UNIQUE CHICAGO
SUBWAY RELIEVES
LOOP CONGESTION
MOVED 6,230,OO0 TONS OF
FREIGHT OVER SiXTY-TWO
MILES OF NARROW GAGGED
TRACK.

Chicago, Dec. 1T.-Forty feet unde
ground Chicago has one of the mos
unique subway systems in the worc
Devoted entirely to the hauling O
freight, 1t keeps the congested loo
district comparatively free of heay,
traffic vehicles. Officials OF the tun
mel company estimate more than G,0OI
trucks would have to pass througl
loop streets daily to duplicate tht
work done by the subway.
Over sixty-two miles of narrow
gauge track, 1872 electric locomotives
aud 5000 freight cars hauled 100000
tons of merchandise and 100000 tons
of coal last year.
Scores of downtown office buildings
and stores receive their freight direct
from the railroad depCts via the sub
way Their coal comes by the same
route. and at night the ashes are
hauled away through the underground
tunnels, to be dumped on the lake
front, where acres of land are To
claimed yearly. The ground on which
the great new Field Museum. at the
south end of Grant Park is built, was
few years ago part OF the lake
The tunnel company filled it in with
ashes.
Another unusual service is the re-
moyal CT dirt from building eXcaYa-
tons. A shaft is sunk from the build
ing site to the tunnel level under the
street. Workmen with wheelbarroWs
dump the dirt from the shaft, where It
falls into cars OF the waiting train, to
be hauled 10 the lake front disposal
station
For handling merchandise. coal and
Rshos electric elevators lift the sub
way cars from the tunnel level to
stores and office buildings, where they
are emptied and retilled-and then
lowered again to the tracks below.
The subway tracks underay every
street in the loop district, covering
a district twenty-five blocks long and
nine blocks wide, and in addition the
network of tunnels extends north UNI
der the warehouse and railroad dis
trict along North Water street, and
west of the south branch OF the river
for six blocks through the railroad and
factory district of the near West Side,
Four main receiving stations out
side the loop gather incoming mer-
chandise for delivery to downtown
buildings. and distribute outgoing
packages for truck hauls to other
parts of the city.
Every railroad station but one has
connections, and freight and express
billed for one station to another IS
transferred by the subway In addi-
ton, every station bu. one has con
nections for sending mail to the post
Office. Special trains of steel mail
cars carry the sacks through the tun-
mel.
The freight cars used are four feet
wide and twelve feet long, while me
track has two foot gauge. The mer- |.
chandise ears have a capacity Of six .
tons, ash and dirt cars hold three and .
One-half cubic yards, and the coal cars .
have capacity of four tons. Ar-l

CANAAN RESIDENT SEEKS
 VIEWS ON PROHIBITION
"Courant" Scores Cowardly Attitude of Anonymous
 Writer

Wednesday mornings Hartford "Courant" printed an anonymous letter received from a Canaan resi- dent, asking for that papers views on prohibition. There are no less than two interesting points regard ing this letter that we think are of interest to our reader. The first is the views, regarding national prohi- bition, of such a publication as the "Courant" and the second, the brand which the same paper puts on an anonymous letter writer.
 To the Editor of The Courant:-
 I wish you would come out and state how you stand on this prohibi- tion matter. Do you think that the liquor question has been settled right or not? I say it has not been settled right, If you think so, too, why don't you say so, and fight for right settlement7 The 'N. Y. World" does so. You seem to think that prohibition has been C. great blessing a blessing, which we should never have had under state rights.
 
 but more burglary and murder and hold-up. I should like to see you fighting for personal liberty, but, anyway, get down on one side of the fence or the other. Put this in your pipe and inhale the fumes.
 Canaan, May 10. Old Subscriber We notice that our correspondent is himself so proud of his views and his position as critic that he does not dare to put hs name to his let ter. Ordinarily anonymous letters go direct to the wastebasket, but his invites attention. The position of "The Courant" is plain. If the states had observed the liquor laws that they adopted no national amendment could have ever passed It got by through failure of the states to enforce their own acts and so along comes this monstrous inva. sion of state rights, which has abol ished the saloon and lots of crime and misery with it. The amendment is adopted legally and can never be unadopted. The way out that Dr Nicholas Murray Butler offers suits us. He says:-
 Displace the Volstead act by 2 measure, written without fanaticism for the enforcement of the eighteen tn amendment on the basis of fact common sense, justice and regard for established principles of Ameri can civil liberty. There are beers and light wnes that form part of the staplv 1iet of civilized people every where that are not more intoxicat ing than molasses and not half SC harmful as ice water. To prohibit the domestic use of these is unrea. l sonable.
 If our correspondent persists that this is evasive, which seems hardly possible, still he may note that it is l less evasive than hs cowardly atti. tude of concealing his own identity

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Is Verdict Regarding Licensing of
 Milk DeaIer

beAIGT
 The Connecticut statute providing for the licensing of milk dealers was held unconstitutional in decision handed down by the supreme court of errors Friday. Judge John K Beach wrote the opinion after re- viewing arguments of the state in support of the act, the decision saws. that it bore no justification for in terference with business such as the preservation of public health, safety and welfare. It pointed to the pro- vision permitting the food and dairy commissioner, or his assistant, to assess damages after a dealer has broken his contract as comforting iu- dicial powers on the commissioner to, turn over the licenses property to his alleged creditors without oppor- tunity to be heard in court, and. hence was not included in the prin- ciples governing the constitutionality of statutes which interfere with busi- ness.
