LIVELY BATTLE
TO SECURE TWO
FEDERAL PLACES
er,.eye Joe5 Expected to Secure
One for DanviIle; Taft Gives
His First Opinion.

Rock Island Argus.


washington, d. c., Dec. 10
"A ,noautment OF an extra district
.,Ige i'm two of the three federal
.as,eiaI districts OF Illinois is pro-
ind In the Walsh judicial bill
xsscb received consideration in the
house this week and will soon be
voted upon in the senate.
The eastern district, with head
auarters at East st. Louis, and the
northern district, with headquar-
,ers at Chicago are the two dis
.-srts which will be given an ex-
ira fpdge under the Walsh bill.
Ths massage of the bill will pre-
c3ritzte a lively scramble among
Sovnstate Illinois counties for the
artra iudgeships. according to Illi-
mos congressman, who participant
ed In the debate on the bill as it
was laid before the house Friday.
For months past there has been
hitter rivalry between downstate
cities In Illinois for the establish
vnent of branches of the federal
court in their respective localities.
Al the last session of congress,
representative Uncle Joe" Can
NON. Danville, Edward E. Denison,
Cairo. and other members intro
6ueed bills providing for the crea-
tion of an additional judicial dis
.r;ct in the state, but this plan was
abandoned when Attorney General
naugherty and Chief Justice Taft
oyer-ruled the suggestion. The
walsh bill, creating % new judge
shius, assigned to existing districts.
was introduced as a substitute and
is nov the plan pending before con-
gress.
Danvflle will probably get one of
fine two extra judgeships assigned
to Illinois, according to Illinoisans
who discussed the Walsh bill here
this week. Uncle Joe" Cannon, as
the dean of the house, is asserting
his influence TO have a Danyille
man selected for the place in order
to give DanviIle a branch of the
court taken from Danville when
East st. Louis was made the seat
of the eastern district.
Both Illinois senators, it is I'M
65rstood. have agreed to allow
"Uncle Joe" to name the extra
fudge for the eastern district and
il the bill passes this plan will
probably be followed That the bill
will encounter opposition in the
senate is a practical certainty, since
only II OF the states are assigned
Judges under the Walsh plan. An
other bill which has been intro
duced in the senate provides for
the creation of IS new judgeships,
appointed at large with two new
Judges for each of the nine circuits,
and fight may be made to substi-
tnts the latter measure for the
Walsh bill.
Senator Mckinley late this week
announced that he will support the
Walsh bill, in the form in which it
was considered this week in the
lower house.

who was all but black, Tommy Tree
Cricket looked decidedly delicate.
But he could fiddle all night without
getting tired.
"I've come all the way from the

Chirpy called to his cousin Tommy.
Come up and have a seat!" said
Tommy Tree Cricket.
Il can find one here, thank you,
Chirpy answered.
"Oh! Don't sit on the damp

dangerous thing to do
Chirpy Cricket smiled to himself.
In way Tommy Tree Cricket was

I've finished playing this tune we'll

Cant you stop fddling long

Chirpy asked him. 1--WE come here
to ask you whether you ever saw a
cousin of ours called Mr.. Mole
Cricket
"Re-teat! re-teat! re-teat" Tommy
Tree Cricket was already fddling
away as if it were the last night of
the summer. He was making so
much shrill music that he couldn't
hear a word Chirpy said. The more
Chirpy tried to attract his attention
the harder he played, rolling his eyes
in every direction-except that Of
his caller.
Several times Chirpy Cricket
leaped into the air, hoping that
Tommy Tree Cricket would see that
he had something important to say.
But Tommy paid not the slightest
heed to him.
At last Chirpy decided that he
might as we'll do little hddling him

began his cr-r-r-i! cr-r-r-i! cr-r-r-i!

Chirpy Cricket thought that his
cousins face was slightly darker. as
if a flush of annoyance had come
over it. He certainly didn't want to
quarrel with Tommy Tree Cricket.
So he said to him, very mildly. Il

Tommy. ct makes me think OF that

There is no doubt that Tommy

More Truth Than Poetry
THE BATHTUB PIRATE
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE

Though gales be strong and pillows rough
And black with storm the skies,
From Faucet Point to Porcelain Bluff
His evil signal flies,
And we'll may mariners turn pale
And head their craft toward home,
When they dcscry his bellying sail
Across the tossing foam.
Where he has cruised, along the beach
Are stately ships and grand
Whose gaunt and naked timbers bleach
Upon the sunlit sand.
Where he has sailed, beneath the waves
Are heaps OF human bones
Consigned TO the eternal grave
Watched DER by Davy Jones.
Blow high or low. he holds his course
Forever in pursuit
untouched by pity or remorse)-
OF galleons to loot.
And treasure vessels seek in vain
To double Shower Cape,
When he appears upon the main
He battles all escape
But even pirates need must rest
And when the shadows fall
Across the oceans heaving breast
A deep and purple pail
He says farewell while to crime,
For Mother pats his head,
And murmurs: Don't you think it's time
That children were in bed?"

Council Fixes
Howard Street
Building Lines
Objection to Plan for Ceding
Strips on South Side Met
By Agreement Reached
With Property Owners.

The Howard street controversy
was adjusted by the city council yes
terday when the city commits
sioners visited the site of the pro-
posed change OF building lines be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth
Streets.
, No difference OF opinion existed
as to the necessity or the method OF
Strengthening the north side OF How
ard street by condemning 10 feet.
which new line is being observed by
the paving contractor who is at
work.
Permitted Building Extension.
The chief objection to the pro-
posed plan for ceding strip on the
south side OF the street was that it
permitted a possible building exten-
sion OF q feet for the Flatiron build
ing at the Seventeenth street point
and thus would place the new build
ing line out OF harmony with a line
OF vision from the cast or west.
The owners of the F!atiron proper
ty agreed to accept II l2 feet of ad-
ditional building space instead OF %
feet, which proposition was agree
able to L. V. Nicholas and other
protestants. This contemplates
wide sidewalk at the Flatiron corner.
Wolf to Get $4,000.
The proposition submitted by City
commissioner koutsky and in
formal :. approved yesterday after
noon by council was that city pay TO
Harry A. Wolf $4,000 for his lease
hold interest OF half OF the north
strip and the Kountze interests on
the south side of the street pay
10000 as their share of the $4,000,
the balance to be paid through the
medium of special taxes to be as
sessed through the district.
Howard street will be 67 feet wide
between Seventeenth and Eight
eenth, according to the new plan.
