UNITED CHARITIES ASKED TO
EXPLAIN WHAT THEY DO

hundreds of thousands of dollars Of
the peoples money they are coping
off every year on the plea they are
helping the poor.

husband and father had been sent
to the Detention hospital.
On March % Michael RybarCzwk,
the husband, was sent to the hos

wife and three children were left de-
pendent and suffering from a dan
gerous illness. Judge SteIk recon-
mended that the United Charities be
appealed to. That day report was
sent the U. G. Nothing was done.
March q another appeal was
made. This was also ignored. An
appeal was also sent Louise Mcclure,

Yesterday Judge Stelk ordered
Isabel CarTUthers, court attache, to
get busy and find out why nothing
had been done to aid the family.
The latter said the U. G. was not in
terested in Mrs. Rybarczwk because
she had admitted that at one time

1.-THE MORE WE GET THE MORE
WE WANT"-RAILROADS' IDEA
BY ellison Gardner.
Washington, March 30.-On the
basis that the more money one has
the more one needs, the railroads are
asking for a Is per cent increase in
freight rates. The town is full Of
railroad presidents and every after
noon they are on their knees before
the interstate commerce commission
with large, salty tears rolling down
their cheeks, begging for the privi-
lege of squeezing the public a little
harder in this merry time of squeeze.
The getting is good these days, and
railroad presidents are mostly mem
bers of that welI-known firm of
"Grabem and SqUeeZem," and they
are living up to the best traditions Of
their training.
The prayer for more money in the
way of higher freight rates is not
based on the terrible burden imposed
by the eight-hOUr day compelled by
the AdamsOn law. A special eight
hOr day commission, consisting of
Gen. GOethals, Commissioner Ed
Clark and Mr.. Rublee, is working on
that problem. The commission was
created especially to find out wheth-
er the increased wages to the train
men would make it necessary to raise
freight rates, but this commission
cannot report until six months have
passed and the railroads have had
tryOUt with the eight-hOur law.
The railroads would not, of course,
wait for this, so they have come into
court and asked for the increased
freight rates. on general principles.
They do not deny that their profits
are the biggest that ever were earn
ed since the roads were built. They
merely say they need the money; and
the word need" in this case is syn

Reformation which Martin Luther started;
he has gone to the authentic authorities-to
the Roman Catholic writers of this and other
times = and he has prepared, in condensed

which he has collected, and which will show
so clearly that Luther recognized the need of

When YOU realize that
Catholic, imbued with the idea that he is not
entitled to any voice in church affairs, and con

who must silently pay and obey, soon accepts
the POLITICAL doctrine of his church, also; and

choose rulers, make laws, think for himself

Savannah, Ga, is the home of Bishop
Kelley, and the Bishop is peeved because The

and the $1,000. There was no betting
at the ringside. All knew Orem was
the better man, but were afraid to
offer bets on him. When time was
called for the last round everything
had been arranged that it was to be
the last by Geogheghan and his
friends.
FINALLY, in the last round Geoghe-
CHAN rushed in and clinched Orem
and attempted to raise him off his
feet and throw him. Failing in this
he attempted to squirm from Orem's
hold to the ground.
Guns Drawn
I'm doing this Orem opened his
hold and catching Geogheghan full in
the face with right uppercut, sent
him sprawling over into his corner
Instantly the ropes were cut, bedlam
was let loose, revolvers were drawn,
and from every throat came the cry
of foul, foul, foul.
The notorious John Burns, alias
Piper Burns, drawing big 48 calbre
revolver, told the referee, with the
gun an inch from his head, to decide
foul in Geogheghan's favor, which
he did, if not fairly, certainly wisely.
"Geogheghan reached New, York
safely on steam tug, but not so
with Orem, who looked to the sheriff
for protection, which he gave him.
After the sheriff left the ringside he
repaired at once to South Amboy,
where he pressed into service as depu-
ties 800 stone cutters, and then COM
menced a chase along the shores of
the Kill Won Kull with running fus-
illade of shots from the deputies,
which was returned by the fleeing
men, who scattered in all directions,
their object being to get to Staten
Island shore, and a great number
reached Totenville, l.. l., in safety
though a great many were arrested
and spent terms in prison."

start was made to find suitable
place for the ring to be pitched. Aft
er journeying about half an hour the
ringmaster, the notorious Kit Burns,
who kept sailors dance house on
Water street, New York, selected
smooth piece of ground and started
to pitch inner and outer rings.
"The spectators, numbering about
a thousand or more by this time, were
mostly under the influence of liquor.
After the ring had been properly
pitched, the mob began to call for the
principals, who very shortly after
ward made their appearance.
"Geogheghan was the first to ap-
pear and was cheered for fully tWen-
ty minutes. They were all his friends
at the ringside and it would have been
worth a mans life to have said a
word in favor of Con Orem.
"Later Orem appeared with the
late Harry Hill, Dan Kerrigan, John
ny Roche and a few others. Not a
cheer, not word was said in his be-
half Insults and blasphemy were all
he got. Geogheghan was the first to
enter the ring. When Orem entered
Hill said that they were not prepared
to fight and he would forfeit to
Geogheghan the championship of
Colorado and the 81, 900 prize money.
1t seemed like suicide for Orem to
proceed.
Refuses to Forfeit
"Georgheghan said his friends had
come there to see fight and that
they would see one. Hill, Kerrigan
and the friends of Orem had then left
him to the mercy of Geogheghan and
his followers.
Deserted by the few friends he
had relied on he asked Geogheghan
to accept the forfeit. This Geogheg-
han refused to do, and said that he
must fight-which he finally agreed
to do if he was allowed fair play.
This was promised, but all he got was
the promise.
"No one would volunteer to Sec
ond Orem. All were afraid of losing
their lives. There were not fifty men
around the ring who were not armed.
, Finally Orem asked Kit Burns and
William Varley, alias Reddy the
blacksmith, who later killed Jimmy
Haggerty of this city, at Eagan's sa-
loon, Broadway and Houston streets,
to act as his seconds and they reluc-
family agreed. Geogheghan had as
