The offer WEIS. made by President Alexander A. McCormick of the county board. The sudden cold is expected to tpur the authorities to quick action in an effort to prevtnt suffering. It is estimated the floor would provide bed room for boo men.

and more could be housed in an emergency. If the ninth floor proves inadequate. Mr. McCormiek proposes the city and eounty throw open the corridors of their respective buildings. Thousands could be housed in this way, it is said.

While Mr. McCormick was announcing this offer the local Federation of Labor was adopting a resolution placing its assistance at the command of the city in caring this winter for the 100.4410 idle men in Chicago." The labor leaders axe expected to back Mr. McCormick's plan. He will ask the county board at its meeting this afternoon to make a formal offer of the ninth floor space. Urges Immediate Remedy.

If the city doesn't accept the McCormick said. I will try to have the county use the space for that purpose. We must provide for the shelterless men. We cannot stop to inquire as to the cause of their condition. We Juliet remedy it now.

"rhe ninth floor of the county building is unoccupied. It is unfinished and has -steam heat with room enough to accommodate Cob men. The men could us -e the whole floor not only for sleep but for shelter during the day while this cold snap is on. If there is not enough room. the hails and corridors of the city hall and county building can be used.

It will cost us nothing, and it wont cost the city much more. Cots will not be necessary. Mattresses will do just as well. The churches might be used also for these men. But there Is another reason why I favor the county building idea.

It would be interesting for those men without jobs who want work to wander around the county building and see those men who have jebs but don't work."

SHOPS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW-PAGE 17 She Calls on Watson. On Sept. 7, 1911. Mrs. Coney went to the Watson residence and was met at the front door by Watson.

After a spirited conversation on the door step. Mr. Watson slammed the door. leaving the caller on the outside. It was supposed at the time that the subject of the spirited door step conversation was the report that Watson was soon to marry the daughter of LeRoy W.

Sinclair, hotel owner at West Baden, for whom he had drawn plans for a large hotel. Mrs. Coney then laid siege. Watson sought to leave his house by the rear way. Mrs Coney, anticipating the move, was waiting In an alley.

As the architect tripped down the stairs he looked into the muzzle of a pearl handled revolver which Mrs. Coney had drawn from the patent leather recticule. Go away; I don't want to talk to you." Mr. IN'atson was heard to say. She Fires Three Shots.

Mrs. Coney fired. The bullet grazed the architect's head above the right ear. The shooting aroused the neighborhood. John B.

Coney took up the chase. weapon in hand. She was joined by Patrolman James O'Brien and Ritchie. both of whom thought the well dressed woman was chasing a burglar. At Central Park avenue and Adams street, Watson flung himself into a milk wagon at the curb.

Pm shot! he shouted to the driver. Take me to the drug store at Monroe street and Central Park avenue. Whip up the horse. There's a woman after me with a gun. "I Shot a-Man; That's All." With the quarry escaped.

O'Brien and Ritchie, turned to Mrs. Coney for explanations. I shot a man; that's all." replied Mrs. Coney. Who is he? O'Brien asked.

Your husband? No." Mrs. Coney but he ought to be. Here. take this. I am through with it now.

he concluded. handing over the revolver. The victim of the ambush was attended at a hospital. Mrs. Coney was taken to a police station.

where she made a statement which concluded with I don't regret shooting him. but I am glad he will not die. I wanted to frighten him more than anything else." CHAPTER H.

Montgomery Ward, founder of the first mall order business and equally well known In Chicago as the watchdog of tbe lake front," died yesterday at his residence in Iilehland Park. Ile was 70 years old. but mentally keen to the last. Pulmonary oedema, a Epecies of pneumonia, was given as the cause. largely Induced by a fall about six weeks ago In which he fractured his hip.

He also had been a suffereV from Bright's disease. Death occurred a few minutes before 9 a. rrt, while his wife. Ms daughter, Marjorie, his partner and brother-in-law, George R. Thorne, and a few nieces and nephewa were present, in addition to Doctors Joseph P.

Cobb and C. E. Kahlke of Chicago and A. R. Sheldon of Highland Park.

Leaves Fortune. The mall order pioneer. who started hie business career at 25 cents a day. leaves a fortune conservatively estimated by relae tives and friends at about $15.000.000. cone sisting chiefly of a large proportion of the stock In A.

Montgomery Ward of which he retained the title of president, though retiring In 1901 from active Ill en t. Of greater importance to Mr. Ward. he lived to see a change in public opinion tee garding his SUCCebSfIll fight of more thee twenty years to keep buildings of all kinda from Grant park. This Involved litigation which four times carried him to the Illinole Supreme court and as often brought tories.

It has been estimated that Air. Ward spent at least $150,000 In the light which ha termed for the poor people of Chicago-, not the millionaires." He lived to see his mind disabused of the view he expressed four years ago when he said: 1 have nothing at stake in this fighe but the good of the people now and for future generations. Perhaps 1 may see the publio appreciate my efforts-but 1 doubt it." Fight May Be Continued. There is a general impression Mr. Ward left a provision in his will for a continuance of the defense of Grant park against building encroachments.

James W. Thorne, one of his nephews, said that but two persona knew if such a provision exists-Mr. Ward and the attorney who had won bis many battles, George P. Merrick. The lawyer dee clined to comment.

Mr. Ward and the company which bears his name have disposed of all their Michigan avenue property, but still maintain their right of easement-and legal protest-by mortgages on the property. If this should lapse there are two other men willing- to cone tinue the Grant. park fight-Levy Mayere lawyer and owner of the Stratford hotel erty, and James A. Patten, the grain opera ator, who owns some pieces of Michigan avenue property.

The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Highland parle residence. Burial will be at Rosebill. The Rev. Albert J. McCartney, pastor of the Kenwood Evangelical church.

will preaoll the funeral sermon. The pallbearers will be selected today. A Npeclal ear will be ate tached to the Northwes' i train leaving Chicago at 12:45 p. to. for Chicago Mende attending the services.

Of these, probably are full blooded Indians, yti to mestizos, or mixed bloods, and 'white. The Indians. with few exeeptions. and probably huff the mestiztes are illiterate. These people have borne practically nil th burdens of Mexico and reaped none of the rewards.

Laree numbers of them are discontented with the unjust social, economic, and political conditions, and will not be contented nor abstoin irotn disorder until xisting conditiors are remedied. Difficult Problems Are Involved. The correction of the abuses which they licitly complain of involves all the difficult problems insepnrable from any attempt to Wielt a smi-civilized people hieher soeial, economic. and political conditions. While making up the greater part or the Mexican popuintion, they are absolutely incapable of themselves setting up.

much less maintaining, a democra tie government. Those who taken up arms have for the most part no coneeption of what self-government 111P11 Ds. Their intentions are too often limited to nothing more than a desire for revenge for ininries sulTerod and I prPvention of the repetition of these injuries. They will be discontented with aly government which does not imme(Iiately redress what they consider to l)e their 1 wrongs. Putting this class in a condition to have a real conception of affairs lind to be capable of 'self-government menns generations of slow, patient, and persistent work.

Upper Class Free of Burdens. The greater pnrt of the million whites, with a large number of mestizos, make up the upper class, which has never. as class, borne any of the Mexicans' burdens and has always reaped the benefits With a few startling exceptions. they have to desire nor intention of doing the generations of slow. patient.

and persistent work necessary to bring the nrajority of their coutrymen to the point where they will be able to participate in their own government. They believe in the system which has obtained, by which they have so much benefited, and wish its continuance. Rather than give up their advantazeotes Position, they AVill welcome city foreign, interference which Avill sopport them and their views. Indifferent as to Issues. A comparatively sneall number of mestizos.

with a few whites. make up the Mexican middle lass. Though most 4)f them have isloeation enongh to take part in their own government, many a re not on the issues invoiced. and many Ire indifferent. This results in ft laek of unity.

Die to this end the smallness of their numbers. they are not strong enough. even if they had the ability, which many doubt, to on the one hand make an eed t3 the special Privileges of the upper class, while on the ether opening up to the lower class that Cow development which alone could tit them to take a full share in the govern-tent of the nation. Ambitious for Personal Gains. In Mexieo there tire many umbitlous leaders.

The labor resolution pointed out the Ooo idle men in Chicago have no place to sleep and no money to buy food In a resolution from the International Association of Machinists the Chieago Federation of Labor was asked to aid the idle men by coiiperating with the city on the treJst effective plan. After considerable discussion by the delegates on the reasons for the large number of idle men the question of aid was referred to the executive board with instructions to take the question up with the city council. The officials of the federation thought Chicago would have more unemployed men to care for this year than in any other year in its history. Business conditions and a government with no scheme for meeting such an emergency.

they charged are responsible for the destitution. Peace Scheme Explained. The scheme of the Garton foundation for universal peace was explained to the labor delegates by Bernard Noel Langdon-Davies. who is touring America in the interests of tie movement. Mr.

Langdon-Davies charged nations were kept poor by using large sums of money c7 year for battleships and armaments. Nations should got rid of their armaments," he said. Labor pays the mass of the taxes to buy it. and labor does the fighting when it comes to war. Armaments are not necessary for the commerce of a nation.

Switzerland has no navy. yet it is the most prosperous country in the world. Norway has practically no navy, yet its commerce is eagerly sought by other nations. If the nation Las the goods another nation wants, it doesn't need a navy to force another nation to buy. I decry the strike as a means of protesting against war.

By a campaign of education I believe it is possible to show nations where the large expenditures for armament are unnecessary." The members of the various unions were urged by Delegate ()dander to write their congressmen to support the bill in the house this week. Hanrahan Advocates Big Work, Richard T.

The organization did not act specifically on Mr. Hanrahan's suggestion. but did authorize the preparation of a resolution commending the Wilson policies generally and particularly his attitude toward Mexico.

hundred and ninety-seven passengers were taken off the steamer Rio Grande at sea this morning while the big ship was on fire and thought to be in danger. The rescue was made by the British steamship Swan-more, bound from Liverpool for Baltimore. The latter steamer heard the Rio Grande's call for assistance about 2 o'clock this morning and went immediately to its side. The Swanmore was almost alongside the burning vessel at 4 o'clock. and in response to signals lowered lifeboats and sent them to the burning ship.

The Rio Grande also had its lifeboats ready when the Swanmore reached it. They were hanging in their davits loaded with passengers. The rescue was made 205 miles northwest of Diamond Shoals during a severe southwest blow. There was a high sea. but there was such perfect discipline among the crews of both ships that not a boat was jammed against the sides of either ship.

The crew on the Rio Grande, almost exhausted by their fight with fire, were eager to take the passengers to safety. Wireless reports. while meager. state that after the Swanmore had taken all the passengers on hoard its crew helped to tight the fire on the Rio Grande.
