day of freedom in thirty-four years.
William McKinley was President.
Roger Wolcott was Governor Of

American war had not yet been
fought when this man, now thin

serve a life sentence for killing a
fellow worker.
Boston's crooked streets were
filled with horse drawn traffic at
the time
He was astonished at the changes
that had taken place-at the num-
Der of motor vehicles, at the Boston
elevated railway and subway sys-
tenn, at airplanes which scared over
the city, at new buildings which
had sprung up.
Its different world than I
thought it would be-" he said.
Forty years ago I believed it would
be 200 years before we would have
airplanes."
At the statehouse, where he called
to thank Governor Joseph B. Ely
in connection with his release, Stew
art exclaimed:
This is the first time I have been
here. What a magnificent build
ingt"
Stewart will spend the next month
under the care of the Salvation
Army, then plans to go to work
Asked if he intended to get mar
ried, he replied:

self"

ONE GOVERNMENT
IN CHICAGO URGED
$50, 100000 Savings Are
Claimed for Proposed Coun-
: Gil of City and County.
ny the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october "a system Of
supergovernment designed to save the
taxpayers of Cook County and Chicago
e5o00O,0oO annually has been proposed
BY the City Council subcommittee.
Under the plan Chicago metropol-
itan council" would have jurisdiction
over all Cook County and the territory
within 80 miles of the city's limits.
The subcommittee said that expendi-
lures amounting to $142, 0O0,O0O in Cook
County in 1920 had increased to $685.
100000 in 1929 and estimated that the
cost In 1881 would be 10000, 900.
This, the body said, was out of proper
ton with the growth of population and
wealth, and, in some instances, was
caused by numerous Implications in the
duties of county and city officers. In
some cases official responsibility, thus
divided, was destroyed.
The subcommittee estimated that
there were AIS separate taxing bodies
IN Cook County with overlapping duties.
The supergovernment council would
have the mayor of Chicago and the
county president as ex-officio members
with five elected members for four-year
terms, three to be residents of Chicago.

From Hotel Window

RENO, Nevada, october g.
Joe Slattery jumped out of a
Sixth-floor window of Reno
Hotel On a dare, but he had to be
helped to the ground.
Joe landed in a tall shade tree.
A hook and ladder company was
called to extricate him. Even at
that it looked for a time as
though Slattery might have to
spend the night in the tree. for a
32-foot ladder wasn't quite long
enough to reach his precarious
perch.
The firemen finally tossed a
rope to Slattery from the very
window through which he had
jumped and then lowered him,
