Here also is evidence that the road officials of -- neighboring counties, notably Du Page and Lake, are failing to grasp the needs of] their communities. The --Tribune editorial in regard to Lake and DuPage counties not being properly recognized in road building by the state follows: Lake and DuPage Neglected Another Meeting Scheduled Within the next feew weeks an-- cther meeting will be held in Chi-- cago, at which officials of Lake, McHenry, DuPage, Boone, Kendall and Will counties will be invited and road plans for the counties outside of Cook county made. There is every reason to believe that Gov-- ernor Small and members. of the state highway department will give Lake county every posible considera-- tion in building of roads at this sociation. This meeting was held in Chicago and attended by Gover-- nor Len Small, other state officials, county and city officials, and civic leaders of Cook county. Mr. Lobdell states that the Chi-- ago Tribune is apparently basing its editorial on plans made a few days ago at a meeting sponsored by the Chicago Regional Planning as-- Lake county is being negletted this year in the matter of road improve-- ments, according to an -- editorial Wednesday in the Chicago Tribune, which states that neither I;a.ke r;:r Du county is getting from the statePag:e sharg of pubng improve-- ments which the needs of those counties and the contributions of Lake county, it is claimed, is yet-- ting only a superhighway connection and Du Page county but a mile and a half of wide road out of state funds.

L the motorists DENY COUNTY HIGHWAY LOSS cated that he will recommend the minimum sentence, 14 years in pris-- on, in view of the age of the pris-- oner. The authoritiee say that there is no question but that Coleman will live only a few years in prison. Thus, if Coleman agrees to plead guilty in return for the minimum sentence, the authorities say it would be better to do so rather than to make a court fight. i Coleman was indicted for the mur-- der of Morrison back in 1915 and the old case has been reinstated in the Circuit court. Albert Coleman, broth-- er of John, and Jimmy Cousins were tried for the murder of Morrison and acquitted, They were with John Cole-- man at the time. -- John Coleman, 63 Years Old, To Receive Minimum Sen-- tence In Prison Because Of Advanced Age. Coleman was arrested in Fullerton, Cal., on drunk and vagrancy charges. While serving a sentence of 12 days, he boasted about murdering an offi-- cer and after a long grilling, told in detail about the crime. . . While in the Pullerton jail, Cole-- man tried twice to commit suicide. He was taken to a hospital and kept in a straight jacket for several days.

Edwards and to receive a sentence of 14 years in Joliet --peni-- tentiary, the minimum -- punishment for murder. * Three -- detectives employed by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Company conferred with Sheriff Doolittle Tuesday: af-- ternoon and said the company would be satisfied if John Coleman is ai-- lowed to plead guilty to a charge of manslaughter, rather than murder, because of circumstances connected with the case. Thus it is possible that Coleman may get a peniten tiary sentence of from one year to life. The detectives favor taking Coleman to Rondout to have him re-- enact the crime before witnesses. Coleman is charged with slaying Thomas Morrison, a special officer on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, at Rondout, in 1915. He made a full confession of his guilt to Sheriff Lawrence A.
