SOUTH SIDERS IN
STHEETCRUSME
Delay in Starting Improvement
of Moreland and Georgia
Avenues Vexes Citizens.
The south side mass meeting last
night in the old city hall, called in the
interest of the boulevard from West
End to Grant park project, took on a
decided political color.
Aiderman John E. McClelland, can
didate for mayor, charged that the
boulevard work had been postponed by
the city and county officials In order
that Moreland avenue, the street, on
which Councilman Aldine Chambers,
also a candidate for mayor, lives, and
Ivy street might be improved first. Ai
derman McClelland was much agitated
during his speech.
< ouncilman Chamberts and County
Commissioners S. B. Turman and Shel
by Smith were earnest, in their denials
of the charge. Councilman Chambers
declared that the improvement of More
land avenue, a street in very bad con
dition, had been decided upon in an
open meeting of council. All the offi
cials said that the south side boulevard
work would be done as soon as prac
tical.
Only a fair-sized crowd was present.
All other subjects but the south side
boulevard were barred from discussion.
It was shown that the greater part of
the $9,000 appropriated to begin the
boulevard work had been spent in
building underpasses at the junction of
Glenn street and the Southern and Cen
tral railroads. The regrading and re
paving of Georgia avenue is included in
the project. The improvement was de
cided upon by council in 1910.
The property owners expressed their
dissatisfaction at the slow progress of
the work, however, and appointed a
committee of ten members from each
of the Second, Third, Seventh and
Tenth wards to go before the streets
committee of council this afternoon and
urge more dispatch in the work. R. R
Otis was made chairman of the com
mittee.
RESCUED FROM CAISSON,
DIES FROM GAS FUMES
CHICAGO. Aug. 30.—-Thomas Burke, a
caisson worker, died from the effects of
gas fumes after he had been rescued in
a spectacular manner from the bottom of
an 80-foot well in the excavation of the
New Continental and Commercial Bank
building here.
Lieutenant John T. Monahan, of the
Chicago tire department, donned an oxy
gen helmet, descended into the caisson,
and. while more than a thousand persons
looked on, rescued the unconscious man.
Women who bear children and re
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems In advance of baby’s
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its pre-natal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy Is so truly a
help to nature as Mother’s Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. It relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes pliant and elas
tic those fibres and muscles which
nature is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the inflam
mation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mother’s
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mother’s
Friend assures a speedy and complete
recovery for the mother, and she is
left a healthy woman to enjoy the
rearing of her
child. Mothers
Friend is sold at U&OtlitSl 3

“History” Tells Court Roosevelt Will Win
T. R. SEER SENT TO JAIL
“History” says that Theodore Roose
velt will be the next president of the
United States.
This is neither ancient nor modern
history, as found in the libraries and
current literature, but just plain old
every-day human history. In other
words, “History” is the familiar term
by which Zachary T. Hall, a remark
able negro character, for years has
been known to students of the Univer
sity of Georgia,
“History” worked about the universi
ty until about three years ago, and
gained his soubriquet from the fact
that he can reel off the history of
prominent men and events by the hour,
giving names, dates and all important
data.
“History” made his Roosevelt pre
diction as he faced Recorder Pro Ton
Preston in police court. He had fallen
into the toils by reason of the fact that
he has been without a job during the
past few weeks and has been seen too
frequently by the police in the streets.
He was up for idling and loitering.
Judge Preston had heard of the ne-
BIG MILLER HELD
FOH CONSPIRACY
w
Woolen Manufacturer Surren
ders to Charge of “Planting”
Dynamite in Strike.
BOSTON, Aug. 30.—William M.
Wood, president of the American Wool
en Company, one of the largest woolen
millers in the United States and the
most prominent figure in the recent
textile strike in Lawrence, who had
been indicted, surrendered today to an
swer a charge of conspiracy to plant
the dynamite that was found in Law
rence at the time of the strike for the
purpose of discrediting the cause of
the strikers. Detectives had been
searching for Wood for two days. His
attorney arranged for his appearance
at the district attorney’s office.
The indictment of Wood caused a
tremendous sensation in textile and
other business circles.
Wood was the most prominent of the
four men indicted by a special Suffolk
county grand jury for the planting of
dynamite in Lawrence. Wood lives
with his wife and three children at
Andover. His Boston offices are at 82
Devonshire street.
The indictment of Wood and the
other three men, two of whom are
prominent in the textiff world, fol
lowed the suicide of E. W. Pitman, a
big mill builder and an Andover neigh
bor of Wood, who was also in the dyna
mite conspiracy, it is declared, and
whose admissions to District Attorney
Pellethier led to the grand jury investi
gation.
Rather than appear before the grand
jury in response to a summons and tell
what he knew about Wood and hfs
other friends in the conspiracy Pitman
ended his life by siting a bullet into his
brain.
Mr. Pellethier got the information
for the indictments of the "men higher
up" from Pitman and from John J.
Breene, the Lawrence undertaker, who
was fined SSOO in the Salem court for
placing the dynamite where- it was
found.
ANNUAL LOSS THROUGH
HEN FRUIT IS $45,000,000
V ASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—Improper
handling of eggs is responsible for an
annual loss of the huge sum of $45,000,000.
according to department of agriculture
experts, who have been Investigating the
egg-smashing business.
This enormous loss is due to small eggs,
cracked and broken eggs, dirty, stale
and rotten eggs. The improper handling
is a loss to farmers, middlemen and con
sumers alike, say the experts .and they
urge everybody to get busy and institute
reforms which will do away with It.

gro and his wonderful memory, and en
tertained the police court audience by
asking the negro numerous questions
concerning men and events in the
United States and even other nations.
"History" had a ready response for
every question, and so far as those in
the court room could tell answered
every oqe correctly.
“I suppose you can also foretell fu
ture events." suggested the recorder. “1
would be glad if you will tell us who
will be the next president of the United
States.”
"Teddy Roosevelt,” came the quick
reply.
Judge Preston then sentenced the ne
gro to serve eleven days in the stock

Whether “History” will repeat him

WINS GIRL HE SAVED
IN THE CORONATION
CRUSH IN LONDON
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—When the
Minnehaha, of the Atlantic Transport
line, arrived at her pier, a young wom
an ran down the gang-plank and threw
herself into the arms of a stalwart
young man, while the passengers
cheered.
Noel Deerr, a young English sugar
planter living in Hawaii, went home for
the coronation of King George. He was
standing in a London crowd when a
scaffolding behind him began to give
way. The people swayed and pushed.
He heard a scream, and seeing a girl in
the crush lose her footing, caught her
up and. exerting all his strength, swuftg
her to a place of safety. The yjoung
woman thanked her rescuer and asked
his name. A few days later Mr. Deerr
received an invitation to a reception,
where he was formally introduced to
Miss Rhoda Wilson. When Deerr re
turned to Hono'ulu the couple kept up a
correspondence
Miss Wilson and Mr. Deerr will be
married at* once and will then leave
for Honolulu.
