dant's right to the aid or counsel in
every stage is denied the proceedings
cannot stand.
I'm closing this letter I want to re-
call to your mind the events OF the
first few days after you issued your
warrant. You were then quoted In the
papers as stating that after checking
up the various points of the Ward
story Independently you had secured In
formation tending to confirm NUMBER
of them. including his tale of the gun
battle Shortly after that the news
papers began to attack the defense py
publishing reports Of what they referred
to as discrepancies between the deien-
dants contention and information which
they obtained from other sources.
Discrepancies Cleared Up.
MANY of those so-called discrepancies
cleared themselves UP when the infCrma-
ton was found to be spurious. Ihere
remain, however. a number OF points IN
the newspaper stories which ought to
be cleared up by an examination OF the
witnesses whom you have subpGnaed
to testify as to the finding of the BODY
of Peters and as to surrounding condi-
tions.
THE press kept reiterating lists OF
these so-called discrepancies and the
next that we knew was the defendant
rearrest and the fixing of S50,00n bail.
Although a great deal OF the harm done
cannot be repaired, 1t would seem to be
mere justice to permit the defendant at
this time to do as much as he can by
cross-examining the witnesses to show
how unfair the campaign against him
has BEEN

PIONEER CO. GIVEN
C|TY'S D. X. TO USE
FOX RIVER BRIDGE
RENEW RESOLUTION ADOPTED
IN 1891 GRANTING FIREPROOF-
ING CO. RIGHT TO LAY TRACKS
AND RUN CLAY CARS OVER
PRESENT STRUCTURE.

Formal consent of the council to
place its tramway across the new
Fox river bridge was given the
National Firproofing company last
night by the city council. The per
mission came in the form of re-
newed resolution passed by an ad-
minstration in existence way back in
1891. The 1891 resolution gave the
company the right to lay its tracks
across the present bridge and last
nights proceedings, extending the
same privilege to cover the bridge
now under course of construction,
was merely renewal of that action.
After a motion had been presented
that the permission be granted, the
council voted unanimously in its
favor
The tile concern will use part of
the c., O. & p. tracks for its narrow
guage road. laying one rail inside
the two used by the traction com
pany and sending it's trolley and clay
cars over the bridge in this manner.
Permit for Temporary Bridge.
ing set in the Fox river for tenn
porary bridge, Mayor Weeks at the
suggestion of Superintendent Sacket,
Of Illinois WATERWAYS, asked the coun-
ell to authorize the city executive
and clerk to petition the state depart
ment of public works and buildings
for formal permission to erect the
bridge to be used while the perman-
ent structure is under construction.
The. proceedings, according to
Sacket are made necessary to insure
removal Of all the piles and other
raphernalia in the river after the
new bridge is completed.
Sacket in his admonishments to
the city said that frequently the state
had been up against situations
dangerous to navigation because of
contractors negleCting to take out
piles driven into Nriyers while bridge
work was being done.
He said, according to the mayor,
that it was a frequent practice of
to saw off the piles and
leave the stubs protrudng from the
river at the surfaCes-a custom eX-
ceedingly dangerous to water traf-
hC
BY petitioning the state for per-
mission, it was said, would insure all
stubs being taken out of the water.
The temporary bridge will be used
by interurban cars and foot traffic.
If it is possible without endangering
the lives Of people auto traffic may
be permitted to use the structure.
This however has not been fully de-
cided but is being left until a later
date for final decision. In event
motor and other forms of vehicle
traffic are barred from using the
bridge. they will be sent around over
the acdueduct getting to and from
town. The mayor advised his col
leagues that he didn't expect the
present bridge to be closed for the
next thirty days, during which time
all traffic will have use of it,

c. Of c. COMPLETES
ARRANGEMENTS FOR
TEACHERS MEETING
SPONSORS ANNUAL CONVENTION
OF ILLINOIS MUSIC EDUCATORS
WHO WILL BE GETAWAYS
GUESTS LATE IN OCTOBER

The Ottawa Chamber of Commerce
in cooperation with the various or
ganizations in town has Just com
pleted arrangements with the Illinois
Music Teachers association for their
1922 musical festival and annual con
ference.

the music teachers and artists in Hi
nois and numbers in its ranks Some
of the finest talent in the world. The
artists give their time to the associa-
ton once each year, and the festival,
which is planned will last three days
and will be held the latter part of
October, the exact dates to be de-
termined later.
The program consists of three meet
ings each day, in the morning the
teachers and artists have round table
discussions, the afternoon and even
concerts, together with lectures and
papers on musical subjects. The pub
lie will not only be invited to attend
all OF these meetings, but it is very
important for them to do so, for the
Chamber of Commerce and individu-
ais who signed the guarantee will re-
quire the cooperation of the public
in order to successfully stage this un-
usually interesting and educational
event.
Ottawa has a reputation for being
one of the most progressive cities
in Illinois in an educational way, and
as this convention and musical fes-
tival was held here once before, and
proved highly successful, its reputa-
ton will create new interests and
enthusiasm among the young and old
and as season ticket for the three
days is less than the amount asked
for musical recital, the signers Of
the guarantee, and other interested,
feel that there will be no trouble in
selling enough tickets to raise the
required amount of money
The music teachers in the city,
together with members of the Zonta
club, Amateur Musical club and
Woman's club are very much inter
ested in this festival and have prom
ised their support and cooperation.
