address in which he said: Il will never

'ln its report of the cotton trade of

sumption of the Southern mills, which
show how great has been the develop

in 1880 about 155, 600 bales, but in
1SS.s5 consumed $4,000 bales, and in
1856 it was 3ol ,O66 bales. Thegreat-
est advance has been in Georgia and the

their consumption to 1871 bales

consumed by the Southern spinners. I"

finger press the trigger of the weapon
so relentlessly aimed.
Over and over he saw the human
form fall to the ground and lie limp
in the thick dast of the road. Perhaps
already some passer by had found the
corpse or, at least, met the fleeing
riderless horse which would lead to
discovery. Abe's blood ran cold and

COMES

BEFORE COUNCIL TONIGHT
WILL THEY BURY 1T?
With two more deaths over Sun
day the toll of the fenderless auto
truck since March l, when the fen
der ordinance was introduced into
the council by Aid. Kerner, reached
a total of 25.
AS a special order of business the
matter will come, before the alder
men tonight for passage.
If the law is voted through by the
council the end of one of the srang-
est fights Chicago has seen will
come.
Brought into the council three
years ago, passed, but not enforced,
killed by court rulings as too weakly
drawn and repassed and again killed,
the course of Aid. Kerner's attempt
to protect pedestrians has varied.
The law was actively fought by the
State street department stores, ex-
press companies, Illinois ManUfac-
tUrers' assn and the Assn of Com
merce.
1t had the backing of almost every
civic club in the city, a majority of
the. council, the Harrison admins
tratiOn, labor unions and the Chicago
Teachers Federation, which was out
to avenge the death of its secre-
tary, Catherine GOggin, under the
wheels Of a Marshall Field & Co. fen
derless truck.
The trust press sighted the law in
news columns ever since it was first
introduced because the State street
stores were against it.
But another reason for their atti-
tude toward the law is that hundreds
Of people are killed or injured annu-
ally by the unprotected newspaper
trucks.
Sut was filed Saturday against the
American by Patrick Foley for inju-
ries received when he was hit by a
Hearst truck last fall.
