occurs at department store or any

Buckley and Kelly testified they
could not even find the elevator op-
orator who had run the car on which
the boys death occurred.
When they asked Mangold for an
explanation he merely told them he
had sent the man home"
The store only produced one wit
ness, Mrs. Craig, who is employed
there as a private detective. Richard
Heinz, the father of the boy, testified
that the boy had always been in good
health and he couldn't understand
the story spread around that the boy
had become suddenly i'll and Iurched
forward in the car.
Kennedy continued the case until
Feb. 19. In the meanwhile Buckley
and Kelly will work on the case.
The tragedy caused a panic in the
store which took some minutes to
quen. The boy was crushed between
the elevator and the wall.
From a hasty story gathered at
the store it appears that the boy, who |
was shopping with his mother, had
complained of feeling i'll while in the |
basement of the store.
His mother and he got into an

that the boy either fell or was push !

SUGGESTS PLAN TO GET MONEY
FOR SCHOOL BOARD

A plan that by changing a few
words of the Juul law will settle all
financial troubles of the Chicago
schools was suggested by the board
attorney, Angus Shannon.
At present the appropriation for
the educational division of schools is
limited to 8 per cent of the taxes. The
building department funds are, how
ever, not cut down in this manner.
AS a result the building department
has more money than it needs,
Shannon says.
He proposes a change that will put
the building department under the
per cent limit and leave the educa-
tionaI appropriation without a set
maximum. This would do away with
the annual 81, 900, 900 deficit.
