Spencer Ward, Democratic nominee
for Chief Justice Of the Municipal
Court, believes the following changes
should be made in the Municipal
Court:
"There should be as much leniency
shown In the criminal branches as Is
compatible with justice. Judges Of
the Municipal court should work eight
hours a day. There should be no coun'
try judges in the Municipal court.
These judges do not appreciate the
situation In Chicago. The cost of
bringing suit in the Municipal court
should be reduced"
"The system Of pleading and prac'
tice now followed In the Municipal
court Is so complex and so illogical
that no lawyer Is certain how to pro-
ceed, and no one really understands
It," asserted Mr.. Ward.
~0A
Andrew ]. Ryan, the we'll known
lawyer and former City Attorney. Ia
a man whom Chicago IL proud at all
times to claim as one Of her leading
lawyers and public spirited citizens.
Charles Krutchoff was nominated
for County Assessor by big vote
He has a good record to his credit
and is qualified in every way for the
position he aspires to.
~
Clayton Il. Crafts stands foremost
among Chicago's leading lawyers and
public.spirited citizens.
Directors of the Bell Telephone
system appear to be great favOrites
with the boys who draw grand juries
Hardly a month passes but one ol
these worthless is chosen on the grand
jury. The frequency with which trust
magnates are thus honOred does moi
escape public attention.
\eSA
Judge George Kersten deserves the
popularity he enjoys in Chicago both
as a Judge and as citizen.
The Telephone Trust doesn't wan,
much from the City Council.
1t only wants the phone rates raised
a trifle. They are not high enough al
present to swell the dividends OF the
local and the parent company.
II only wants permission to install
pay-in-advance slot machines all ovel
the city. because people are not losinl
enough nickels already.
| II wants the people to bear more o.
Its earning expenses than they do now
| II wants them to deposit O nicke
before they can get police or fire pro
lection on an emergency call.
II wants the city to give It fire.,
rein to carry out Its designs on th'
public.
II wants a great deal more.
What aldermen will sell out thei
constituents to help this monopoly?
~4A
The friends of Spencer Ward ar
proud of the splendid race he mad
for Chief Justice of the Municipa
Court.
The people demand lower telephon
rates.
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1912-05-04


Of nickels falls short Of he guarantee
the company makes the phone renter
pay the difference. II there should
happen to be an excess q aieksls the
company gobbles them ell. The phone
renter gets no credit for that excess.
That's the logic Of the meaopsly.
We take the following from page
"a of the Report on the Causes OF
Municipal Corruption In San Fran.
cisco as disclosed by the investiga'
tioIs OF the oliver grand Jury and the
prosecution of certain persons for
bribery and other offenses against the
state" made by a committee appoint.
ed by the mayor OF that city and pub
llshed by order OF the board OF su-
perUsors. cit.' and county OF San
Francisco, January 5, 1910:
"The PaciA Telephone and Tels-
graph Company bribed the Supervis.
ors 10 prevent the Home Telephone
Company or apy other organization
from obtaining telephone franchise
IN San Francisco. No attack OF any
kind on the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph Company was threatened
by the Supervisors. and the gole pur.
pose Of the crime was TO maintain a
prof. which might be cut by the
competition Of business rivals. The
gnpervlgors were paid In all over
$4,000. The managing committee Of

swors before the Grand Jury that they

when appealed to, refers the inquirer
to another telephone number In the
same building. This necessitates the
payment Of a second toll. Telephone
operators are careful to prevent the
second call from being made without
the payment Of second nickel.
Both the railroad companies and the
telephone company should do their
best to see that the arrangement Of
department names in the telephone di.
rectory is sufiiciently clear to enable
inquirers to call the first time for
the number they really want.

complaints to which appeals for the

lures of Programme.

4 match game OF pocket billiards and
a lecture on Great American Deserts"
were the chief features of entertainment
at the meeting OF the Commercial Club
last night. The programme was in
charge OF Fred S. Lincoln. chairman Of
the entertainment committee.
The billiard game was between Frank
Sherman. former champion and a MEM
ber OF the club. whose modesty regard
ing the score forbids the mention OF his
name. The match was for 125 points. and
Mr. Sherman's competitor scored s..
After the game Mr. Sherman entertained
the crowd for a short time with some ex-
hibition shooting.
A lecture by e. ]. Blanchard. of the
Reclamation Service, consisted OF a Sc
ries OF excellent pictures of scenes taken
on an imaginary Journey from South
western Arizona to Los Angeles and
through the mountain region, Yosemite
and Yellowstone parks, on to Portland
Oreg.
Mr.. Blanchard said his main object
in exhibiting the views and describing
them TO people in the East was to ac-
quaint them with some Of the beauties
of their own country, and IL possible to
awaken an interest in the minds OF tour
lists sufficient to turn the tide of summer
travel from Europe 10 the West.
After the lecture, a buffet luncheon was
served, with some songs and music from

SENATOR RAYNER RALLIES
= SLIGHTLY; SINKS BACK INTO
CoMAT0sE CONDITION

After regaining consciousness twice
yesterday afternoon, during which he
was given a little nourishment. and talk
ed few minutes with members Of his
family, Senator Isidor Rayner of Mary
land, who is Ill at his Washington resi-
dence. sank back into stupor last night.
His condition remains as desperate as II
has been for the last three days.
William B. Rayner, son OF the Sens-
tor, issued a brief bulletin last night in
which he said his fathers condition re-
mained the same, Notwithstanding the
returning consciousness of the patient.
At noon yesterday, after being in a
state OF coma for forty-eight ho1rs, the
Senator suddenly regained conscious
ness. His family gathered around his
bed and he spoke a few words to them.
He also partook of a little nourishment.
A few minutes later he quietly sank
back into a comatose condition, though
not so deep as that of the two days be-
fore. Yesterday afternoon the Senator
again aroused from the stupor for a
few minutes.

CULLOM PLEADS
FOR MEMORIAL
Veteran Senator and Friend Of
Abraham Lincoln Hopes to
See Work Started.
PERSONAL. APPEAL Is
MADE FOR MEASURE
Senators Asked to Support PROPOSE
ton to Have the Statue
Erected Here.

II shall retire from the Senate on
March ! next, and am intensely desirous
that work on the Lincoln memorial shall
be commenced before that time.
In my thirty years of service as
Senator, 1 have never made a personal
appeal in behalf OF any measure, but I
feel like doing so in this case"
In the above brief statement Senator
Shelby NJ. CuIlom, personal friend OF
Abraham Lincoln, is asking Senator'S to
support his resolution to approve the
location m Washington recommended by
the Lincoln Memorial Commission, upon
which there is to be erected a s2.000,0oo
monument or other work Of art in honor
OF the memory of the great war Presi-
dent The commission is headed by
President Taft, and the other members
are Senators Cullom and Wetmore.
Speaker Clark, former Speaker Cannon,
and Representative Mccall.
The late fernando c. Money Of Mis-
sissippi was also a member, and the va
'cancy caused by his death has not been
filled.
The commission had a great many
meetings before decision was reached
and a recommendation made TO Con-
gress
Design Is Accepted.
majority finally voted TO accept the
design offered by Henry Bacon. OF New
York City. and to erect it upon what is
known as the Potomac Park site.
Senator Cullom, who now ranks as
father of the Senate" says that he will
press his resolution for approval by Con-
gress OF the commissions recommended
ton, and will submit a few remarks
soon after Congress COnvenes next
month.
He is in hopes that the Senate will not
delay a vote. For more than a quarter
OF a century Senator Cullom has been
working on the plan for suitable Lin
colin memorial. He would love to round
out his services by having final action
taken. 1t is quite probable that the Lin
coin highway from Washington to Get
tysburG will be moved as a substitute
for the recommendations of the commits
sion. The highway has many strong sup
pOrters in both branches of Congress.
