SPECTAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. CHICAGO, June 24—A’ “dry’’ Sunday in Chicago, when it will be impossible to obtain a drop of intoxicating liquor at saloons, clubs or parks, looks .not | only possible but ‘prébable in thé near future. Legal action seems nearer than ever before, and Sunday-closing léagues and civic organizations are preparing for the most determined fight of their existence. The aspect of the case which gives the most encouragement to the “closing element” is that State's Attor- ney Healey has arrayed himself on théir side. One indictment already has been returned for the selling of liquor on Sunday, and others seem likely to: fol- low. The whole matter has been fanned into a flame by mere chance. employed at Riverview Park, v 1s ar- rested some days ago, chargea . with swindling the management by means of fraudulent sale tickets. Representa- tives of the park stated incidentally that it. was on a certain Sunday the waiter had committed the thefts. The grand jury reéturned an indictment against the waiter, but, more important, decided before completing its work yes- terday that an indictment against the park management for wiolation of the Sunday-closing act was in order.. The indictment straightway was returned, and with it a recommendation that the law be enforced in every particular. “We are obliged by oaths to take notice of this violation of the law, and recommend that this law be enforced,” was the wording. of the report of the grand jurors. of the jury put the matter directly be- fore State's Attorney Healey, and he says he will act directly upon the rec- ommendation.

His spell of silence is broken to some’ extent and he talks a little to certain people. but to-others not at He eats but little and looks ill. He stated tonight in answer to a question regarding his health that his stomach was troubling him more than ‘ever. He has apparent- ly given up all thought of making fur- ther fight for his life. He said today: What is the use? It might hold me here. for six months or so longer, but I should not live to see it out.” He says he has no lawyer and is done with them all. On receiving the an- nouncement of the court's decision he expressed a desire to see Grove L. Johnson and wrote to the lawyer. Johnson's reply to the effect that the plea of insanity was still left wounded Weber’'s vanity and he wrote a sharp letter repudiating any desire to use | that plea. He has always opposed his lawyers’ desire to put it forward and even in_ his desperate condition will not now consent. He talks in Spanish with his night watch, conversing freely about Mexico and other places, but says very about his case, generally becoming si- lent when it is alluded to.

The holding of this service yester- day was suggested by the House of Church Women during its first session held in January of this year, and the suggestion was promptly accepted. The participating clergymen and the Vest- ed Choir Association, under the direc- tion of Wallace Sabin, organist at St. Luke's, prepared in the boathouseé at Stow Lake, and the procession, headed by the boys, holding aloft the cruei- as it wound around the hill to the cross attracted the attention of hundreds who were in the park at the time.

REBATING Kansas City Decision a Blow at “Pirate” Railroads. \Freight Br-(;ierage Con- cerns Will Go Out 5 of Business. | —_— iPrison Sentences Discour- . age Violaters of | the Law. | SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. XEW YORK, June 24—News that George L. Thomas and his associate |and assistant, L. B. Taggart, of this | city, had been fined and sentenced to | imprisonment in the penitentiary for | violation of the Elkins law concerning | rebates is regarded as sounding the death knell of private freight broker- |age concerns In thls and other citles, | which have made a fat living' out of | venal railroad officers and so-called | “pirate” rallroads. | Among railroad men, chiefly the com- | mercial and soliciting freight® agents, | Thomas and Taggart were well known. They maintained a suite of offices in No. 420 Broadway. Ostensibly the | | Thomas concern represented dry goods | | houses in the interior and large job- bing houses in St. Louis, Kansas City, ! Chicago, San Francisco and other cities. | Twice a year these large handlers of | freight sent buyers by the score to New | York City, picking up the summer, win- | ter and fall goods. When the shipping | clerk asked for instructions as to routes |on the goods bought, these Western | houses, through their representatives, | invariably replied that Thomas would pame the route. As a consequence, an enormous line of freight was at his dis- posal. ‘He could swing train loads of the highest and most select class of freight to lines which offered the best | inducements. Experienced as he was | fn-routes and tariffs, he knew the tricks | of ‘the ‘trade and was ablé to benefit by the concessions offered by roads whose torinage was not up to the average for | the month. ¥ | The fact that there was a large quan- | tity of freight always ready to be “pur- | chased,” to use a railroad term, was a standing menace to the trafic men of the Western railroads, as well as_the agents of lines ruhning out of New | York. The venal. traffic manager who | was forced to make a showing usuaMy sought out these agents who. like Thomas, had something to sell to the highest bidder. Naturally, the railroads suffered in.making the concessions in rates as compared with those lines which carried business only at the full tariff prices. It wus the unanimous | opinion of freight mgents of all the | leading rallroads that the court’s ac- | tion on Saturday at Kansas City in sen- | tencing Thomas to a term of four months in the penitentiary and a fine of $6000 meant that the private freight broker as a menace to the maintenance of freight rates was forever suppressed.

NNIVERSARY OF BISHOP NICHOLS. The venerable Archdeacon referred to the fact that sixteen years ago, in St. James' Church, Philadelphia, Wiltiam Ford Nichols was consSecrated a bishop to take charge of the diocese of Califor- nia. He said that the service might well be one of thanksgiving, not only for the wonderful progress of the church under his guldance, but that what has seemed an almost crushing blow to the church in this city has brought such expressions of sympathy and substantial aid. “If we do out duty,” ‘God wll} church I he concluded, bless our efforts, and the this city and diccese will be -~ stronger ard more fruitful in good works than ever before. It is well at ‘the foot of this cross that in thankful- nese of licart we renew our vows and pledge again our fedlty to our bishop for the better upbuilaing of the church.” Among the assisting clergy were: Rev.
