BRi0ADIER GENERALS TO 60.

Illinois quartet of brigadier generals,
1t Is said, will lose their stars and be
relegated to private life. Gov. Tanner,
Ommander-in-chief of the Illinois Ma
tional Guard, will, 1t Is rumOred, soon
cause the order to be issued, but 1t IL
unlikely that the four officers will be
removed at once or at the same time.
The first to go will be Adjutant General
Charles Hilton, who ranks as briga-
der general. His successor will be
Brigadier General Jasper N. Reece,
who was adjutant general during the
latter part Of Gov. Filters administa-
ton.
This change will be followed by the
displacement of the other three. They
are Brigadier General Harris A. Wheel.
or, commanding the LIST brigade, with
headquarters Mt Chicago; Brlgadier
General James II. Barley, command
ing the I'd brigade, with headquarters
at Springfield; Brigadier General An.
drew Welch, commanding the Sd bril-
gade, with headquarters at Aurora.
The most important of the three CON-
mands Is the LIST brigade, composed of
the LIST infantry, Col. Henry L. Turner;
I'd infantry, Col. George NJ. Moulton;
It'll infantry, Col. Francis Kavanaugh;
9th battalion, colored infantry, Mai.
John G. Buckner; artillery battalion,
Maj. Alfred Russell; cavalry battalion,

tract for completing the work Of ex.
cavatiOn on Sec. "F." The contract for
doing this work was originally let to
Weir. McKechney Il Co.. but they for.
feited It a few weeks ago.
W. II. Stubs sent a communication
to the board. asking that he be paid
$1.355. which he claims is due him for
lodging laborers employed by Angus h
Gindele. This amount has been held
out of the money due the contractors.
inasmuch as they had neglected to full.
fill their obligations to the men they
employed.
The right of Kicker. Lee 4 Co. to
cancel their contract with the Drainage
Bonrd for the work on Sec. + Of the
canal was affirmed In the Federal Court
In a report of Master in Chanccry Shcr-
man. to whom the finding of facts was
referred by the court. Attorney Nc
Even Of the board regards the report
as equivalent to decree of the court.
and says an appeal will be taken.
Kicker. Lee h Co. in their work en-.
countered hard blue clay with gravel.
which required drilling and blasting.
The contractors demanded a rcclass.
ification. The contract had been taken
ut 2JIt cents n yard for glacial drift
ana 80 cents for rock. The majority of
the Drainage Board was against re-
classification. The firm threw up the
contract, and then the board threatened
to hold the bondsmen for the excess
cost The firm entered the suit to have
the bond relieved from responsibility
on the ground that the engineers of the
board failed to show the existence of
the cOnglomemte.

for an indefinite time"
Trustee Carter said he was opposed
to the resolution because 1t did not
mean what 1t said. He continued:
This resolution purpOrts to engage
a consulting engineer, when In fact 1t
Is intended to employ a legislative lob
byist."
Trustee Jones spoke for the Braden.
Wenter measure, giving as his reasons
that "a great amount of PROSECUTING
would be needed to secure the desired
legislation. He also spoke In the terms
of highest praise Of Mr.. CoOley's SER
vices to the board, and urged that 1t
was he who deserved the credit for the
legislation that was obtained two years
ago. He thought the board owed him
IA debt of gratitude 1t could never Ne
pay"
Trustee Eckhart in reply urged that
at that time and ever since, Mr.. Cooley
was and has been opposed to the estab--
lished policy Of the board. He said:
Had Mr.. Cooley had his way then
he would have involved this district In
an expenditure Of an additional $751;
0OO, 900, and would have extended the
work over FIVE years more"
The resolution was adopted by a vote
Of seven to two. Trustees BOldenweck
and Mallette voting with the majority,
and Trustees Eckhart and Carter alone
voting against 1t.
The other business OF the session was
OF small moment. Thomas Gahan and
Thomas Byrne, comprising the firm OF
Gahan e. Byrne, were given the con-

IMPROVING THE LAKE FRONL.

President Ellsworth of the South
Park Board introduced proposition al
Wednesdays meeting of the commits.
sioners for the expenditure of between
S3.OO0.UO and s4.OOO.OOO for the i'm.

The money was to come from bonds.
which the Legislature would be asked
to allow the board to issue.
Mr.. Ellsworth vcnturcd the s,igges.

ought to be begun at once. ana that
S3.OOO.OOO or Si.OOO.OOO would he need.
ed before the park was completed. lie
suggested that the Legislature be ask
cd to allow the park to increase Its
bonded Indebtedness to this amount.
Commissioner Donncrsbergcr declar
ed the burden would be too great fol-
the people living In the taxable dis
trict. He then suggested way for the
gradual Improvement of the Lake
Front Park without adding to the tax
cs Of the people. He said:
1.-THE board has enough money lcf

improvements that are immediatel,
necessary. We are not spending fh,

Railroad Company. His first engage.
ment In the service was az car con.
ductor, and from that position he has
advanced by steady promotions to his
present station. Mr.. Roach came to
Chicago in 1872 when he was 81 years
old. He was a native Of Virginia, but
before coming here had been in Mon.
tana and other Western States.
After working as conductor for Ave
months Mr.. Roach obtained position
In the company's offices and soon after
ward, owing to vacancy caused by
the death of the treasurer of the com.
pany, became cashier. His next pro-
motion came In 1870, when he was
made purchasing agent. In 1857 he
1888 was made manager Of the cable
department, and in 1892 became second
vice president and general manager Of
the North Chicago road.
In the fall Of 1895 an additional ONCE
was thrust upon him, that Of manager
of the North Chicago Electric, Chicago
Electric Transit and other outside lines.
With his entry on each additional
Office, Mr.. Roach has not relinquished
his previous duties-except those Of
cashier and conductor-and will retain
his control Of the North Side system
while acting as general manager Of the
West Side lines. The administration Of
the two systems, however, will be kept
entirely distinct.
Other officers Of the road were re-
elected at the directors meeting We'd
nesday. They are: President, O. 7.
Yerkes; Second Vice President, George
A. Yuille; Treasurer, Louis 8. Owsley.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP

1t begins to look as though an effort
would BIO made within fortnight to in
troduce at Springfield bill legalizing
racing In Illinois.
Those who pretend to be In "the
know" give 1t out that the measure
will become law In ample time for a
meeting Mt Washington Park. EX-
State Senator Michael McInerny. who
handled the Corrigan bills ut Spring
field, has just returned from the State
capital, and stated that the measure
had already been drafted and enough
support pledged to push 1t through both
houses and send 4 to the Governor.
The measure drawn up will call for
not more than thirty days racing In
counties Of the Arst class, fifteen In
counties of the second class, and ten In
counties of the third class. This will
give Cook County thirty days-ail that
the lovers Of the sport ask for.
But as to the time limitations?" was
asked. "Does thirty days mean that
much racing at each Of the three tracks
now In Cook COunty?"
YES" was the reply; "but there will
be clause In the bill which will limit
the number of tracks In each Of the
three classes of counties. For instance,
Cook County, being Of the first class,
will have thirty days of continuous
racing at each track, provided, how
ever, that no county Of the first class
shall have to exceed three race courses.
This will do away with the tracks of
the mushroom sort. Counties Of the
second class will be limited to two, and
Of the third class to one track each"
