any other street is opened.
I'VE have also attempted to have
the proviso in the appropriation bill
changed so that that section of Four
teenth street between Montague street
and the hospital grounds could be
opened should we be able to find
benefits equal to the damages. That
would afford considerable relief, but
the situation would not be as satisfac-
tory as it would he were we able to
carry all underground mains and a
certain amount of traffic through the
hospital grounds.
This information is being furnished
to the owners of the property between
Montague street and the hospital
grounds abutting on Fourteenth street
in order that they may know what
we are attempting and may take such
action as they deem desirable. The
chairmen of the District committees of
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives are OF the opinion that the bill
opening Fourteenth street through
the hospital grounds would have no
chance of enactment without the pro-
viso for restricted traffic. and even
with that proviso the chances are
none too good"

such was in keeping with the native

Extract From Letter.

The appropriation act for this
fiscal year carries a proviSo on page

owners along that section of Four.

commissioners have attempted in two
different ways to relieve the situa-

success unless they secure their co.
operation. There is before Congress
"a bill for the extension of Fourteenth
street through the Walter Reed Hos

everything that is desired by the prop

through the hospital grounds. The
street could be opened through the
grounds, however, and sewer. water
and electric mains, sidewalks and
other facilities could be put in in
a normal. systematic way, and all of

Thomas L. Hartigan served as colonel
or lieutenant colonel for a very short
time. Later on, or at the close of the
SpanishAmerican War, he became
Colonel of the 30th United States
Volunteer Regiment and wended his
way to the Philippine Islands, where
he closed his eyes in death some years
ago.
Col. Daniel Moriarty was inducted
into office as colonel of the old Eight
ing Seventh" Regiment in 1898 and
faithfully and honorably served as such
without one black spot against him un-
til the spring of 1918, at which time,
without any just cause whatever, he
was stripped of his military honor and
glory which he had worked hard to
maintain for almost twenty years.
The rank and file Of the old Fight
ing Seventh" Regiment in time found
themselves on French soil and they
became known as the first section of
the ammunition train (108) and they
were divided up into many other units and
that was the last or the end Of the old
Fighting Seventh" Regiment, Illinois
National Guard, whose officers and
men were the idol of the people of
Illinois.
For it will be recalled that the
Seventh Infantry, under Colonel Mori-
arty merited the lasting friendship of
the citizens Of the city Of Cairo, Illinois
for its energetic work in saving their
lives and property from obstruction in
April, 1913. The Commander-in- Chief,
the Governor Of Illinois highly compli-
mented the Seventh Infantry for its
efficiency and the excellence Of dis
cipline throughout the trying period of
the foods.

Col Daniel Moriarty, who COM

from 1898 to 1918, and who had risen
in it all along the line, was born in

1t might be highly interesting to
some Of the citizens Of this city and
also to the people throughout the State
Of Illinois, to learn that many Of the
old officers of the old Fighting
Seventh" Regiment of Illinois, are still
in the land Of the living, notwithstand-
ing the fact that its colonel, its other
officers and the rank and file of its
regiment received a raw deal on the
part of the officials Of the War Depart
ment during the World War for de-
mocracy.
1t will be recalled at that time or
just before the old Fighting Seventh"
Regiment, under the command Of Col.
Daniel Moriarty, was ready to embark
for the battlefelds of France in the
early part of the winter of 1918, where
its members under its gallant colonel
were good and ready to fight and die
for the honor of their country.
But instead Of being permitted to do
any fighting for their country in battle
formation or on the firing line, Col
Moriarty was relieved as the COM
mander of the Old Seventh Regiment
and from further active military duty
or service and the Old Fighting
Seventh" Regiment with its splendid
fighting record behind it was broken
up and its staff and field officers and
its rank and file were scattered to the
four corners Of the earth (as it were)
never to be reunited again in battle
array on this broad green earth.
At that time and at the present time
without the least bit Of bitterness in
our heart of hearts we still honestly feel
that Col. Moriarty and his sold Eight
ing Seventh" Regiment were justly en-
titled to receive far better treatment
than they did at the hands of the head
officials of the War Department at that
time and thousands of friends of the
old Fighting Seventh" Regiment in
this city and state are of the same
opinion.
Eight years have rolled on into
eternity since those unpleasant scenes
were enacted, and now after those years
have passed away and that we are all
marching forward towards the silent
city Of the dead, the old staff and field
