Clinton, ILL.,, July 26.-Vespasian
Warner, United States commissioner

that his stepmother, Mrs. Isabella Rob

his halfsisters, Mrs. DIR. Harrison Met
tier of Lake avenue, Chicago, and Mrs
Grant Bell of Clinton. Sitting in the
circuit court room not a dozen feet
from the stepmother, a proud, white
haired woman of naughty bearing,
Warner told why he had been compell-

not only the society of Clinton, but
social circles in Chicago and Wash

er, forced this thing" said Mr.. Warn

she would drop the suit. The lawyers

hav to be fought out in the court
There was only one thing left to do,

proposed platform would afford seat.
Ing capacity exceeding $1,000 an hour
IN each direction. This is three times
the seating capacity of train sys.
tenn operating five-car local trains upon
one-minute headway, and practically
six times the seating capacity of n
system of surface cars operating upon
150-foot headway.
The applicants declare that there is
practically no danger Of accidents from
falls on the moving platforms.
A long list of prominent engineers
and railroad men who indorse the
project accompanied the application.
