TWO PICTURES HERE
First OF Poverty; Second Shows
Where Charity Secured It's
Own Reward.

That there are plenty Of opportun-
tiles 10 aid the poor OF this city. is
shown by one instance where the
Associated Charities not only did
mere relief work but also accom-
plished actual service. The family
in question has been in desperate
straits since early fall. A physician
brought the case before Miss Leila
Scott, secretary of the organization
Here is the story.
A sick mother. three children and
a husband struggling along on a pit
lance of several dollars a week in a
small house. one child not vet in
her teens, was taking care of the
mother. The house was Uttered
with filth and dirt. There was only
one bed so the father, after a hard
days labor had 10 sleep on the
floor
Then the Associated Charities took
a hand. Relief was given. The
house was cleaned, the woman re-
stored TO health, furniture secured
through the aid of The News-Times
and loans made the family. The
actual service done by Miss Scott
and her one assistant was the secur~
ing of a better position for the hus-
band, enabling them 10 live COM
fortably. The loans will be paid

FRAUDULENT METHODS
USED SAY WOMEN

Two cases of alleged fraudulent
selling methods used III disposing of
household article, Burnall gas
saver, have been reported TO he
police who are now looking for the
agent, a description Of whom has
been furnished.
Mrs. William Dillon. 1913 Mariet-
TO. and Mrs. Sarah Whitmer. 705
Wenger St, were the two women
VINO claim they were defrauded by
the agent After a failure to dis
pose Of the article, which when at
tached TO a gas stove was supposed
TO have a large percentage Of the
fuel cost the agent would call on a
neighbor and inquire If she knew
the person previously solicited.
Finding that she did know her. he
would state that she had ordered
several of the gas savers and had
ordered them delivered at the neigh
boris house. In this manner he
managed 70 collect for several of
the appliances though no orders
had been given.
Little is known of the mans oper-
atoms though IL is thought that he
has been in the city for some time.
The Burnall is supposed TO be man
ufactured by the Sterling Manufac-
turing Co. Of Benton HarbOr, Mich.

MAN 81 YEARS OLD
FOUND DEAD IN BED
Daniel Mcdaniel of 1903 Iiston ST.
is Accidental Victim
OF Gas.

Daniel Mcdaniel. a palsied old
man of 81 years, who has been liv-
ing with John c. Callahan, 1903 Lis
ton St, for the past 10 years. was
the victim of accidental asphyXiation
last night according 10 the report
submitted by Coroner Swantz fol-
lowing his preliminary inquest held
Tuesday morning.
Mcdaniel was found in bed in his
room by another roomer. Robert
Xavier. late in the morning. The
room was filled with fumes of gas
and the jet on the wall was partly
turned on. 1t was found that he
had retired at the usual hour Mon
day night but when he did not arise,
Xavier went TO the room to investi-
gate.
Though very nervous and palsied,
he was able to be about and take
care of himself. IL is thought, how
ever. that when he reached to turn
off the light before going to bed he
nervously turned back the key far
enough to permit the gas to escape
into the room.

One Time City Hall.

Besides being used as an acad-
envy OF music and as a theater, the
building was, for a time. the city
hall of South Bend. During the
years Edward Fogarty was mayor,
until the latter part of 1903. when
the new city hall building was erect
ed, the business of the city was
transacted at that address. The
vault used by Manager Chapman
was the same as that used by the
city. 1t is large depository and
extends through the building down
10 the basement. Mr.. Chapman
said last night that the support of
the vault probably kept the interior
of the building from coilapsing.
Haines Egbert, owner, a Goshen
man. had leased the building to Ga
briel Summers, who also owned the
fixtures. Mr.. Summers had $4,000
insurance on his property.

PYLE LIKELY To
ANNOUNCE SOON
States That if He Does Enter
Race His Platform Will be
Law Enforcement.

Attorney Dan Pyle, an unexpected
third candidate in the race for the
democratic nomination for the ma
yoralty. is expected TO make a de-
finite announcement OF his candi-
dacy within the next few days Mr.
Pyle said Tuesday that he had been
urged 10 come out for the nominal
ton, that his friends had been work.
ing for sometime building UP an or
ganization for him and that he prob
ably would be ready to make his de-
cision in a short time.
Mr.. Pyle's campaign, if he comes
out for the nomination, will be bas-
ed strictly on law enforcement, he
said. Temperance and law enforce
ment, he stated, always have been
his policies and the carrying out of
campaign pledge.
Sometime ago Mr.. Pyle was made
18th district chairman of the dry
faction of the democratic party, but
the efforts of his friends to get him
in the mayoralty race have nothing
to do with the prohibition move
ment in the party. He said that the
first work for him i'm the city cam
paign was started nearly five months
ago and had been going on quietly
since then.
ROmine is Candidate.
Mr.. ROmine is one of the younger
attorneys of the city. He has been
practicing law here for a number of
years, having opened his office i'm
mediatedly after he completed his
course in law at Notre Dame, In
diana university and Washington
university at St Louis He is %
years old and has lived in South
Bend all of his life. He resides at
40 f. North shore drive and is we'll
known in the fourth ward. He has
been a prominent worker in the
ranks of the democratic party for
sometime.
While democratic candidates are
lining up for the fight in the pri-
maries. the republicans are sitting
idly by and have put up no candi-
dates whatever. Many prominent
republicans have been mentioned in
connection it'll the race, but none Of
them has come out with a definite
announcement of his candidacy
ollie A. Clark, manager of the
local Kable restaurants, seems to
be one of the most likely candidates
for the republicans. 1t is under
stood generally in democratic circles
that everything is all cut and dried
for Clark and that his mere an
nouncement means his nomination
for the Office.
