WHAT WILL THE CITY COUNCIL DO ABOUT
THE THREATENED LAKE FRONT GRAB?

representing about forty business
mems and improvement clubs, the
Cook County Real Estate Board, the
Chicago Federation of Labor, the
Cook County Press club (65 local
newspapers, the South Chicago
Business Mems assn, over hundred
property owners of more than mile
of Lake av. frontage, and many 9TH
ers have opposed the contract at
hearings before the city council, leg
islature, war department and con-
gress. A bill to legalize the steal was
killed in committee of congress after
a full hearing.
But the determined Illinois Central
South Park plunderbund fights on.
There are hundreds of millions worth
of public land at stake.
Of course, the right thing to do is
to force the 1. G. to electrify and run
in a tunnel from 51st st. to the Chi
cago river, like the Pennsylvania and
N. Y. Central in New York city. This
will be easy because the road is a
trespasser on it's present roadway.
Tear down the Chinese stone wall,
open through all streets to the lake.
Make a boulevard and parkway on
the present roadway and improve the
existing shore with bathing beaches,
recreation piers, harbor facilities, etc.
This will take only four or five years
and will develop the finest waterfront
in the world.
The lake front steal scheme would
double the railroads holdings and
the smoke and nuisance and turn the
lake front beyond into a city dump
for an indefinite period. A beautiful
lake front full of railroad tracks is a
joke. The whole underhand project
has been marked with cunning from
the first park" bill in the legislature,
which was drafted by John G. Dren-
nan, the Illinois Central attorney.
Every citizen who wants real Chi
cago beautiful and useful should
urge his aldermen to oppose the

WHAT WILL THE CIT
THE THREATENED
BY HENRY w. LEE
Consulting Engineer Greater Chicago
Federation
The l. C. and South Park commits
sioners are fighting to force through
their lake front steal contract in both
city council and state legislature.
Consent of council is necessary to get
permit from the sec'y of war for
harbor rights. In 1912 the council not
only refused to ratify the contract,
but unanimously voted an order for
the corporation counsel to use all
legal means to oppose it
The lake front combine is also
seeking additional legislation at
Springfield to plug up leaks in the
scheme. Tey are also engineering
crafty resolution that prosecution
of the lake front litigation be placed
in the hands of Atty Gen. Lucey, in
stead of the lakes and rivers commIs-
sion, established for that purpose. AS
Mr.. Lucey has already dismissed one
suit against the railroad NOV. 13,
1879 this resolution will play direct
ly into the hands of the Illinois Cen
trail.
Chairman Litter of the harbor sub.
committee shut off all discussion by
citizens this week when the writer
and the secretary of the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor appeared before
them. A hearing was promised be-
fore the full committee. Asst Corp.
Counsel Skinner denied the writer
access to a map made by the city map
department showing the shore line in
1852, said to be in his possession. He
also refused to diYulge its hiding
place. This map has never been
shown to the committee, although
made for that purpose three years

Des Moines. Jan. 6.-JOhnson coun'
ty insurgents have forced test OF the
state and federal governments power
to keep territory in quarantine for the
foot and mouth disease. A farm sale

state veterinarian, las ordered that
the violation belpunished. According
to an announcement coming from
prominent farmers of Johnson county

taking the case into court. The far
mers claim that the state has power to
quarantine farm where the disease
exists but does not have the power To
quarantine a farm where there is nc
disease. They say the burden o.
proof is on the state that the animals
are unhealthy. DR.. Gibson has &C
cepted the challenge. lie says HI
will fight II they demand it. 1t il

eminent will declare the entire stat,

tor CulbprtSOn. the chairman, says a
meeting will be called in a day or two.
he committee is directed to ascer-
tain the cOnStitutiOnality of the presi-
dent making recess appointments FOR
vacancies which occur when the SEN
ate is in session. as was the case in
the appointment Of Ewing G. Bland to
be United States marshal for the west

Reed. of Missouri. who has been
named a member Of the Sub-cOmmit-

Should the committee report that
the president exceeded his COnstltu

remedy, in case any should be sought
would be to submit the case to the

Ayers TODAY refused the street car
company an Injunction preventing the

franchise to be voted on Jan. l6.
AS a result the amendments which
the company says it will not accept
under any condition 20 on the ballot
Ii the 25-year franchise proposed by
the company is carried and the
amendments defeated. the council will
refuse it. If the franchise and
amendments both carry or the fran

carried, the company will refuse to ac-
cent it.
There is apparently no chance to
settle the matter except by long court

REVOLUTION IS EXTENDING
Being Fomented by Turk and Austrian
Elements Who Wish To
Distract Italy.

Rome, Jan. 6.-The revolution in
Albania is extending. The assertion
is made here that it is being fomented
by certain Austrian and Turkish ele-
ments with the object OF forcing Ser
via and Montenegro to employ some
of their troops along the Albanian
frontiers. Another object, it is said
is to engage Italy more deeply in Al
bania. thus distracting her attention
from the main conflict.
Roman newspapers without distinc
ton urge the government not to fal
into the trap, as it is called, and tC
reserve all the energies OF the coun
try for the conservation OF ltaly's su
