ASKS HIGH COURT TO DISMISS CHICAGO WATER FIGHT

LAKE STATES TO LOSE POINT, CITYJSVICTOR Report Says Congress Has Authority to Divert i Stream to River. "Bn United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—Charles Evans Hughes, special master in the Jake States’ suits to stop diversion of Great Lakes water through the Chicago drainage canal, today recommended to the United States Supreme Court dismissal of the case. The high court usually follows recommendations of the special master in such cases. , Sanitation at Stake Chicago now draws 8,500 cubic feet a second under War Department permit, through its sanitary canal and the Chicago and Illinois rivers. The city’s sanitary district and the State of Illinois defended the diversion as necessary to navigation and sanitation. Some Chicagoans had expressed fears of widespread disease contagion if the diversion was stopped as asked by other lake States. Hughes’ report asserted that Congress has power to regulate the amount of the diversion, and said Congress has not acted. Meantime the secretary of war has power to regulate the diversion Within reason. Complainants' May Sue "I think, however,” the report said, “that if a situation should develop in which the defendants were seeking to create or continue a withdrala of water from Lake Michigan without the sanction of Congress or of administrative officers acting under its authority, the complainant states have such an interest as would entitle them to bring a bill to restrain such action. •‘I therefore recommend that the bill be dismissed without prejudice tp the right of the complainants to institute suit to prevent a diversion of water from Lake Michigan in case such diversion is made or attempted without authority of Taw. “Complete control of the diversion remains with Congress.” Hughes’ report, if upheld as anticipated, is expected to result in a campaign for immediate Congressional action as the question is held of paramount importance to Great Lakes commence, especially from Duluth and Milwaukee. Proceedings to reduce the amount of the diversion, would have to be made to Secretary of War Dwight P. Davis.

’65 ECHO IN DEATH

Court Custodian Former Slave

BY BEN STERN WITH the smoke of battle fat behind, the long, weary column of blue-clad cavalrymen was glad to rest near the cool, white plantation manor. The rattle of equipment and the noise made in tying the horses attracted the attention of bright-eyed, curious children who, with their mother, were the only inhabitants of the plantation, from which the owner had fled as the Northern troops advanced. One bright-eyed little fellow, eager to help, scurried about aiding the cavalrymen in watering and feeding the horses and then volunteered to shine the boots of the commanding officer. His willingness made him a favorite. Soon the command to continue the march was given and the men swung into their saddles. All the children scattered except one.

Pleading and begging to be taken along by the big tall men from the North, “Marse Lincoln’s soldiers,” he dogged the footsteps of the captain. Just as the command of “march” was given, the captain leaned from his saddle, plucked the child from the ground and placed him behind on the horse and away swung the cavalcade. - a •# THAT’S the story that William Abstome used to tell the employes at the Statehouse, where, for twenty-four years, he was orderly and custodian of the Appellate Court. He followed the troops through the campaign and then accompanied the officer, whose body servant he had become, back north. William Abstome, 71, will be buried Friday. The Negro Shriners, of which organization he was a charter member, will be in charge of the funeral. When Judge Willis C. McMahan of the Appellate Court reached

NEW FORDS ON DISPLAY DEC. 2, NATIONIS TOLD ‘Mystery Model’ to Be Shown in Detroit Sales Branch, Says Dispatch. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—A Detroit dispatch to the Dow-Jones Financial News Service today said the new Ford model will go on display at the Detroit sales branch at Highland Park, Mich.. Dec. 2. “Tudor and coupe models will be exhibited to Michigan dealers at a special meeting at the Detroit branch this morning,” said the dispatch. “Dealers also will be shown publicity material for the new car and be informed of the company's advertising plans. “Another meeting of city dealers will be held Friday, when mechanical features will be explained.” Ford Aided in Design B i HAMMOND, BI Ind., Nov. 23. Henry Ford, whose original model “T” was the product of his own hands, has designed part of the new Ford in his private workshop, the Hammond Times says in a story revealing that the 1928 model is being shipped to dealers. The story says that enough of the new Fords will be run off the assembly line for simultaneous display by all dealers in the United States on or about Dec. 2, when the first official showing will take place in England with the opening of the British automobile show. “The car,” the Times continues, “is equipped with four wheel, internal expanding brakes, which were designed by Hiffiry Ford in his private workroom. Service or emergency brakes are on the rear wheels and are external contracting, actuated by a hand lever. “The motor, contrary to expectations, is not a small bore, long stroke affair of the high speed, high compression type, but is an even larger motor than that of the old Model T. It has four cylinders with a bore of 3*4 inches and a stroke of 4%. It will have a rating of about 23 horsepower and develop from 45 to 48 horsepower on a brake test.”

White House Chef Is Puzzled; Too Many Turkeys for Dinner

BY KENNETH CRAWFORD United Frees Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The White House chef was confronted today with the serious annual problem of deciding which gift turkey is to be honored with decapitation for the President’s Thanksgiving dinner. From a long row of crates in the larder of the executive mansion, he must select one of the pompous birds for tomorrow’s White House feast. Entrants in the contest for his favor, each a carefully selected fowl from the aristocracy of turkeydom, were sent to the president from Mt. Pleasant, Ohio; North Platt Valley, Neb.; Merrill, Neb., and Brady, Texas. Others were expected today. So that disappointments may be avoided, the

POPULATION OF NATIONMOUNTS Near 124,000,000 Director of Census Says. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The 1930 census of the United States is expected to reveal the Nation’s population as around 124,000,000. William Steuart, Commerce Department census director, said in his annual report today. Should this figure be reached, he pointed out, it would mea nthe population of this country has increased by more than 19,000,000 since the 1920 census, when the bureau recorded 105,710,620 persons. The population of the United States in the first census, taken 147 years ago, showed-3.929,214. Steuart’s prediction for 1930 would mean the country’s population has increased more than thirty times since then. STAGE 2 HOLD-UPS \ Four Bandits Are Sought After Robberies.
