present breakwater was Enclosed"
although there is over 300 feet of
open water connecting the place of
filing with the lake. Reference was
also made by these gentlemen to a
legally constructed "shore line" out
in the lake. After two interviews it
appears that the district attorneys
Office is unwilling to prosecute these
violators of the law, and instead
seeks to find excuse for them.
The writer protested to the Secre-
tary of War at Washington last No
vember when Mayor Harrison and
forty other representatives of the
vested interests of Chicago asked for
a permit to continue the filling for
the Illinois Central and the Park
Board south of 51st street. Secre-
tary Garrison heard both sides, con-
sidered the matter for a month and
refused the permit. Six weeks ago
the writer again went to Washington
and protested against the passage of
the Mann bill, designed to effect the
same purpose. Congressman Mann
has since announced that ne Will not
push the passage of his bill.
The entire matter has grown out
of the Illinois Central lake front steal
of 1851, and the roads efforts to pro-
tect its stolen right of way! At that
time, instead of buying a right of
way into the city from 51st street to
the river, the Illinois Central built its
tracks on piles out in the lake about
300 feet from the shore Many old
citizens remember this fact. The in
tervening space has since been filled
in, much of it with the debris of the
Chicago fire in 1871. The railroad
grabbed this made land, built stone
wall on the west line of it's right of
way" and has since had enough in
-fluence with state and city officials
to hold it.

park board to agree with the shore
owners upon division of the made
land. This was to pay for, the rip
arian rights" and also to confirm the
present holdings of the present illegal
right of way, but also to gain an adj
ditional strip five miles long and from
800 to 600 feet wide. This land is
worth millions of dollars.
But the Supreme Court of the
United States has made three de-
cisions on the status of the Illinois
CentraPs title to the lake front The .
l. c. claims the property under a
grant from the state. The court says
the state can not give away lake front
land, but that the state must retain
it forever in trust for the people in
the interests of navigation and fish
cries. The l. C. has always had
enough influence with city and state
officials to hang onto this right-of-
way in spite of the Supreme Court
decisions.
1t is evident, if the railroad does
not own its right-of-way but is at
present holding it Illegally and is a
trespasser that it has no riparian
rights to trade. Therefore to give it
millions of dollars worth of land in
exchange for these imaginary rights
is steal and a gross breach of faith
with people and an indefensible piece
of criminal graft.
The gentlemen who are trying to.
put this over for the railroad in
clude the stockyards members of the
South Park Board and their attorney,
John Barton Payne (president),
Mayor Harrison and other members
of the city administration the "Chi-
cago Plan" patriots and certain mem
bers of the Chicago Association
Commerce and the Chicago Real Es-
tate Board, and the loop press.

the steal is interesting, After Attor-
