John C. Buckner, colored, who died yesterday at the age of 55. was born near Joliet. He came to Chicago in youth, an orphan. He became the prot6g4 of Uncle" Dan Scott and successively was head party man for the Kinsey Catering company and manager for the Smiley Catering company.

He was active in the politics of the Second ward and served in the Forty-first and Forty-second general assemblies, and was alert in debate and eloquent. He organized the old Ninth battalion. I. N. G.

A' situation would be a piece of inexcusable I cruelty. I do not know what I could have said in an unwritten address which gave the impression that I entertained any such thought. I suppose some unguarded sentence or Word was so interpreted. I beg to say that neither I nor any member of the commission entertains any hope of solving the problem of unemployment in Chicago in so complete a way. I wish indeed we were sure it could be done.

The commission is studying the problem and has already among other things suggested: municipal employment be given the unemployed sa far as it is possible without displacing men already at work. SecondThat a superintendent of unemployment be employed to work under the direction of the city health department to find employment for out of work men and women with various employers of labor in Chicago and vicinity. These propositions were presented to Mayor Harrison and with his cordial cooperation steps were linmedlately taken to put them into practical operation. The health department finance committee and city council showed a sympathetic interest in any.and all methods for relieving the unemployed. It ishoped in a few days to be able to report the work in practical operation.

The commission sincerely hope that many men may have work found them in this way. We have no golden dreams of solving the Problem of unemployment, but hope it will prove a step in the right direction. Other cities have tried this successfully. England has been doings this for twenty-five years. First the self-respect of men honestly wanting work will be preserved by giving them work instead of charity.

Secondly, the opportunity to work so far as it can be arranged win differentiate the man who wants work from the man who does not want to work. The problem of vagrancy and the problem of the man willing to work are different problems and must be handled in different ways. If Chicago can advertise that she Is trying to find work 1 for men instead of merely providing charity thousands who do not really want work will not make their way to our city every winter for theirshare of the doles. In the interest of What the commission Is really trying to do as well as it can under the circumstances will you give this communication a place in your public spirited paper? R. A.

Gen. Salvador Mercado, commander in giblet of the federal army of the north. made this definite assertion In his camp there today.

He said Ojinaga will be evacuated and the entire federal army under his command would march toward Chthuatua. We came here to replenish our provision pea and to communicate with the war department at Mexico City," continued Gen. Mercado.

EA it1 The Italian government has established a lodging house for poor Italians in Chicago.

As far as could be remembered at the various Chicago consulates. this is the first time that one nation has ever established a charitable institution for the poor of its nationality in some other nation. The Italian Government Lodging house will be opened net week. The work of remodeling a four story brick building at Polk and Little streets in which the Italian lodgers will be installed is now In progress. The Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart will manage the institution.

-which will operate in connection with the Columbus Extension hospital. Consul Takes Initiative. Giulio Bolognesi. Italian consul in Chicago, is the instigator of the new departure in international charity. Large numbers of Italian workingmen and laborers who aro out of work in Chicago have been applying to the consulate for help for weeks.

The consul is the distributor of a fund, set aside by the government at Rome for charitable purposes. More good can be done by housing these people and looking after them," said the consul last night. than by doling out temporary relief. At the lodging house we will be able to accommodate thirty lodgers night, men. women, and children." PROBLEMS OF COMMISSION.

Chicago, Dec. IT.IEditor of The Tribune. In a morning editorial in THE TRIBUNE I am quoted as saying that the commission on unemployment would be able to offer some sort of employment to practically every man seeking honest labor." Further the editorial says that such golden promises of work are misleading and harmful to the city as much as to the unemployed." I fully agree with this statement. Neither the city nor the commission is in any position to do anything of the kind. To practically promise work to all or to a majority of the unemployed at this time would be to raise hopes among the honest unemployed absolutely impossible of fulfillment Such a promise in elle face of the present Rebels Cut Off Juarez.

Mexico. Dec. Gen. liercado's statement at Ojinaga that the lederals would attempt to recapture Chihuahua. Gen.

Benavides, rebel commander at Juarez, said today that the rebels were preparing for an active campaign southward. "It was Gen. Villa's intention after reaching Chihuahua to carry the campaign southward. and that intention has not been abandoned," Gen. Benavides said.

Already 2,000 rebels are near Ojinaga. If the federals attempt to march from the border they will be attacked." El tt Man Killed by Train.

He wore a long- dark gray overcoat. a gray shirt, a gray snit, and black William A.

Giles, for many years identified with civic affairs in Chicago. died yesterday at his ranch near Phoenix. Ariz. He was senior partner of Giles wholesale jewelers. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

Mr. Giles came to Chicago in 1S62. He was born in Massachusetts in 1836 and, after educating himself, taught school when 17 years old. His business success in Chicago was rapid and he retired in the early eighties. thereafter giving much time to the study of economic and municipal questions.

He was a member of several clubs and.quasipublic bodies and as chairman of the municipal committee of the Civic Federation of Chicago was one of those responsible for the passage. of the civil service bill and other reform measures. Mr. Giles went to his Arizona ranch six weeks ago and was reported to be in normal health' until when seized with apoplexy. from which he did not recover consciousness.

Surviving him are his widow. Mrs. Elizabeth Harper Giles of 2537 Michigan avenue, and four children. They are Miss Anne H. and William S.

D. C. Dec. Letcher has advised the state department that many' reports of maltreatment of Americans in Chihuahua are without foundation. The department issued this statement: "Consul reports that many of the statements published in the El Paso press relative to conduct visited on Americans since the entry of the Constitutionalist forces into Chihuahua are without foundation.

as also are reports of discourtesy to him on the 'part of the revolutionist leader." BELIEF OF MONEY CHAOS. Mexico City. Dec. presidential decree making the state bank notes legal tender throughout the republic. a guarantee fund to be subscribed by the state banks and deposited in the national bank.

and finally a government guarantee of the bank notes is the program decided upon by five bankers, representing the National, the Bank of lam-don and Mexico. and two or three other concerns, who met this afternoon with the acting bead of the finance department. No difficulty is anticipated in having President Buena issue the decree. the bankers deeming this the only means of maintaining in circulation a sufficient amount of the medium of exchange. The management of the Central bank exhausted the reserve deposit funds Of oniF three more state banks today by adroit delay in paying and by refusal to accept more than, 20 per cent of the bills offered for redemption.

Long before the regular hour of opening a deuble line of holders of notes stretched a block from the doors. and when the bank closed this afternoon those half way in the line at the beginning had not reached the paying teller's window. Zapatistas looted and burned the town of Los Reyes. about ten rndles from Mexico City on the Inter-Oceanic this afternoon. Twenty-six of the townspeople were killed.
