'ITTLER RoASTS PAYNE FOR
SOUTH PARK CONDITIONS
Aid. H. E. Littler, chairman of the
harbors committee of the city cOun-
Gil, jumped into the l. C. lake front
grab fight yesterday. He directed
his conclusions at John Barton
Payne, beef trust and railroad law
yer, who is head of the south park
commission.
Judge Payne doesn't want the
council to say how this property shall
be developed" Aid. Littler said. He
wants the road left free to put a
rOundhoUse fifty feet up in the air, if
it sees fit, to belCh smoke and-sOOt all
over the Surrounding territory. Why
does he object to the city council get
ting the same concessions from the
road which the park board is believed
to have obtained?
I'VE found conditions along the
lake in Grant park worse than poor.
From Randolph st. to 18th st. the
south park commission is doing and
has done almost nothing. There are
mounds of earth and clay, but no re-
tanning walls and no pretense Of a
park. The conditions are a disgrace
to the city. -
The commission hasn't spent a
dollar on the park of late, it seems.
Iney have simply used it as a dump
ing ground for the last ten years.
we found no bathing beaches in
Jackson park. Here the south park
commission is at fault again. The
water is shallow ], 900 feet from shore
and there is an opportunity for the
construction of better beach than
the Clarendon beach" ,"

r -GUNMAN KILLED IN o'LEARYS
SOUTH SIDE SALOON

Tonight will be quiet one around
Halsted and Root SITS. All the games
will shut down and the boys will get
together in front of the bars and
whisper of the killing of Mike Nc
Donough.
The police will be as busy as flies
around these bars because Mike was
done" in the saloon of Jim OLeary
at 4183 S. Halsted.
Frank Carney did the job. He adj
mitted it when they picked him up
early today. He said that Mike called
him something and then drew his
gun on him while they we're drinking
in the O'LeaTy saloon.
The fight is supposed to be a re-
suit of an old grUdge in which a knife
fight figured a few months ago when
Carney was stabbed in the back and
nearly killed.

SASSIETY JOKE TO COST MRS.

Ballad Early Form Of Newspaper.

The ballad, or that form of it which
is associated with the broadside, was
one predecessor of the newspaper as a
commentator on events. 1t was writ
ten for the people and sold to the
people. Printed on poor paper and
passed from hand to hand, copies OF
early ballads were seldom preserved
Fortunately several men of the sew
enteepth century began to make col
lections of ballads. and the copies OF
broadsides printed before 100 that
are now in existence are supposed to
number about 10000. Soon after 100
the printed form of the ballad was
changed, the "black letter" disappear
ing, but the ballad continued as a
chronicier Of happenings and a COM
mentator on political, military and
other public events until the middle OF
the nineteenth century, and in the
United States as we'll as England the
topical" song of today perpetuetes
the satirical function of the ballad.
