the car were working men. i Dr. Lambert was the first to leave i

the ambulance. Col. Roosevelt followed. Schuettler was standing by the ambulance door. "Hello, chief, how are you?'" said the colonel. "You look just like- the morning." The assistant chief, arrayed in full uniform, blushed at the colonel's comment. Walked Unassisted. Roosevelt walked unassisted to the car and mounted the steps unassisted. As he stood on the platform of his private car the crowd around loudly cheered. Roosevelt lifted his hat. "Good bye," he shouted, "good bye all." Then he entered the car. There were more cheers when Mrs. Roosevelt and other members of the party entered the car. All along the streets througa which the ambulance passed spectators stood. In Michigan avenue, a number

of persons in automobiles attempted j

to get close enough to tne amouiance to get sight of the colonel, but were kept back by the motorcycle officers. As the cavalcade passed over the Twelfth street viaduct hundreds of laboring men on their way to work stopped to watch the procession and the colonel was cheered repeatedly. Mrs. Alice Longworth joined the train at the station. The train was delayed 15 minutes by a wreck of two engines In the railroad yards, in which Engineer Dickinson was hurt. The train finally pulled out safely. Hundreds of people at the station and along the railing for two blocks shouted as the colonel's car swept by, and he was permitted to wave his good,bye from the rear door of the car. He was attired in a dressing gown over 'Jils pajamas. Mrs. Roosevelt tried to restrain him, but the colonel insisted on acknowledging the greetings. Thousands of people cheered the colonel when the train reached Gary, and another large crowd was on hand at Valpairaso, but the physician insisted that the colonel was suffering from nervous exhaustion and that he must obey their orders and keep to his bed. Mr. Roosevelt was in a high good humor as he was being prepared for the trip and shouts of laughter, in which the physicians joined, could be

heard from his room. "Don't get too gay now and you'll be all right," was the advice of the doctors as they prepared the colonel for the automobile trip to the station. ' "I'll be good I've got to," the colonel rejoined. Just before time for departure temperature and pulse were taken. The , stress of preparation for the journey had not affected either. One Crank Chased. About 7 o'clock a large force of plain clothes men reported at the hospital and uniformed men swarmed about the place. A special watch was kept for any kind of demonstration by the self styled Columbian representative, Luis Molina, who made a scene at the hospital shortly after midnight and attempted to force his way into the colo-

tnel's room. Molina had threatened to force his i way aboard the Pennsylvania train. A crowd had gathered about the hospital

before 6 a. in. Lines were established and they were forced to stand some distance away from the building. The

i crowd was orderly in the extreme.

There was little or the shouting that usually marks the crowds that greet the colonel in Chicago. Instead those

iwho appeared were evidently either jdrawn by curiosity or in an effort to j show their regard for the colonel withjout causing anw undue excitement. (BIG JACK JOHNSON HANGED IN EFFIGY

The truth is that this barbed wire matter should be taken up by some one looking round for a way to pass the time and dragged before our local and state solons. Its use should be made an offense, save under certain conditions. Why don't the women's club take it

CHICAGO, Oct. 21. Hanged in efifigy, before a crowd of 1,000 persons iwithin four blocks of one of the most exclusive residence districts of Chijcago, was the least of Jack Johnson's troubles today. United States authorities were proceeding with their investigation of the black champion ;with a view of indicting for violation of the Mann act in connection with his relations with Miss Lucille Cameron. The "hanging" took place early today at Clark and Montrose boulevard. There wer8 many women in the crowd. A riot call was sent to the town-hall police station. The police cut down the figure and dispersed the crcwd. Mayor Harrison was expected to act today in regard to the revoking of Johnson's saloon license. Five charges were to be prepared against Johnson in the municipal court for violations of the closing hour law. If found guilty on any one, the mayor is expected to revoke his license.

have made for the progress of the congregation. In a church beautified by fall fruits' and cerials and festooned with fall foliage, the annual harvest home festival was observed by the First Eng- j lish Lutheran church Sunday morning, j the Rev. E. G. Howard basing his discourse on Galatians 6, 6. The spirit of Thanksgiving to God who made possible a bountiful harvest in which not only the farmer but also the city dweller shares was the theme of the sermon. ; At the evening service William Wallace, a divinity student of the Hamma Theological school at Springfield, O., , preached. j At the morning meeting at the ' South Eighth Street Friends' church, Elihu Grant, of New England, a delegate to the Five Year meeting of Friends at Indianapolis, stated that he had not been a member of the Friends' church all his life. He said that some years ago he belonged to another church, but he liked the teachings of . the Friends' church ' better than his : own.
