That is another record set by The Tribune hospital at Algonquin. The boys name is Dick. Ho was suspended from school a few months ago because the teacher said he would not keep still, kept making a noise and disturbing the school. He was taken back and suspended again. His mother, with whom he lived, and who has been ill with nervous trouble for some time, had been, having a great deal of trouble with him, and when -the teacher suspended him from school.

she decided that he must be a mighty bad boy. After some stormy weeks at home she decided to appeal to the Juvenile court and have her boy put in some reform school She thought that would be the only way to make him good- But a visiting nurse, who knew of the case, had strange ideas as to Dick's wickedness. She was of the opinion that be was not bad at ail, only sick. She said he was suffering from nsrvousnese that made him irritable and noisy and disobeddent. No one who knew Dick in his tenement home or in the crowded school took much stock in this theory.

Dick was bad and ought to be sent to a reform school, they said. Great Change Is Effected. But the nurse brought the case to the attention of Miss Holmes of the bureau of charities, and at her instance Dick was taken to the cool, quiet hospital out on the banks of the Fox river. And there in two days a wonderful transformation has taken place. Dick has become a model boy.

He has not had a quarrel since his arrival. He is not driving all with whom he comes in contact to desperation with meanness and foul language. He is not bullying those smaller -than himself. He is just having a mighty good time, eating three square meals a day and sleeping sound and long at night. And the doctor says he is being rapidly cured, not of badness, but of St.

'Mule dance. Every One Wants to Stay. Miss Holmes has gone out to Algonquin to spend Sunday and to pick out a number of patients to send back to Chicago. "It is Bs of the hardest tasks imaginable." she said yesterday before leaving. "Every one wants to stay, and it seems almost impossible to tell any of them that they must go back to all the misery and trouble from which they have had a few short weeks of reprieve.

But there are so many waiting to go, so many in vital need the change, that we must make room or them by sending back. all we possibly can." re as ..1...,,, 1' 1P1L, 4 Ale i tet 1 NIP 14 II. i Al 1 4 IC- I i- I Nino- i i.

Further details showing how the Rhodus brother traded on the Dames of prominent roen in their financial operations and bow well known Chicago bankers and businees men were Inveigled into giving them high recommetidations were obtained by THE TRIBUNE yesterday. The evidence of how completely birMness men and financiers were duped by the methods of the Rhodus brothers Ike in letters sent to a prospective purchaser of stock in the Central Life Securities compeer. Many of these letters were written as late as last December and January and after several libel suits brought by the Rhodus concerns had been dismissed or decided adversely.

Here are the responses to a general inquiry concerning the Rhodus brothers' proposed bank, their business and financial standing, and the likelihood of success in the insurance branch of the corporation. Writes of Reliability. Ralph: N. Ba liou, cashier of the National Produce bank, wrote: This company- has carried a satisfactory account with us and its officers stand well in the community. The Rhodus brothers.

who are in charge of the management of this company, are men of high efficiency In, their line. and we believe their companies have been eminently successful. We have every reason to believe they are reliable business men. but. of course, we would not wish to be understood as recommending the purchase of stock in any of their companies.

for It is the policy of this bank not to recommend an Investment of arty stock or security whatever. One of their managers, Mr. Pegr. am. I have been personally acquainted wtili a number of years, and always have found him to be a man Of his word and reliable in all his dealings.

I am not in touch with the market on this Insurance company's stock. but should you care to dispoee of it I think it would be well to take the matter up with the head office. Or we can E130 refer you to Burnhazn, Butler Co. and Edward) Dickinson evho; are brokers handling unlimited securities." Indorsed by Schlytern. Charles E.

Schlytern, president of theUtion bank, wrote: I have confidence in the prospects of the Central Life Securities company and am a stockholder therein. My personal knowledge, of the Rhod us brothers extends over a period of twelve years or more, and my opinion of them is in every respect favorable. As to the barteing enterprise which I understand they are promoting, I do not wish to express any opinion. It may be that as a banker I am prejudiced against any innovations in banking methods, and therefore cannot see the proposition in the same light as the promoters do." Oliver F. Smith, president of the Citizens' Trust and Savings bank, echoed the good opinion.

as follows: As you already are a stockholder in that concern, you may know more of it than we do, as we have had no occasion to investigate, but the writer Is personally acquainted with the Rhodium brothers, especially with B. F. Rhodus, whom he ha known for a number of years. We have always heard them spoken 'well of. being men of means and business ability.

They have a reputation also of making a success of their undertakings, and from reliable sources I know that they have made considerable money In the last few years." Ferdinand W. Peck replied in this wise: My information of the company is favorble and I note among the subscribers some of the best names in the country." Operations Further Exposed. The maze of financial operations of the Rhoduses received another chapter when THE TRIBUNE obtained a copy of a circular sent out ly the Rhodus brothers soliciting subscriptions for stock of the Mercantile Securities company, which was to be the holding company for their proposed Mercantile Trust and Savings bank, to be located in the Old Colony building. The bank, in turn, was to be the repository of the funds derived from the Republic Life Insurance company of -Jut how the Rhoduaes derived funds is shown by the applications for Mercantile Securities stock which they sent out. The beading of the application reads: I hereby purchase shares of full paid and non-assessable preferred stock of the Mercantile Securities company, a corporation of Maine, of a par value of $10 each, and I agree to pay for same at the rate of $15 a share." On every such purchase the Rhodus brothers received a premium of $5 per share and the company is reported never to have declared a dividend.

Project Not Abandoned. That Birch F. Rbod us, prospective vice pres-tdent of the prospective Mercantile Trust and Savings bank. has not abandoned the project is shown in a letter sent to stockholders of the Central Life Securities company on Friday- The letter, incidentally, may cause trouble for him before Judge Kohlsaat. At the hearing on Thursday, Judge Kohlestat asked whether the company or Birch F.

Rhodus, as an individual, was sending out letters concerning the company. Attorney Moses said Mr. Rhodus had sent letters to stockholders as an individual. among them the petition to the court to dismiss the receiver. but was not sending any at that time.

The last letter, dated June 20. contradicts Mr. Moses' assurances to the court. In part the letter is as follows: It is extremely gratifying to me to Dee the cordial support I am receiving from the stockholders. but your 50 cents a share is needed.

The parade preceded the initiation of 101 candidates in the finest maigonio te trple in northern- Indiana. A banquet; attended by several thousand masons.

followed the initiation. The festivities were in honor of the initiation of the first class in the temple recently erected by the Hammond masons. More than 1,000 shriners from Medinah tempbe made a pilgrimage from Chicago to take part in the ceremonies. From Murat templeiln Indianapolis came 500 more. It was the first time that Murat temple ever participated in masonic ceremonies outside the city of Indianapolis.

Thousands of masons came from the towns within a radius of a hundred miles to witness the big doings. As a result the town was opened wide for the first time in years. The saloonkeepers were notified that the 11 o'clock closing law was. for the night, a dead letter, and Chief of Police Fred Rimbach gave his men orders not to arrest masons. rfIT A STAFF Boston, June 27.Special.It Is not often that Mrs.

Sarah Platt Decker speaks her whole mind. She believes in harmony and quiet, and such things. Now and then. however, in the course her four years' experience as president of the National Federation of Wometes clubs. an occasion has come for the unburdening of her mind and one of them came today.

The result was ono cpr two comments on the genus American clubwoman, before which the reznarks of certain well known male critics turn pale and fade into insignificance It may be unparliamentary," said. Mrs. Decker, at the morning of the convention. but I have some observations to make at this point In, the last four years I have visited woman's clubs in forty states. In not a single club have I ever found a genuine household economic program.

They, youdiscuss such topics as these: Home and Mother, Filial Obedience, Duties of a Mother 'poor mother. Most of the committees of this federation came in at the bottom and have made their way up. The household economies committee was put in at the top and will never go down. Why. I visited a household economics sesion in one little town out west.

There wasn't a thing in that place for miles around but a three legged stove that wouldn't draw and they devoted. the whole session to electric cookery. Wants Everyday Qp.estions Solved. Household economies! Well. I married a widower with a large family of children.

Do you think I took a list of things containing protelds and albumenoldit and sat dOwn in the kitchen and figured. It out? Why. I hadn't a moment for that. What I plead for is something that will help the woman at the bottom. I haven't an electric kitchen.

I have to economize. I never saw this subject On woman's club programs. If a man has a salary of $1.000, how many times a week can a family have beefsteak at 81 cents a pound? How is the woman with an electric kitchen going to help the woman who has to economize? That is the question you ought to consider if you are 'going to talk electric cookery. "If you could evolve a pleasant, agreeable, satisfactory way of washing dishes and could spread it through this convention should be immortal." Economics Committee Saved. The immediate occasion of Mrs.

Decker's caustic remarks was the discussion on the question of abolishing the national household economics committee. This was the most radical recommendation made by the president in her annual report, and it started the first real contest on the floor of the convention. By the score delegate clamored at once for recognition to advocate the retention of the committee or its abolishment, or to reply to Mrs. Decker's charges. We need all the household economics we can get," shouted one delegate.

I know a club woman who roasted a whole chicken with its gullet unopened." In the end Mrs. Decker was defeated. The motion to postpone the whole discussion. so some of the delegates could go On an excursion to Salem was defeated and when the original question was called the convention voted for the committee by an overwhelming majority. All right." said Mrs.

Decker, smilingly, as she declared the motion lost, now do something practical." Eight ch an es Are Made. Eight other recommendations made itt the president's report were carried unanimously. These had to do chiefly with reorganization of the committees. The national civic committee was reorganized into two divisions, the civic 'department and health department. The legislative committee was altered so as to include six members, one to be a resident of Washington.

A bylaw providing that the organizal tions must be 1 year old to be admitted to the federation was amended to admit the canal zone federation. This will be admitted formally at a later session. The recommendation was made by Mrs. John D. Sherman of Chicago as chairman of the revision committee.

The opening of the session was saddened by the announcement of the death of Mrs. Henry -Winn of Malden, injured in the tallyho accident at Newport yesterday. Mrs. Winn was known to be fatally jured, but the formal announcement came as a shock. A brief memorial service was held and then the business of the convention was resumed quietly.

The household economics session was led by Mrs. Margaret J. Blair of St. Paul, and included informal discussions by Mrs. Ellen H.

Richards of Boston, Mrs. Robert J. Rurdette, Los Angeles, and others. The education session followed. Mrs.

George C. Sikes of Chicago presided, as acting chairman of the education committee. Miss Desha Breckenridge of Lexington, told of the club women's educational work in her state, Miss Louisa Poppenbeim of London presented a plan for English scholarships for American women, and Dean Laura D. Gill of Barnard college spoke on Coaperation of Women's Organizations for Good Schools." Beveridge a Speaker. This evening the legislative and industrial session was held with Mrs.

Joseph Medill McCormick of Chicago, Miss Sarah Louise Arnold, dean of Simmons college, and Senator Albert J. Beveridge as the principal speakers. Senator Beveridge spoke on National Legislation on Child Labor," devoting himself chiefly to the explanation and defense of his bill for keeping child made goods out of interstate commerce. Much of his time he spent in reading descriptions of child labor conditions in the south, taken from sworn statements by Owen Lovejoy. Kellogg, Duriand, Marie Van Vorst, Elbert Hubbard, and others.

We must face these conditions if we are to correct them," he said at one point, advancing toward a woman; who had sobbed audibly at the tales of horror. These children are being poured into the great body of American citizenship degenerates. We make a great outcry if one anarchist lands on our shores, and yet we are in the midst of a system which produces 250,000 anarchists every year. The states cannot cope with this evil. The nation must do it I am a republican.

I have given the best of my life and all my energies to service of the party. But I advise any one of you to work against any candidate of any party on any platform that is against a national law to wipe this republic clean of this twentieth century curse, and I advise you to work for any candidate that is for it" Mrs. McCormick Urges Reform. Mrs. McCormick told in detail of the various phases of welfare work done by the woman's department of the National Civic federation, of which she is president.

After the dreadful examples given us by Senator Beveridge," she said, it would seem well to hear something from the optimistic point of view. Why can't we women appeal so strongly to the wives of the proprietors of these mills that they will go into the mills themselves, see the facts, and put a stop to them? That may not be practicable, but can we not ask them, anyway, how they wouldlike to have their own children work at these hours and under these conditions? Then we can get down to the serious work. I believe the suppression of child labor in the south le one of the first things we women are going to undertake and accomplish." Six Bargains in Bedroom Idroorn CHICAGO'S CALL IS EMPHATIC. "Four Barreled" Biennial Convention Invitation Extended to Women'o Federation in Boston. The Federation of Women's Clubs is going to receive a four barreled invitation to hold Its next biennial tessionin 1910in Chicago.

The women's clubs of Chicago will invite them; the Association of Commerce will add It! invitation; the mayor Chicago will promise them a hospitable'reception, and finally Dr. Julia Holmes Smith will present these invitations and add her own. Much is expected from the personal influence of Dr. Smith on the federation, for she was the only woman from Illinois to assist in organizing the General Federation of Woman's clubs in New York eighteen years ago. She ever since has been a in the movement She organized the Chicago Woman's Press club, and has been president of the Illinois WOMatt.8 Press association and theChicago Press league.
