Action by The council committee
|on street openings on the Grand

whether the street is plated through
to the river or not.
In hearing before tile commit

nor contended that recorded
plat of the old l.. c. Moran farm
shows that the street. SS feet wide.

L. c. Stanley. counsel for the Grand

as 1856 TO show that Hastings-st.
was never regarded as a thorough
fare TO the river. extending only as
far south as Franklin-s;.
Attorney James Mcnamara. who
represented the Grand Trunk before
the committee, said that the road
intends to spend s35O,e0o on a huge
freight shed, providing the street Is
vacated. He also said the road has
spent si65.0O0 for property in that
locality up to the present time.
Estimator Dick" Kramer. boss of
the first precinct of the Third ward,
and his brother. were the only prop
erty owners present who objected to
the closing Of the street.
The hearing on the petition was
adjourned for two weeks TO allow

CRIMINALS HAVE
AID IN ESCAP ING

Chicago, March GA powerful or
ganization exists for the purpose Of
assisting fugitive criminals, to whom
the war has closed the capitals of
Europe, to escape to Havana, accord
ing to the belief Of States Attorney
Hoyne.
Traces of the organization, it was
said, have been brought to light in the
search for widely known criminal
wanted here as witness. It was
pointed out that the stringent regula-
tions in Europe have rendered value
less the fraudulent passports formerly
employed by escaping criminals and
that Havana is within striking dis
tance of Palm Beach, fashionable
American winter resort
It is asserted that the organization
has been perfected to point where
criminals are warned of a pending at
tempt to extradite them from Cuba in
time to escape to Honduras, where
there is no extradition to the United
States, or to some Of the nearby
islands where they may hide in safety.

dent Wilson appealed directly to Rep.

abroad that the majority Of congress
was not with him are erroneous.
After the conference Mr.. Lenroot
said the republicans had no intention
of bringing party considerations into
the issue. Both he and Mr.. Bennett re-
fused to discuss the details Of the con.
ference.

NEW ARMY BILL
PROVIDES LARGE
DEFENSIVE FORCE
HOUSE COMMITTEE INTRODUCES
MEASURE DESIGNED TO PRO.
TEcT THE COUNTRY.

Washington, d. c., March 6.--With
the introduction Of the house army bill
by Chairman Hay of the military com.
mittee, the second of the national de.
tense measures recommended by Pres.
ident Wilson was before congress. The
house bill was accompanied by a re-
port which asserts that the committee
believes 1t has embodied in the meas
ures every feature necessary to bring
about reasonable plan for national
defense"
As completed the measure proposes
to increase the regular army to 140.-
600 fighting troops which means the
addition Of 10000 men and 7,439 Of
ficers. It also provides 786 additional
officers for detached service with the
national guard, military schools and
elsewhere
A maximum strength, however, is
fixed at 10000 men.
The bill provides for liberalization
Of the national guard under militia
pay bill substantially similar to that
proposed in the senate bill. The house
plans, however, differ from the senate
bill in that the president is authorized
to draft national guardsmen into the
federal service on the outbreak of war.
The ultimate strength of the guard
is greater under the house plan since
the minimum force Of 425, 1000 is stipu.
lated to the Organization within Ave
years. The senate plan provides for
approximately 250, 900 guardsmen.
In the house bill as in the senate an
officers reserve corps Is provided for
but the house plan would double the
enrolment at the military academy.
Chairman Hays report estimates that
force of 1,324,790 men trained for
military service will be at once avail.
able upon the passage of this bill" To
reach this total he relics upon the
regulars with q strength of 100000 and
a reserve of $4,000, upon $4,000 ma
tional guardsmen, the guards present
strength, and upon 95,750 regulars or
national guardsmen.
