TEACHER PLIGHT

SERIOUS DAILY
Chicago Seeks Huge Fed
eraI Loan to Relieve
Educators.

By United Press
CHICAGO, June 10.-RequeSt of
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
funds to relieve Chicago's municipal
finance crisis today drew attention
to the increasingly serious plight OF
the $4,000 unpaid public school
teachers.
Mayor Anton j. Cermak confen'ed
today with five Chicago banks ask
ing cooperation in obtaining loan
from the federal reserve construc-
ton agency.
The largest and most pressing
need for loan is to cover the
$40 100000 owed the teachers in back
pay, but the city government would
welcome loan up to $150,000,000.
If the finance corporation rules
against making a direct loan to the
city, Cermak wished the banks to
borrow from the corporation and re-
loan to the city. A similar device
was used in Charleston, S. G.
That want and misery is wide
spread among the teachers was en-
phasized today by President Agnes
B. Clohesy of the elementary teach
ers' union. Since year ago last
April teachers pay days have been
infrequent. Now, Miss Clohesy
pointed out, teachers face a second
successive vacation with empty
pockets and staggering debts.
Hunger and want are increasing
daily among the teachers" she said.
For nearly a year and half they
have been under terrific strain and
many have reached the breaking
point. Each day brings new cases of
suffering among the teachers.
Except for infrequent fragmen-
tary salaries, teachers have gone

United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 10. - Three
fourths of the 500 speakeasies in
Chicagos loop closed today.
Not a barrel of beer was hauled
into the loop. Many patrons who
never before had known what it
meant to 20 without a drink when
thirsty in Chicago could not find a
bar open.
Visitors to the Republican con-
vention need not change their
drinking plans, however. Proprietors
who darkened their saloons and
beer parlors today were merely
playing safe. They will reopen
about the time the Republican
leaders open their convention, and
start the battle over a resubmis-
sion plank.
Fear Early Raids
An underworld chief who knows
the inside workings of the liquor
and beer business here, told the
United Press why the speakeasies
closed.
"Proprietors figure they would be
foolish to risk being raided with
only four days to go before the big
show starts" he said. "A raid now
would shut off any chance of getting
in on the boom in trade we expect
to start next week"
Prohibition Administrator Malachi
L. Harvey of the Chicago district
has 1877 federal agents on the job.
They have been raiding quietly. but
Systematically. It was fear of these
agents that caused all but $50 drink
ing places in the loop to bar their
doors. The $50 that remain open
are mostly small places high in
Office buildings or otherwise well
hidden.
Prices Go Up
The United Press informant es-
timated that guests who stay in the
fifteen big Loop hotels will drink
10000 bottles of hard liquor every
day the convention lasts. This in
cludes pints of whisky, fifths of gin
and brandy and all other types of
liquor obtainable here.
Others will drink in some of the
10000 speakeasies scattered over the
city. If they drink beer, it will be
from bottles, if the speakeasy is in
the Loop. Only outlying places risk
bringing in anything as bulky as
barrels of beer now.
COincident with the eve of the
convention, liquor prices jumped
sharply. Cases of Scotch and bour-
bon whisky went from $40 and $85 to
sos and $110 Speakeasies had not
raised their rates so far.

DIAMOND DICK
 IS STILL ALIVE AND VERY HAPPY
Dr Richard Jerome Tanner Was the Original Pis- tOl Hero of Twenty Years Ago

Norfolk, Neb. oNvember 2s = (UP) = "Diamond Dick" whose trusty six-guns and unerring aim brought thrills to every youth of twenty years ago, was 63 years old today. Dr Richard Jerome Tar- ner, a quiet, mild-mannered medi- cal practitioner, the real Diamond Dick" sat in his pleasant home here and recalled the picturesque career on the fading frontier which inspired the famous Dime Novel Series.
 Diamond Dick" moved through the pages of those books in a pulse-quicken ening series of blood curdling adventures.
 Why" Dr Tanner recalled to- day. T never killed U man in my life - Indian or White. I never hunted buffalo. I was merely a rifle and pistol shot, and liked it."
 His chief claims to fame, he said. were his exploits as a great marks man and his rccord-breaking horseback ride from Lincoln, Neb. to New York city without change of horses.
 We had our bad men then anu we have them now" he said, "but I believe our 'baddest' men in the old days had greater honor than the gaRgsters in our cities now"

TEACHER LEADS
 l6O PUPILS TO
 SAFETY TODAY 
Principal Nellie A. Farrell of Providence AccOm- plished Fire Drill With- out a MiShap

Providence, R. l., Nov 29.-(UP) IA perfect understanding of child psychology enabled Principal Nell lie 4. Farrell to lead 160 pupils to safety without single mishap when fire damaged the Covill street grade school. an old three-story wooden structure in the Olneyvillc section.
 Informed by Miss Mary Tierney, d teacher that fire had broken out in the first floor above the fur mace, Miss Farrell sounded the fire alarm. Without hats or coats. the children in the various classes, ranging from seven to ten years in age, lined up to march into the school yard. They thought the signal was merely for q periodic fire drill and this belief was heightened by the fact that little smoke had penetrated above the basement.
 Principal Farrell fostered the H. 1usion that there was no fire. She iS also principal of the Amherst street school, a few blocks away, and as the unwary pupils marched from their classrooms and down tho staircases in orderly fashion sho informed them in calm tones that they were merely to be talk en io the Amherst street school for the remainder of the day. So IyIethodical was the exodus that all fhe children were safely in the SchooI yard by the time firemen arrived. Janitor Thomas Me- yinney meantime had succeeded in almost extinguishing the fire, caused by an overheated furnace.

on North Elm street. Creenberg, the plaintiff was appointed admin istrator of the estate and brought suit for s10.00O damages. In his arguments to-day, Mir O'Connor claimed he was not made acquaint- ed with the exact spot on which the deceased fell.
 Two policemen, Patrolmen Eli Bouianger and Daniel Namack, took the stand for the city as the defendants side commenced it's side of the case this afternoon. Both officers testified that the spot in front of 241 North Elm street on which Mir Smith fell. wasHn a safe condition for pedestrians. They identified pictures of the walk and surrounding buildings. Attorney George w. Crawford, appearing as counsel for the plaintiff, submitted the two policemen to light cross examination.
 The case is proving quite un- usual and interesting due to the circumstances surrounding 1t. It is the claim of the plaintiff that tho deceased met his death through in- juries sustained in fall on an al- legged defective sidewalk. The aged Negro's leg was broken in the fall and medical testimony for the plaintiff tied up the death of the Negro with the injuries resulting from the fall. They pointed out that the death was caused by thrombosis, formed by blood clots in the lung which resulted from the cast placed on the injured leg of the deceased. Smith died 10 days after receiving the fall.
 The case is expected to take the rest of this afternoon and part of tomorrow before completion. Judge Baldwin is expected to reserve de- cision on the case.

He kept the lad under watch at all times and noted that when he asked him to go downstairs for hammer the led would bring him saw or something else.
