F urther particulars regarding the tragic death ot Mr. and Mrs. David Strough near Valparaiso, Indiana, re­cently were gleaned from the Val­paraiso Messenger. )

The Strough fmlly, including Mr. and Mrs. Strough, and son, Benja­min, and daughter Margery, 12 and 14 years old, were motoring home from Valparaiso to near Hebron over icy roads during a rain and fog While deccnding a hill the car, with Mr. Strough at the wheel either skid­ded or the steering gear went wrong. The car left the truck, crashed into a stone abutm ent of a bridge and telescoped ten feet onto the ice of a stream. The young lady,was thrown clear of the car and escaped with few injuries. The ice broke and ttie car plunged thru, pinioning Mr. and Mrs. Strough and the young man under the car in the w ater. The young lady waded into the icy water and sue-

The hard road over the Corn Belt tra il from Peoria east to the state line will be completed before cold weather arrives next fall. It is all under contract* and work will s ta -t at various points along the route just as soon as the weather will permit.The contract from Forrest east to the Livingston county line and from Gil­man to Watsnka has been let. The road from the east line of Livingston county to Gilman will be built bv the state . Work on all of the hard road west of Falrbury to Peoria will go'under way as soon as possible, prep- ceeded in pulling her brother’s head aiatfons being made now to haudlo above the water but could not release the material.

The Shanks & Gannon Construc­tion Company, of W atseka, which has secured the contract to build the

, Corn Belt cement road from Forrest th ru ' Chatsworth to the Ford county line is getting ready to begin woik.

A representative of the company was In Chatsworth Friday looking the ground over and Tuesday two gentlemen were here looking for places to live this summer. One of the gentlemen, who has a wife and child, rented the Hoach fram e build­ing formerly occupied by a millinery store and said he had orders to get located so preliminary work on tac paving could begin.

Chatsworth, according to present plans is to Be used as a distributing point and headquarters for the workmen. Work will bo started on each end of the nine-mile strip anu completed toward Chatsworth. It will require most of the summ er to complete the work and the fact that Chatsworth is to be headquarters means that a crew of 80 to 100 men will spend considerable money In the town.

We Ought to “Dig”O ut of the Mud

Every unpaved street in every cen­tral Illinofs town was a foot deep in mud and grime this week and paving could be appreciated as never be­fore.

Chalsw orth’s business section is well cared for but we need more to pull us out of the mud and onto Progress street.

We realize tha t when paving is mentioned it is like waving a red rag before a bull to some people never- the 'ess a few blocks more paving wou 1 make n world of difference to C hauw ortn in every way. Now that the Corn Belt tra il is th ru the village a t least Second and Third streets ought to be paved from the T. P. W. tracks sout.'i to the Corn Belt to connect thp business s tree t with the new road. I-oetist s tree t needs paving badly from Third stree t west one block to the Illinois Central depot. Fifth stree t should be paved front the Catholic church properly soutli lo the present pave­ment, a distance of 4J blocks; 4tt s tree t from llie Corn Belt one Mod; to the Methodist church corner and Third street, two blocks to the Evan­gelical church and that would put paved streetB to every church lit town. It could be done cheaper if built while the Corn Belt is being paved thru town and as it takes tim e to do these things The Plain dealer offers the above for consideration.

TOURNEY IS NOW IN FULL SWING

Chatsworth Basketball Team Goes in Contest at Pontiac

Greatly HandicappedConsiderable Interest at the pres

ent lime is being shown In the bas- kotball tournam ent which is now in progress at the county seat.

Pontiac Township High School is entertaining the district tournam ent. Perhaps as some of you are rending this the Chatsworth team may b? contending with the Pontiac aggre­gation lor they are scheduled to lock horns a l H :10 tonight.

Locally the Chatsworth team has not been very much appreciated but all opponents linve learned to give tiu m duo respect and to be decidedly thankful if they came out of the game with a victory. A lot of hard luck In the county tournam ent and a resu It ing* poor allowing did not keep oilier folks from recognizing that Chatsworth had a good team. A Falrbury paper has the following to saj' in Its last week's issue: "Also the team that hails from Chatsworth must not bo overlooked. This team caino to the county tourney here somewhat off form and were not successful in reaching the finals; only last week they recovered from their slump shown In the County meet and won from the "w onder" five of Cropsey by a score of 22 to 19. Well we all remember tha t this wonder five came here and took the locals Into camp by a score of 12-9 Bince tha t time. We see from this dope that the winner of the coining tourney will be hard to pick, but Eureka. Chatsworth and Falrbury have the odds In their favor lit Class A.”

W hile this statem ent is very com­plim entary and much appreciated it was w ritten without having a t nanti the facts about what has transpired since. Since the Cropsey game the local five has had no game and nr prnctlce a t all for one week on ac­c o u n t ol the “Contact Q uarantine”. Last week the attendance was dis­rupted by the extremely bad roadr a n d as a ll but one of the squad live In the c o u n try there were n o t enough re g u la rs o u t for a good scrimmage. J o h n R u p p e l, one of the h a rd e s t and u n t ir in g floor w o rk e rs on tho loca l sq u a d w ill n o t be a b le to p lay on ac­c o u n t o f illn ess .

Piper Cityans W ant theCom Belt Route Changed

Another effort is to be made to have Route No. 8 (Corn Belt) changed to pass through l’iper City, and more interest and united action mark this movement than have been shown a t any time before. Petitions are being circulated, a mass meeting was held at the Ford garage build ing and other stepe will be taken to bring the m atter before fhe proper authorities. The proposed change Is to have the road turn north at the Keef*e corner, on the west side of town, proceed th e n c e fo r th to the T. P. & W. railroad, thence east along the railroad and on Peoria Avenue in Ibis city to the corporation limits, thence smith In the road as now surveyed. I t Is thought that this change can be made without any extra expense, or even a t a saving, the difference in the am ount of hau l­ing more than offsetting any other expense which may be incurred by the state. As a t present routed the business Interests of P iper City feel that the road will not give them the reasonable connection with other towns and the business benefits to which the city is entitled, and it Is to be hoped that the road building authorities can be brought io see the m atter in the same light.— Piper City Journal.

Scarlet Fever.We all hope that the Scarlet fever

epidemic will leave Chataworth soon. Last week there wan an average of forty-one on the m orning’s roll call, whi'o this week It has Increased about 50 per cent.

The students have been examined abo"t every day by The county nurse. Miss Kmetz, as a percaulion against the dibcuse.

We hope that ail who are now be­ing kept in will be able to return to school hy next week.

A Word From JapanOn Wednesday morning, February

seventh, the students and faculty of C. T H. S. were entertained by a native of Japan. His talk was In- str e-tive as well as entertaining. Al­though his accent was broken, he made himself clearly understood, by the wuv jlt, llge(j iijs hands.

It* impressed it strongly upon our mini:- 'li i' although the people of his countrj. considered the United State3 tin lost -centry In the world, ho was proud to mention there were six way. and habits of the Americans that the Japanese had not acquired. The first Japanese do not shake hamis. as an acknowledgement of acqt'uitiinnce, instead, they bow to nach other. Second: They never “kb.* there was a time known when a Japanese m other never kissed hei baby, he added a few words to this by Baying there was too much kiss.n t in this country (of course n*. lul l i mean this as an Insult to km. i . a ’s people). Third: there are no sw eethearts” in Japan. Fourth : Janaaese never chew tobacco and tt was a mystery to him as to what It was when he came to the United Stales and saw the men of this coun­try • pitting tobacco Juice. He ar­rived io the conclusion that they ate molasses and some getting too niucn took this means of getting rid of the surplus. F ifth: the girls of his couu- try never chew gum. Ho gave a very clever illustration of the Ameri­can girl chewing guin, as he saw her. Sixth: of all (he people In Japan, not a person ever swore (I been wonder­ing ever since what they say when sou ethtng aggravates them .) He also mentioned as the seventh; the Japanese read up and down while the people of th is country read aerers. proving to us their way of reading was the trotter of the two. because when they read they shake theij heads "m eaning yes” thuH showing they believed what they rend, while we shake our heads meaning “no." Ho shewed us tlr* d ro n and shoes of the Japanese. Ho nad one beautiful silk dress worn hy a woman of Japan, this was a silk not often seen in (his country.

H< explained tha t the people of his country appreciated things of finer art more than American’ peo­ple. telling us lie did not mean this as an insult, but a small child of Japan gloried to wntch the sunset and the things of nature, while chil­dren of this, country world much rather .**<•. a good moving picture show He revealed their taste of finer irrt by a wonderful piece of nerdle work made hy a Japanese girt

At ihe close of his lecture he shoved som e beautiful art pictures of J i an. which were foe sale ar.d a number of them were purchased by tne nuden ts of the high school.

Lincoln Essay ContestSometime ago the Seniors were

very busy writing essays about Ab­

raham Lincoln. It was a contest for high school seniors all over the state; but there whs a winner from each class. The essays were sent out of town for the choosing of the best. They are back but as Miss Holby Is under quarantine we won't get the news until she comes back to school. The w riter of the best essay gets a bronze medal with a picture of Lincoln on one side and on the re­verse Bide is the date of when and how won. The medal may be Been a t M orath's Jewelry store. Watch at a la ter date for publication of winner.

“A Little Competition”The Senior class is having quite

a tune making newspapers. The class is divided into two sections and of course each section is work­ing hard lo see which one can pub­lish the best paper. They can’t tell you very much yet, bu t— watch the next “T atler” and you will see Ihe outcome.

there were no new families placed under quarantine during past week for scarlet fever, a ltho a few new cases tiave developed in families where the fever existed before.

All patients are reported as re­covering nicely and none are seriouv ly ill. Most of (he patients have been confined to their bed hut a short time. Mibs Helen Holby, one of the first patients, was removed to the Chatsworth hospital last week and is doing nicely. The McCulloch home, where site was making her home, wiii-n she became ill, has been released from quarantine and no other members of the family con­tracted the fever.

And. Hie by file, the springbuck fol­lowed them, the tawny bodies plunging into the void until the pressure was

As the compact ranks of the spring­buck scattered. Win ton drove his horse up the precipice. At the edge he dismounted, ami, thrusting his aruia through the reius, he looked o\ er.

A vast brown stain upon the rocks below was all that marked the grave of Du vis and his enemy. And over­head, winging their way through the blue sky in solitary file, the vultures dropl>ed to their festi\al.

Sick with horror, Winton went hack to the village, lie saw Sheila stand­ing beside the crouch.eg woman at the lire, l ie leiheivd liis horse to a tree and went up to her. She paid no attention t«* him, but looked at her imaher h \«dh .

With his reception, Winton’s second purpose, of g.ving warning concerning the native unrest, went out of his. head. Malopo had. indeed, been pre- pared for an outbreak fi»r some time past, ami rumors of all sorts were cu rren t ; it was m>t pndiahle that any action would have been taken on the story, wliich would, furthermore, hnve led to Sheila’s examination. On the whole, when he remembered Ids Japse, Winton <liil not regret it.

He saw the ji Ig»* grasp at Heaton and half pull him from his saddle. Seaton acreamed and tore himself free. Then the flood of the spring­buck swept In between them and drove them along, not ten pace* apart, but isolated and helplefls in the living stream.!

said Winton with conviction.But the yells increased again, and

there came another rush for the iloor. Winton opened It suddenly and dis­charged his revolver. Screams fol­lowed and a panicky retreat. He bolt­ed It again and recharged the weapon.

A s|K'iir came upward through the open window, glanced olT the angle funned by the wall and roof, and dropped flat at Sam's feet. Winton fired out Into the Iduck faces massed beneath. Another scurry followed and two more natives writhed on the ground.

The mine Imyg had discarded the trappings of semirlvlllzutlon. The ob­sequious diggers tool become native warriors, dressed for the most part In loincloths alone. Their rolling eyes and painted faces gave them a dia­bolical aspect.

They were s t an Immense disadvan­tage, fo r It w as Impossible to hurl a spear within the narrow passage, though one could be used for thrust­ing with deadly effect. But first the thruster would have to assume a prone position, and Winton knew tlmt his revolver would lim e thus several sec­onds' s tart of (he spear.

He waited, hardly breathing, until there came to Ills ears, very faintly, the touch of bare feet upon tlie ground, followed by tlie suppressed breathing of a titan not far away.

One of the negroes was evidently at the bottom of the excavation, hut the excavation Immediately beneath the safe was wider than the tunnel

; angle of soft earth afforded shelter. The man—or tueu—might therefore he out of the direct line of tire. Winton drew a match softly from his pocket and struck It suddenly along the side of his revolver butt. The little flaring light revealed the white eyeballs and peering face of one of the su n g es . not a dozen feet distant. Another face was looking over the shoulder. Everything above wus deathly still.

The man's arm was drawn Imck, the spear, with a murderous slum I blade, held ready to thrust. Winti si tired |H<lnt-blnnk Into the open mouth.

T h e mutch went out simultaneously with the discharge. There followed a choking cry and the sound of blood bubbling from the throat. An out- hurst of yells from above rolled Iti a hideous echo along the tunnel. The second savage turned and began scrambling hack like a tpole, Imt Win ton tired again and heard the shuffling stop, as If the bullet had I....a Instan­taneously fatal. A shower of earth came rattling down.

And now the faint, reflect.>d flare thnt calm* Into the tutin.i, mid the roaring from above t. Id W inton tljat the cottage was ablaze. The sounds of shouting grew fainter. The negroes must have been dri ieu out by lire. Winton raised the body of the man nearest him and set Ii in the tunnel In such a way tha t it formed an ob­stacle to anyone approaching from the rear. He wotfld hear the sound of Its dlslmlgment If the attack were renewed.

Ilut the savages had hail enough of the tunuel. Winton loaded his re­volver with hlR last handful of cur- tridge* and began scrambling after Stun, calling in a low tone.

He heard Sum's distant answer, and made his way hr fast ns lie could along the tunnel. Would the natives hewaiting a t the other end? They could make tlie distance ubove ground more swiftly than they could. Bui Winton doubted whether their minds would work In that manner, with plunder to he had In every .compound store along the diamond ridge. He was right in hla presumption, for presently he saw Sam and Sheila silhouetted against the faint light at the other end of tlie tunnel.

Illinois C entral System Is Encouraged to See Busi-0

ness Men Stand Up for Railroads

The Illinois Central System is pleased to not-- the unanim ity with which the business men or the country art* rallying to the defense of the nation 's system ol railway transportation. Typical of this authoritative and unbiased support of sound public policy is the following extract from a res­olution adopted January 29. 1924. by the New O rl-ans Association of Commerce and sent to the United States senators and representatives In Congress from Louisiana:

i" In the opinion of the New Orleans Association of Commerce it is unwise and unnecessary for

Congress at this time to undertake by direct action to reduce substantially the revenues of the ra il­roads— because of these am ong other consideraions:

"The In tersta te Commerce Commission, an im partial governmental body, already has full power to fix what shall he considered a fair return to the railroads upoi the value of their property, to fix this value and to fix all railway rates, and ii is equipped to make such adjustm ents in rates as may be proper.

"The Transportation Act, whose definite policy of rate-m aking revived confidence in railway securities, has enabled the railroads to borrow more readily sums of private capital for improve­ments in both equipment and roadway. These have made possible the recent record breaking achievements of the railroads in service and are responsible in great m easure for the country 's Increased business.

"To reverse our railway policy now would be to frighten off capital, stop improvements, un­settle business condilions and work a public injury with no corresponding benefit, since, as staled, the public is already protected by the laws which give the In tersta te Commerce Commission full control of this subject.”

The more that the public in general realizes IIr direct and indirect financial interest in a settled, forw ard looking policy of rntlway regulation, the neurer will this country come to hav­ing a railway plant that will expand and Increase its efficiency in keeping with the development of the country. We cannot afford to stand still, much less go backward, in our treatm ent of the railroads. I t Is encouraging to note how business men a n d 'th e country In general are showing increased interest in railway affairs.

Since both efficient rnilwny service and the great Investm ent in this and wffier railroads are at slake, we believe that our patrons would feel that we were neglectful of our duty if we did not seek in every proper way to enlist public Interest in the future of the railroads. For this reason we quote and indorse the resolution sponsored by the New Orleans Association of Commerce.

Constructive critism "find suggestions are invited.

Governor Small Has Made a Good Record and is En­

titled to R e n o m i n a t i o nChicago Evening American

The OPEN argument made against GOVERNOR LEN SMALL by his enemies is turned on the ancient "interest charges." The SECRET reas.on for the opposition to Governor Small, we believe, ;s because he refuses to obey the profiteering. utility and otljci p edatoty corporations of the state. The opposition, undoubtedly m oved by a : ili-h and sinister reason which could not stand the light of publicity, harks back to the old

ir. totes; charge, covering events in 1917 and 1918, when the governor was state treas­urer.

it was oa this old charge that Governor Lett Small was indicted in 1921 and it is significant that he was indicted about a fortnight after he had vetoed A ttorney General13 run dage : swcden appropriation.

At that time thi; newspaper (the Chic n o Evenin' ment was due to CONTEMPTIBLE POLITICS.

American) declared that that indict-I *

File people of lll.iiois heard the charges rv-’.de by Mr. Small s political enemies and de­nied b- him (Hiring the campaign (gubernatorial campaign of 1920). The people, after healing the cnarres of the crime alleged to have r. cn committed two years previous, elected Mr. Small as governor by a substantial majo. :ty. . Vo public official attem pted to indict Governor Small until recently, after he had done certain acts antagonistic to his political ene­mies. t

"The proceedings, therefore, to my mind, h dicate that thi' is a POLITICAL INDICT - MEN1 brought for the purpose of futhering political ends and for the purpose of punishing or humiliating a political enemy."

DEVELOPMENTS HAVE DEMONSTRATED TH A T THESE CONCLUSIONS REACHED BY l . \ GOVERNOR DUNNE AND OTHER DISINTERESTED PERSONS AT I I IE TIME W ERE CORRECT.

After hearing all the evidence in the erse. a jury of twelve men Judge Claire C. Edwards in Waukegan quickly brought in a verdict of:

"NOT GUILTY."

the cc*i-t of

That wrote, (or reputable, fair minded persons. "FINIS" to that case, to all those old charges— wrote it a t decisively and finally as it is possible to record a conclusion under American form of government. EVEN A GOVERNOR is entitled to all that a verdict of acquittal means and implies.

The fact that the venomous ar.ti-SMALL crowd^keep harking back to the old charges, despite the verdict of acquittal and vindication. at|d attem pt to rear their campaign case against the governor on the ruins of the overthrown and repudiated charges. is the best evidence that Governor Len Small has made a fine record as governor. They can find little or nothing to criticizes in his record of over three years a» chief executive of Illinois— so they keep digging into the past, poking about in a Deriod long before he was elected governor.

In Illinois' great and impressive forum. T - state wide DIRECT PRIMARY, G over­nor Small should b e judged on his record as governor.

What is that record?

1 .He has constructed over 2.000 miles of standard state hard roads. W ITHOUT ONE CENT f ROM DIRECT TAXATION, la-t year, breaking all known world records by

over 1.000 miles. This year he expects avai" 1° pass the i.OOO-mile record. He built the roads at an average of $27,000 a mile, that being $13,000 a mile less than the price that prevailed, and was demanded, when he took office, making a grand total saving of $2 5, 000.000 to the pe, >le. And that stupendous load building work has been carried on without suggestion. suspicion or taint of scandal or official wrong-doing or careless­ness. It is a constructive record without equal in this or any other state.

12 G overnor Sm alls Illinois Commerce Co amission, which succeeded the old State U til -

• ities Commission, which had INCREAS ED utility charged generally and substantially throughout Illinois, has REDUCED gas. s tre .t car. electric light and power and telephone rates to points which mark A TOTAL SAViNG EACH YEAR OF OVER $2 5,000,000 to iitilitv patrons. Had not ceitain reductions been enjoined by the courts the saving would be much greater.

He recommended, fought for and signed the Illinois Scrv ice Compensation act. under which a total bonus of $5 5,000,000 is now being distributed to the men and women of

Illinois who served in the W orld War.3.4 Elis departm ent of health has so reduce ! the death rale that it is

6 He has constructed at Marseilles the first great lock of the Illinois waterway, one of# the biggest locks in the world, and is pushing the waterway rapidly to completion__

a completion which will be followed by substantial reductions in the cost of coal salt lumber and other products of large bulk.

7 His sympathetic, progressive and scient fic administration of the state charitable and a penal institutions has given better care and accommodations to the 30.000 depend

ents of the state than ever before in the history of Illinois, and MORE THAN A SCORE OF NEW BUILDINGS have oeen constructed in his term — hospitals, infirmaries, dining halls, laboratories, etc.

8 Because he has kept down state taxes, save for the slight increase necessary for the. SOLDIERS' BONUS.

Because of these and other great* achievements, of a constructive and progressive nature, in the interest of the people and the upbuilding of the state and its institutions - THE CHICAGO EVENING AMERICAN endorses Governor Len Small for re n o m in S n !

Opposed to him for the Republican nomination is a very young slate senator of good education and personal reputation, but with no constructive record of consequence with practically no experience as an executive and with a record in the Senate of having voted against permitting Chicagoans to express themselves on a referendum on the* pro­positions of public ownership and a five-cent fare, and who votedAGAINST GOOD ROADS. and FOUGHT
