INDICT MRS. STREETER
ON CRIMINAL CHARGE
Accused of Assault With Intent
to Kill-Case Grows From
Squatter's Claim.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Mrs. George We'll
lington Streeter. was indicted in GRIM
NAL court today on a charge Of assault
with intent to kill.
She is alleged to have shot Sergeant
George Cudmore in the arm, when he
and other policemen recently raided
the Streeter home on complaints that
liquor was being sold there in violation
of the Sunday closing law.
Mrs. Streeter Is the wife of Capt.
George wellington Streeter, who has
gained national fame through his fight
to retain possession of the district OF
lake Michigan"
In 1886 a small steamer owned by
Cap" Streeter stranded on the beach
off Lake Shore drive. Land formed
shoreward which Streeter claims by
right Of "squatter sovereignty" saying
it is in federal and not municipal juris-
diction. The land is estimated to be
worth millions.

WARS EFFECT TO LAST
YEARS LEAGUE REPORTS
Worlds Fleets Will Be Sadly
Reduced, Which Cannot Be
Suddenly Offset.

New York. Dec. 1.-THE wars eff
feet on sea transportation and the
prospects of a break in freight rates
after the war is ended are summarized
in statement issued today by the ma
tional foreign trade council, composed
Of representatives of large manufac-
turing and commercial interests. James
A. Farrell, president of the United
States Steel corporation, Is chairman
of the council.
1.-The main question" says the state
ment, 'is how soon the break in the
freight market will take place follow
ing the cessation of hostilities. Some
shipping people hold that the break
will be sharp and sudden, others that
the very slight additions through re-
construction now being made to the
tonnage of the world will tend to ward
off any tendency to a sudden decline
when the war is concluded.
cit Is said in support of the latter
contention that though some 5000, 900
tons of German and Austrian shipping,
now immobilized, will be released, the
shipping already sunk will decrease
the worlds fleets by 100000 tons,
while the 100000 tons Of new ship
ping at present in construction
throughout the world is not expected
at once to offset the losses due to the
war"
