tee which first heard a postoffice de.
partment estimate that the new rates,
1naugurated April Is, had fallen far

month of May, the first full month
of operation for the new rates, postal
revenues were estimated to have in.

charge, to patrons of the Union Sta
meetings
To give some idea Of the immensely
of the new station, 1t may be stated
that the main building covers an area
Of about three acres with concourse
covering 10000 square feet. The en-
tire terminal facilities cover more than
IS acres and will expedite the prompt
and satisfactory handling of $4,000
passengers, 400 tons of baggage and
300 trains daily with room for future
expansion. Fifteen acres of glass
were used in the various coverings
over the train sheds, which extend
more than 1000 feet beyond the main
structure. A total of 1900 tons of
structural steel, 175,000 cubic feet of
Indiana limestone and 10000 cubic
feet of granite were used in the sta
tion building and concourse. The foun-
dalton consists of 449 cylindrical con-
crete piers from four to ten feet in
diameter, reaching to depth of more
than 60 feet below the level Of the
Chicago river.
Those who have had the privilege
Of inspecting the new station pro-
nounce 1t marvel In terminal con-
struction and are urging their friends
to see 1t on their next visit to Chicago.
The station is used Jointly by the

COUNTY NOT TO
BUY CHURCHES
in PLAZA SITE
Two Commissioners Say
They Will Not Sign Bond
Issue Order.

Marion County will not purchase
the two churches in the World War
Memorial Plaza. This was an
nounced certain today by Commits
sioners Charles o. Sutton and John
Kitley, who said they would not sign
an order for a $1,20O,0 900 bond issue.
Failure of the county to buy the
properties by Jan. l will mean they
can remain on their present sites
for twenty-five years, II they so de.
sire.
John McCloskey. board of commits
sioners president, already has signed
the order.
William Elder. who represents the
Memorial commission, conferred
with Kitley and informed him Sut-
ton would sign the order If he would.
II just can't see how the county
can carry the heavy taxation burden
which would result" sutton said.
Under the proposed bond issue 1t was
understood 100000 would be paid
each for the First Baptist and
Second Presbyterian Churches.
Sutton received resolution this
morning from the Disabled Ameri-
can Veterans of the World War
asking the commissioners not to buy
the churches. ''If the county has
any money to spend, let them build
additional buildings at Sunnyside,"
the resolution suggested. A resolu-
ton signed by 152 taxpayers living
in Southport. Sutton's home, asking
the commissioners not to buy the
churches, was presented several
days ago.

OF MITCHELL
Resolution Would Reduce
Five Year Suspension to
Thirty Days.
COOLIDGE MAY ACT
President Expected to Re-

Bu United Press

Bu Cn4ted Press
! WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Con.
gressional friends of Col. William
Mitchell moved today to rescue him
from the five-year suspension from
rank and pay imposed upon him by
his jury of generals. A bill was
introduced in the House by Rep
resentative F. H. La Guardia,
Socialist, New York, to cut the SEN
tence from five years to thirty days.
MitchelPs sentence to five years
suspension from the Army is on its
way through the War Departments
legal machinery to President Cool
idge, who, it is believed, will reduce
it, possibly to only two years.
The Colonel and his friends and
Army officers generally were specu-
lating meanwhile upon the amazing
ramifications of the penalty which
the court of nine generals and one
colonel passed upon him last night,
after fifty-one days of sitting and
two hours and forty minutes delib-
GRAFTON.
Prevailing opinion seemed to be
that the sentence, whilel short Of dis
missal, which the War Department
sought, still is unduly harsh for a
peace time conviction under the
