In their letter the men told him that they considered that with the formation of a new republic in Russia ,vthe time would be an ideal one to. found such an institution for the. homeless chill dren 4;4 s
 It was sixteen years ago that MT. Klingberg took several children into his own home and gave them a place to live. From that time until the present day he has continued the work, each year depending on his prayers and the people Of the country over for support. The first real home was opened on Barnett street and since that time there has been steady growth in the number. of cl1il- dren taken in. At the present time there are four homes in different sec- tions of the city. One is located on Corbin avenue, one on Rackliffe Heights, one on Arch street and one on Hart street. For the past few years Mir. Klingberg has been trying to raise money to build :. a main home on Rackliffe Heights and all ready the plans have been prepared.
 While MT. Klingberg has always been able to maintain the home in a fairly good style the people of the city have never given the support to the institution that it deserves. If he should make a decision to go to a foreign land to work on the orphan home, the city would lose. one of it's most valuable citizens and for this reason 1t is expected that every effort will be made to have him stay.

kAlSER'S AUTHORITY RECEIVES HARD BLOW Imperial Chancellor Must Approve Ordinances and
 Decrees in Future.

Amsterdam, via London, May 5.-A restriction of the power of the Ger man emperor has been decided upon by the constitution committee of the Reichstag, according to despatch from Berlin. The committee has de- cided to alter Article VII of the in- perial constitution as follows:
 Ordinance and decrees of the kaiser will be issued in the name of the empire and will require for valid ity the counter signature of the in- perial chancellor or his representa- tive, who thereby assumes responsibil- ity to the Reichstag."
 The committees decision was in ac- cord with joint proposal by the cen terists, nationals and progressives. Four conservative members voted against the change.
 The comm1ttee also adopted a resolution by the same proposers de- manding . bill fixing the chancellors responsibility for any violation of his ofacial duty and the verificaton of such violation by 9 senate tribunal. Dr.. Karl Heflferich, secretary of the interior. told the committee that a definite statement in regard to his at- titude could not be expected from him. He said thatsit would be only pos sible after a federal council had de- fined its position.

 sons i'm America.
TRI-COLOR IND OLD GLORY

Chicago, May 5.-Joseph Jacques Jonre. Marshal of France. has smiled his way into the heart of Chicago and the middle west. Not understanding English, he met throngs which beeet the French mission on it's every turn today with .smi1e-and 1t was with this smile illuminating his face that he stood before the mass meeting last night after it had clambred for an expression from him, and entwined two small flags. the trf-color of France and the star spangled banner of the United States.
 M. Viviani, minister of Justice. and head of the mission, was acclaimed no less enthusiastically. His appeal to his American brothers ito come under your glorious banner to fight for the democracy of the world, to show our men that when the rights of a single nation are violated, the rights of all nations are trampled under foot" drew round after round of applause.
 In the address made at dinner to the commissioners, M. Viviani toasted the president of the United States. Lafayette. he said brought back from America many ideals which are now dear alike to Frenchmen and Ameri- cans. n
 eff we had our doubts as to the justice of our cause.''' he added, Eve should not have doubted any longer, when, gazing across the vast expanse of sea. we saw all thinking Americans turning to our side and, so far as they could. by their sympathy, by the benefits they showered on the heads of our dying. our orphans, prove to us the ardor of a sympathy. which, in those tragic hours, raised and lifted us above our very selves.
 Toast to the President.
 In the message of MT. Wilson in com parable in its grandeur and nobil- ity and which went to the heart of France your illustrious president made. manifest the idaag of America. He them too maxnifac facantly for mo to express them. in turn. But when I speak Of democratic ideas, when speak Of violated rights to be avenged, of the sufferings endured by, those who have fought for liberty anc can only be repaid by victory, I can not do better to symbolize my thoughts, to give them concrete form, than to raise my glass in honor of the illustrious president of the United States
 When he spoke many Chicagoans saw a. good omen in the discovery of . cloud in the zenith which seemed to form the American flag. The flag was composed of six white stripes all ternating with the blue of the sky. In the upper left corner was a field of stars. The flag resembling a huge banner unfurled. waxed with realism for about ten minutes before dissipat- ing.
 A strenuous day marked with a mi1- itary air was ahead of the distin- guished visitors today. Following a motor trip over the boulevards. with a visit to the art institute. a military pa rade was arranged in honor of the guests.
 IA reception and luncheon at the university of Chicago were followed by an afternoon mass meeting at the stock yards.

Washington. May 5.-Prevailing re- tail prices of anthracite coal are un- warranted and the supply for next season is adequate, the federal trade commission stated today in a pre- liminary report based on partly com- .plete investigation ordered by con. gress last winter. The commission warns consumers against buying larg- CT quantities of coal than usual this summer. saying there are symptoms now of such . buying panic as that which enabled speculators last win- ter to force prices above normal. No good reason exists. says the report, why prices should not be subject to the usual su4nmer discount, but eff the public is Asain 50 deceived as to indulge in scramble for coal the favorable situation may be nullified."
 VIII Exposc Alarmists.
 The commission Is keeping in close touch with the anthracite situation and promises to '.expose any unscrup- ulous wholesaler, jobber or retailer who seeks to mislead the public into a belief that exhorbitant prices arc justffiable or that there is any neces- aity to join In frenxied bidding to secure immediate delivery for far fu- ture needs.''
 The United Mine Workers new wage scale. which went into effect last week. increases production cost hetween 24 and 30 cents ton and .'is 2 beneflcial and steady factor in. the industry" says the commission. Leading operators prices at the mine for May provide for this wage in- crease. and stthere b no Justification for . larger increase to be passed on to the consuimer.

 "2-The imperative need for keep ing coal moving from the point of pro- duction to its final destination, and of preventing coal cars from being held out of use for the purpose of speculative storage.
