the fender law will probably be about
two weeks. Meanwhile people are
being killed and MANNED regularly by
fenderless auto trucks.
It will enable the foes of the fender
law, and they are now showing them
selves in the open, to make them
selves stronger in the council. And
it will allow the killing of more pc
destrians on the streets of Chicago.
The latest delay is simply another

pigeon-holed and fought in the coun-
Gil, on State street, by the Illinois

CORPORATION COUNSEL DEFENDS HEALEY IN
COURT FOR NOT ENFORCING FENDER LAW


Your fender law has been stalled
again. And there is more funny
business to come.
When a city council passes law
to protect citizens by putting Tenders
on auto trucks, then repasses it five
times with little changes; when it
orders the chief of police to enforce
the law and when he doesn't, some
thing is wrong.
But when a corporation counsel
paid by the people sends his men into
court to protect the chief of police
who refuses to carry out the provi-
sions of the law passed unanimously
by the counsel, the whole business
looks rotten.
That's what happened today. Two
attorneys from the corporation
counsePs Office appeared before
Judge Walker of the circuit court to
defend Chief Healey, against whom
a petition for writ of mandamus
has been filed in the fender case.
Judge Walker knew that the coun-
Gil received an order at its last meet
ing protesting against the use OF the
corporation counsel to defend chief
of police who refuses to make big
business interests equip their autos
with tenders. An order calling off
the corporation counsel's men is now
pending in the judiciary committee.
So he asked the men from Ettel-
sons office if they were going to de-
fend Healy in spite of the fact that
the council may order them not to
do so.
Asst Corporation Counsels Cleve-
land and Devenish answered that |
they would not if the council so or
dered. The case was put over until |
after the next meeting of the council |
so the attitude of that body could be |
determined.

"LITTLE REVIEW

A radical editorial in Margaret C.
Anderson's Little Review" seems to
have aroused the ire of the U. S. pos
tai inspection service.
Beyond admitting that the matter
was under advisement, M. L. Igoe,
acting district attorney, refused to
discuss the case, but it is known that
an investigation is being made and
that the opinion is held in official
circles that the editorial is a clear
violation of the law prohibiting the
sending of certain kinds of literature
through the mails. 1t was intimated
that publication of the Little Re-
view" will be ordered discontinued if
it is found that the law was violated
by the editorial.
