3 THE DAILY INTER OCEAN, SATURDAY- MORNING, APRIL 6, 1895. THE CITY IN BRIEF. Evanston Industrial School Said to Be Badly Managed. THATES ARE FED ON MUSH Thedants, It Is Claimed, Feast on Steaks and Hams. Grity for the Prevention of Crime I Asks the Mayor to Close a Low Theater.

criticism has been passed, upon management of the Evanston Indussa School for Girls by the Illinois Wom- Alliance, the claim being made that it the worst-managed institution of its ad in Cook County. The alliance met sterday afternoon at the Sherman House, ad Mrs. Laura G. Fixen, chairman of the committee on school investigation, subreport that caused considerable stir. She then offered the following resolution, which passed Whereas, The visitation committee of the Illinois Woman's Alliance, after paving visited and inspected the different State and county institutions Cook County.

have visited the Industrial School at Evansion: and Whereas, This committee found the Industrial School in Evanston by far the poorest kept and worst managed institution for children in Cook County which they have so far visited: and Whereas, In the opinion of this committee the managment is pot competent for the position which they hold: therefore be it Resolved That we simene condition attention of this the proper authorities to school The report of Mrs. Fixen was based upon a personal investigation, and she was not sparing in her decunciation of the managers of the Evanston school. She There are at present 145 young girls the place, and when I see the treatment accorded them it makes my blood boil. Down in an office ou State street are several women whose best efforts, we are told, are put forth toward a good management They draw big salaries. and yet they do not know what is going on at the school.

Our committee found that the little children are given cereal mush of some kind, dry bread, and a cup of milk for breakfast. At noon they have coatish. or perbaps corned beef. They are fed meat only once a day.and on Sunday they have pork and beans--food that I corsider should not be given to them It is neither fit nor sufficient for young girls who are not yet matured. There are thirteen atteadants, and I found that of the entire meat bill theirs covers per cent They have sirloin steak and boiled bam, and the people of the State are paying for them We must not forget that the State gives 811.000 a year for the support of this institution I buy all the meat for the Working Girls' Home.

and the meat that is bought for the Evanston School is 20 per cent worse than it in quality, yet it is more expensive. Mrs. Fixen then told of the cheerless rooms where the little girls are required to sleep. There are no home comforts, she said. and nothing to make the there pleasant.

The beds. according to her state. ment, are very old and rickety. and she was inclined to the belief that the janitors com pelied the inmates to do most of the work about the place. TO CLOSE A STATE STREET DIVE.

Society for the Prevention of Crime Makes Complaint to the Mayor. The Society for the Prevention of Crime yesterday requested Mayor Hopkins that the license of a State street theater be revoked, and a letter to that effect was sent the mavor vesterdav At a meeting held by the directors President Rusk addressed the 1 following letter to the mayor: To Hi- Honor Mayor Hopkins -Dear Sir In behalf of the Society for the Prevention of Crime I would call Your attent on to the 'Theater of. State street and request you to revoke the liceuse of the same for the following reasons The whole tendency of the place is degrading to the morals, and is a disgrace to the city Women in scanty aress lure men into the pr rate boxes and take liberties which can be mainly seen througa the gauze betting by the audience The barroom attached is bat a dire where the women persuade the men to drink. and 10- v. Le them to the stage below or in the basement by promises of dances.

4. The language used on the stage is rulgar and degrading. The whole is a menace to the morals of the public. and as mayor you are earnestly requested to tak 00 necessary steps to eradicate this socalled theater In company with directors of the Society for the Pretention of Crime I have visited all parts of the place, and should you desire further evicence the society will be glad to send a committee to confer with you and present the necessary evidence. Yours truly.

JOHN RUSK, President of the Society for the Prevention Crate The party which visited the place a few evenings ago was composed of three bers of the society: Rev. Dr. Rusk, president: Dr J. W. Carr, and a brother of Dr.

Carr. The party visited the theater a few nights ago and investigated the private boxes referred to in the communication to the mayor and also the appointments vi the alleged amusement house and were shocked beyond measure at hat they found on their tour of investigation. If Mayor Hopkins fails to comply with the wishes of the society the officers of that body will, they say, make a sunliar request of the incoming mayor, and, should they twice meet with failure, they declare their intention of prosecuting the managers of the institution. Such steps it 1- pot thought will be necessary. Mayor Hopkins will undoubtedly offer some opinion on the matter this morning.

NO TRACE OF GEORGE W. EBERSOL. His Friends Believe He Has Been Murdered -Police Working on the Case No clew has vet been obtained regarding the whereabouts of George W. Ebersol. of No.

75 Hill street, who has been missing since Tuesday night. His friends and relatives are convinced that he has met with foul play. The last seen of Mr. Ebersol was Tuesday night at 11 o'clock, at the corner of Dearborn and Randolph streets, when he parted with his brother, C. H.

Ebersol, and two friends. Lloyd Ford and J. R. Butzow, to take a Wells street car. It seems to be the presumption of his family that he took the car and was waylaid near his home by thugs waiting for him.

Mr. Ebersol was foreman in the new process department of George M. Clark stove establishment, and Tuesday is the pay day. Many are of the opinion that a band of thugs in the hood was acquainted with this fact. His home is but a few doors from the corner 'of Wells street, and there are no business houses in the vicinity except a drug and two or three saloons.

Mr. Ebersol occupied the third flat. Adjoining the house is a dark, narrow alley, and it is the theory that he was dragged into this alley, robbed, and murdered. Others are inclined to think that he walked home, as the street cars were erowded, and while crossing the Dearborn street or Clark street bridge met with foul play. Three ruffians attempted to hold up Mr.

Ebersol the night of March 5. That ing he took his first Masonic degree, ing home, by way of the North State street line, with his brother, John who resides at No. 373 North State street. As he went across to his home he was met by three men, who tried to stop him. One of these was a discharged employe of George M.

Clark it is claimed. He succeded then in warding them off. Thursday night between 11 and 12 o'clock 80 attempt was made to burglarize Mr. Ebersol's house. A man was discovered in the kitchen by Mrs.

Ebersol, who at once barred the doors to keep him from the front part of the house. She ran out to secure policeman, but none could be found in the neighborhood. After endeavoring to arouse one a half-drunken man on the street offered to go and aid her in evicting the would-be burglar. Frightened by the noise, the intruder hastened down the fire escape without accomplishing his He was not seen and hence there is no clew to his identity. Inspector Schaack has detailed detectives on the Mrs.

Ebersol is distracted with believing that her husband has been murdered. KEMPERMAN'S DEFENSE IS STRONG Claims Be Fired. Shots the Time Donald Murdered. chi Closing arguments were made yesterday before Stein in the Kemperman murder trial. The evidence was concluded at the morning session.

He did not see John Kemperman have a revolver. number of charaoter witnesses were on the" stand, and the defense closed. prat Attorney Hughes moved to strike out the evidence that had been introduced to show that John Kemperman acted in self-defense, as the claim was set up that no case had been made out against him. Tne court would not allow this, because the counsel for the defense said repeatedly that the shots were fired self-defense.

The attorney contended that be had not said in that connection John Kemperman fired them. The court replied that he so understood it, and ordered that arguments proceed. RARE COLLECTION OF FOSSILS. W. C.

Egan Makes a Valuable Gift to the Academy of Sciences. One of the most valuable collections yet presented to the Academy of Sciences was given to that institution Tuesday by W. C. Egan. It consists of 10,000 rare fossils, all labeled and neatly cased.

Curator Frank C. Baker was very enthuslastic when exhibiting the gift yesterday. He thinks the collection of Cook County fossils, representing the Niagara period of the upper silurian age, is the most valuable of the kind in existence. Most of the specimens are absolatelv rerfect, 100 of them being used as types to illustrate monographs. Accompanying this collection are cases of Illinois, Onio, and New York fossils of all epochs.

These will soon be mounted for the gallery exhibition. Assistant Curator Frank M. Woodruff has added some valuable birds to the ornithological collection. These he obtained while on a hunting expedition at Liverpool, a few days ago in the interest of the academy. This swampy locality is a favorite rendezvous for ducks while migrating northward.

The birds procured are splendid specimens, including a shoveler duck. shell drake, wigeon surike, and snow bunting. The academy announces another of its free, Popular, lectures, Monday evening, when O. Foster will speak on "Earthquakes, Mountains, and Volcanoes. NO TRACE OF THE LELAND BONDS.

COver a hundred of the former students and friends of Knox College met at the annual banquet of the Koox Coliege Club at the Union League Club last evening.

After the banquet the toasts were sponded to, Dr. W. S. Harvey, president the clut, acting as toastmaster. Colonel Carr, of Galesburg.

where the college is located, after referring to the great university of Copenhagen, said in part: Knox College is not and never will be 3 rival of the great universities, but she is. on the other hand, a supporter, and, I may say, a feeder, to the great universities. Paradoxical as it may appear, the greatest weakness of Knox College today is in its strength. It is because the college has prospered in so great a degree in increasing vastly the number of students, nearly 700 now crowding its balls. The numbers have augmented in so great a degree, coming from the ability and popularity, I may say, of our young president and our splendid corps of professors.

There are hundreds of men in Chicago and thousands of men throughout the Northwest who todav are seeking opportunity to place certain moieties of the capitai with which Providence has blessed them in places where it will accomplish the greatest results for good. I ask you and I hope you will propound the question to them, whether it is not better to give of their substance to an institution which is overcrowded with students, which shown its ability and capacity for edueation, rather than to new and untried enterprises, however flattering they may appear to be. Knox College 1S fifty -seven years old, and during all these fifty-seven years it has been managed by as careful and prudent and conscientious aud economical a board of trustees as has ever had charge of a similar enterprise. The institution can point with the greatest satisfaction to her representatives throughout the United States. If she had only those who represent her prominent positions of usefulness and honor in this city of Chicago, she would be worthy of the highest commendation and the support of good men.

Dr. D. K. Pearsons advocated the coeducation of girls and boys, and that a general canvass be made of friends of the college and of the whole magnificent country for one hundred miles around Galesburg to secure funds to build a scientitic hall. Among those present were: Messrs.

John Farson gave dinner at the Union League Club in honor of Judge Charies G. Neely and the candidates of the Citizens' ticket in the Town of Cicero, and it was very enjoyable affair. The following gentlemen were present: Messrs. John Farson, T. C.

Hutchin- Frankland, Farson. son, At the last David Oliphant, candidate for president of the Town Board, was obliged to read regrets, expressing the hope that the "recent unpleasantness" would not ruffle the pleasant. relations hitherto enjoyed by the east and west ends of North Cicero, With the coffee and cigars came a round of extemporaneous utterance, whose genial and witty keynote was struck by Chairman Farson and bar added to the opera by each and every oratoric star. Cicero, most eloquent of the Romans, is, indeed, 6tly commemorated in Chicago's great citysuburb on the West. The president of the Cicero Town Board, H.

D. Pierre, was one of the most applauded, and the town attorney of Cicero, H. R. Pebbles, divided the honors both in manner and material. Serious problems, as all declared, confront the new administration, but the new helmsmen are equal to the tasks imposed.

"Gentlemen, there came to this city few years ago," said mine host, Mr. Farson, young man from the country. who landed here without friends. without money, his capital consisting of an honest heart, willing hands, and determination to succeed. I have watched the career of that young man with great interest.

He is with us tonight. You have honored yourself by calling him to the position of Circuit Judge, a position which he will adorn and ornament. Gentlemen, take pleasure in introducing to you Hon. Charles G. Judge Neely, in the course of his frequently applauded informal address, compared Cicero to his own suburban residence, Evanston.

When candidate a few days ago he would have given a great deal to know just how to bear himself toward the Town of Cicero and its pending test, and through the gentlemen present he expressed his acknowledgments for the very large and complimentary vote the town had cast for him. It was great compliment to our institutions that after so severe a struggle all parties at once accepted the verdict of the people. The chair had said there were Methodists present, and also Presbyterians, of whom the was one, and, of course, he believed in the doctrine of election. The speaker, referring to Mr. Farson's very active interest in Oak Park and all Cicero, said be understood that Mr.

Farson was to be the president of the Board of Education, than which no honor Was higher, having as its very genesis the welfare of man's upper story. When intelligence and conscience went hand 10 hand, as they did so largely in this great community, there was the only ruler of divine right. THE MOLIERE CLUB.
