6 STATES OPPOSE
LAKE FLOW FIGHT
Mississippi Valley Attor-
neys-G General Join Hands
With Illinois.
WANT WATER RIGHTS

Chicago a. = Attorneys general
of six states between here and the
mouth of the Mississippi river have
agreed to back Illinois in the Lake
Michigan diversion suit brought in the
United States supreme court by Mlchl-
gan, Wisconsin and other states to
prevent any lake water flowing through
the drainage canal into the lower nayi-
CATION channels.
In this action representatives OF
Louisiana, Missouri, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Mississippi and Arkansas, who
conferred here yesterday with Chicago
Association Of Commerce officials, took
the ground that their interests were
identical with Illinois. It was MAIN
tanned that 10000 cubic foot a second
flow is necess ary to maintain perma-
nent water levels in the lower Missis-
sippi and assure year-round naviga-
ton.
At the same time impetus was given
to the lakes to. gulf waterway. plan by
the announcement of Atty Gen. Carl
strom of Illinois that the legal way is
now clear to go ahead with the con-
struction of the remaining locks in the
Illinois river.
Waterway is Progressing.
He said the state had just purchased
the land necessary to immediate COM
pletion of locks between Lockpcrt and
Utica, and that he is ready to insti-
tute suits to acquire 1,400 acres Of
overflow land required and for the re-
moval of the old earth dam at Mar
settles. The Chicago conference was
the outgrowth of the recent session of
the Mississippi valley association at
St. Louis.
It was agreed that the states repre-
sented would ask leave to intervene in
the supreme. court suit. Any plea to
be made, it was announced, will have
nothing to do with the sanitary re-
.quirements of Chicago, around which
the fight had been waged in the past,
but will be predicated upon the need
of water withdrawal from the lake for
navigation purposes. The lakes to the
gulf waterway runs through the Illi-
nois drainage canal, the Desplaines
river, the Illinois river to the Missis-
sippi. The conference agreed upon

placing of the stock and business of
the drug store in the hands of re-
ceiver. While the store was being
operated, he said in long distance
conversation with a reporter for the
Evening News this morning, the per-
nit was issued to Charles E. Lowe,
but as soon as the drug store ceased
to do business the permit was auto
matically void, and the liquor stocks
were then placed in the hands of the
federal officers.
The reports of the result of the in
vestigation now being made by fed
eral agents will not be ready for at
least week, Sterling said. 1t will
take several days before the work will
be completed.

the bandit came in. He pretended to
be customer. Tanner who sensed
nothing amiss, went out to the rear
room to get some fuel to stoke the

and putting five-dollar bill on the
counter, said, "That's deposit"
But when the man in charge was
about to put hand on the bill sud
den movement on the part of the GUS
toner caused him to look up and he
found himself looking into the "busi-
ness endi' of a long blue steel gun.
"Just leave that" said the holdup
man.. "and add to it, everything you've
got"
The man in charge tumbled out the
cash and checks. The, bandit took the
offering, and left quickly, Fastening
towards the Northwestern depot.

| spicuously, too, "red nose" The po-
| lice sent messages at once to Wauke-
| gan and other nearby cities.

case, learned that man of the descrip-
/ lion given had been staying for about
four days at rooming house near the
Northwestern station. The name un-
der which he had registered was
flashed the police departments OF
other cities, and the police are conf
dent that before long they will be
able to catch the "coal customer"
