iSTREETERVILLE TO. BE THE SCENE OF " ANOTHER BATTLE

CHICAGO. Sept. 1. "StreeterrUle." In the "Deestrict of Lake Michigan." a Jiart of Chicago's famous "Gold Coast" s about to be the. scene of the thousand and first battle la Its history, according to notice served on United States Marshal Bradley by Captain I George Wellington Streeter, 80-year-' old claimant to a $50,000,000 portion of the exclusive Lake Shore Drive section. "Cap" Streeter and William H. Xiles, one time "military governor" and commanding general of the army of the "deestrict," having notified the federal authorities that they are about to again try to enforce their claim that Streets erville is not in any state In the union, have Invited the American Legion to assist them and set the date for the opening of hostilities as Sept. 6. Wants End to Come Around. A letter to the Legion posts, a copy of which "was also sent to Marshal Bradley, Invites former soldiers to "meet me at the foot of Superior street in uniform, armed and carrying a flag, and help to end by force of arms the treasonable acts of Judges or stand up against a - wall before a firing squad." A postscript invites the legionaires to bring their lunch. Captain Streeter has been fighting since 1886 to establish his claim to one of the most valuable sections of Chicago's lake front. In that year his steamer, the Reutan, stranded on the beach during a storm. Captain Streeter built a breakwater about the stranded boat, 450 feet off shore, and made it Lis home. The rapidly shifting sands filled In the space between boat and shore and (added 193 acres to the city's area. To nhis land Captain Streter laid claim, and in the next quarter of a century battles by the hundreds were fought In -an effort to ovst him. On one occasion 500 police beseiged Streeterville. "General" Nlles pro--clalmed himself "military governor of "the district of Lake Michigan" and -trtth 50 men of his "escort" erected 'breastworks' surmounted by barbed -wire and stood off the police for several days before desertions in the Tanks so weakened the defending force that a lone policeman finally executed ji flank attack and carried the fort. Rules He Has No Right. The courts in 1915 ruled tkat Streeter had no title to the property and his "brick castle, which had succeeded the steamboat home, was wrecked by deputy sheriffs and then burned. In 1902 Streeter and two friends were convicted 'of manslaughter In connection with the death of John S. Kirke, killed in one of the frequent assaults on the castle. All were sentenced to life imprisonment, but after a few months were released. The site of the "deestricf'ls now covered by more than a dozen skyscraper apartment buildings and hotels. The land is valued at more than $50,000,000. Many of the present owners have purchased deeds from Streeter as well as the 6tate In order that their occupancy may not be interfered with by the 80-year-old fireeating veteran. Belongs to Property Owners. Streeter's claim Is based on the contention that the act creating the state of Illinois fixed the "meander line of the lake as the boundary, and that therefore his "deestrict" was outside the state and owed allegiance to no one except the United States.

The courts held, however, that 1111-

Michigan, that all land created by natural secretions of the lake belonged to the adjoining property ownejs; . and that all land created artiflcally belonged to the state. The stranding of .Streeter's steamship -created land artifically, it wa3 held.

Mr. and Mrs. Howard & Figg. Old high cost of living may not be so bad, after all. Anyway, two of Old Hi's bitterest enemies recently decided to take a chance. This la disclosed through announcement of the marriage of Howard E. Figg, special assistant U. S. attorney general, in charge of all campaigns against profiteering, and Miss Edith C Strauss, field agent in the samt department.

ial, which opens today at the Murrette theatre. Is seen at the very pinacle of her fame as the greatest emotional actress of the American stage. Hex screen appearance immortalizes the exquisite dramatic art which gained her the unanimous praise of foremost critics. ' , , . The first nlghters who had the good fortune to witness the opening of the play in New York, were electrified by the sweeping force of Miss Rambeau's characterization of the difficult stellar role. Her fine, dignified Interpretation of the beautiful and cultured Renee Browning, the superstitious wife of the scientist, and her graphic depiction of the Bame woman as a fallen and degraded creature, were the extremes of her emotional sweep. Miss Rambeau's historic triumph is not only equalled but surpassed in the screen version of "The Fortune Teller." Deprived of the use of speech as a medium for the expression of emotional shading, she registers even more forcibly through the technically perfect utilization of her remarkably mobile features. Strangely enough, "The Fortune Teller" is one of those rare emotion pictures which possesses not only a capable star, but a story which combines all the elements of mystery, romance, adventure and heart appeal. Mother-love is its theme. MURRAY "A Master Stroke," a Vitagraph production which will be shown at the Murray theater starting Thursday, presents Earle Williams in an entirely new role. The story deals with financial trouble and the abiding faith of women. This is not a new problem, nor is the faith of women a new subject, but the treatment is entirely new. In book form under the title of "The Three Keys," It had a wide sale and Vitagraph has brought Frederic Van

Rensselaer Deys story to the screen with all its vital color and quick action. We have all of us been faced at times with the bottom of our money bag. gaping wide open, so to 'speak. We most of us know what the faith and encouragement of the one woman means at such times. That is the situation that faces the hero of "A Master .Stroke." That is the wonderful test which the woman who loved him met. She believed In him against the world and his own guilty conscience. Earle Williams plays the hero with the rare sympathy and understanding that is so much a part of all his characterizations.

Produce Trust' Alleged

In Suit of Stansbary INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 1 Attorney General Stansbury has filed suit in the Fountain circuit court, Covington, against an alleged combination of farm produce companies. Six corporations and 45 associated individuals are named as parties to the alleged conspiracy. The so-called "produce trust" is said to operate in nineteen counties in Indiana. They control, according to Mr. Stansbury, egg, butter and poultry prices throughout the district and he has asked tor a temporary restraining order to bring an immediate halt to operations. The attorney general and his assistants hope to secure a permanent Injunction against the corporations and individuals named in the suit under the anti-trust law of 1907. ' The territory covered by the alleged combination includes Warren, Yountain, Parke. Tippecanoe, Carroll, Tipton, Newton, Jasper, Benton, White, Cass, Howard, Madison, Delaware, Henry, Hamilton, Clinton, Boone and

ed." ho said recently, - "when I tell you that during February I received no less than ten proposals q marriage through mall from women and girls whom I have never seen. Of course, I know it is Leap Year. And I know that a majority of them weren't meant in earnest. But, nevertheless, I think it's a pretty serious matter for a young girl to sign ber name to a letter of that sort. And I'm not sure but what a large number of women approach marriage Itself In much this same reckless spirit. "This has been brought home to me lately by the picture in which I have been playing opposite Miss Ethel Clayton. It Is called 'A Lady in Love' and tells of a girl who marries a rascal without knowing a thing about him and later lives to regret it. She is Just the same type of girl who writes proposals of marriage to motion picture players whom they know by name and picture only." "A Lady In Love" is a Paramount Artcraft production and wlU be shown at the Washington Theatre today and tomorrow. MURRAY. Tonight will be the last chance to see "A Sister to Salome," the Fo production which has created such a sensation during its run at the Murray Theatre. Gladys Brockwell has delight-
