MILLIONS IN BIG LAND GRAB
Illinois Investigating Body Reveals
Vast Alleged lnroads on Waters
Fix Loss at $3.50, ooO, GOO.

Chicago.-The state OF Illinois has
been Illegally deprived of thousands
of acres of land along the shores of
Lake Michigan and other waterways
lat value of at least $3.50, 100000 by
large corporations and private inter
ests of the state Chicago has been
the largest sufferer.
The Illinois Central railroad alone
has grabbed 400 acres in the city's
should sue to recover It's value and
perhaps revoke the company's charter
The Chicago river has been camped on
illegally from end to end by great cor
porations and business houses.
These are a few of the conclusions
reached by the Chiperfield committee,
which was appointed by the Forty
sixth general assembly to investirate
submerged lands in the state. After.
almost two years of exhaustive labor
the committee has compiled its report.
which consists of Is large typewriter
volumes and which is accompanied by
two massive chests filed with maps,
u0ShlAChtS esA0 aGS6A1c
dating back to Indian days.
Bald statements and verbose
charges are not relied on by the COM
mittee to support the truth Of their
findings. With all the care OF expert
lawyers preparing case for court the
legal questions involved have been
gone into and hundreds of pages in
the report consist of supreme court de-
cisions, legislative enactments and
what amounts practically to complete
legal briefs.
And with no beating around the
bush or technical equivocation, the
committee makes the unqualified state
ment that the reclaimed empire stolen
from the people can be recovered.
Strong recommendation is made that
proceedings be started Immediately
So comprehensive is the report in
the belief OF lawyers who have seen
it that any ordinary members of the
bar could walk into court with 1T I'M
der his arm and turn the state of Ill.
nois upside down.

two employees with brace of re-
volvers, compelled them to fill his
pockets with the contents of the CASH

was street car transfer and the
other was a half chewed cigar.
The holdup was witnessed from
across the room by woman employee.

fore she could give the alarm.
Although only one man entered the
dining room. the police believe he had
three companions stationed on the
stairs in the street entrance at f22
Monroe street. Four men are said to
have left the restaurant entrance i'm
mediately after the robbery. They
walked across the street in sight of
two policemen in Monroe street. who
knew nothing of the robbery until
some minutes later.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO cULLoM
Burton Links His Name With Lincoln
In Defense Against Remarks
OF Bailey.

Washington. Declaring that the
United States senate regards Senator
Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois as next in
esteem to Abraham Lincoln, of all
men the state has produced, Senator
Burton of Ohio. In a speech Monday
against Senator Lorimer retaining his
seat in the senate, criticized Senator
Bailey of Texas for his suggestion that
II Mr.. Lorimers seat was illegally
obtained, the condition might apply
to Senator Cullom, his colleague.
The senator from Texas" he said,
did wrong no doubt unwittingly. in
suggesting that If Mr. Lorimer's cleo
ton is invalid. so is that of the senior
senator. Senator Cullom was nom.
mated by the whole state of Illinois.
receiving plurality of $4,000 votes.
Ii is unfair. even in the remotest way,
to intimate that there is anything In
common between the two cleo
tions.
For more than fifty years the
senior senator has served the great
state of Illinois, and for thirty years
he has been In the senate. We all
prize him as a member of this body
OF all the men whom Illinois has pro.
duced, we regard him as next in es-
TEEN to him who dwells on an unap-
proachable pinnacle-Abraham Lin

Washington.-Th war department
is about to establish an aeroplane
patrol along the Rio Grande river and,
for the first time ia this country, avi-
ators will enter the military service OF
the United States.
So far as an air scout can dis
cover, General Hoyt, the commander
of the department of Texas, will soon
be in a position to determine the
facts as to the activities of the insur
gents along the Mexican border.
AT present, owing to conflicting re-
ports, the army officers engaged in
maintaining neutrality find the task
difficult, and the troops are con-
tinually making wild goose chases
after military expeditions reported to
be crossing the Rio Grande, which
rarely materialize.
In the meantime, when the troops
are on these false scents, it is pre-
sumed that armed parties make their
way across the river at unguarded
posts.
