GET JOHN OLSON, ALIAS
RUSSELL ON ANOTHER COUNT
Police Rearrest Under Act of 1905, Pro-
curer Who Sold Edna Johnston for
$2O-This Time He Is Sentenced to
Six Months in Jail.

Police officials in South Chicago are
expressing much qualification over the
tail sentence of six months given John
Olson, alias Russell. the young man
who was convicted in the South Chi
cago branch of the municipal court yes
terday afternoon Of contributing to the
delinquency of Edna Johnston, the IT,
year-old East Side girl, under the stat
ute OF 1905 providing for a maximum
jail sentence of a year and fine of 5000
for such offenses. The concensus of
opinion is that Olson got off easily.
Olson was arrested about three weeks
ago on a charge of enticing and har-
boring the Johnston girl in Mrs Black
burns boarding house at 166-92nd
street, and Mrs. Blackburn figured in
the same case, although she was dis
charged. Olson was, at this time, dis
charged because it was shown that
the girl was not Of previous chaste
habits and conversation, and fined S25
and costs on a disorderly charge. He
was later rearrested under the act Of
1905 as before stated.
The Johnston girl was committed to
the Geneva industrial school by Judge
Mack of the juvenile court last week.
James and Trixie Reilly. keepers of
a resort at 2011 Armour avenue, where
Olson is said 10 have taken the girl
from Mrs. Blackburn's and sold her for
$50, are under indictment on a charge
Of harboring the Johnston girl. Mrs.
Blackburn was lately deprived OF the
custody of her three children on rep
resentation made to the Juvenile court
by Probation officer O'Keefe of South
Chicago.

JUDGE TUTHILL'S OPINION
ON TWO RIPARIAN BILLS.
Is Himself a Large Owner of Lake
Frontage Property-Sees Merit in
Both Bills.

Knowing that Judge II. 3. Tuthill
has large holdings on the lake front
and hence doubtless is conversant with
the two measures now before the legis-
lature in reference to granting rpar-
ian owners rights in the submerged
lands along the shores Of Lake Michi-
gan Of which much is said just now
a reporter asked him what he thought
of the two bills. The judge said:
In the first place. it is an erroneous
idea that any law now on the statute
books gives the city of Michigan City,
or any other owner different rights
from those conferred by the supreme
court Of the United States in Illinois
Central Railroad company vs.. state OF
Illinois. L. S. supreme court reporter.
volume 13, page 10, except for COM
merciaI purposes.
THE act of February "a, 1899, Of
which mention has been made in the
public press. merely gives the riparian
proprietor right to build piers,
wharves, docks or harbors In aid Of
navigation and commerce. Session laws
of 1899. 133

court in the above case lands made

wind, waves. receding waters, or 9TH
er natural causes, belong to the abut-
ting owner, whether that owner be a
municipal, business corporation or
an Individual
The two bills before the legislature
known as the senate or Bowser bill,
and the house or Faulkner -Simons
bill, proceed upon entirely different
theories The senate bill gives aid TO
the owner who wishes the land for
immediate use and grants him the
right to acquire. by filing IN. the other
was doubtless drafted TO protect the
small holders OF whom there are more
than two hundred who cannot acquire
the land BY hlling in at an expense of
say $4,000 Per acre and 1t Will cost
that much, but who can obtain title
by paying the state what the lands
now submerged are reasonably worth.
Each bill seems to have merit and
1t is probable the legislature will com
bine the material features Of both into
an act, and thus protect the interests
OF all and give each the rights Of
which many stand in need. But one
thing is clear, whether one or both or
neither is passed, it Will not IN the
least affect our lake front park"
