and a gang of men was brought up
by train No. s this morning.
The work on the line changes be-
tween Stanfield and Echo was not
suspended but west OF Stanfield the
work was stopped shortly after the
war began. 1t is said the shutdown
was as a result Of a general order
issued by the railroad company at the
time when the financial world was
confused over the war. The resump-
ton OF work was predicted for the
near future and apparently that time
has arrived. The grading work on
the cutoff has been virtually com

the steel rails are on the spot and the
railroad company has already gone
to the expense of grading the road

worked by postponing the work on

LETTERS TO EDITOR
KELLEY AND SUBSCRIBERS

Editor Day Book:-In a Herald
editorial Mr.. Kelley favors the build
ing of skyscrapers. He has been so
considerate of the public by making
his type larger that he thinks he can
bunco people.
In favoring such monstrosities as
skyscrapers the public will soon be
walking on top of each other and 1
hope Mr.. Kelley will be walking on
the bottom. Most any fifth grade
school boy knows more about correct
city planning than Mr.. Kelley. He fig
ures that loop stores will advertise
in his paper and therefore benefit his
paper.
In doing this he is destroying the
city beautiful plan and the happiness
of our future generations. Which is
the best, having the ordinance re-
pealed or the city beautiful plan car
ried out. Julius S. Neale,

ARE BANKS AFTER LoRIMER?

nois, therefore have no interest in the
affair beyond some sympathy for the
under dog" who, in this case, seems
to be Mr. Lorimer, and whom l
imagine is no better or no worse than
those who are prosecuting him.
You may or may not be interested
in what 1 will attempt to relate as
/ remember it.
Shortly after ''the Lorimer case"
began to attract attention some years
ago happened to be dining at Kings
restaurant one evening. A gentle
man came in and was seated at the
same table and in conversation he
told me that the bankers of Chicago
were angry at Mr.. Lorimer for start
ing the new bank, and that they had
started in to get" Lorimer and would
never let up until they succeeded in
downing Lorimer, He said; you

may think that the opposition to-
Lorimer is caused by political enc
mics, but. you are wrong; it's the
bankers" He said: 81 make this as
a prediction. Now watch it and see
if am not correct"
This gentleman exchanged cards
with me and invited me to come over
to the Office of the Chicago Examiner
and visit him. Several months later
l read in the Chicago Record-Herald
that Senator Lorimer's bank has
been refused clearing house priv
leges." l thought of the prediction.
Some time later l read in the Chi
cago Tribune, "The - bank has
been threatened with withdrawal of
clearing house privileges unless it
discontinues clearing checks from
the Lorimer bank through its own
bank"
Again I thought of the prediction.
A few days ago heard the rumor
about the failure of the Lorimer
banks and again thought of the pre-
diction as about fulfilled.
Does it not appear to be about true
