MARSHAILI FIELD MAY WIN HIS FIGHT WITH PNEUMONIA. MILLIONAIRE'S CONDITION IS MUCH IMPROVED Doctors Now Hope for Merchant's Recovery. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—The condition of Marshall Field showed marked im- ment early to-night. The rally . he experienced between 2 and o'clock in the afternoon continued five hours after it began, and so no- ticeably had Mr. Field improved at the end of this period that those watching at his bedside began to hope for re- covery. One of his three physicians, who earlier in the day had announced to those at Mr. Field’s bedside that prac- 3 HICAGO MBRCHANT NOW LYING DA HOTEL, FOR WHOSE RECOVER P SOME HOPE.

List of Mur- ders in the Lake City —_— PASTORS ARE AROUSED i A Protests Against Present Lawless ~Conditions Are Made From Many Pulpits AR CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—Two more mur- ders were added last night to the long list of crimes that have taken place in this city of late. The first victim was Anton Spychalski, who was at- tacked by two robbers at the corner of Washington boulevard and Singa- mon_street. He showed fight and one of them shot him through the body, inflicting a wound that caused his death in two hours. The second crime was committed at the intersectlon of May and Randolph streets, where Jo- geph Kane was attacked by thugs, who beat him so terribly on the head that his death ensued within a short time. Protests, loud and insistent, came from Chicago pulpits yesterday against the lawless conditions which were held responsible for the murder of Mrs. Franklin C. Hollister. This crime, add- ed to the killing of three other women within 4 few monghs, aroused the min- isters to demand fhat better protection be.given by the police to women, Mayor ®@unne, who returned during the day from Denver, joined in the ap- peal, saying that the city needed more policemen. He declared it to be the duty .of the council to provide the means for putting a large enough force of patrolmen out to cover the city thoroughly, Sorrow and anger mingled in the ser- vices at the Wesley Methodist Chureh, of which Mrs, Hollister was a- member. Members of the cholr, in which she had sung, could not sit in their seats be- fore the congregation, but remained in the pews. Richard G. Ivens, who strangled Mrs. Hollister on Friday evening, told two stories of the disposal of the brown seal muff which his victim had in her hand when secen a few hours before she disappeared. He said he carried it away with hif under his coat and hid it. Later he said he threw it into a garbage can. The police could not find the muff. Out of this there arose a stronger feeling on the part of some of the police that Ivens had accom- plices. Relatives of Mrs. Hollister are con- nced the young murderer had not worked alone. They argue that the victim must have been detained early in the day by members of the evil “gang,” and perhaps was murdered be- fore evening and her body removed to the stable where it was found. Richard Ivens, the father of the mur- derer, has begun to work up a defénse for his son. His plea will We insanity. He sald the young man had acted “queerly.” £ The young murderer was to-day sub- jected to a severe examination by the police, in an effort to obtain from him the names of the suppofed accom- plices. Ivens declared that he had no accomplices. During the examination his aged father sat in“the room, with® teams streaming down his face: When the examination was coneluded, the old man asked his son: “Did you really do it alone?” ve , I did it alone,” replied the son. WOMAN DENOUNECES ANDREW CARNEGIE Says Philanthropist Is Men- ace to Intellectual Health of American People. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. DENVER, Jan. 15.—"I wish that for every public library he has endowed Andrew Carnegie might serve a term of three months in the penitentiary,” was the startling statement that stirred the interest of Mrs. Helen Ring Robin- son’s audience at the Women’s Club, where she addressed the club women on “The Penalty of American Fiction.” The wholesale denunciation of the Scotch philanthropist was called forth by the idea that he was menacing the intellectual health of the American people by furthering the distribution of the poisonous productions known as “modern fiction.” “The subject matter of the books is speaker, “but thelr perusal develops bad literary standards. If we must have fiction why not Thackeray or Dickens, who at least knew how to use good English,” said Mrs. Robinson. “I have heard a woman In the public library say ‘T want a book.,” and with- out even opening one volume to scan the story, add, ‘T'll take this one’ What good can she gain from it? Such desul- tory reading is absolutely worse than no reading. There should be a censor of the public library display. Do you know that they never think at our library of buying essays, and when I asked for some of the latest and best productions in that ‘line, the librarian said insolently that they had never heard of them.” —_——— WOULD STOP THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES ON SUNDAY >arsa enj teen years in the penitentiary.

Colonel Lauchheiiner, counsel for Miller, in his argument said that there had been substantial disagreement be- tween the witnesses for either side, and as their statements would not be de- nied by Miller he had ‘seclded not to put the accused on the stand. The judge advocate#replied briefly. He said that the narréW question was presented to the court of whether or not a cadet officer had the authority to impose a series of physical exercise as punishment on other midshipmen. “This was done,” he sald, “in, the case of all the fourth classmen, and - the treatment of Demott made a stilt stronger case, as he had been recalled to Miller's roem on several subsequent nights and required to perform the 'six- teen’ again.” “At 11:10 the case was given to the court, After the noon recess it was an- nounced that a verdict had been found and it will be forwarded to the Super- intendent of the Naval Academy.

Aside from thi§ no details of its pattern have come from the modistes, and even that little scrap of information did not get through the workshop doors. Every effort has been made to keep the details of the wedding dress se- cret and many reports have gone out as to where it was being made.

DEMOCRATS PREPARE RAILROAD RATE BILL Comprehensive Measure Will Be Introduced by House Committee To-Day. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—The Demo- cratic members of the House Commit- tee on Interstate and Foreign Com- merce have prepared a railroad-rats bill which will be introduced to-mor- row. The bill is a comprehensive measure, dealing with all of the ques- tions invelved in the subject. Its es- sential difference from what is under- stood to be the majority measure. the bill of Mr, Hepburn of Iowa, is that instead of using the Interstate Com- merce Commission to fix a “maximum rate” in accordance with the specific recommendation of President Roose- velt, the rate to be fixed shall be a rea- sonable one. It forbids the comm sion increasing any rate which has been fixed and published as such by any rallroad. commission to be reviewed by the courts only when it is shown that such rate does not enable the carrier to realize a fair profit on’ the capital ac- the commission has exceeded its power fixing the rate, making it confiscatory. The rate, when fixed by the commis- ston, is to become operative except by order of the court of final r sort. The bill makes no changes either in salary or in the number of the com- mission as now constituted. e ——— HORTICULTURAL COLLEGE FOR WOMEN A SUCCESS Mrs. Arthur T.

What is now a fertile and pop- | ulous valley was many centuries ago 2 | great Iake or inland sea a hundred miles in length, into which flowed the waters of the Colorado River. Owing to changes in | the course of the river the infl ceased Yand the water of the lake finally evap- | orated. At the lowest point in the valley |a salt marsh was left, the bottom of | which was nearly 30 feet below sea level. | About a year ago an irrigation company cut a shallow ditch through the bank of the Colorade River into this basin. A lit tle later, at a time when the water in the river was very high, the banks of this ditch were cut away and its bottom was scoured out by the rapid current, so that now practically the entire volume of water in the river flows into the basin. During the past six or eight months thou- sands of dollars have been expended in various ineffectual attempts to control the tnflow of the river. The salt marsh has been emiarged to form a lake forty or fitty miles in length. The water is rising at the rate of about an inch a day The proposed surveys will furnish data for an accurate map of that portion of the old lake that lies within the United States, and will enable the cartographers of the survey to show in correct position on the map the numerous towns within | the area, the channels of the two streams | that carry the water of the Colorado Riv- er to the lake and various other topo- graphic features.
