Two Years Yet Needed To Build the Drain
age Canal

Chicago, Dec. 16.-In the message Of
President Boldenweck OF the drainage
board, just submitted, is the first pub
lie knowledge that the sanitary canal
will not be completed in the fall OF 1S9S
Heretofore the impression always has
been given out that the channel prob
ably would be opened next fall. Mr..
Boldenweck thought 1t was time the
public understood just how matters
stand, and so he came out boldly and
made the announcement. President
Boldenweck declares there yet remains
to be done 13 per cent. of the work nee
essary to complete the entire work. The
work on the channel proper, however,
lacks only 2.79 per cent. Of being COM
pleted.
The sanitary district, according to
the report, has expended up to the pres
ent, S25, PSI, ,6S9.14 With this money 1t
has acquired 6,919 acres OF land, exca-
waited 27,0s6431 cubic yards of glacial
drift 1926, ,029 cubic yards Of solid rock.
built 372,949 cubic yards or stone and
concrete retaining wall and a part Of
the bridges. This has been done in five
years. which President Boldenweck
thinks compares favorably with the
work done on other great canals.

TO KEEP THE LILY OUT
Jockey Club Aims Resolution at
Prince of Wales.
MRS. LANGTRY is NOT WANTED.

Jockey Club Society Stirred Up Over tho
Recent Action of the Prince of Wales in
Conducting the Lily Inside the Enclosure
The British Column in Northwest In-
dia In Constant Action London Fire In
vestigation Greece Wants More Time.
London. Dec. 16-The report that
Mrs. Langtry will again be taken into
society is more than offset by a resolu-
ton that has been passed by the jockey
club which is aimed directly at her and
the Prince of Wales. The resolution
says; For the future ladies other
than the wives, daughters and sisters
OF the members of the club will be ad-
mitted to the Enclosures and private
stands of the club at Newmarket and
on other race courses only on presenta-
ton of voucher. signed by member
Of the club, together with the payment
Of G1."
Until the resolution was passed a
member Of the club had right to pass
into the jockey club inclosure and into
the private stands any woman whom he
saw fit. There has been a general inn
preston that Mrs. Langtry has had the
freedom of the race track. but this is
not true.
Escorted by the Prince.
1t was on the day that her husband
died and the day that her horse, Mer-
man, won one Of the greatest racing
events of the year at Newmarket and
nearly G100,000 for Mrs. Langtry, that
the Prince of Wales conducted her into
the inclosure and within the pale of
| Jockey club society. This act-it has
generally been called breach on the
| part of his royal highness-made a
great stir. This recognition by the
Prince Of Wales gave rise to the rumcr
that Mrs. Langtry would try to regain
her old place in society and that In this
| effort she would be backed by the
| Prince of Wales influence
AS a matter of fact. 1t is doubtful If
| Mrs. Langtry has any great desire to
I get into society again, and 1t IL abso-
| lutely certain that she could not do SC
| IL she tried.
