the spectators In the courtroom. n,
said:

Hy suggestion OF the prosecutor
however. a plea Of not guilty was
entered. and Collins. being unable &,
furnish $4,000 bail. was remandcd e
prison. His surprising plea IL ex
planned by the fact that he IL ex
pected to be a star witness for tn,
state. In fact. with the expectation
that he might be induced to take such
action. District Attorney Pelletisi
had his bail reduced to $1,000.

renee, 30 miles away. with u full nc.
count OF the affair. II is the theory
OF the prosecutor that Brcen told the

the reporter had another motive In
the matter than obtaining an eyclu.

Trying to bride building inspec-

Marshall Field & Co. is now

But the plan falt is that this
should not be a question of raised
antes at all.
Under no circumstance should
Marshall Field & Co. be granted
that tunnel.
The people may need that
ground some day, and if Marshall
Field & Co. ever got their claws
on it the people would have fat
chance of getting it.
The compensation committee
of the council has approved the
raised ante. The streets and al
Ieys committee undoubtedly will
do so.
Therefore the grant will go to
the council with the recommends

Monday.
1t is up to the people to make
their aldermen understand that
they want that ground reserved
for themselves.
