4 I' Collection of a fund with which to fight pending legislation at Springfield was started last night in the Chicago police department. In practically every station of the city appeals for contributions were made at roll call. It was explained that the money was needed for expenses," and that the collection was authorized by Mayor Harrison and Acting Chief Schuettler. The request was modest in some of the police stations, being usually for fifty oeoU or a dollar," although occasionally, it was said, 25 cents satisfied. In other stations, however, it was asserted (5 to $10 was the assessment.

Under the smaller levy, about could be collected, but J5 000 was fixed as a god by the statement quoted as having been mde by one of six commanding officers who spent three days lobbying among the state lawmakers last week. There was no mystery regarding the bill against" which the lobbying had been done and Is to be done. The objectionable measure amends the police pension fund act so as to permit police matrons, about forty la number and from 125 to 150 police operators, in addition to several clerks, to come under the operation of the fund as beneficiaries, who heretofore have been limited to the patrolmen and officers. All Opposed to Matrons. Matron, and operators for years have boen trying to get in- on the pension fund, and each biennial session, of the general assembly has seen a renewal of the struggla.

Many of the bluecoats are said to have favored allowing- th operators to Join, although even as to thm the majority sentiment of the patrolmen Is to have been opposed, but as to the matrons there has been an overwhelming- antagonism. Emphatic denials that the collection was being made for a sliuh fund or for any Improper use, as for feeding a jackp," were made by the officers that composed last week's lobby. Those who made the trip were the following: Inspector John Wheeler. Inspector Nicholas Hunt. Capt.

Patrick J. Harding. Capt. Morgan A. Collins.

Lieut. Benjamin Enright- Lleut James V. Larkin. "With these six officers also went Cap. Wheeler Bartram, retired, and Sergt.

John Duffy, members of the pension board. According to one Informant, when they return to Springfield former Chief of Police Shippy will be of the party. Loeer by Stine Fund. When the Stine fund was txrmg collected it was stated to the patrolmen that two ends were in contemplation. One vaato put through tbe city council the ordinance increasing the police pay; the other was to defeat at Springfield the matrons and opera- tors' pension bill.

In view of the disappearance of about 40.no of the Stine fund, together with the custodian, it is assumed by th police that none of that fund has been available for the Springfield campaign. The Twenty-sixth precinct station, over which Lieut. Jemes V. Larkin presides, wae reported to have been one of the places where contributions of $5 to $10 were asked. Lieut Lerkin.

however, said that this was not true and that after explaining: the need of a small sum for legitimate expenses- at Springfield, he had afked only for small contributions. If the bill at Springfield is to be defeated the house must recede from Its Inclusion of the matrons, operators, and clerks Tbe senate has refused to accept these provisions, thus siding with the bluecoats. Hunt Admits Fund Collection. Inspector Hunt freely admitted that a collection was being taken up. but stated that it was only to defray legitimate traveling expenses, was limited to 2T cents for the men and 50 cents for commanding- officers.

He said that before the matter was undertaken, the consent of Mayor Harrison and Acting Chief Schuettler had been obtained at a conference in the afternoon. What can you tell about the collection of $5 to $10 a man said to have been taken up at your station for use in fighting the amendments to the police pension fund bill? Lieut. Larkin was asked. "Who told you that?" he replied. "It's from some of these operators that's sore because they know they are going to get beat." Denies Lobbying at Capital.

Well, I made a little talk this morning." What did you say?" I ain't going to explain to any one what I said In my police station.

The agitation for new national anthem started acain yesterday, this time in Chicago, and by Dr. J. B. McFatrich. president of the board of education.

He was responsible for the ruling of the board at last weeks' meeting- that the teachers in the public schools of the city ba instructed to do all they could to stimulate patriotism in their One meajis he suggested waW the singing at least twice a month of The Star Spangled Banffcr," which the president ot the board named th national anthem. Dr. McFatrich returned to his office during the day after several days spent on ait out of town trip. On his dfk were letters and papers congratulating Ha. Most of the clippings, however, were from papers asking when "The Star Spangled Banner" was named as the catior.ai anthem.

I admit that the music is hard to sing, and that tbe- words are net applicable to all occasions, but it has been a shock to see how lacking this country is in patriotism as shown by reverence for the nag and a national hymn of some rt.

There is 1 much nobler sentiment in peace, and- greatness of the republic should be used1 as a theme rather than military successes. But that song cannot be adopted, today or tomorrow, and- until it dees cornel maintain ve should revere one that we have.

ROBBED OF SI 0.C00 IN STOCKS WHILE TALKING IN OFFICE. Morgan Park may be a village once more, if a decision of the Illinois Supreme court made in VMM holds 'good in 1911. This Is the contention of the anti-annexa-tionists and their hopes are centered on the filing of a bill in chancery tomorrow by Attorney Isaiah T. Greenacre. as well as an election contest.

No matter which way the lower court decides it is expected the case will be considered by the Supreme court during the June term. Briefly, the point made by the antis Is that the ballot to be used in votes on municipal annexations must be of the "scratch" variety, which preceded the introduction of the Australian cross system. This form of ballot was not used at the Morgan Park poll on Aprii 4 by either the suburban or city voters. In the old style ballot such propositions read in this fashion: Shall the vil.age of Morgan Park be annexed to the city of Chicago," and shall the village of Morgan park be not annexed," and the voter signified his choice by scratching the proposition he did not like. Likewise in voting for candidates he scratched those he did not like and wrote the names of others inrtead.

The present law compels the voter to mark a cross opposite the names of the candidates be voted for. The Supreme court's ruling on a similar case kept Springfield from annexing East Springfield. Judge Gibbons yesterday paved the way for the removal of the fight by modifying his Injunction directed against the recently chosen president, trustees, and other village officials. The previous order that the election results should not be certified was stricken out, but the officials were enjoined against expending any village funds. This Is satisfactory to the "antis," as it permits the presence cf a full corp of officials in case the Supreme court decides in their favor.

5 Mammoth bourruetp of roses and carnations, dozens of potted plants, and spring flowers in scores of varieties shed radiiance and' reflected hues of the rainbow yesterday at Lincoln hall, 1134 Dearborn, avenue.

Members of the association and their friends had charge of the booths, arranged roses, pansies, palms, and pinks to fkillful advantage and quickly cajoled from hundreds of visitors contribution to this popular charity. During the evening the booths were pushed aside andt the hall was converted into an amateur playhouse.

Georg-e Banquet. Six hundred members of Senator William Lorimer's own society, the Order of the Sons of St, George, repudiated his election when they cheered and applauded two speeches condemning his senatorship last night. The society was holding its annual banquet at the Auditorium hotel. The speakers were State's Attorney John E. W.

Way man and the Rev. William H. Carwardine. It is with a sense of shame," said Mr. Way man, that we realize that from this state has come an assault against the government itself.

Here the name of the jackpot has been bandied about. To this state the whole world is looking to retrieve its good name." Mr. Wayman's speech followed that of the Pullman minister. It is a fine speciment of democracy that we have in Illinois," he said, a tattered democracy of graft, a democracy of the lumber trust, a democracy of the vilest use of the dollar." Cheers from all over the hall followed both references to the Illinois senatorship, although one of the rules of the order is that political matters are excluded from Us meetings.
