Reed also admitted that fér sev-- eral days before the explosion which killed Plager, he was going about the community asking people if they knew where he could "get some dyn-- amite to blast out some tree trunks." He denied that he planted the bomb in the Plager automobile. His attorney will appeal on the grounds that the state did not prove that Reed planted the explosive.

WHY CHICACO DID NOT PAY THE RAILROADS TO COME HERE you know that, in the early days of railroading, many cities desiring railroad. transportation found it necessary to help pay the cost of bringing in railroad facilities? It is a significant fact that Chicago paid practically nothing to attract the railroads! The railroad builgers realized that Chicago formed the logical hub for rail transportation. They brought their tracks here voluntarily. The reasons are clear--cut and easily understood. Chicago offered a strategic, central loca-- tion. . . easy of access ... free from moun-- tain oarriers Chicago was recognized as a natural economic cen-- ter, in the very heart of America's richest agricultural region --a region also abounding in valuable mineral resources. Chicago represented the ideal meeting place for rail and water. These very things which attracted the railroads have played a vital part in Chicago's miraculous growth. And added to these naturegiven advan-- tages we now enjoy the good fortune of possessing rail facilities unequalled by any other city in the world!

An important decision was made in King Count% Superior Court in the State of Washingtorn recently, when the court held that the streets and alleys could not be uséed for greasing and servicing motor cars, according to a bulletin issued by &flm, General Counsel for The Automobile Club of Illinois. A test--case was brought before the court in which a motorist was charg-- ed with greasing cars on the street.
