This money has nue and Emerson street and Ridge I all been expended in conducting the avenue, the place of the accident, sa fe. Young Billings was released from cus- tody and exonerated of all blame Fri- day by the coroner's Jury which in- vestigated the death of the boy. In the verdict the jury declared it did not believe that Billings was crim- inally negligent in driving his car and that the dangerous crossing at which the accident occurred was probably re- sponsible for the death of the Chicago youth. Hayes Boy Testified.

'ANOTHER SPORT," NEW ORDER FOR HASH It's many a day since a waiter in a quick lunch cafe first ordered a pair of poached eggs as "Adam and Siren on a raft" Long ago "Ship- wreck two" meant two scrambled eggs; "stack 'em with a brownstone" is perfectly plain for an order of gird- die cakes and a Jug of syrup. ^Smother a little one" has for mafiy moons meant that some one de- gired a small Steak smothered in Anions, but an Evanston waiter is the %oy who has developed a new one.

The directors of the institute claim that $1,000 is necesary far the con- tinuation of the work during the com- ing year. Physicians claim that a low estimate of the sufferers of the white plague in this city is 200 persons. Twenty-five Now Being Cared For. More than twenty-five are now being cared for at the present time at the Chicago Fresh Air hospital and the Waukegan tent colony. If fund's are not forthcoming within the near fu- ture these patients will have to be re- moved to theiT homes, which in near- ly every case would mean death to the patient This is the first time in the history of the Evanston institution that an open appeal to the public has been made for funds. This course, accord- ing to the officers, is absolutely neces- sary if the work is to continue. In order to secure funds the insti- tute has arranged the following mem bership plan in the hope that they may have at least one representative in every home in this city: Annual patrons, those contributing $25 per year; annual donors, those contribut- ing $10 per year; annual contributors, those contributing $5 per year; active member, those contributing $2 per year, and associate member, those con- tributing $1 per year. Everybody Can Assist. This plan makes it possible for every citizen to assist in this worthy work which has proven so necessary here. Any person desiring to help the cause can do so by mailing a check for any amount to James Rus- sell Smart, 1580 Sherman avenue, the treasurer. The other officers are, Dr. W. G. Al exander, president; Dr. W. C. Dan- forth, secretary; Mrs. W. M. Turner, Dr. S. Victor Balderston, Mrs. Peter C. Lutkin, the Rev. James Widison Stifler and Mayor Joseph E, r^den, members of executive committei PAPER BALING MACHINE The paper baling press recently pur- chased jfoy .^vanston was put into S service \ Thursday baling up old paper thlt^was picked up in the rear of the busmees^ blocks. The old way ot getting rid of old paper was slow and rather expensive. The men had to pile It in a wagon and when the wagon was filled take it to the city yards and burn it With the baling press the paper will be done up in bales and sold. While the price of old paper is not very much the large amount picked up by the city's men will, be a tidy sum. The press, which is on a wagon, was being used in the Davis street busi- ness section last, week. It will be used at Dempster, Main and other places where it^jp found that the waste paper is plentiful. NO TAX; ARRESTED. ;.., John Morkowskl was Thmrsday f or not hmrlng a motor to- hlele ta*.
