Chicago Aldermen Call on
Mayor to Cooperate
With Committee.
BY MERTON 7. AKERS
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Bankrupt
and beset by murderers, bombers
and thieves, Chicago sank still
deeper into debt today with the
dawn Of another payless pay day
for city employees.
Not even tax anticipation war
rants could be placed in the
envelopes of the 10000 workers to
whom the city already is indebted
more than 81, 100000. When banks
announced that the warrants would
not be cashed. the plan to give
them to employees in lieu of money
was abandoned.
To add TO the city's worries,
gangsters and other outlaws choose
this inopportune time to stage
another series of spectacular crimes.
The murder curve on the city S
chart swung sharply upward with
the depletion of municipal funds.
The city council was on record
today, with a resolution pledging its
own support and urging admins
tration officials to lend theirs to the
citizens rescue committee" which
now appears to be about the city's
only hope for financial relief.
The resolution, introduced by
Alderman Jacob NJ. Arvey, asserts:
1.-THE city council. for and in be-
half of the city of Chicago does
hereby pledge itself to cooperate
with the publicly expressed plan
and program of the citizens COM
mittee for the purpose Of inducing
said committee to purchase tax
anticipation warrants Of the city OF
Chicago"
It went on, in f1rmer tone, to lay
down the law to Mayor William
Hale Thompson in these words:
"The mayor. the corporation
counsel and the city controller are
hereby directed and authorized to
cooperate with said committee TO
the same end"

school and this brought forth the statement that the S13,0O0 provided for in the call for the recent town meeting, was to be expended for septic tanks and sewage systems and adequate lavatory facilities in both the old and proposed new schools.
 "ls 1t not a fact that not one dol lar of this s13,000 fund can legally be used on the present kensington Grammar school?
 '1s the school board not aware of this? If so, why was the paragraph relating to and providing for this Sl3,000 not changed so as to leave no possible doubt as to the purpose for which it was to be used?
 '1s it not a fact that, if the propo- sltion as it Is presented for consd- eration, is carried, an additional ap- propriation of about Sl0,000 will be absolutely necessary to correct con- ditions at the kensington Grammar school?
 Was it the intention of the school board to use this method of forcing the voters to provide the s130, 1000 originally asked for?
 Isn't it possible to settle a ques- ton of public welfare in a suppos- odly enlightened community without rcsorting 10 personalities, threats, and boycotts?
 Isn't a disputant who has really CnnH Nny.t |, ic, claims too busy presenting his ar to waste time resorting to threats and subterfuges?
 ''Is it not a shame that so much valuable time has been wasted by high handed attempts at coercion and 70 little time expended on in- forming the voters of the merits and demerits of all plans presented!
 Couldn't the school board have 5aved valuable time by informing he voters why a plan was not feas- ble rather than trying to force their oWn plan on the voters?
 Isn't the school board aware that l good deal of the antagonism which exists was created by its at- itude"
 If the public concerned can be given some honest answers to thes1 questions l hope it will help a little oward the ultimate solution of our problem and we will all thank the Herald for the courtesy shown in our letters

Two men thought they were being held up by robbers last night and as result all but two of the mem hers of the local constabulary rushed 10 a spot near the gasoline filling station owned by Horace Fitzgerald on the turnpike only to find that the supposed robbers had vanished.
 About 1880 o'clock two men dash ed into the filling station, demand ing protection from several men who they claimed had attempted to halt their car. A general alarm was sent out through the town by telephone in an attempt to get in touch with some or all of the constabl Calls were left for five of them to rush o the scene. The telephone mes sages did their work. for in a short time the constables began to gather at the filling station and the search for the ''hold-up men" progressed.
 According to the story advanced 10 local officers by the two men, they were proceeding toward Meri- den early last night when they mo- 1ced two cars parked on the road, one on each side and facing in op- posite in opposite directions. AS their car approached, one of the parked machines shot out toward the mid dle of the road and a man stepped out with a flash light. Sensing some thing unusual, the driver of the in- 1 tended victim stepped on the gas and drove by rapidly Reaching the Fitzgerald filling station he ran up 70 the door and called for protec- ton. The hurry calls were sent out | 10 the constables individually, and l as none could be obtained at their | houses, messages were left for them. | Shortly in autos they began to comb the highway for a trace of the rob- bers.'
 The indefinite information of the two men, who said only that it was 8 big car," gave no clue to the po- lice, and the case in the minds Of most of the offers was dismissed with an explanation that the high wayman" was merely a man in trouble who wanted help, and at- tempted to get it by stopping the first car that came along.
 The poor condition of the back roads was emphasized during the progress of the hunt when several autos became stuck in the mud and had to give up the chase. The occu- pants at least felt sure that no rob- Der could escape the clutches of Berlin's muddy rivers" as the back reads are now being called.
