Naturally told Hattie nothing of

givings. As matter of fact, they
seemed little enough compared with
her real cares. But before | left

LYMAN E. COOLEY CAN KISS
$1,000 PER YEAR GOOD-BY

About year ago Lyman E. Cooley,
chief consulting engineer of the san
itary district, signed a report telling
the trustees of the district board how
to run the publicly-owned light and
power plant at Lockport.
Rates for light and power ought to
be raised. The plant was not paying
it's way. So said Cooley.
Trustees Clark and Paullin attacked
the Cooley report as full of bum
steers, garbled figures and punk eco
nomics. Also they stated the Cooley
report would be dandy for any cor
porations like the Commonwealth
Edison to circulate where public own
ership was to be slandered.
That's history. The news is that
the sanitary district board yesterday
officially tied can to Lyman Cooley
and he is now separated from the
81, ,000-a-year job, in which he served
with advantage to the light trust.
John Ericsson, city engineer, and
VIM. Artingstall, assistant, were CO.
signers of the Cooley report recon-
mending the city's light cost be
raised.

Shades of Cossacks!
What chance has a slip of a tough
little kid" got against an army OF
walking and riding Chicago cops?
None at all, as was shown in a little
incident that started Thursday aft
ernoon at the Randolph street en-
trance of the City Hall
The paddy" wagon of the st.
Charles home for juveniles was just
about ready to pull out with its load
of dangerous juveniles" when one
young fellow, who looked about IA,
jumped out the back door and made
a break for freedom. The speed he
attained as he made for the alley be-
tween the Palace and Cohan's the
aters was evidence enough that he
was not keen on going to the juvenile
home.
The officer in charge of the pad
dy" wagon took up the chase and
was shortly joined by small army OF
cops and couple of hundred curious
pedestrians.
The odds were too great and the
tough little kid" was collared on
Dearborn street by a rough and
ready" copper. If the tough little
kid" had had on size Is collar in
stead of a 1879, the copper's hand
would have fit in better and the
tough little kids" face would not
have grown so terribly red. Neither
would he have pleaded to be allowed
to breathe.
The curious crowd followed close
as the return trip to the paddy"
wagon was made. The tough little
kid" said nothing. He didn't make
good at his getaway and that was all
there was to it to him. Three or four
other coppers insisted on getting a
hand in on the tough little kid"
Just as the crowd came out of the
aleyway one of Chicago's prize
