DUBLIN, Dec. 11-Early extension

All ireland today resembled a vast

WEST HAMMOND
GETS NEW ROAD
Roscoe Z. Woods spokes-
man for Delegation Which
Secured Improvement

The construction OF the six and one
half mile east and west thoroushfsre
known as One Hundred and Forty-sey-
enth street. westward extension of
Sibiey street, IN Hammond. is assured
4 delegation OF west Hammond citi-
zens. accompanied by Roscoe e. Woods.
OF Hammond who acted as their. spokee-
man. appeared before the board of
Cook county commissioners and present
ed their case in an hours conference yea
terday afternoon.
Some slight opposition developed on
the part OF Jerry O'Rourke. former
state representative. William Busse. one
OF the commissioners and some Harvey
representatives who wanted the HaIsted
ST. bridge built before money was spent
on One Hundred and Forty-seventh st.
But the Arguments of the West Ham
mond delegation were 50 convincing that
the commissioners, on the motion OF
Peter Reinbers. chairman Of the county
board. instructed Supt. Of Highways
Quinian 70 at once commence the pre-
paration Of plans and specifications for
the Improvement which will cost in the
neighborhood of 100000.
1t is not. however, expected that wors
will commence on this road until the
spring OF 1922. a year and three months
from this date for the season that the
II mile program of road building thar
has been adopted by the Cook county
commissioners has been held up by high
building costs and must be completed
this coming year.
Among those who presented argu-
ments before the board were Samuel X.
Marwman. special counsel for West
Hammond. Mayor Paul Kamradt. who
said that the people had been promised
this improvement In return fer thefr
support OF the bond issues Martin
Finneran. who made strong plea for
connecting up the cities of Harvey.
Blue Island. Riverdale and DoIton with
West Hammond: Mr. Waterman, the
onion king of South Holland: Mr.. Hoi-
mes. cashier OF the South Holland bank:
Mr.. Proper OF Propper's Corners. a
large land owner: Henry Linder. OF
West Hammond. and others
To John Jaranowski and Judge Kow-
alski should go the credit for having
organized the delegation which included
IN addition to the speakers. City Clerk
Andrew J. Stachewicz, Frank wache.
wicz. Alderman A. B. Kryzanowski
The outstanding arguments which
seem TO have won over the commits issior-
ers were the fact that while Western
avenue. Halsted st and South State st.
have been improved by the commission.
ers there is no east and west thorough
fare by which access may be had 10
these highways. The hopeIessness of
getting street railway extensions also
pointed to the need of developing this
highway to provide intercity commur-
ication by motor bus. M

To Escape
Crown Point Deputy Sheriff
Shows Speed for His
Years Yesterday

CROWN POINT. IND, Dec. 1I-De-
putty Sheriff Dick Kilborn demonstra-
ted yesterday evening thatthere is plenty
of speed in him in spite of his advanc-
ing years when he successfully ran down
two young men who had escaped from
him at the jail door.
The prisoners were Charles Clayton
and Carl Young two Hammond youths
who had just been tried in the criminal
court for the theft of an automobile in
Hammond about three weeks ago. The
car which belonged to Frank Fursten-
baugh was stolen from in front OF the
Methodist church on Sunday evening
and late that night officer Joe Reckler
found the boys trying TO start it on
Summer st. The jury found them guilty
and gave each a $50 fine and 500 days
on the penal farm
Deputy srArif KiIborn stt-+ed with
them towards the jaiI Se Boys were
handcuhed together. Suddenly they
broke away from him and started TO
run. Kilborn gave chase thinking that
they would have difficulty in running
and that he could catch them easily He
was mistaken for the youths covered
over three miles before they were fin
ally landed.
Kilbourn managed to send out an sp-
peal for help along the way and with
a bunch Of volunteers succeeded in
rounding up the men The boys and
Kilborn were covered with mud.
