Parcel Post Branch
Open Near Terminal

incoming parcels post mail is being

office of its crowded condition. The
building, located at Nos. 46 and 48

probably will be used until Atlanta

“Adler Bros,
for you, costs
you bn! fwo”
CHICAGO, Dec. 5.—A difficult le
gal problem was brought before the
authorities of the State of Illinois and
Cook County to-day in the case of
Joshua Tedford, who seven years ago
was sentenced to the penitentiary for
from one to five years. Tedford did
not serve his sentence because a
Criminal Court cierk placed a copy
of the mandate of the State Supreme
Court in a pigeonhole of his desk
where it has remained until to-day.
Meanwhile Joshua Tedford has
made good. He quit his job as a po
liceman, after being convicted of ail
ing in the disappearance of Mabel
Lewis, a State’s witness in the case
against a man charged with burg
lary. He went to work in a large
clothing store, and to-day he is su
perintendent of the place.
A young lawyer, whose client was
convicted and sentenced, was respon
sible for bringing the Tedford case
to the notice of Chief Justice Olson,
of the Municipal Court. He remarked
in a speech to the court that his
client had no “pull” like the one Josh
Tedford had when he was sentenced
to prison seven years ago.
The court ordered an investigation
and the pigeonholed Supreme Court
decision upholding the sentence of the
lower court was found.
An effort was started to-day to get
Governor Dunne to issue a pardon for
Tedford.

On the question of waterpower,over
which a shurp^flght was waged in the
committee room, the report is non
committal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 Creation
of a Department of Public Works

the best means to obtain a compar

approval of Congressional legislation

in coastwise trade, were among the
leading recommendations to-day of
the resolutions committee of the tenth
annual Rivers and Harbors Congress.

ied in the Newlands bill. It marks
the turning point in the policy of the
organization. While the resoliftions

NECESSITY — Vacuum
cleaning is a necessity to
modern good housekeeping.
If it is not a sin, it is at
least foolish to stir up the
dangerous dust to be
breathed into the lungs,
and to settle on furniture
and furnishings, and finally
back into the woven floor
coverings. “Dust to dust re-
turneth” is not applicable to
good housekeeping.
