their usefulness are made into self
supporting and satisfied American citi-
zens. Here the man who has lost one
or both hands has been trained in
carpenter work and has developed in
to an expert cabinet maker, one hun

who has lost one or both limbs is

Prison doors have proved no obstacle
to the Salvation Army in its quest to
teach Americanism. Within these
walls where the most dangerous men
reside and where the lawless ele-
ment is predominant, the Army work
ers have visited some $4,000 of them
in the past year and approximately
5000. of them have turned over a new
leaf and have promised to lead Chris
tian lives
The Anti-Suicide Bureau composed
of every member of the Salvation
Army is enrolled in this work whereby
they strive to instill into the hearts
of men and women discouraged with
life through some misfortune a new
purpose in living and new hope for
better things. Thousands today are liv-
ing testimonials of the helping hand of
the Salvation Army in this respect.
The Missing Friends Bureau has
record of which it can be duly proud.
During the last year of the total of
1917 requests to find missing persons,
522 or more than 25% were found.
Many of them were united with their
relatives and are living now for the
betterment of their families and them
selves.
The story of the Salvation Army's
part in permanently rehabilitating the
modern Magdalene girls who have
gone wrong, stands out, stranger than
fiction, as one of its greatest achieve
ments. Twenty-siX Rescue Homes and
Maternity Hospitals, havens of refuge
to 2,300 girls annually, who come to
the only place where they can be sure
of a motherly welcome and protection
from a scornful world Girls from all
stations in life who without the as
sistance given them would scarcely
have any choice but the underworld
life or death are rehabilitated physic-
| ally, mentally and morally.

MAY BE AN issue WITH
COMING JUDICIAL
ELECTION

Bernard J. Mullaney is President of
the Jury Commissioners of Cook coun-
ty.
Bernard J. Mullaney is also Pub
licity Manager for the Peoples Gas
Light & Coke Company.
This simple coincidence it is said,
threatens to be a factor in next June's
Judicial election, according to City
Hall gossip.
Jury Commissioners are required to
prepare a list of electors qualified to
act as jurors, to select names from
such list and place them in jury box
and a grand jury box, and to be pres
ent when the names of Jurors needed
at each term of court are drawn.
The Jury Commissioners are ap-
pointed by the judges of the Circuit
court.
The full Circuit bench of twenty-one
judges will be elected in June, 1921
and will be somewhat more interesting
than usual on account of local political
conditions and a few other conditions
to be remedied.

New Chief Says That Main Duty

Chief F'itzmorris issued an order to
all members of his force, reading in
part as follows:
'The duty of the police department,

of crime. The department is efficient
to the extent that this is accomplished
and only to this extent.
''It is the duty of a patrolman to
know conditions and individuals upon

commanding officer and to take such
other action as he may be empowered

"It is the duty of patrol sergeants

BREEN SUCCEEDS
RIGHEIMER
New Assistant Corporation Coun-

James w. Breen has succeeded
County Judge-elect Righeimer as First
Assistant Corporation Counsel at a
salary of $4,000 a year
Mr.. Breen will be one of the Repub-
lican nominees for the Circuit court

elected he will have climbed from
comparative obscurity to a $4,000
judgeship in six years.
In 1915 Mr.. Breen was given a $4,000
year job as assistant corporation
counsel as a reward for his work in
the Thirtieth ward during Mayor
ThOmpsOn's campaign for mayor Two
years later he was raised to $4,000

Il am not going to spoil the record
of this receivership," said Judge Ian
dis, 'by permitting the bus company
to lose money l do not wish to ap-
pear coercive, but l am going to issue
an order that, unless the park board
changes its decision, all busses will
be withdrawn from service Nov. 30''
Under summer weather conditions,
it was stated, the upper deck is full
and the buSSeS are able to make
money. In the winter, however, all
the passengers ride inside, cutting the
receipts by more than half. 1t has
been the contention of the park board
that the addition of an upper roof
would necessitate the pruning of trees
lining the bOulevards.

Several Democratic Organizations Band
Together to Help Their Party to
Come Back to Winning Streak
Work Is Begun in Several Wards and Preparations
Made for Coming Spring and Judicial Elections

A strong organization called The
Democratic League of Cook County
has been incorporated at Springfield.
The Democratic league is to be an
amalgamation of the time honored
County Democracy, the Carey league,
the Sons of Chicago and the Irish
American club. The new organization
will have headquarters on the third
floor at 112 North La Sale street,
right opposite the mayors office,
which is said to be the ultimate goal
of its aims and aspirations.
Incorporators of the new Democratic
league include Robert Emmett Burke,
secretary, and Frank E. Davidson
president, of the County Democracy;
John NJ. Heaney, president of the
Sons of Chicago; John It. Murray,
John j. Clifford, DR.. Anthony Krygow-
ski, Archibald Couburn, John Kru-
beck. Fred NJ. Sturgeon, Louis Klank,
Edward j. Kelly and Fred c. Kellner.
Davidson was chosen president;
Heaney. secretary; Clifford, treasurer,
and Burke, chairman of the executive
committee Davidson is better known
as an architect than politician, being
president of the Chicago Society of
Architects.
I'VE intend to take an active part
in bringing the democratic party back
into the paths that lead to success"
declared Robert +. Burke today.
The headquarters of the new organ
ization are in the same office from
which Burke ran his independent cam
paign which came within a hair of
landing him the democratic nomina-
tion for United States senator at the
September primary, despite the oppo-
sition of the regular democratic organ
ization.
Il claim | won the nomination, but
was counted out in the 1st, 10th, 18th,
10Th. goth and 21st wards of Chicago"
continued Mr.. Burke. But, don't
think the new Democratic league is
an outgrowth of my primary fight last
September. The movement has deeper
roots than can center around any one
man. We start with a membership
considerably exceeding 1000, and our
first step will be to organize a
woman's auxiliary.
when the time comes we intend
to have a candidate for mayor. He
will be a live candidate, too, and a
leader behind whom the democrats
OF Chicago will be glad to rally. But
that is some way off, and for the
present we have no candidate at all.
We are going to devote our efforts to
improving the chances of future sue
cess for the democratic party in Chi
cago and Cook county"

CITY WANTS GAS
RATES LOWERED

Donald R. Richberg, counsel for the
city in its fight against higher gas
rates, filed 2SS page brief with the
public utilities commission in support
of his contention that rates should be
lowered instead of increased
Mr.. Richberg's brief contends that
the value of the gas company's prop
erty for rate making purposes should
not be set at more than $55,000,00O,
and that rate of return of per cent
should be allowed by the commission.
The fair return on the comapny's in
vestment is fixed at $3,S5O,0OO, which
would permit a gas rate of Slip per
thousand cubic feet
The company is contending for a.
rate of $1.46 and asks that the valua-
tion figure be fixed as S114.226,195.
and that an per cent rate of return
be allowed.

aldermen to private life, if it fails to

basis in time for next February's pri-

Assistant Corporation Counsel G. A.
Dahlberg, who is preparing the city

ward law, said he could not disclose
the conclusions reached until the
opinion has been formally prepared
for presentation to the council elec-
tions committee.
He said, however, that his study of
the law had convinced him that it
was put into effect when a majority of
the voters cast their ballots in it's ia
vor Nov. 2.
This dashes the hopes of some of
the aldermen that they could delay
the effective date of the law for a year
or more by failing to redistrict at
once on the fifty-ward basis. If the
law is in effect, council lawyers say

LINCOLN PARK BUS
SYSTEM MAY GO

Judge Landis has issued an ulti-

which has been in the hands of a
Federal receivership for some time.
Chicago's north side bus system will
go out of existence Nov. 80 unless the
Lincoln park board grants permission
in the meantime for the use of a
covered upper deck.
The ultimatum was issued on the
representations of Collin c. H. Fyffe,
attorney for the bus company
Mr.. Fyffe pointed out that the bus
company has succeeded in making
money so far, but declared it could
not continue to operate at profit un-
less it were permitted to install COW
cred tops during the winter. Other
wise, he said, the number of passen-
gers would not pay the cost of opera

The new law provides that elections

leaves the only point in question
whether thirtyfive or fifty aldermen
shall be elected next spring
