WILL THE BOARD OF REVIEW MAKE THE STATE
STREET CREW COME ALL THE WAY THROUGH?


What is the board of review going
to do about the State street stores?
It's six weeks now since Jimmy
Simpson, vice president of Marshall
Field & Co.; Dan Kelly, manager Of
MandeI Brothers,; Eddie HiIlman of
HiIIman's, and a general committee
from the big stores came to the board
and asked for tax cut of 81 900, 900.
Because George Reynolds of the
Continental & Comercial bank and
committee of bankers got straight
cut last year of Is per cent in their
taxes, those watching the deal say it
is anybody's guess now as to whether
the big stores will be handed a cool
million in that much sliced off their
taxes through lowered quadriennial
assessment.
Tom Webb, wholesale coffee man
who is president of the board of re-
view, stated six weeks ago he would
notify the states attorneys office
when the hearing came off on State
st. assessments. Hoyne's men have
not had notice of hearing and are as
suming it's to come this week.
Assessments the big stores ask to
have lowered are in some cases lower
than four years ago, or exactly the
same figures as four years ago. To
be specific, the south end of Roths-
child's store land is valued at $500
per front foot now as in 1911. Siegel- j,
Cooper's land has slumped from )
$500 to $4,000 at the north end OF |
the store, and from $500 to $4,000
at the south end.
Will the review board say publicly |
that land is going up and up in price /
everywhere in Chicago except down
town, where bigger shopping crowds
than ever are iamming the side
walks?

BY BLEECHER

sHtBE PARK, June 1s.-Joe Bush got
the rather tough assignment today Of
halting the victory-flushed White Sox
and Eddie Collins. He went at II with
great eclat. not to say sang frold. by
tanning Felsch, the first man UP.
Bobby Wallace, one-time famous short
stop, who has been umplring for Ban
Johnson for some time, was behind the
plate today In previous games he has
handled the work on the bases, and It was
his first time behind the plate.
As we have intimated. Wallace was a
shortstop. He was accustomed TO keep
ing his hands In front Of him for years
while he played ball and he had trouble
today getting used to the hands-in-back
attitude Of the umpire behind the plate.
Wallace would lock his fingers behind
him, but when the pitcher threw the ball
he stuck them out in front as though in
tending to catch II II the man under the
bat didn't.
To return to the subject OF Joe Bush
nicknamed Bullet Joe, he used time
honored method to get rid of Collins the
third man to face him in the first. What
did he do7 He passed him. Eddie then
tried to steal second and failed, young
Ryan-Malone catching Sullivan n-Colllns
by four feet.
Storm clouds obscured the sun at the
start OF the game A light breeze
started UP and the heat became less OPP
pressive, but for time 1t looked like
rain. Later the skies cleared and the
weather became ideal for baseball.
Two runs were collected by the Mack
men in their half OF the first on one hit
and two errors, both by Weaver, After
Walsh and Barry had been put out Lapp
walked. oldring then came up and tried
to please his friends in the sun bleachers
by a home run. His wallop fell short
of that but was good for two bases,
Lapp taking third. Stuffy McInnis then
came up. Weaver fumbled his grounder
This gave Stuffy plenty of time to
reach first, but to make assurance
doubly sure, Weaver threw Wild to first

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu.
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations Of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom Of sanity mothers. She
has been great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and guide
to higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits. ....
