paign were made among the Bohr.
mlnns Of the Ninth Ward I.ociiier

Editor Eagle:
Dear Sir-rhc fa;c Of poor officer
O'Comcll, who fell of u cable car
through sheer exhaustion. supcrlnduc-
rd by OverwOrk, shows the necessity
for s0mo sort Of II protective org;niz,i.
tlon In connection with the police de,
partment. Just think of the inhumaii-
ity of II commander who will compel
his men tO work twenty hours at a
stretch without u chance even to get
Il bite of food, Yet this Is whar chief
ONelll compelled Chicago policemen
to do during the visit of Prince Hen
rs to this city. Poor O'Conncll was
50 wearlcd from his cXertl0ns in hand
ling big crowds for twenty consccu-
tive hours that he fell asleep the mo-
mcnt he struck seat In Il cable car.
At the first lurch he fell Off an sIls-
tanned injuries from which he may
die.
This Is the same Chief O'Nc!ll who
turned up his eyes in holy horror ut
the idea of police protective assorla-
ilon, and who aided Mayor Harrison IN
killing 1t off. Perhaps both these gen
tlemcn viii admit the need of such an
organization In view of the O'Conncll
incident. \ CENTRAL MAN.

II West Side reader of your paper space
10 call attention 10 one grievance in
N0lvch in the closing of Randolph
street bridge for two years or 50, that
was not pointed out To Drainage Trustee
Webb by the committee which waited |
upon him in regard to that mattcf?
The delay daily puts IN OUTRAGEOUS |
Inconvenience upon the thousands oi |
citizens who use the Ogden avenue |
street ear line to get down town.
These cars should go over the Ran |
dulph street bridge, since the street car
company, through some pervcrse stu
pdlty, refuses to hitch them on the |
Madison street ears ut the intersection |
Of that street with Ogden avenue. In |
stead of going over Randolph street
however land that Is bad enough, |
these ears switch up 10 Lake street ann
cross over that bridge. They get tan
gled up in the tremendous traffic which |
daily goes over that structure, the re-
suit being interminable stops and de-
