Gated at some point north of the park

streets. The petition which was pre-
scented by Alderman Gosch, was sign
ed by F. s. Smiley, 1902 Iowa street,
and 107 others. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee of the whole
and the finance committee. Accord

The head of the fire department
stated that for some time it had been
planned to move the Harrison street
station further north, and that the To-
oaion considered was the intersection
of Main and Locust streets.

that special grand jury be appointed
to investigate the case in order that
he might be definitely cleared of sus-

ground that evidence was insufficient.

murdered. the county authorities re-
fuse to issue warrants, partly because
of the social position of the Simpson
family, and because of the many con-
hicting rumors.
The disposition OF the authorities
has been from the start to call the
death = suicide and let it drop. They
are unwilling to take any action at
present. and IL is only through the
