PRICE FIVE CI DOWN MID OUT ill TELLS OF HUSSION Dan Batey, Friend of the Man in the Gutter, Speaks in Wil- mette. HIMSELF Was Rescued by a Mission and Is Now Doing Good for Others. A good crowd turned out last Bon* day evening to hear "Dan" Batey, su- perintendent of the largest mission in the city of Chicago, deliver sa address on "The Down and Out Men of Chi- cago." The address was delivered at the Methodist church and those who attended were well repaid for their trouble. Mr. Batey is, by profession, an elec- trical construction engineer and has traveled the world over working at hla prnfeMlftn. Hft The rush and confusion usually at- tending the opening of school is now over and the children have settled themselves for the long winter term. Superintendent Harper estimates that the Increase in membership over last year Is about forty, most of which is on the west side, where one new room was opened this fall. • While the pub- lic schools here have never had a phe- nomenal increase at any time, since Mr. Harper has been superintendent, there has been a gradual, healthy growth of about forty or forty-five each year. . Plans for the new school building which is to be erected just north of the Central street banding are rapidly nearing completion. It was at first thought that this building would be completed in time for the spring com* mencement, but owing to unavoidable delays, tt is now believed that this will be impossible, unless we have an unusually open winter- The need of more room at the Central street school is beginning to be badly felt and a double session of kindergarten is being held this year instead of the an was held last year lower of Robt.

Mr. Batey said in part: "There were 'down and oat' men in the time of David the same as there are now; la the book of Samuel, there Is re- corded a story of a man whom. David found under a bush who was hart naked, hungry and nearly dead. David gave him a square meal, put' clothe* on his hack and helped him to his feet.

Kearney, 1141 Oik nue, Evanston, was struck by a south- bound Chicago-Milwaukee electric ear at the Central street crossing. Mr. Kearney, who was driving the car, lid not see or hear the ear until it was almost on htm, and than; instead of speeding up and crossing the tracks, ho applied the emergency brake, which failed to work. Had It not been that the electric car was slowing up for the Wilmette avenue station, some of the occupants of the car would have haon badly injured, if not killed. As it was, the car was carried around parallel with the tracks and the front sale, one of the bead lights and the find it very profitable.
