mir. Packard states as a theory Of
law that made land belongs to the
maker IL the state does not stop the
shore owner from making. Now,
do not agree with that. When he
says we are not justified in hesitation,
I wish he would refer to section Of
the harbors act"
The section referred to follows:
IF in the construction Of any har.
Dor, wharf, canal, dock, pier, slip,
levee. or other harbor facility or i'm.
provements mentioned in this act It
becomes necessary to affect any Of
the rights of riparian owners along
any public waters, or to take any
property belonging thereto, such city
shall have the right to acquire same
by condemnation, but nothing in this
act shall give any such city the right
| to give compensation to any alleged
riparian owner who is not In fact the
owner of said land or who has unlaw.
fully acquired title thereto by posses.
sion or by making or filling In the
same.
such city shall make careful
scrutiny of the title Of each and every
person so claiming compensation, to
the end that no person shall receive
compensation for lands or rights
which already belong to the state Of
Illinois"

THE CITY AND THE HAReoR.

Mayor Carter H. Harrison sent q
message to the City Council, assem-
bled in special session, in which he
said the City of Chicago Is helpless to
take further steps toward the con.
struction of the proposed new harbor
without further enabling legislation
from the State Legislature.
The communication sets forth that
plans prepared by the Harbor Subway
Commission for harbor district No. !
propose to construct three piers ex.
tending in an easterly direction from
the land north of the Chicago River
Two Of these piers would extend from
land bounded on the north by Indiana
street and on the south by the river
James Pugh claims possession Of
the east fifteen feet Of the land In
question bordering on the lake under
a ninety.nine year lease from the Chi
cago Dock & Canal Company, dated
May 1, 1909.
The city law department claims that
the land was made by artifcially fill
ing in and that 1t therefore Is the
property Of the State Of Illinois. Tt
build a harbor there the city mus
procure from the Legislature gram
of all the lands reclaimed and arti
ficially made.
Mayor Harrison suggests that thu
city proceed to open Illinois and Indi
ana streets to the shore line Of LAX
Michigan by condemnation proceed
ings brought independently Of an!
provision in the harbor act.
BY means of these proceedings 1
will be learned in whom the title t
the shore lands and riparian rights re
quired by the city for its harbor Il
vested.
An ordinance for the opening o
these streets is now being prepared
by the city law department.
The council referred the matter t
the committee on harbors, wharve
and bridges.

THE ATTEMPT TO GRAB THE
HARBoR.

Why was not Captain Streeter's
claim TO the Lake Shore valid, If the
claim of some OF the present benefici-
aries of the great "fill.in" is valid?
Why should the City Of Chicago pay
to any of these men its good money
for their alleged rights?
What right has any corporation
any more than a private individual TO
fill in the lake front OF the city and
then demand money from the city
when 1t wants the land for public ben
efits?
These are some OF the questions
that people are asking each other ey'
cry day.
Mayor Harrison has taken the
proper stand in the matter and has
the full backing of the public.
ANY member Of the Legislature who
votes TO give away Chicago's rights In
this matter will be retired to private
life.
Attorney George Packard is quoted
as saying that because the Attorney
General sat idly by and let sundry
persons grab the north lake front, the
city is now powerless to get its land
back except by condemnation, OF
words to that effect.
Corporation Counsel William n
Sexton issued a statement In which
he disagreed with the published view
OF Attorney George Packard In REFER
ence to the harbor situation.
II frankly admit that cannot un
derstand the position OF Mr.. Packart

most spectacular spectacle or show
that has ever been given here.
Not only Is the setting of the play
perfect and the performers well up In
their various parts, hut the whole per-
Torrance win be scene of unprece-
denied splendor. and when combined
with the other attractions II will
eclipse all the former amateur per-
formances of this kind that have ever
been given here.
There Is but one innovation which
might mar the effect and that is by
placing the orchestra at the back of
the performers. where they can neither
hear nor see the actors. and which does
not argue much for the success of the
performance. II this could be changed
and II should be changed at any cost
there Is nothing to prevent the show
from being a brilliant success and a
most charming performance.

CHICAGO, Nov. In a CELL 1a
by feet, Jack Johnson, the negro
heavyweight champion of the world
is pacing, a prisoner today.
Johnson was committed to Jail by
Judge Lands after the court had re-
fused to accept cash bond. Three
property bondsmen then were offered
by the negro fighter, and they all
failed to qualify, one of them, Albert
Jones being sent to Jail for contempt
of court for attempting to bond prop
erty belonging to his wife to save
the fighter, and another Tony Mann
being ordered out of court for state
ments which Judge Landis believed to
be untrue.
When the property bondsmen had
failed to qualify Johnson whispered to
his attorney: "Give cash bond in any
amount, only don't let me go to Jail. >"
Judge Landis and District Attorney
Wilkerson refused to consider cash
bond.

Manigle took the stand today in the
trial Of the AZ leaders in the Iron &

listed in the alleged dynamiting crew

McManigle took the stand and the
other indicted men, while they leaned
forward and paid the closest attention
to the informer's story showed their
hatred for him by their attitude.
McManigle said his home was in Chi
cago until 1905 when, he said, he met
Hockin in Detroit and Hockin asked
him to do some demonstration work. :
The witness said he protested against
lit until "Hockin threatened to hound
me out Of the union" He said the first
dynamiting he did was at the plant OF

Johnson awoke this morning at 1880

talk to him.
He was permitted to have his food
