STEAD'S LOGIC MAY
Be FOUND FAULTY
GOV. DENEEN WILL TRY TO GUST
THE ECONOMY COMPANY
OF JOLIET.
Says New Conditions Make Law
Illinois Executive Determined to
Garry Waterway Litigation to High
est Court If That Is Necessary.

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 12.-Law arises
out of new conditions, and conditions
now may be such that the court will
modify it's former views.
This apothegm, uttered Monday by
Gov. Deneen, sets out the principle
under which the executive will pro-
coed with the hope of finding a legal
method for forcing the Economy Light
& Power company of Joliet to aban-
don work on it's new dam across the
Desplaines river at Dresden Heights.
Following a long conference with
Attorney General Stead, in which was
reviewed the attorney generals opin-
ion that the Economy company has
"cinch" on the water-power developed
at Dresden Heights, Gov. Deneen be-
gan the formulation of plans to cir
cumvent the Joliet corporation, not
withstanding the contrary advice of
the legal department of the state.
The governor does not question the
sincerity of the Stead opinion and
he has high regard for the legal abil
ity of it's author. He does believe,
however, that the attorney generals
logic is not incontrovertible and he
Is convinced the state should not give
up the fight until finally defeated in
the highest courts.
Public Policy Should Count.
Friends of the deep waterway
project are of the opinion that in the
consideration of a proposition of this
magnitude, the question of public pol
icy would enter largely into the SUI
preme courts decision. Unless the
law is positively against the states
contention, it is believed the court
would be slow to defeat an enterprise
of these proportions by declaring the
water-power incidentally created be-
longs to private interests, instead of
to the public.
Exception particularly is taken to
the implied deduction of Attorney
General Stead that the Desplaines
river is not navigable stream. Ly-
man Cooley, civil engineer for the in
ternal improvement commission, Gre
this river to be navigable and believes
the courts will hold it SO, notwith-
standing the fact that "navigable" is
defined as capable of floating vessels
engaged in useful commerce.
Wants the Bill Passed.
Gov Deneen will set to work at
once collecting evidence for the suit
to be prosecuted by the state to GUST
the Economy company from the Ores
den Heights dam work.
In the meantime, the executive
will insist upon legislative action upon
the Allen-Lantz navigability bill. His
theory is that the legislation will be
harmless if the courts declare it in
effectual, while on the other hand,
great injury would follow if the legis-
lation were lacking when it would be
effective.

Six Perish.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 18.-Fire

Queer Positions Of Hearts.

There is one curious fact that not
everybody notices about the common,
finger-long. green caterpillars of our
larger moths. Their hearts, instead
of being in front, are at the back OF
the body and extend along the entire
length OF the animal. One can see
the heart distinctly through the thin
skin. says st. Nicholas. and can
watch its slow beat, which starts at
the tail and moves forward to the
head.
Hearts of this sort reaching from
head 10 tail, are not at all uncommon
in the simpler creatures. The earth
worm has one. and so have most
worms, caterpillars and other crawl
ing things Hearts In the middle OF
the back are also quite as frequent
as those in what seems to us to be
the natural place. Many animals, the
lobster, for example. and the craw-
fish and the crab, which have short
hearts like those of the beasts and
birds, nevertheless have them placed
just under the shell. In what, In our.
selves, would be the small OF the
