BROADWAY FIT ONLY
 FOR SCRAP HEAP

CHICAGO. Dec. 30. - "The Great White Way of New York, about which we hear so much, is not a thing of beauty, but an unsightly glare of lights" said Lorado Taft, the sculptor, at the luncheon of the Electric Club to- day. We in Chicago ought to be thankful that we have not sunk so low as they have in New York. A city like an individual is judged by it's ideals
 Every one of our cities needs beau ty. And the more congested a city is the more parks it should have. It has been a dream of mine to make a beau tiful figure that should represent Chi cago. Something that should crystal lize the sentiment of Chicagoans and make them have pride in their city,
 Mir Taft was generally of the opin- ion that Broadway should go to the scrap heap.

 THE CRY OF SULZER
O-O-


 BUFFALO, Dec. 3.-The lectures of former Governor Wm. Sulzer which are being delivered in the cities of the East, and for which that gentleman is receiving one thousand dollars a night, are filled mostly with attacks on the impeachment court and Chas. F. Murphy.
 Some of his most vehement utteranc- es follow:
 My trial from beginning to end was a farce-a political lynching con summation of a deep-laid political con- spiracy. A horse thief in frontier days would have received a squarer deal
 MT. Murphy controlled most of the members of the court, dictated it's pro- cedure and wrote the judgment Mir. Murphy was the judge and the jury, the prosecutor and the bailiff."
 "Tammany is treason; Tammany must go; Tammany must be destroyed, or our free institutions are doomed. No man and no official can serve Tam many and the people; the boss and the State; the Chief and the city. If he is true to Tammany he must be false to duty; he cannot be loyal to one without betraying the other"
