the police station at 1880 last night
and told Lieutenant Bamforth his
wife got out of their automobile and
threatened to report him to the po-
lice, so he thought he would get
there first, according to Lieutenant
Bamforth. He was intoxicated and
, unfit to drive car, according to
Lieutenant Bamforth and Sergeant
McCue.
Yurewitch said he had two drinks
of wine after work last night. His
wife's sister wanted to be driven
home and he went with her, although
he knew he was unfit to drive. She
insisted on being driven to her
mothers home at the corner of
Hartford avenue and East Main
street, but on the way over she in
sisted on getting out of the car, He
thought she was going to the police
station, and he wanted to get there

Edward Faigen, aged 90. of 227

the charge of violation of the city
ordinance by blocking traffic on
Church street. Officer Clarence
Lanpher testified that Faigen left a

Recalled to the witness stand,
Officer Lanpher testified that the
trolley car could not have passed
in safety.
Attorney Gordon claimed Faigen
was not guilty under the ordinance.
There was no malice and the
delay was not intentional, Attorney
Gordon claimed, and he asked for
discharge.
Prosecuting Attorney Woods said
Officer Lanpher has been on the
force more than 80 years yet At
torney Gordon is trying to con-
vince the court that the officer is
not qualified to tell when trolley
car has room to pass a standing
truck. If the trolley could have
passed, the motorman would not
have held it there II minutes, he
said.
Judge Alling said the streets are
for the use of the public and every
business house should have means
of getting its merchandise in with
out necessitating the blocking of
traffic. Public necessity certainly
does not require that the streets
be blocked while merchandise is
being delivered, he said.
In this particular case, Faigen
was not justified in leaving the
truck in such position as TO
block and interfere with traffic
after the paper had been taken off

Cities and towns labored with cur
tailed utilities service, meagre out
side contacts and disrupted trans
portation, while farm lands in some
areas were under water.

ATTORNEY RICHARD E. WEST
BROOKS, HEAD OF THE LAW
FIRM OF ELLIS AND WEST
BROOKS, 5000 SOUTH STATE
STREET, HAS ENTERED THE
RACE FOR THE LEGISLA-
TURE OF ILLINOIS

From all appearances there will be a
lively scrap among the four Republi-
can candidates seeking the Republican
nomination for the legislature Of Illi-
nois from the first senatorial district.
The aspirants follow:
Hon. S. B. Turner, who is up for
reelection; Hon. Charles A. Griffin,
whose term also expires; Hon. Richard
E. Westbrooks, CONSUL for Liberia,
and Col Jacob R. Upper, head chief of
the Chicago Enterprise, are the four
contenders.
Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Griffin claim
it is nothing for them to do, in the
way of fighting for their renomina-
tons, but the shouting and that they
will both go over the top on primary
day, Tuesday, April IS; and Col. Tip
per claims that he has bulldog grip
on the nomination and that he is nom
mated right now.
Attorney Westbrooks states that if
he is elected to the legislature of Hi
nois that he will introduce a bill to
repeal and knock out the prohibition
law galley west; that he is absolutely
in favor of wine and beer and other
beverages which may be even a little
stronger than wine and beer and, in
the language of Hon. S. B. Turner,
Mr. Westbrooks might be induced to
be in favor Of more whisky, cheaper
whisky and better whisky"

He said he had been asked what was
his attitude with reference to the

and the worlds court was against war
1t is the duty of every citizen, espe-
cially of our group, to give to Chaplain
Braddan their undivided support. If
there is an ounce Of patriotism among
the aspirants on the other ticket. they
will manly withdraw and give to this
hero in justice TO his service to the
sleeping soldier in the common earth
on the foreign soil who gave their
lives in the defense of a nation. The
people await the result of the ballot,
especially in the district where we live,
to see what our loyalty to the fighting
chaplain means.
Hon Alexander Fyfe was then in
troduced by the chairman as the next
mayor Of Chicago and he assured his
hearers that while he was not yet on
the ticket if he should be on ticket
he would win. Mr. Fyfe in turn intro
duced Rev. John Wesley Hill of New
York, who told the story of the origin
of the worlds court and explained the
beginning Of the issue Of future treaties
that would ultimately bring about the
abatement Of war and he pictured as
the first concept of the worlds court
the reference in Abraham Lincoln's
second inaugural address i'll which he
spoke of just and lasting peace for the
United States and with all nations He
laid this issue down as the fundamental
issue upon which the party is endeav
the civilization of the world. Being
the representative of Senator Mckin-
ley, whose other engagements de-
prived him Of the opportunity Of being
present, he came out from the old En-
pire State to tell the story for the SEN
ator. 1t was a party measure adopted
in the party platform at the Republi
can convention held in Cleveland, Ohio,
in 1924 That platform met the ap-
proval Of the American voters by a
plurality of seven million and President
Coolidge in his first inaugural address
clearly laid down the reason for en-
deavoring to accomplish the principles
upon which he had been made presi-
dent Of the United States He showed
that Senator Mckinley, being a party
man, would have violated his trust to
the people, not only of Illinois but of
the nation, who had intrusted him to

carry out the mandates given at the
ballot box. Then, too, he cited the
amendments which were offered to the
original worlds court measure that il
was within the province Of the people
at any time thereafter that ii the func-
tons OF the court were not in accord
with our government, we could, with
out IMMUNITY, withdraw He advised
the people Of Illinois to pause long
enough to consider the fact that Sen
ator Mckinley was only obeying their
order and instruction in voting for
the world court. If the people gave
the order and they afterward felt that
it was wrong, they should have waited
until at least their instruction should
have had a trial. Thus he appealed to
the Republicans OF Illinois to stand BY
the senator for reelection April 18th
The last speaker was Alderman Guy
Guernsey of the sixth ward, who is
candidate for trustee Of the sanitary
board. Alderman Guernsey stands out
as having served the people effectively
in three different offices. He was clerk
of the probate court, member of the
Illinois legislature and alderman of the
city council, where he is now men,
Der Of the finance committee and the
important traction committee which
has to deal with the surface and ele-
waited franchises. He comes to you at
this time asking your support for
member OF the drainage board of Chi
cago. He took for his theme the line
of duplicity that would be used on
election day to confuse and deprive
the voters in large Republican wards
of their right to vote. He explained
the necessity of carefully looking down
the column of candidates till you had
found the names of all the men you
wanted to vote for He told his hear
erS not to hurry but stay in the booth
till they had found all the names and
marked them and folded the ballot and
saw that said vote was carefully put
into the ballot box He said it was the
secret policy Of the Grove Barrett
combination, to deprive the Deneen
candidates Of the right to vote by
means of disorder and confusion and
he urged the voters to guard against
this thievery.

and one joys OF life. There was
vivacious merriment, not yet dulled
by too much experience with q
harsh world. There was fresh
spontaneous happiness, a happi.
ness born Of the moments de-
light.
For weeks and weeks they had
been planning this affair. It was
an anticipation to be cherished, to
be Rugged tight to their youth
full hearts.
A night Of nights!
Stealing a tewelled moment OF

Heats His Blood With Chill Air
It must have been about 1890
when I got my. hat and coat, had
my car called, and ordered my
chauffeur to, drive. to the Nc

SO quiet on this winter night, /
opened the windows OF my car a
little to get the fine cool air into
my lungs.

myself. "you need the chill air to
brace you up and send the red

had descended upon me, but
could, at least, be a youth by
proxy, and I could strive to cap

And as we hummed down the
streets of New York, there was in
my heart a joy which / could not
explain-untiI later.
My car drove up to the Broad

jumped out lightly, inquired where
the sorority was holding its dance
and bounded quickly up the stairs
to the balcony

of whispering, although a jazz band
was grooming and crashing through
lively air. Then fny friend Of

with q charming woman when
remembered the affair at the Nc
Alpin. Suddenly the whole scene
palled on me.
Here In this gorgeous ballroom
was an atmosphere Of languid,
pleagure-seeking. do not say this
in any way derogatory to my COM
panions. They were charming
people. But they had all that life
and wealth could give. Their every
wish could be. gratified by rubbing
that faithful old Aladdin's Lamp
the Bank Book. For them unusual
pleasures were not things to be
dreamed of and prepared for though
days and weeks. and then to be re
membexed with tingling blood for
months after. They were ordinary
occurrences. It is not strange that
these people were a trifle "fed.up."
and that the full JOY OF life had
gone out Of them.
Youth Calls TO Mr.. Browning
My mind turned to the merry
scenes that even then were being
enacted at the sorority dance at the
McAlpin.
There was youth-not full-blos-
somed and ready to fade into drab
womanhood and manhood, but
youth in the bud, youth just be-
ginning to awake to the thousand
