FLAT A MENACE TO CIVIC WELFARE. ' Rev. Rufus R. White, member of the Chicago board of education and pastor of the congregation over which the late Professor David Swing held sway during his lifetime, has discovered a menace to American citizenship In the growing tendency on the part of families to reside in rented flats rather than In their own homes. Rev. White gave expression to his conviction before the Chicago chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution Thursday. The clergyman's line of reasoning in arriving at this conclusion was not without good logic. "Most existing citizenship," said he, "is like the dictionary definition of a model 'a small imitation of the real thing." " An Important cause for this, the speaker reasoned, was the increasing number of what he designates as "homeless men, homeless women and homeless families;" in other words, of people who do not own their own homes. The ' speaker said: "I tell you it's a hard trick to live in another fellow's flat and be a good citizen. The family that lives on the north side one year, on the south side the next, on the west side tho third, and in Kankakee the fourth, isn't likely to produce ideal American citizens. "If I don't own a home in America, what do I care what the rate of taxation is? Of course I pay the taxes in the end, but the average man doesn't understand that. Robert Ingersoll never said a truer thing than when he said that 'No man would shoulder a musket and go out to fight in defense of a boarding house!" There is more truth than poetry in all thi3. Modern civilization has reached a point where the creature comforts mean more to the present human product than anythirig else. It is possible for these to be enjoyed at a less expense in flats than in homes. In fact a great many of the comforts that aro common to flat life, such as steam heat, and the attendant, "modern improvements" would be practically without the reach of people In rnoderate circumstances if there were no flat buildings. The man of the house would have to shovel snow and hustle ashes in the winter, there would be no hot, running water day and night, it would mean a trip upstairs to go to bed rather then an adjournment to the next room, and many other little inconveniences which modern life has taught everybody to regard as great nuisances. For the housewife it would mean a few more problems in the matter of tho running of the household machinery, but It is a question whether this should serve as an offset to the sentimental joy that arises from being master and mistress of one's own little castle. In families where there are children there is especially a sentimental side to take into account. A child whoso early years are spent in moving about from Dan to Eeersheba, Is deprived of something that can never bo made up to it in future years. "Tho old, old home," which has served as an inspiration to poeis since poetry began, has no part In this child's life. It is like robbing a child of his fairy talcs, only the robbery Is on a much larger scale. It is like telling him there is no Santa Claus. Only the influence throughout his life Is farther reaching. This, for the sentimental side. And the sentimental side has much to do with the character of the man and the woman in later life. As to the Influence of the hotel and boarding house on child life, it Is too hopeless and barren to even contemplate, though many children are forced to grow up under the unlovely Influences of these institutions, some from necessity, but more from a lack of the right spirit on the part of parents, for the best good of their offspring. As to the effect theso things have on the man and woman, even such as have enjoyed homes in their childhood, the boarding house illustration, as advanced by Colonel Ingersoll and the tax question as raised by Rev. White, serve as good suggestions and food for much serious thought. CRITICISM OF ROOSEVELT.

Timidly at first, speaking in generalities and with many qualifications, the criticisms of Roosevelt are daily growing more pronounced, specific and direct. Leaders in tho financial and business world are no longer expressing themselves by innuendo, and are not now mincing words. Tho effect will be salutary, when Prtsidont Roosevelt realizes that his position Is understood that all of his vigorous talks were merely bids for popular favor, and it at last dawns upon him that the sober second thought of the American people Is vastly to be preferred tn the hasty applause of the excited populace, he will descend from the pedestal erected to his vanity and self esteem. He will find much to reflect upon principally that the dignified, sensible attitude of his predecessors finds much more esteem with the people than pyrotechnic and sporadic flights and hasty impulses. THERE IS AX OPPORTUNITY for reputation making during the next session of congress. It may require courage, persistency and independence, but without these a "reputation" counts for but little. Is there in the Indiana delegation a man who can s. ize upon this great opportunity? We believe so.

BRADLEY DEFENSE 15

I THE FINAL STAGE Alienists Testimony All That Remains to be Heard in Trial. STRONG GABLE IS Loose Ends of Evidence Gathered Up Ready for Prosecution's Rebuttal Attack. Washington, D. C, Nov. 22. After a day filled with dramatic interest the defense, of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, on trial for killing ex-Senator Arthur Drown, practically was closed this afternoon, when court adjourned until Monday. Alienists will bo called to testify to Mrs. Bradley's mental condition. A question of 13,000 words, covering the entire case, will be asked each. Their testimony, it is expected, will be concluded in a few hours, and by Tuesday afternoon rebuttal evidence, both for the prosecution and defense, will have been heard. By this reckoning it is believed the fate of Mrs. Bradley will be intrusted to the Jury Wednesday night. A verdict of acquittal is expected by those who have followed closely the case as it has been developed in the courtroom. Defense Weaves Strong Cable. The proceedings today were what might be termed the final weaving together of many strands into strong cable. Mrs. Bradley's mother was recalled for the purpose of clearing up a point; several more Salt Lake witnesses were examined as to the conduct and bearing of Mrs. Bradley in that city; Mrs. Bradley's uncle, Lyman Shrewsbury of California, told of instances of insan ity and eccentricity in Mrs. Bradley's family. Judge H. P. Henderson, former law partner of ex-Senator Brown, narrated interviews with Mrs. Bradley concerning her relations with Brown, and a number of Brown's letters to Mrs. Bradley were read. Told Brown to Wed Mrs. Bradley. Assistant Attorney General Barnes of Utah told of having advised Brown to marry Mrs. Bradley and of being at once ushered out of Brown's office. He said he told the prisoner he did not think Brown intended to make her his wife. He considered her irrational on the subject of Brown. Judge Henderson testified that in his presence and that of Mrs. Bradley, Brown told his wife that she had been a curse to him and that he would not live with her. Brown, he said, told him he was "trying to get rid of Mrs. Bradley." Judge Henderson also considered Mrs. Bradly irresponsible on matters involving Brown. The judge testified further that Brown at times drank excessively and always was angry at some one. He Identified as Brown's handwriting the chirography of the note acknowledging the paternity of Mrs. Bradley's children. Uncle's Testimony Amuses. Shrewsbury's testimony amused the throng In the courtroom. He said his wife was a sister of Mrs. Bradley's mother. He said his wife's father was "wrong In his head," and his wife often exhibited peculiar traits before her death in 1003. "She would often take a butcher knife to bed," he said, "and was always ready to fight anybody even me." On cross examination he said his wife's "spells" would come on when she learned of women riding In the stage with him. Samuel A. King of Salt Lake City, and Miss Anna A.

AMUSEMENTS

EZRA KENDALL TO APPEAR AT TOWLE'S OPERA HOUSE. The most comprehensive and thorough tour of Indiana ever made by a theatrical organization is being tnade by Ezra Kendall in his new play by George Ade. "The Land of Dollars." Kendall himself is a native of Indiana, as is also Mr. Ade, and in their state they are looked up with an awe and admiration only a little less than that accorded the gods. Consequently every loyal son of Indiana is "rooting" for tho success of the two famous sons and their progress is being made of as much Importance as the tour of a presidential candidate. More than twentyfive of the cities of Indiana are being visited, and at each of them the date of Kendall's appearance Is being set aside as a holiday with almost as much unanimity as the Fourth of July or Christmas are observed. Arrangements were made by the railroads to run excursions to all larger cities such as Indianapolis, Evansville, Terre Haute and South Bend, and in some of the places the trolley companies also arranged for special service for their outlying districts. The list of Indiana cities he will play and has already played in are as follows: Michigan City, Oct. 27. Fort Wayne, Oct. 2S. Logansport. Oct. 29. Connersville. Nov. 5. Anderson. Nov. S. Indianapolis, Nov. 7. 8 and 3. Noblesville. Nov. 11. Kokomo, Nov. 12. Lafayette, Nov. 13. Muncie. Nov. 14. Franktfort, Nov. 15. Brazil. Nov. 15. Washington, Nov. 18. Columbus. Nov. 19. Terre Haute, Nov. 20. Evansville. Nov. 21. Vincennes, Nov. 22. Princeton. Nov. 23. Marion, Nov. 23. Goshen, Nov. 26. Elkhart. Nov. 2 7. South Bend. Nov. 2S Hammond. Dec 1. LaPorte, Dec. 2. Richmond. Dec. 3. Special to Lake County Tlmea.) Michigan City, Nov. 22. Ezra Kendall in a rich comedy in three certified checks on the Bank of Laughter, opened here at the Grand opera house before an audience that filled it to its utmost capacity and which long before the first act was over were laughing so hilariously as to be in danger of a paroxysm. George Ade, the Indiana humorist, is the author of Kendall's play, the title of which is "The Land of Dollars," and in this comedy Mr. Ade has outdone himself and when one remembers that he is the author of "The College Widow," "The County Chairman," "Artie" and "The Sultan of Sulu." the delights of "The Land of Dollars' may be easily Imagined. A large party of prominent Chicago theatrical and newspaper men attended the opening here and they were as unanimous In their delight at the per forraance and their certainty of its sue cess as were the theatre-goers of Michigan City. As Ben Gridley, a millionaire who

had sacrificed his health to the pursuit of wealth until, as he plaintively said: "A tramp had an ample surplus of what I needed an appetite," Mr. Kendall has a role which is far in advance of any lie lias ever previously portrayed. There is a virility, dignity and a seriousness about Gridley which makes Mr. Kendall vastly different from the jester and punster which the rublic have grown accustomed to regarding him. and shows that he is a s-plendid actor as well as fun-maker. There is a plot to the play which in unconventional and grips one with an absorbing interest, so great that the humor and laughter, thickly interpolated as it Is, cannot distract attention. The first act takes place at a country hotel at New Boston. Gridley. suffering from indigestion brought on from overwork in the pursuit of dollars, has deeded his property to an unsempulous nephew and is trying to recover it. Quaint. humorous village characters drawn with the humor which only GVrge Ade can conceive

and supplied by him with lines which sparkle with wit and laughter, are Gridley's neighbors, and each has con fided in the "millionaire pauper," as he calls himself, his or her pet ambition in life. As the act closes, Gridley recovers his fortune and declares that he will gratify everyone's slighest wish, and that he is from now on going to work as hard spending money ai he formerly worKed to make It. In the second act he has taken them all to Altantic City, and the things which happen to rural visitors in that hotbed of noise and excitement, are shriekingly funny as any situations which have ever been put upon the stage. Throughout the fun a plot develops of intense dramatic interest which is consummated in the third act where Mr. Kendall appears so tender, so honest, such a true and fine man that he wins all hearts, including that of a woman with whom he has been In love for many years, and whose son he saves from crime and ruination by his kindly generosity. The company supporting Mr. Kendall is a splendid one and is headed by Miss Eleanor Barry, for the past three years -leading woman with Richard Mansfield. The Harry Askin Co., Kendall's managers, have given the piece a magnificent production, and John Siapleton, who staged "Checkers," "The Virginian," "The Heir to the Hoorah," end other notable successes, produced "The Land of Dollars.' AT TOWLE'S T0NGHT. "0 MOTHER TO GUIDE HER." Lillian Mortimer's well known production, "No Mother to Guide Her," will be the offering by the Imperial Stock company at the Towle tonight, and another large audience may be expected if the usually big advance eale counts for anything. The play is brim full of excitement, abounds in situations and climaxes of a most thrilling nature, besides introducing a number pi picturesque characters. The cyclone

scene in the second act is said to be of the "real" kind, and leaves nothing to the imagination. The matinee bill the beautiful five act drama, entitled "Her Husband's Sin," which was presented to an enthusiastic audience on Wednesday night. Aside from Its being an intensely interesting storv it teaches a great moral lesson and cannot fail to impress the most blase.

"TJIK CIltL OK TIIK SI XXY SOUTH. A story of intense heart interest capital comedy scenes, quaint southern humor, old-time negro plantation melodies and stirring climaxes, Is the dramatic essence of the latest of southern comedy-dramas, "The Girl of the Sunny South." This play is from the pen of the well known and successful playwright, Travers Vale, and is considered by the critics of dramatic literature to be his masterpiece. The dialogue scintillates with brigh tcomedy and the various exciting climaxes are tea up to in a most natural manner. The scenic effects, which show the old plantation during cotton picking time the interior of a Georgia prison with a change to the city by night, and the old plantation In winter, are realistic mm picturesque at tne TOW18 opera house on Thanksgiving day, Thursday Nov. zs. Matinee and night. Edith Warren, the charming comedienne, has a most congenial role in that of Katie Searelle, the pet of the plantation. AT THE CALUMET THEATRE.

Both attractions are comedy dramas with musical numbers. One of the most striking novelties promised to the patrons of the Calumet theatre during the present theatrical season, is the new comedy drama with music. "Anita, the Singing Girl," with Eva Westcott in the stellar role, supported by a cast of dramatic and musical comedy artists of note, supported by a cast of ferr,ic;ne chorus, the chorus numbering 25 in alL The blending of a charming comedy drama and its romance, heart interest and melodramatic tension, with the lighter diversions of musical comedy Is a novelty that Is said to have made this attraction a decided success from the start. Joseph Hortiz. one of the world's sweetest tenor singers and a well known composer will be seen in the production of "Our Friend Fritz".

Bill Papks, the Spring Valley middle-weight, made short work of his task of stopping Charley Haghey of Lowell and Bartley Connelly of Portland inside of five rounds each at the Winnialmmet Athletic club in Chelsea tonight. tm Haghey concluded after one Minute and fifty-five seconds of fighting that he had taken enough of Papke W wallops and quit. Connelly displayed great gameness, but after two minutes and fifty-five seconds of the fourth round had been fought his seconds jumped into the ring and farced him to stop. As soon as the bell sounded Papke went right after Haghey, and in about half a minute tho latter went to the floor from a right to the jaw. He stayed on one knee for the count of njne, and, getting to his feet, shot a right to Papke's head. The latter tore into him, and with a left and right on the jaw Haghey again went down. As soon aa Haghey got to his .feet Papke let go another haymaker, but Charley refused to receive it, and again went to the floor. At the count of nino he was again on his feet and started to let go a right, and the Lowell boy once more went to the floor. He stayed there till counted out. Like a king waiting for another victim to be brought before him, Papke remained in his corner ten minutes for Connelly to come Into the ring. Papke lost no time In going after Connelly when the gong 'rounded, and from the way he landed rights and lefts on the body and face, the fans did not believe Connelly would last the round out. In the fourth round Connelly showed great gameness. He was sent to the floor several times, but he did manage to get his right over to Papke's face occasionally. With about five seconds to go In the fourth round the seconds of Connelly saw it would be cruel to let him remain in the ring any longer, so they Jumped In and forced him to stop. arrestTaborleaqers Havana, Nov. 22. Members of the executive committee of the Federation of Labor and others taking part in the labor movement to the number of 205 were arrested this afternoon and lodged In Jail by order of Judge Miyeres. His action was taken In view of the many charges of violence and Intimidation by the strikers. Offenses of this kind culminated yesterday in the etonlng of some masons, one man being killed. Judge Miyeres ordered the pecrtt police to arrest the members of the committee and all others present at the labor meeting, it being his theory that the latter would be there to receive orders as to whom they were to atiacK. Eight secret police went to make the arrest, but finding so many involved, invoked the aid of the municipal police. It took three hours to transport the prisoners to the police station in patrol wagons, where tfcey were locked up for the night. ... The prisoners represent all tne efferent labor unions, but most of tha are delegates of the striking railroad men and masons. President Alfonso of the railway employes' union is among the prisoners. When the police arrived the meeting had not been formally opened, but they nevertheless proceeded to arrest every one present. Manuel Seeades, attorney for the federation, tonight advUed ail laborers to obey the law and to submit to the police.
