SUBURB OF 900
TO annex CHICAGO?
Windy City People Sit Up
When Petition Is
Presented
(By Associated Press. }

CHICAGO, March 21.-Citizens
sat up in establishment yesterday
when a petition signed by $50 voters
of the city, and asking that the
question of annexing Chicago to
the village of Morgan Park be sub
mitted to the voters on election
day, was filed with the county
clerk.
"Your petition is all right" Judge
Owens told the attorney for the
petitioners, ''but cannot allow the
question to be put on the ballot for
this coming election. Probably next
fall / might do so, but the city
must have more time in cases of
this kind"
Chicago and Morgan Park have
voted five times during the last
three years on the question of an
nexing the suburbs to the city.
Each time Morgan Park voters
have turned down the proposition.
Subsequent Investigations brought
responsibility for the petition
squarely home to Charles G. Blake,
of Morgan Park. Mr.. Blake ex-
planned that the petition was his
notion of a joke.
II wanted to show the absurdity
of the present annexation law" he
said.
THE law allows only $50 names
to petition of this kind. You
can get $50 Chicagoans to sign any
thing. could get $50 signatures to
a petition to annex Chicago to

wealthy business man OF Caney, Kan,
charged with killing j. d. S. Neeley,
banker and oil man. of Lima, Ohio, at
Caney, January Z last, was resumed to-
day there was little chance of getting
jury. Owing to the prominence of
the defendant its difficult to secure COM
petent jurors. Several days probably will
be required.
In his examination of veniremen the
states attorney asked each man if a
person pretending to be a mule buyer
had approached them. The defense also
asked each venireman if a man repre-
senting himself as a lease taker had in
quired their opinions of the guilt of the
defendant.
