Between 5000 and 10000 men will

construction is begun within the
city limits, and from present indi-
cations this work will be begun
within a month or six weeks. THE

of the Milwaukee.
One of the first items of expendi

opening up, grading and paving of
streets which will be turned over
to the city to take the place of
those which the corporation will
vacate to the railroad.
All that the North Coast is wait

will include the vacation of certain

fact that there has been no emer-
gency declared and no five-day per-
iod of appointment. as the charter
requires.
This open defiance Of the law has
gone for a year and two months.
Members OF the city council have
been appealed to frequently in the
last few days to either compel
Pratt to appoint chief Of police
or terminate the present plan Of
violating the city charter. This
can be done by forcing the mayor
to declare an emergency, in which
case it will be up to Pratt to show
what sort Of an emergency exists.
The city council has heard pro-
tests from all sides within the last
few weeks of the farce being car
ried on in the police department
and of the open violation of the
city charter in the retention of Sui
Ivan as acting chief of police for
II months.

spent the greater part of the day
in bed, recovering from the effects
of the beating given him by Jack

Jeffries still refuses to make any
statement to the public, but he
authorized Dick Adams, at whose

him.
"Jeffries was able to use his jaw
for the first time today since the
Reno fight" said Adams. "The jaw
was paralyzed by a blow from the
negro, and for a time the injury
