GILL DELIVERS
AN ULT|MATUM

Following Allen F. Gill's refusal
yesterday to close down the indie
pendent Asphalt plant and allow an
inspection by r. F. Fulton from the
city engineers Office, Fulton ap-
peared this morning before the
plant started up and made the ex-
animation. He found everything
correct. In regard to the COM
munication sent him by the board
ordering him to close his plant
while an examination took place,
Gill filed the following today:
There is no clause in the speci-
fications which gives anyone the
authority to examine the concrete
mixer used by Us. l am perfectly
will at any time to allow the &C
credited representative of the
board Of pubic works or city engi-
neer to make measured tests for
the determining of the quantities
that enter into the concrete mix
ture laid by us on any city con-
tract.

one not in the employ of the indie
pendent Asphalt Paving Co. to

of the machinery used by us, or
to in any way delay the work I'M

continue to disregard any orders to

lions are being followed"

Lincoln Steffens is magazine
writer of the first magnitude. In
the investigation and exposure of
corrupt political and business prac-
tees, Steffens has had more to do
than any other individual with
forming the public sentiment that
has compelled reform.
He is the dean of the college of
reporters, who, looking below the
surface of the political sea, search
es out the hidden springs and
charts the unsupported currents.
Lincoln Steffens, at Chicago and
Denver, will study the play of
these forces and tell Press readers
about them.
In writing his accounts he holds
no brief for any man or party. He
will tell the truth as he searches
it out and will seek to represent
the normal, intelligent American
citizen who wants to know what
the great political parties are do
ing and why.

Phillips, Ostrander, Mohr, Watkins,
Lambert, Dalke and Schiller will
vote to replace ONO. They all are
republicans. Funk, Baldwin and
Gray, the democrats, will still be

Regarding ONO the mayor said
this afternoon:

that he made great fight, even II
he has lost"

Of them were a bit nervous in view
of the possibility of reaping por-

ONO advised them to take their
troubles to warmer climate, or
words to that effect. They could
support him longer or not, as they

At noon the flames were still

The property is in the flooded

impossible for tht fire department

watched the fire without being able
to stop it's progress. The firemen
finally managed to get near enough
to prevent the flames spreading to
other buildings.

REPRIEvED

CHICAGO, June 12.-Federal
Judge Lands today granted Her.
man Billek, condemned murderer, a
temporary reprieve, staying the ex-
ecution which was set for today.
The reprieve is the result Of
heroic measures adopted by
Billek's friends. Judge Lands will
decide whether to allow Billek to
appeal the case to the state su-
preme court. Gov. Dineen and the
pardon board took up the case
again at 1 o'clock this morning aft
er refusing to grant pardon.
Billek's two daughters accompan-
led Father O'Callaghan on speak
ing tour Of the city in the interest
of Billek. A big petition with 10000
names was sent to the governor.
The reprieve was announced just
as the jailor of Joliet penitentiary
marshaled his deputies in line and
physicians had made ready for the
march to the gallows. Instead of
reading the death warrant the
jailor told Billek the news
The condemned man had nerved
himself to listen, but almost col
lapsed.
Judge Lands said he thought the
fourteenth amendment of the con-
stitution had been violated and he
was of the opinion that the state
supreme court should pass on the
question.

Smith was trying to show to the
jury alleged conspiracy against his
client. Smith finally, by clever
questioning, ELECTED from the wit
ness an answer in which he stated
that he had demanded an attorney
on the start but was not allowed
to see one.
Smith then endeavored to show
that his client had not been able

and that stamped AMI addressed
letter to Birdseye & Smith had
been held up.
The court would not allow the
questions answered on Mr.. Pugh's
objection.

prosecution had not properly safe
guarded Montgomery interest, as

that Smith was merely apologizing
to the jury for the confessions tes-
tilted to. Smith stated he was not
in the habit Of apologizing to any
one.
