HEALTH CLEARING HOUSE. Chicago and surrounding towns have organized a clearing house for the local boards of health, which perve in the various citi.-.s and suburbs. Hammond is within tho belt covered by the clearing house. So is Kast Chicago, Chicago Heights and C.ary. The latter, in fact, barely conies within the pale, for it constitutes one of the boundaries of the health belt which extends from the Steel City to Waukegan, and as far west as the Fox river district. The clearing houso is therefore of interest locally throughout the Calumet region. Tho benefit to be derived is mutual and is apparent upon the most superficial review of the provisions adopted. While the cities represented are under separate municipal governments, and even in different states and counties, they are inextricably dovetailed in matters of health because of the constant travel between the various points, especially Chicago and each outlying town and 6uburb. Thousands who make their homes within the suburbs, transact their business in Chicago. It is quite as possible for Chicago to be Infected by (in epidemic which lias its origin in one of its suburbs, as for the suburbs in question to be the victim of Chicago's epidemics and vice versa. The scarlet fever scare which broke out in Chicago last fall and lias not 3'et been stamped out in certain districts, notably South Chicago, was traced to a number of Wisconsin and northern Illinois towns. The milk from these places, which constitutes a considerable proportion in the Chicago supply, was discovered to be infected, and therein lay the seat of the trouble. In order, however, to make the bureau effectual and efficient, the members of the various health boards, which come under its provisions, must bear In mind their own responsibilities in the matter. They must be zealous and consciencious in making their reports, which are to be used for publication In the clearing house bulletins, ommltting no single case of a contagious disease which comes to their notice. P.y the same token the physicians who

practice within the boundaries of the health belt, must be mindful of their

own duty in the matter, for without their co-operation the health depart

ments will be powerless. It has been declared that the recent typhoid epi

demic In Hammond might at least have been modified, had local physicians attended to filing all the reports of typhoid cases with the board, and had tho latter done their part in the matter of warning the public against the dangers that menaced them. The establishment of a pest house for tho care of smallpox patients, in every community within the belt which is to be benefit by the clearing house, Is a feaure the wisdom of which cannot be questioned. GARY'S EXAMPLE TO HAMMOND. In view of the fact that tho city council positively refuses to provide the city with a patrol wagon. It would bo exceedingly handy to have the police station on wheels as it is in Gary, so that it could be moved to the reclining place of some hobo who refuses to go to jail without being carried there. A3 has frequently been remarked before, it is not an edifying spectacle to see an officer of the law carrying a booze soaked prisoner to the town bastile in a wheelbarrow. It must also bo admitted that it Is asking too much of a man who is earning $75 a month, traveling a beat to spoil his uniform by carrying some beer beslobered drunk to the station on his shoulders. The only solution of tho problem in view of the fact that the city dads can not sco their way clear to provido a patrol wagon is to put the jail on wheels and carry it around to the seat of all trouble, as Gary has done with its bastile. If the city officials will only act on this suggestion we may yet have the pleasure of chronicling the following interesting bit of news, or something similar to it: "A riot was started at tho Standard Steel Car company's plant this afternoon when two 'Ilunkies' demanded that they bo paid in cashiers" checks instead of real money. In a minute the street was full of people. Some one turned In a riot call and the response was immediate "Officer Hanlon left the city's lot with two horses hitched to the city hall. The daring driver whipped up Ids horses and the trip down Hohman street and Conkey avenue was made in the record-breaking time of ten minutes. "When the jail arrived at the scene of the riot the officers opened the door, placed the steps in position and then bravely drove the whole mob into the jail.

friends of Secretary Tuft had hoped to obtain for him the unanimous indorsement of Ohio. Tlds now will be impossible, provided Senator Foraker re

mains in tlie field until the convention actually votes. Tle senator says he will not withdraw under any circumstances and that his declaration means that lie is genuinely and honestly a

while the other aspirants will be backed by delegations from their native states instructed to give them support. Ae''l AiI of Committee. Mr. Foraker's letter is in the form

of a response to the resolutions adopted

by the advisory and executive committee of th; Ohio league of republican clubs at Columbus Nov. 20. The committee denounced the suggestion that Mr. Foraker tie forced into political oblivion and to emphasize its confidence in him, pledged him their support. for both the senate und the presidential nomination. When the action of the committees was announced, the Taft men retorted by pointing out a clause in the league's constitution which prohibits official indorsement of the cause of any political aspirant before he has been nominated by a properly organized convention. They further charged that the members of the committees owed their posts to "a friend of Senator Foraker," and the inference was plain that the "indorsement" was inspired. In agreeing to permit the league to support him for the nomination, Mr. Foraker shows he has a sense of humor.

In substance, lie tells the committees

that as he can't be a candidate for

both the senate and the White house.

he will accept support for the presi

dential nomination only. Haps It oo.se velt In Platform.

The platform of his candidacy which Mr. Foraker writes into his letter to the committee is his own record as a public man. Without naming President Roosevelt he indicates that he will stick to'his policy of "opposition"

to executive encroachment and dicta

tion."

The action of the committees, he

declares, is a flat rebuke to the sug

eestion that a United States senator

is a mere agent to register the decrees

of somebody else.

One hot shot, aimed apparently at Mr. Roosevelt, is that if the senatorship

"Is to be degraded into a mere agency

no self-respecting man can desire to

hold it."

Mr. Foraker also refers to "statutory demands of management and surveillance that are apparently framed on

the theory that all men are criminals.

WESTON BENEFIT TOMORROW. A vaudeville benefit will be tendered at the Garriek theatre tomorrow afternoon to Edward Payson Weston, the 69-year-old pedestrian who completed -eia ionk "hike" from Portland. Me., on

Wednesday. H is expected that there will be a great outpouring of Weston's admirers at the benefit, which is being arranged through the officers of the New Illinois Athletic club, the organization which is acting as Weston's host during his Chicago stay. On Monday Weston will go to Milwaukee with a delegation from the New Athletic club and will referee the

walk from Milwaukee to Chicago to be undertaken Tuesday by five members of the club on a wager. Jacob Sternad. Aaron Jones, William Johnson, Joseph Marshall and Leonard Wolf have bet $200 apiece with Peter Sehaefer that they will walk to Chicago in sixty hours. Weston called on Mayor Busse yesterday and paid many compliments to Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. SO. With a record of 375 conversions a week during an unbroken period of eight weeks, the Rev. R. A. Torrey, successor of Dwlght L. Moody as the leader of modern evangelism, will bring to a close tomorrow night his spectacular revival campaign in the "big .gospel tent" at North Clark and Chestnut streets. From the start the public interest has been unflagging. Night after night the spacious, canvas topped auditorium

has been the scene of striking conversions, in which scores of men arose in their places and expressed their desire to lead better lives. In the afternoon the meetings were attended by women for the most part, and the number of conversions was generally large. Two special meetings were held for children. At the first of these a juvenile throng numbering 4 6t5 made avowal of oonseereta tion for a Christian life. The second meeting for children was held yesterday afternoon, and

was equally successful. Thousand for Advertising. One of the most spectacular features of a highly spectacular campaign was the system of advertising done by the managers for Dr. Torrey. For this work a large sum of money was expended the official estimate being $11,000.

Among the features that were most consistently advertised was the series of noonday meetings for business men at the Great Northern theater. These meetings lasted only two weeks. But in so far as results are concerned it was the most successful work of the whole revival. "When we started we had only sixty business men in the Laymen's Evangelical association," said Andrew Steven

son, its president. "Now. we have 275. and most of the new members were won over at the noonday meetings downtown. We have colossal plans for future revivals in Chicago, but are not yet ready to announce them. It seems

assured that the Laymen's Evangelical association will be a permanent body." Statistic ot the Revival. Statistics of the revival are said to demonstrate that it has been the most successful campaign of the kind ever held west of the Alleghanies. Though the complete tabular statements can

not be supplied until after the final rally tomorrow night, the approximate estimates are expected to como close to the mark. Hero are the estimates given out yesterday by President Andrew Stevenson:

Converts 3.000

Number attending meetings... 300,000 Pieces of literature sent out ... 2,000,000 Dollars spent for advertising.. 11,000 Business men who have agreed to contribute to the evangelical association's revivals.... 275 Three Men to One Woman. "A uniquie development at this re

vival was that the men converts outnumbered the women three to one," said Mr. Stevenson. "In the campaigns of most other revivalists the women converts vastly outnumber the men. Dr. Torrey's conspicuous success with men demonstrates the Immense value of his common sense style of preaching."

Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 30. The only remaining obstacle to the closing of all local theatres on Sundays was removed yesterday, when Judge Smith McPherson dissolved the order issued recently forbidding the Sunday closing league from instituting actions in the courts. This decision leaves Judge Wallace, leader of the Sunday closing forces, free to order the raiding of all Sunday performances and, if the grand

jury so orders, managers and actors connected with last Sunday's shows may be arrested. The theatre people are not discouraged, however, and still declare the shows will go on as usual. If any of them are arrested the owners and managers will join in taking the case to the United States circuit court for a writ of

habeas corpus. ihey declare the law is not being broken. Lay rian for Proaecutlon. Judge Wallace, when he heard yesterday of the decision, began to lay plans for pushing the prosecutions. He may do this by ordering the county marshal to raid the theatres or to wait for indictments by the grand jury and the arrest of traveling players on warrants, thus preventing them from making the next week's engagements In the other cities.

DEWEY'S IMS FOUND Lieut. Crawford, Who Pretended Suicide, Located in the West. Washington, D. C, Nov. 20. Lieutenant John W. Crawford, eecretary to

Admiral Dewey, did r.ot commit filicide, as he pretended. Ho has been discovered alive in a western town and arrangements were made tonight for his apprehension. Because the man representing himself as Crawford has not been identified, the police authorities here are unwilling to give the name of the town in which he has been located. They are satisfied, however, that they have got hold of the right person, but to make sure they have arranged to get a photograph of him. He may be brought back to Washington. Crawford's disappearance last Friday created & sensation. A coat and hat belonging to him were found on a ferry boat running between here and Alexandria. A friend received a letter from him B3ying that ho had determined to commit suicide and that financial troubles were responsible for his decision. The police dragged the river, but failed to find his body, and a few days later a woman announced that she had seen Crawford leave the ferry boat. Mrs. Crawford declined to believe that her husband had committed suicide, but could giv no explanation of his strange conduct. She claimed to know nothing about any financial troubles to which the lieutenant referred in his letter. It was said, however, that Crawford had Incurred debts amounting to almost $5,000, and beirg of a peculiarly sensitive disposition, had determined to make away with himself rather than bear the disgrace of failing to meet his obligations.

His official salary for eight years has been about $3,200 per annum, and Mrs. Crawford declared th debts could easily have been paid by the practice of economy at home. In his letter Crawford stated explicitly that his indebtedness had accumu

lated beyond his ability to par. ana

further that it was not due to any speculation or gambling. That the police finally came to believe, with Mrs. Crawford, that the missing man had not committed suirid was shown by their abandonment
