boat was buffeted and tossed When
the storm subsidized all were ex-
hausted.
Then, regaining strength, Capt.
Ropke went ashore to see if he were
off Halifax or Nantucket.
Now there must be no reflection on
his good boat. Probably light gale
would have moved it little. But
the fact remains that twenty four
hours Of storm had carried it only TO
Fifteth street and the lakefront.
The Skipper "Squats"
Disguised at being unable to leave
Chicago, Capt. Ropke went ashore
and "squatted" on the barren lake
front.
Frank Ropke, his son, still lives
there. But since that fateful night, a
railroad has run it's lines nearby,
and big buildings are all around.
The lands value is sky high. So
is Ropke's determination to keep it.
Likewise, the railroads determina-
ton that he won't.
But courts twice have decided in
Ropke's favor. He says he'll stay
until his title is clear, and then cash
in at last on that awful night o.
1892.

new STATION
IN CHICAGO
OPEN TODAY
Union Depot, Under COnstruc-
ton Since 1915, Formally
Dedicated

Chicago, July tFD--Chicago s
new union station, construction OF
which was started in 1918, today was
formally opened to patrons of four
railroads, three of which are owners
and one a tenant The station was
built at cost of $50, 900, 600 and has
facility area Of 100000 square
feet. 1t now accommodates 800 trains
daily, with space for future CApan-
sion.
1t has "A foundation for an Office
building superstructurc Of Il floors,
eight of which are now complete.
Portions of the terminal have bcen
in use for several weeks, but tn"
ceremonial and testimonial dcdlca-
ton of the structure was set for to-
day. The name of Joshua ID opposite,
chief engineer, figured prominently
in the exercises. Twenty years ago
he was financially broke. He was
singled out in the speeches today as
the builder of n monument.
The station building covers an
area of about three acres and daily
matricuates some $4,000 passengers
and 400 tons of baggage. It's space
is five times that of the old station.
Seventeen thousand tons Of struc-
tural steel and upwards of 100000
cubic feet of limestone and granite
are in its make up. 1t rests upon a
foundation Of 449 cylindrical piers,
from to 10 feet in diameter, reach
ing to depth of more than SO feet
below the level Of the Chicago river
Owners of the station are the
Pennsylvania railroad. the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, and the Chi
cago. Milwaukee 4 st. Paul. The
Chicago e. Alton is a tenant.
D'Esposito in 1903 landed job
with the Pennsylvania, principally
on his good looks. He was not par
ticular about salary. Between then
and 1919, when he was made chief
engineer Of the Chicago project, he
stepped from ordinary craftsman to
various intermediary positions
While actual work was commenced
in 1915, with D'Esposito as associate
architect, it was halted for nearly
two years during the World war

to the station, the war had altered
