Chicago, Sept. 5—By a vote of 42 to 6 Chicago aldermen went on record yesterday as praising Gov. lL.owden hecause he stopped the Peo- ple’s Council Convention and as de- nouncing the Lundin-Thompson City Hall group because they tried to foist it upon Chicago. The city coun- cil, unable to act upon Aldermian | ,Iohn Toman's resolution officially on account of hampering rules, resolved into a commitiee of the whole and then took the decisive vote. Mayor Thompson presided. Victory came only after nearly four hours of strenuous battling. At times the . fighting threatened to +4 change from words to blows. On one occasion Alderman Bowler could bare- ly be held/ back from Alderman Mi- chaelson, champion of the mayor, upon whom he was rushing with clenched fists. “You and the mayor and your crowd are a bunch of dogs—a bunch |DR.

Eben Reeks, superintendent of health, ef- fective October 1, was accepted with regret at a special meeting of the health board at 5 o’clock yesterday. The various commissioners spoke with feeling of the superintendent’s excel- lent work duing the past three years and Mayor Quigley, who was present, said: “I was closely assoclated wtih Dr. Reeks before he became super- intendent of health and I have been closely associated with him since and I can only say that I am sorry to see him go. him go than I would be at the loss of any other city official.” The fol- lowing letter was then dictated and sent to Dr. Reeks: Dr. T. E. Reeks, New Britain, Conn Dear Doctor Reek: Your letter of resignation as su- perintendent of health of the city of New Britain, and addressed to me, | was read to the Board of Health at a special meeting held this afternoon. It is with sincere regret that the Board of Health finds itself compelled to accept your resignation as final. the board realizes, however, that your contemplated new work will carry you into a larger field of use- fulness and that capable men with special talents are always sought af- ter. G Because of our more or 1#ss close personal association in the past, we hope to share in a modest way your fature success, which we feel 1s a foregone conclusion. Respectfully yours, GEORGE H.

The fact however, that the charter states that a man to take the position must have at least three years’ practise as a physician would make it impossible to accept any other, no matter how well qualified he might be. NEGRO CRISIS ANTICIPATED Southern Congressmen Protest Against Training Blacks Below Line—Waco Rioters Sentenced for Long Terms. ‘Washington, Sept. 5.—Reports that white soldiers are refusing in some places to salute negro officers and complaints by congressional delega- tions against the training of negro soldiers in Southern camps are caus- ing deep concern to war department officials Representative Dent of Alabama and Representative Harrison of M issippi have complained to Secre Baker that wmobilization of negro troops at Montgomery and Hatties- burg might result in serious race riots. As for the training of the draft recruits, the department has virtually decided that it will place them along with the white recruits at the 16 national army cantonments. A general order issued stated that one infantry regiment will be organ- ized at each of the cantonments, where sufficient personnel is available, but officers explain that the negro troops will be so segregated that thed will hardly come into contact with the white recruits. ry negro San Antonio, Tex., Sept. 6.—Found guilty of intent to murder, five mem- bers of the Twenty-fourth TUnited States Infantry, who rloted at Waco on the night of July 29, faced five years at hard labor in the Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan.

FIGHT ON SYSTEM NOT ON THE KAISER U. §. Will Be Judge 0[ Polmual Reforms in Germany . Washington, Sept. 5.—Ambassador Sharp at Paris has informed the state department that the French people have accepted President Wilson’s re- ply to the FPope's peace proposal as embodying the principles for which the Allies are fighting. The. ambas- sador's cablegram indicated that vir- tually every class of the French peo- ple feels that no further statement is necessary at this time. Officials of the state department discredited reports, circulated freely within the last ten days, that Pres- ident Wilson would not consider a democratization of Germany which was not predicated upon the abdica- tion of the Kaiser. They make it plain that the United States is not interested in individuals but in those institutions from which individuals derive abnormal powers. “The German people may do any- thing they please,” Secretary Lansing said. “This government will not be in the position of dictating to them the measures they should take. The United States, however, is pledged to be the judge of whether the changes in the form of government effected are such that this country can trust the German government.” Secretary lansing’'s statements were accepted meaning that the United States is not fighting the war to get rid of the kaiser but to move the tem which made kaiser's power possible. Must Be Fundamental Change. Mr. Lansing has repeatedly de- clined to be drawn into a discussion of the precise nature of changes which the United States will expect Germany to make in its form of gov- ernment before this government will be satisfied that the menace to de- mocracy has been dissipated. All the changes must be based upon fundamentals and no superficial evi- dences of a changed system will be accepted by this government, Mr. Lansing has informed persons who in- quired concerning the precise charac- ter expected in the eyolution from an autocracy into a democracy. The first change which would be accepted as an evidence of the good faith of the government and the de- termination of the German would beg a reorganization of the min- isterial form of = administration, whereby the chancellor hereafter would be responsible to the through the Reichstag and not solely to the kaiser. Reports that President Wilson feels that the removal of the new Chan- cellor Michaelis would be a move in the right direction are denied in well informed circles. The president is not interested in Dr. Michaelis except in so far as he is the tool of a sys- tem which is repugnant to this gov- ernment. TIf, the democratic reforms as re- the Misses Rena Dorsey and Mary Kin- | are made on fundamentals. In general the administration is satisfied that the kaiser and his pres- ent advisers would naturally retire before accepting a reorganization which would leave them in the posi- tion of agents rather than dictators. TEST OF CHILD LABOR LAW. Manufacturers to Instigate Suits in South. Charlotte, N.

Mrs. Green was a legal resident of | Bellows Falls, Vt, ' the surrogate's court had decreed. Then came the issue, decided yesterday, as to whether inheritance taxes could be placed on holdings of the Windham Realization Co., Inc., and the West- minster Co., organized to handle the investments of Mrs. Green' and her | son, When Col.

The Windham Realization Co., Inc., incorporated in New York in 1912, was organized for the purpose of taking over the foreclosing mortgages | in default belonging to Mrs, Green | and allied interests. Mrs. Green was never a stockholder of record. She had nothing to do with directing its affairs.” As to the ‘“richest woman’s’ invest- ing preferences, her recently married son stated: Never Bought to Sell. “Mrs. Green's business activities consisted in the investing and rein- vesting of her principal and Income and the care and conservation of her investments. She never speculated or bought to sell. She was QX!I'E))*QLV cautious in making investments, and what she bought she ordinarily re- tained.
