THE BROAD AX Hot Contest to Be Waged Between William L. Connell and Thomas J. Healey FOR THE TREASURERSHIP OF COOK COUNTY.

Vol. XVI Hot Contest to B Between Will and The FOR THE TREASURERSHIP OF THE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLI WITH THE COIN SO THAT MANAGERS CAN GREASE UP THE MACHINES THE 8TH. THE LORIMER INVESTIGATING BORS AND THE BLOND FROM THE CHARGE OF UNITED STATES SENATE CONGRESSMAN MARTIN B. MAD MAN FOR RE-ELECTION The political pot is beginning to boil in good shape in this city and throughout Cook county and after next Tuesday, October 18, the last day for registration, it will boil much faster and stronger. It is claimed by many of the wise politicians that the Democrats pulled up ahead of the Republicans in several wards where they did not expect to make heavy gains the first day of registration, and if they hold their own this coming Tuesday, the last day of registration, they will have a shade the best of it over the Republicans. It is freely predicted by those who make the slightest pretensions to keep posted on politics that the hottest contest for the county offices will be waged between William L. O'Connell and Thomas J. Healey for the treasuryship of Cook county. There are a powerful lot of good, fat jobs at the disposal of the county treasurer, aside from handling millions of dollars in money each year, and the Republicans are willing to forfeit their chances of flying on to heaven if they can only hold onto the easy pickings, and with O'Connell it looks as though the Democrats are likely to rout the Republicans, capture the office, place it on a business basis and in every way conduct all the affairs pertaining to it in a more businesslike manner than it has been conducted in the past. Both the Democratic and Republican candidates must come up with the coin, so that their respective campaign managers can grease up the machines between now and November 8th. William L. O'Connell, Democratic candidate for county treasurer, has been assessed for seven thousand and five hundred dollars, and Thomas J. Healey, Republican candidate for the same office, has been taxed for five thousand dollars, and Frank Vogler, Republican candidate for Sheriff, and the other candidates, both Democratic and Republican, must each dig up from three to five thousand dollars. The managers of both campaign committees are figuring on collecting in one hundred thousand dollars on each side, which will be expended to enlighten the minds of the voters in Cook county along Democratic and Republican lines. The Lorimer investigating committee, composed of United States senators, with the Hon. Julius C. Burrows, chairman, wound up its labors in this city the end of the past week, and after carefully reading every line of the testimony adduced each day during the entire investigation, we are firmly convinced that the blond Senator will be absolved from the charge of bribery or attempting to buy his way into the American House of Lords at the meeting of the United States Senate in December. For zone of the witnesses for the Chicago Tribune or for the state of Illinois proved in the remotest degree that William Lorimer put upone dollar to corrupt the members of the legislature for the avowed purpose of paving his way into the United HEW $ TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY States Senate, and the Chicago Tribune paid its star witness, Charles E. White, four or five thousand dollars for a fake story, which is not worth ten cents. At the meeting of the Republican county managing committee at the North Side Turner Hall Thursday morning to select Randall W. Burns to make the race for Judge of the Circuit Court, instead of the late rank P. Schmitt. Congressman Martin B. Madden started the boom for Mayor Fred A. Busse for his renomination in 1911, and Congressman Madden, in glorifying him declared that "he was in favor of permitting him to hold on to his present job throughout the remainder of his natural life and then some! It is our honest opinion, however, that the vast majority of the voters in this city have become sick and tired of the bedslat statesman and his crowd of scheming politicians, and that they will turn him down cold if he is foolish enough to attempt to make the second race for mayor of Chicago. PLAN TO SPEND A MILLION. Tuberculosis Association Shows How Money from Red Cross Christmas Seals Would Provide Needed Hospitals. What "A Million for Tuberculosis from Red Cross Seals" will do in the checking of consumption, is explained in a bulletin issued to day by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Counting every available bed for consumptives in the United States, even those in almshouses, penal institutions, and hospitals for the insane, there are at the present time accommodations for hardly 30,000 tuberculosis patients. This is just about one bed for every ten indigent consumptives, and if all tuberculous persons in the country are counted, both rich and poor, hardly one for every twenty-five or thirty. If sufficient hospital accommodations are provided only for those who are too poor to pay the full price for their treatment, fully 275,000 more beds in special institutions for tuberculosis would be needed at once. The immense outlay necessary to provide and maintain so many beds in hospitals, make it imperative, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis declares, that such institutions be erected from public money, either municipal, county or state. In order to get appropriations for public hospitals for tuberculosis, agitation is necessary, and in order to create a campaign of agitation, organization is demanded. But in order that an organization may carry on an effective campaign, funds are needed. These funds it is proposed to secure in as many communities as possible from the sale of Red Cross Seals. The National Association cites one illustration of the way in which a small sum spent in education has secured large appropriations. The New CHICAGO, OCTOBER 15, 1910. M. EDWARD OSGOOD BROWN. Eminent Lawyer who is held in the highest esteem by the people in this city and throughout Cook County, and who will be elected to the Circuit Court bench, November the 8th. Edward Osgood Brown, candidate for the vacancy in the Circuit court made by Judge Carpenter's resignation and a member of the well known law firm of Peckham, Brown & Packard, has had an unusually successful career at the bar. He is a zealous Democrat from principle, has won much praise as a jurist and commendation for fairness in decision. Both parties agree that he is good judicial timber and any candidacy of his has always received the full endorsement of the bar. Mr. Brown is a native of Salem, Mass., and he is a graduate of Brown University and Harvard Law School. In company with his classmate, Orville Peckham, he came to Chicago in 1872, and established the firm of Peckham & Brown, continuing in practice until 1903, when he was elected to the Circuit court bench. Most of that time he was counsel for the First National bank. For some years he acted as attorney for the Lincoln Park board, being involved in important litigation for respecting the shore of Lake Michigan. He also represented the West Park Commissioners in the Dryer litigation, whereby the park commissioners recovered about $350,000. He also acted in the foreclosure of the Allee "L" and a great variety of other litigation of similar importance. He was elected Circuit judge June 1st, 1903, appointed to the Appellate court in November, 1904, and reaped pointed in June, 1906. Judge Brown is a member of the Chicago Historical society, the Knight of Columbus and the North Chicago Turngemeinde. He was one of the organizers of the Iroquois club and of the Chicago Literary club. Now withstanding his New England ancestry, Judge Brown is an ardent member of the Catholic Church. York State Charities Aid Association in the three years, 1908, 1909 and 1910 has spent in the up-state portion of New York about $55,000 in arousing the people to the dangers of tuberculosis. As a direct result of the public sentiment produced by this outlay, the state, county and municipal authorities have already appropriated for tuberculosis work $1,500,000 and appropriations for hundreds of thousands of dollars are pending. Hundreds of hospital beds have been provided, and the Association already aims for "No Uncared for Tuberculosis in 1915." Thus, the National Association says if a million dollars is realized from the sale of Red Cross Seals, millions more will be added to it from the public treasuries. Last year 25,000,000 stamps were sold. It is aimed this year to sell four times as many. In an action for fire trespass on the Black Hills National Forest brought by the United States against the Missouri River and Northwestern Railroad, the jury has awarded damages to the Government not only for the loss of merchantable timber but also for the destruction of unmerchantable young growth. This is regarded by Government officials as establishing a very important precedent. So far as is known at the U. S. Department of Agriculture, it is the first time that any court has recognized what foresters call the "expectation value" of young growth as furnishing a basis for the award of damages. The difficulty in the way For some years he acted as attorney for the Lincoln Park board, being involved in important litigation for it respecting the shore of Lake Michigan. He also represented the West Park Commissioners in the Dryer litigation, whereby the park commissioners recovered about $550,000. He also acted in the foreclosure of the Alley "L" and a great variety of other litigation of similar importance. He was elected Circuit judge June 1st, 1903, appointed to the Appellate court in November, 1904, and reappointed in June, 1906. Judge Brown is a member of the Chicago Historical society, the Knights of Columbus and the North Chicago Turngemeinde. He was one of the organizers of the Iroquois club and of the Chicago Literary club. Notwithstanding his New England ancestry, Judge Brown is an ardent member of the Catholic Church. of such an award in the past has been that there was no way to prove to the satisfaction of the courts the money value of the loss suffered. The award in the South Dakota case followed the presentation of evidence as to the cost of work in reforesting which the Government is actually doing in the Black Hills. The amount claimed for the young growth burned was $12 an acre, and the claim under this item was allowed in full by the jury. The total amount of damages claimed was $3,728.85, of which $2,634.45 was for merchantable timber destroyed or injured by the fire. It is recognized by foresters that the cost of artificial reforestation will not always furnish a fair basis for estimating the damage to forest, reproduction. Where new growth can be expected by natural sowing from seedtrees on the ground within a short time, artificial planting or sowing is an unnecessarily expensive method. To meet such cases what are known as "yield tables" are being prepared. By the use of these the loss can be shown in terms of the final crop and the time necessary to produce it. Thus, if it is known that ten thousand feet of timber per acre can be cut once in seventy years, it is easy to calculate the value of the crop when it is ten years old by discounting from its value when mature. In European countries where forestry has been long practiced this method is regularly applied in selling, condemning, or estimating damages on forest property. It is also used abroad in insurance, which would be impracticable if there were not both an accepted basis for determining the loss suffered and a reasonably accurate knowledge of the hazard involved.

Here are three important facts: Here are three important facts: FACT NUMBER ONE: Consumption is caused by a very small germ, visible only under the microscope. These germs are found in the spittle of persons who have the disease, and are raised from the lungs whenever the patient coughs. FACT NUMBER TWO: Consumption is spread by people who have the disease when they are careless about spitting; when they cough or sneeze in the presence of others without holding a handkerchief to the face; when they handle articles that may be used by others, such as drinking cups or eating utensils. It is also carried by files that have access to the sputa of careless spitters. FACT NUMBER THKEE: People who are well and strong and who live out of doors as much as possible and who sleep in bedrooms with the windows open are not at all likely to get consumption. Fresh air and PLENTY of it all the time, together with sunshine, nourishing food and rest, are the agencies that cure consumption if taken in time. This might be called 'Fact Number Four;' but let it go in as part of Fact Number Three. Now read these over carefully and see if you can repeat the substance of them. If you can, try to remember them, so that you may be able to tell others. It is in this way that good information may be easily spread throughout a whole community, and so on through a number of communities, until thousands of people are put in possession of knowledge that is of great value to them. Let us all help to spread that kind of knowledge. LOUISE JUVENILE HOME.

Want to Burn Him, Says He Would Make a Fine Spectacle in a Bon- fire. On last Saturday at Springfield, Governor Deneen was called upon the second time to deliver up Steve Green, the Colored man who escaped from the Arkansas mob, who sought to mob and burn him last March in Prittenden Co. Arkansas, after he had killed a white farmer in self-defense and after being shot four times for leaving the farm of the white man, J. Gray Lucas one of the Chicago attorneys instrumental in his prior discharge before Judge Tuthil on a writ of habeas corpus, on Tuesday last appeared before His Excellency Gov. Deneen at Springfield, opposed by the Attorney General and the Arkansas authorities to show legal cause, satisfactory to the Governor, why he should not issue a second warrant for Steve Green's removal to Arkansas. Mr. Lucas successfully prevented the issuance of this second warrant on the day set apart for doing so, the Governor signing such a warrant in another case. that of a white man. The case will be heard and deter mined whether the Governor shall finally allow the warrant on next Monday, when Atty. Lucas will again appear fortified with legal authorities. Meantime Steve Green has not been apprehended by the authorities. As was predicted, another call is necessarily made on the people through the churches and elsewhere to assist in the defence of this Colored man, innocent of crime. DEATH OF MRS. SUSANAH WETH- INGTON. Mrs. Susanah Wethington, widow of Melvin Wethington, and for eighteen years a resident of Chicago, died at her late home, 5326 Dearborn St., at 4 o'clock A. M., Thursday, October 6, 1910, after a long and very painful illness. Funeral services were held last Saturday, October 8, at St. Mary's A. M. E. Church, 49th and Dearborn Sts., Rev. Jesse Woods, pastor, officiating and Rev. W. H. Griffin assisting. By special request the choir sang two favorite hymns of the deceased, "Saviour Pilot Me" and "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone." A large concourse of relatives and friends attended, and many floral pieces abundantly attested the warm friendships broken by this visit of Death. Mrs. Wettington leaves her aged mother, Mrs. Caroline Newhouse, her three sons, Jasper, Schuyler and Arthur J. Wettington; two sisters, Mrs. Frances Bird and Mrs. Mary Arnold; two brothers, Sandy and Wilson Newhouse, and many other relatives to mourn her death. Mrs. Wethington was converted at Quinn Chapel many years ago, and lived a sincere Christian life; she was a devoted member of the Methodist church, and died in the full conviction of her salvation in Christ. She was widely known, and during her last illness, many friends visited and ministered to her wants and needs, and comforted and cheered her; her sons and her mother desire to express to all such friends and relatives their deep sense of appreciation and obligation for their kindnesses to their mother, and for the many heartfelt expressions of sympathy and conolation extended them in their bereavement; words cannot express these feelings; only the heart can feel."J." .

She is now engaged as a stenographer in the office of Attorney Walter M. Farmer. The host of friends that know Miss Mamie were unstinted in their praise of her beautiful disposition and her many accomplishments.

William Moss Tells Jury He Was Bewitched and Is Acquitted. A pathetic recital of how he was the victim of a "voodoo charm" in the hands of Mrs. Childs Smith, a Negro woman, won freedom for William Moss, a Negro, when he was placed on trial before Judge Scanlan in the Criminal Court Monday. Moss was charged with attacking Isabella Smith, the woman's 11-year-old granddaughter. He said Mrs. Childs Smith wished to become Mrs. Moss, but be- MOR cause he would not wed her she trumped up the charge against him. He also declared she had bewitched Assistant States' Attorney Benedict J. Short to send him to the penitentiary. The 'voodoo' plea charmed the jury and Moss was acquitted. ettis, their decor- lum- rowd FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE EIGHTH REGIMENT IL- LINOIS NATIONAL GUARD.

Review of Causes Which Led to the Organization of the Association In New York and What Its Policy Will Be—Career and Work of Professor W. E. B. Du Bois. By FRANKLIN F. JOHNSON The problem of adjusting the differences between the heterogeneous masses in the United States so that each man will enjoy equality before the law and equality of opportunity for himself and his children has agitated the minds of statesmen oft and on since 1776. The overthrow of England's sovereignty in the United States and the establishment of a democratic form of government was the first. The existence of slavery, the agitation against it and its final extinction was another step in the recognition of the brotherhood of man. The enfranchisement of the Negro and the abrogation of many of the M. W. E. B. DU BOIS, PH. D. laws preventing the Negro from following various fields of activity were steps in recognition of the principles of democracy The dischievement laws, jincrow measures, restricted school facilities for the race, are efforts to undo the start made for the extension to all of what many are pleased to term "Jeffersonian principles." With the curtailment of the rights of the Negro and a socially growing race consciousness as well as knowledge of public affairs and the growing economic independence of the race has come the conviction that the spirit of democratic principles is no less for the colored man than for the white. A number of white and colored men, all firm believers in the principles of democracy and strong opposers to all temporizing with social prejudices and its manifestation in discriminating laws, have organized the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, with offices in the Evening Post building, 20 Vesey street, New York. The need of such an association can be best gleaned from an address which one of its leading promoters, Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post, delivered at the recent meeting in New York of the National Negro Business league. Said Mr. Villard: "My friends of the Business league, do not let the historian of the future say that in this money making age the colored American became so engrossed in the accumulation of means and the establishment of business as to forget those higher things without which he cannot hope to succeed and rise to great usefulness, to be really worthy of his heritage of American citizenship. "Do not forget that, while every effort must be spent in fortifying ourselves in every community by business and material success, equal effort must be devoted to that of far greater movement, the insistence upon the Negro's equal and political rights in every place and at all times. "Anything short of absolute equality before the law is slavery. "My friends, this republic cannot exist half slave, half free, any more today than it could in the time of Abraham Lincoln." Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, the eminent authority on racial questions, has been engaged as secretary of the association. Professor Du Bois is a native of Massachusetts. After graduating from Fisk university in 1888 he entered Harvard university, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts in 1890 and the degree of master of arts the following year. He was awarded a fellowship and, after studying in Berlin, was award- ed the degree of doctor of philosophy by Harvard in 1895. He did some special research work for the University of Pennsylvania, after which he went to Atlanta university to take charges of the department of economics and sociology. Dr. Du Bois is the author of "Soul of Black Folk," a history of John Brown, "The Suppression of the Slave Trade," "The Philadelphia Negro" and many pamphlets on the race question. When he resigned from the professorship to accept the position of director of publicity and research for the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People the board of trustees of Atlanta university, in accepting his resignation, paid him the following glowing tribute: "We accept with regret the resignation of W. E. Burghardt Du Bola Ph. D., from the professorship of economics and history at Atlanta university. "For thirteen years he has served this institution with great ability and devotion. He has proved himself a careful scholar, a firm disciplinarian and a thorough and inspiring teacher. "The charm of his personality and his prevailing good cheer have added much to the enjoyment of life in the school family. "Under his guidance the department of economics and history has been greatly strengthened and has brought Atlanta university wide recognition among scholars. "We can only hope that his new field of labor will give him larger opportunity for the exercise of his exceptional powers for the benefit of the Negro race and of humanity." The association will begin the publication of a magazine, the Crisis, the 1st of November. Its aim each month will be to record every important happening and movement in the world which bears on the great problem of interracial relation and especially those which affect the Negro American. The magazine will be the organ of no cliques or party and will avoid personal rancor of all sorts. Dr. Du Bois will be editor in chief. His assistants will include Professor Kelly Miller of Howard university, Oswald Garrison Villard, Charles Edward Russell, William Stanley Braithwaite, poet and writer; J. Max Barber and Mrs. Dunlop Maclean. ANTI-LYNCHING SOCIETY ORGANIZED IN BOSTON Afro-American Women Unite For Active Campaign Against Injustice. An anti-lynching society composed of Afro-American women has been organized in Boston. The purpose of the new association is to call the attention of the legal authorities to the too frequent lynching of innocent citizens. It will also make investigations as to the cause of such crimes with a view of apprehending and having the guilty punished according to law instead of mob rule. The promoters of the movement met at the residence of Mrs. L. C. Parrish, in Camden street, Boston, recently and perfected a permanent organization, electing the following officers: President, Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson; vice president, A. H. Jewell; re A. B. MRS. L. C. PARRISH. cording secretary, Mrs. V. C. Clark; treasurer, Mrs. L. C. Parrish, and chaplain, Mrs. M. C. Hall. Among others who took part in the organization are Mrs. Carrie O. Reed, Mrs. A. Bisbee, Mrs. A. Russell, Mrs. E. F. Sport, Mrs. B Anderson and Miss E. Jewell. The harmony of thought, the true principle for vindication of their womanhood and the race, exhibited in the efforts for the public meeting and its success, with the triumph gained over the press, cemented a tie between them which has caused them to press forward with greater energy to remedy, if not lessen, the continued evils, perpetrated against the race. Already they have plans formulated for a big anti-lynching meeting in the near future and are assured support by some of the best leading white women and men of the country. Why Claflin University Succeeds. One of the things that contributes no largely to the growth and success of Claflin university is the loyalty of her constituents, says the Columbia (S. C.) Ploughman.

'Wast Che Author Meant When 558 Sus the Tailor “No Feet.” In a village in the heart of Touratn there lives an old man whose pride i 4s that he once had the honor of mak ing a pair of trousers for Balzac. The old tailor delights to tell of his meet ing with the distinguished Frenchman ‘When the tailor got to the chateat where Balzac was staying he found him in the garden at work on a novel He was so busy that the tailor waited in silence. Many sheets of paper, cov ered with fine writing, lay around him He would write 2 spell, then stare wildly about, and then go at it agaiz as if be knew that a world was wait ing for his words. After standing near and watching ‘the great man awhile the tailor at last felt that he must interrupt Balzac tz ‘order to get his measure for the trou sers. Balzac was extremely good na tured—smiled gs the tailor measured him, but spoke but once. “No feet,” said be as the tailor fin ished his measurements. Then he turned to his work. The worthy tailor had no idea at all What this mesnt, but for some reasor he had not courage enough to inter Tupt the novelist again to ask. How ever, the tailor chanced to meet s servant on his way out and of bim in qetrel-wpet ay elipe eeet be are “Ob,” responded the servant, “M. Baizac wants his trousers made with- ‘out any openings at the bottom so that he can sit and write without having to put on slippers.”—Harper’s Weekly. PITY THE POOR BURGLAR. Receive Him With Open Houge and en Appetizing Lunch. A Chicago man has dispensed with Jocks and other safeguards against bur. glars at his home. “If the right hand of fellowship were extended to bur glars instead of the kick and threat the world would be better, the pent- tentiaries would be emptied in a short time, and there would be no need of lock and keys,” be says. So, if you are a true reformer se- tiously working in the'spirit of broth- erly love for the betterment of man- kind, extend the right hand of fellow- ship to the housebreaker. Don't let the dog loose at night. Rather keep him chained. Have the door unlocked and emblazoned above it in electric lights a cordial “Welcome, Burgiars!” If one enters do not kick or threaten ‘him.

On account of the constant demand made on the great railroad corporations by female passengers who travel extensively on the cars of the company for female attendants is beginning to receive attention. The position and importance of the dining car porter are too well known to necessarily admit of comment. But the female attendant in any considerable numbers is almost entirely new. With the close competition of the various roads for the patronage of the traveling public has come this very necessary line of special service. It is not so strange now to see bright and competent young women, both Mary Louise white and colored, caring for the special compartments for women on trains running from one end of the country to the other. So that in this new line of livelihood the competent young colored women, along with women of the other races, are proving to be important factors in the hum and bustle of travel. We have come into the possession of the above facts by our acquaintance with Mrs. Ardelle Taylor of New York, who is one of the most capable and trustworthy attendants on the regular Pennsylvania limited trains out from New York to Chicago. Mrs. Taylor secured the position solely on account of her exceptional ability and knowledge of how to skillfully handle large numbers of women. Knowing the old proverb that a pleased customer gains for the trade another patron, Mrs. Taylor's services were readily accepted. The fact that Mrs. Taylor is a gifted linguist also added to her fitness for the position which she so admirably fills. Glowing Report on Foreign Missions.

Public BRANCH OF POLITICAL EQUALITY ASSOCIATION. New York Headquarters In Charge of Miss Irena L. Moorman. Permanent headquarters for the Afro-American branch of the Political Equality association, of which Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont is president, have been opened at 83 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, New York, with Miss Irena L. Moorman, one of the pioneer members, in charge. The rooms will be open evenings during the fall and winter. They are comfortably furnished and well supplied with suffrage literature, and there will be various lecture courses and study classes in the season. The opening of the headquarters marks the growth of the branch to 100 members, the point at which Mrs. Belmont promised the members that she would provide them with rooms of their own. Later, with further increased size, the branch will move into a regular suffrage settlement house. The National Woman Suffrage association, at 505 Fifth avenue, has furnished a pretty reception room adjoining the office of the president, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. In this is a picture of Susan B. Anthony and the chair she used in the last forty-three years of her life. One end of the room is filled with portraits of other suffrage leaders and workers. There are posters used by the English suffragettes, and on a center table are the suffrage "rainbow fliers." Political Situation In Oklahoma. The fight that the Negroes are making in Oklahoma against the iniquitous grandfather clause, which alms to disfranchise them, is admirable, says the Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise. This fight is being watched with no little interest by the race throughout the country. The commendable thing is that it is receiving the strong support of the Republican organization. INCORRIGIBLE COLORED CHILDREN'S NEW HOME Trustees Have Secured the Old John D. Lown Estate at Rhinebeck. The Home For Incorrigible Colored Children will be located at Rhinebeck. N. Y., after Oct. 10. The trustees of the institution have purchased the old John D. Lown farm near the village of Rhinebeck, upon which will be operated a model farm to be worked by the youths of the institution. There are over a hundred children in the institution. It is the purpose of the trustees to raise produce enough from the farm after the first year to maintain the home. The section in which the home is located is surrounded by the estates of wealthy white people, and if it is properly managed, instead of meeting opposition from these white neighbors, the managers will readily find them ready and willing to assist the institution. Among the wealthy landowners adjoining the farm are such well known American financiers as ex-Vice President Levi P. Morton, John Jacob Astor, Colonel F. H. Olin, William Starr Miller and R. R. Bueckley. The old farm quarters are undergoing repairs previous to the coming of the corps of teachers, the children and the belongings of the home. Branch Office 3517 State Street Collections.
