Approval of the Illinois project wa« given in consequence of a coniproml?r between Chicago and Illinois interest; on the one hand and opponents of diversion of water .from Lake Michigan on the other. This compromise entailed insertion (to the bill of r. clause which says: "Providing that nothing in this act shall be construed as authorizing any diversion of water from Lake Michigan.*^ •• :• >*. ' • The senate action, according to Sen afcor Deneen. Republican of Illinois, removed the last obstacle to completion of the development work, on the lower Illinois river as a link in the Lakes-bo-Gulf waterway. The situation in regard to the water diversion controversy will, however, be ltft as before. Passage of the bill will not affect'ttTcase. 23 Die When Steamer Sinks Copenhagen. -- The Norwegian steamer Balholm sunk off Iceland. Twenty-three lives were lost.

SENDS PRISONER HOME TO WIFE AND CHILDREN Judge Allen Tempers Justice With Mercy In Deciding First Criminal Case "I charge yon now to lead the life of a good hudband and father, make of yourself a good citizen and take the part in the community life of the county that every real man should take- Ton have promised to do this and the court will await the fulfillment of this promise." With this charge to the prisoner before him, County Judge Charles T. Allen sentenced Otto Kley of Cary to one day in jail, following a plea of guilty to the charge of driving an automobile while intoxicated. It was Judge Allen's maiden criminal case in the county court. The defendant had already been a prisoner in the county Jail for five weeks, awaiting trial. On the last day before County Judge Charles P. Barnes went out of office his case was called for trial. He informed the court that' he had no money to employ an attorney. Judge Barnes appointed Attorney Floyd E. Bckert. to defend Kley. Attorney Eckert took charge of the case and upon his advice a tentative plea of not guilty was entered, and a continuance of the case was asked and granted, in order that Mr. Eckert might study the merits of the oase and determine what defense his client might plead. The case was again called up last Friday, this time before a new judge. Mr. Eckert then advised his client to plead guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court State's Attorney Alford H. Pouse, was ready for trial, but with the plea of guilty, upon the request of Attorney Eckert the defendant was examined to show circumstances in mitigation of the sentence about to be imposed on him. The facts were brought ont that Kley had already served fire weeks in Jail before being brought to trail, that he has a wife and children and that he had done eo damage to person or property. He promised that in the ftiture he would abstain from the use of intoxicants and would return to his home at Cary as soon as released and conscientiously strive' to support his wife and children. Following the state's attorney's recommendation, the court sentenced him to one more day in jail, and delivered the charge to the prisoner which is quoted at the beginning of this article. In closing his charge to the prisoner, Judfee Allen added an alternate, in case Kley fails to make good on his promise: 'You have promised to do this, the court will await the fulfillment of this promise. If then you are brought back here again you will have an opportunity to get very well acquainted with our jail authorities." On Saturday Kley was released from jail and returned to his home qnd family in Cary. ;THE LINKS REFEREE; ! -- { | interpretations of the Rules $ ! of Coif { By INNIS BROWH J (Momagint M4Uer, The Aurtoaw * >«««%««!! Gtolfer) What are the rules with reference to a player's turning in a wrong score in the medal qualifying round of a tournament f Just tchat ere the player's responsibilities in seeing thai the right score is returned f If a player turns In a score smaller than that actually made, the player Is disqualified. Once the score Is posted, It cannot be changed. If a score larger than the one actually made is turned In, It must remain as posted, but the player 'sufgws no' tensity otherwise. The player Is responsible for seeing that the correct score for each hole is entered on his card. He Is not responsible for the addition. This matter Is up to the tournament officials or their agents, and where an error in totaling up the score by holes occurs. It Is permissible to rectify this If It Is later discovered. It may also be added that the presence of an official scorer does not relieve the response blllty on the part of the player tq «ee that his score Is properly set down bole for hole on the card.

Yet during this period more important improvements were incorporated than in any year in Dodge Brothers history. Advances were made in engineering and body designs. The cars possess a greater degree of smoothness, silence and ease. They are more comfortable, more beautiful. „ . Current prices--made possible, of course, by , constantly mounting sales--are therefore not an obvious measure of value. Prices, in fact, have never told the full story of Dodge # Brothers dependability and basic worth.
