, be-
cause a fictitious increase in the
valuation of the car line properties

Tuesday, May IS, 1917.


This should be rather a fortunate day
according to astrology. Early in the
morning Mars Is strongly beneic In as
pect and late at night Jupiter is friendly.
Saturn and Neptune are family adverse.
There is a promising sway for the army
and whatever concerns military affairs.
The rise Of a man with great ability is
prognosticated. Sweeping changes in
command are foretold.
Under this rule the United States
should experience great encouragement in
regard to some foreign connection or ne
gotiation.
While trouble over treaties and inter
national agreements is foreshadowed,
these should not bring discredit on Amer
lean diplomacy.
The evening of this day should be most
favorable for the discussion of trade or
commerce. State banquets have the best
possible direction
This Is not lucky day for any sort
of travel. Neptune has a warning for
those who Journey on the water.
There is a very promising aspect for
all who conduct summer hotels or board
ing houses. An extraordinary exodus
from New York and other sea coast cit
les is predicted.
Railway accidents are foretold. These
may be peculiarly numerous and may re-
suit in loss of many lives.
Saturn Is not encouraging to the aged,
who suffer much from the infirmities
common to the old.
The public health should be safeguarded
with unusual care in all large cities dur
ing the coming summer.
Again honors and unusual prominence
appear to be indicated for the Vice Presi-
dent.
A woman pioneer in legislative affairs
will win fame by advocating humani-
tartan measure that will benefit child
rem. '..s
Women should submerge their interests
in the common veal during the summer
months, II they hope to win political sue
cess, the stars warn.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is should
avoid new enterprises in the coming
year Young women should be careful
In their conduct.
Children born on this day may meet
with opposition from powerful enemies.
These subjects OF Taurus usually have
great perseverance and succeed in the
face of all obstacles.

America will finance the liberty loan
and a number OF others of similar size
without any great strain on its financial
resources, in the opinion of Donald c.
Mcdonald, of Boston, publisher of the
Boston Financial News, and one of the
directors Of the company which took a
chance at exploiting Charlie Chaplin. the
screen comedian, on q $670, ,0o0-a-year sal
ary.
Mcdonald, who Is a guest at the Will
lard, does not believe that the revenue
bill Is drawn upon a scientific basis and
he is in Washington to register his pro-
test upon the levies proposed upon the
moving picture industry.
"It seems regrettable," he says. that
Congress'has to frame these bills at such
short notice to meet the present emer-
gency.
EVERYBODY Is willing to pay a just
share Of the expenses Of the war, but
nobody likes to be imposed upon.
TN a number OF schedules the new war
revenue bul shows gross Inconsistencies.
The tax upon theater tickets and upon
moving picture films Is one instance of
this. It taxes a form Of amusement that
ought to be encouraged rather than dis
couraged during the progress of the war
since It provides a luxury that is mex
pensive and IL not available will be sup
able and less expensive, but upon which
the government will derive little or
nothing"
So far as the financial world is con-
cerned, Mr.. Mcdonald declares, the finan-
ciers will be willing to do their part
They want no commissions on floating
this liberty loan, and those who plan vast
fortunes on helping the government to
raise funds will find themselves classed
with food gamblers and munition makers
who are preparing to wax fat on the
war conditions at the expense Of their
regulations.
TITS the human side of John McCor-
mack that gets into his songs and makes
him the most popular concert artist in
the world" said Wilbur A. Rice, concert
master Of the Chicago Philharmonic Or
chestra, who is a guest at the Willard.
THE Irish singer is whole-hearted. His
concert at the Hippodrome in New York
on Sunday night, the proceeds of which
went to the poor of his old home town.
Athlone, in ireland, to the French orphans
endeared him to thousands. The proceeds
were $4,000 and but few know that Nc
Cornack paid 1900 for the rent of the
theater out of his own pocket.
Another incident that illustrates his
human qualities. When Mccormack met
Johnny Kilbane, the feather-weight
pugilist champion. the fighter told him
that his father was too feeble to attend
his concert, but was wrapped in desire
to hear him sing some Irish melodies.

the elder Kilbane and brought tears to
his eyes by his feeling rendition OF the
