Bar Childless Families
Methodists Plan 5000, 900
House With Playground
on the Roof
Special Correspondence

Speclc4 Correspondence
DETROIT, April 7.-Detroit Mctho-
dists are going to place a premium on
children. They are going to do it in a
practical way by erecting a 100000
anartment house from which childless
families will be barred. 1t will be
under control of the state organization
for the Methodist Missionary Cen
tenary.
This announcement was made Satur-
day bv Dr. John G. Benson, executive
secretary of the Detroit area. who said
plans include q completely equipped
playground on the roof. 1t is the first
project started in the centenary $685.
00O. 900 campaign for world reconstruc-
ton.
"An apartment house in the heart of
3 crowded city is not the best place to
rear children" said DR.. Benson "But
there are thousands of families whose
force them to live in
such places.
The apartment house owner refuses
to permit families with children to
occupy his building. Possibly they
have some argument on their side, but
do know the children should be cared
for, and that is what we are going to
do No family without children will be
permitted in it. A premium is to be
placed upon children"

Milo Pico, New Tenor, Makes
Unheralded Appearance at
the Metropolitan

"LAmore DEF ire Re" was repeated
last night at the Metropolitan with a
new manfredo in Milo Pico. Sgnor
Fico it is understood had already been
engaged as member of the company
for next season, but the continued in
disposition of Thomas Chalmers rem
dered it necessary to put forward his
appearance. He will probably be a
useful member of the company, though
the volume of his tone was inadeouate
to contend with Montemezzi's heavy
orchestration. IN lyric part he ought
to be more successful, as the quality
Of the voice is pleasing and firm in

Coxey Is Here to
Form Wet Army for
March on Capital
General" Who Besieged
Washington in 1894 Sees
Danger of Bolshevism;
Referendum Is First Aim

General" Jacob s. Coxey, hero of
the siege OF Washington by the army
Of the unemployed" in 1894, is billeted
at the Waldorf Astoria and is laying
his plans to organic another army to
move on the national capital and
storm Congress if it doesn't repeal the
constitutional amendment for nation
wide prohibition.
The General" is going to turn the
country back to the vets, army or no
army. He's going to bring it about by
getting constitutional amendment
permitting the initiative and referen-
dunn. That accomplished, he will then
deluge Congress with petitions to
order a nationwide referendum on the
question of the repeal of the prohibi-
ton amendment.
The General" admits he is an anti
prohibitionist, but is more interested
in bringing about a national initiative
and referendum. What he is vitality
interested in to-day, as he was a quar-
ter of century ago, is his pet measure,
which he says will save the country
from Bolshevism. 1t is:
uDiIC DOuuS ana Market ROADS
Without Interest Will Give Immediate
Work to the Millions of Unemployed
Workers and Soldiers"
His proposition is identical with the
bill he had introduced in Congress in
1894, and which was the object of the
march of "Coxey's army" to Washing
ton at that time.
"How do you expect to overcome the
opposition of banks to this non
interest bearing proposition ?" he was
asked.
"Say," he replied, "if this isn't done
pretty soon there won't be any banks
months, and they tell me that Bolshe-
vism and revolution are fomenting in
every part of the country. l wouldn't
be surprised to see it break out any
time.
"I've talked with big business men
since last December trying to get them
to accept a reasonable profit and re-
duce prices so reconstruction can set
in. If they won't do it, then the time
has arrived for the government to let
the states and communities issue non
interest paying bonds to work these
plants and set this great army Of un-
employed to work"
General" Coxey said he had asked
William j. Bryan to test his sincerity
in advocating the initiative and refer
endum by joining forces with him to
brigg it about now, and in fairness to
all, try it out on the prohibition issue.
The request was made March o.
General" Coxey hasn't received a re-
ply:
Funds to carry on the work are com
ing in. General" Coxey showed a
letter from John Z. McBowman, of the
Biltmore Hotel, enclosing a check for
$500. He says he will open his ac-
counts to the public any day.

ChalOner's Libel
Case Is Delayed;
To Start To-day
Former New Yorker Anx-
ious to Prove Commission
That Adjudged Him In
sane Made a Mistake

John Armstrong Chaloner, poet and
farmer, who for the last two decades
has been New York's most famous
exile, will appear as witness in the
Federal District Court to-day, when
the 100000 libel suit which Mr.. Chal-
oner has instituted against All after
noon newspaper opens before Federal
Judge DIETRICH. of Idaho.
Mr.. Chaloner said last night, at the
Brevoort Hotel, where he is staying,
that he is delighted to think that his
case will be heard by New Yorkers.
He said he was anxious for the people
of his own city to learn that the lunacy
commission which adjudged him N
sane in 1897 made serious mistake.
II am rejoiced," he said last night,
that at last shall be able to get the
merits of my case before q New York
court Another cause for thanks Is
the interest my old friends are taking
in me. George II. Barnes and Oliver
K. Hand, classmates at Columbia, were
among the old acquaintance who came
to see me to-day"
He was disappointed when his case
was not reached yesterday.
After leaving the Federal Building
Mr.. Chaloner stood for some time in
City Hall Park, which he compared to
a great Roman forum.
Il think the Municipal Building and
the other great structures that have
been erected since l left New York
have created a fit setting for the his
toric old City Hail." he said. "New
York is certainly the greatest city the
world has ever known. Rome in the
height of its splendor could not COM
pare to this"
Mr.. Chaloner then rode for the first
time in New York subway, which he
described as "a delightful place" He
compared it to the London tube, and
said it was superior in every way. The
raeson the subway delighted him so
much, he explained, was because there
was no smoke and plenty of good air

HOW TO SAVE ON SHOES

"Out of curiosity | tried a pair of
Neolin Soles," writes w. p. Mccartney
of St. Louis, land today. after five
months of hard service fail to notice
any real signs OK wear on them"
This statement points the way to
real economy in shoes. What your
shoes cost. by the year, depends largely
on how the soles wear and Neolin Soles
do wear very long time. Moreover,
they are exceedingly comfortable and
overwhelmingly made to be
exactly what soles should be and so
worn now by millions.
They are available everywhere on
new shoes and for residing. They are
made by The Goodyear Tire G. Rub
Der Company, Akron, Ohio. who also
make Wingfoot Heels. guaranteed to
outwear any other heels.
