CHILD SHOT IN LITTLE ITALY"

CHILD SHOT IN Ii LIE IIHL1
A sawed-off shotgun, which shoots
ball-bearing cartridges the size OF
marble, was used to kill Lily Lucco,
8, S5S Milton av., last night in the
heart of the Little Sicily district of
the North Side.
The shooting occurred within a
mile of the East Chicago av. station
and the slayer escaped, as have near
ly all the other in the many murders
which have occurred there.
A few hours after the little girl had
died, Joseph Cutala, 827 Milton ay,
staggered into the hospital. He had
been shot in the back. He was ques-
toned several hours by the police.
They learned nothing.

CLUB WOMEN WILL PATROL THE

VHRIOOS THNNO
Z A gentle hand fell upon the should
er of young man sitting very, very
close to a young girl in Humboldt
Park. Two startled faces, red with
embarrassment, looked up into the
kindly face of a member of the Hum
boldt Park Woman's club.
"You really must not kiss so long,
my dears," the woman said. Place
your arms around her shoulders, not
her waist. There that is better. Now
be good" And the figure of one of
the watchers" of the woman's club
moved off into the dusk of the sum-
mer's evening.
The above scene will be enacted
many times this summer, for mothers
living in the vicinity of Humboldt
park have decided to. protect their
girls by assisting the police in patrol
ing the park.
picking up girls will not be per-.
mitted and those without escorts Will
be cautioned to stay near the arc
lights or at home.
South Side club women will also
organize to help patrol Washington
and Jackson parks, which have the
poorest police protection in the city.
The women expect to do away with
the horrible crimes which are COM
mitted each year in the poorly-pro-
tected parks.

SECRETARY Of STATE
v. J. BRYAN RESIGNS
Objected to Wilson's Note to Ger
many..--Does Not Want to
Involve u. 5.

Secretary Bryan late Tuesday
submitted his resignation to
President Wilson and it was ac-
cepted.
1t was stated authoritatively
that the resignation, which had
been under consideration for
several days was accomplished
with the utmost good feeling be-
tween the secretary of state and
President Wilson.
1t resulted from differences of
opinion over the note to be sent
to Germany.
1t was learned that the secre-
tary OF states hour Of delay in
reaching the cabinet meeting
Tuesday was due to time con-
sumed in the preparation of his
letter of his resignation. Presi-
dent Wilson wrote Mr.. Bryan a
letter expressing his apprecia-
ton IF the services of the resign
ed cabinet officer.
Officials let it be known that
Secretary Bryan determined to
leave the cabinet because of his
desire not to embarrass the pres
ident by his opposition to the
policy of the administration in
the present foreign situation.
While Secretary Bryan's atti-
tude toward the situation which
has arisen between this country
and Germany is not definitely
known, it has been generally be-
lieved that he favored note of
the character which under no
circumstances would involve the
United States in grave complica-
tions.
Secretary Bryan's resignation
took affect Wednesday.
Robert Lansing, counsellor of
the state department, automati-
cally became secretary of state.
