Suit to Keep Elevated Road Out and May Order Appeal Before June 28. A» the culmination of a friendship formed at the time she wu taken from the deck of the sinking Lady Elgin on the night of Sept 10, 1801, off the shore of Wlnnetka, Mrs. Mar- garet Cralne of 2248 Seminary avenue, Chicago, is making an appeal to con- gress for the man* who rescued her, James Sherlock; 86 years old, o! Win- I'netka. Mrs. Cratae - claims Sherlock is one of the few unhonored heroes of that terrible catastrophe. After he swam to shore with Mrs. Cralne, it is Mid, he returned to the stranded snip at least thirty times, each time re- turning with some man in his then strong arms. < Now An invalid. â- Sherlock was crippled as a result of his strenuous endeavors in the ice- cold waters and since that time has been an invalid. Throughout the ln- ! tervening years Mrs. Cralne has watched over him and at several times has nursed him hack to health.

On the night of Sept. 19, 1861. [theLady Elgin departed from Chicago tor Milwaukee with a number of pas- sengers. A great storm was raging, and when off the shore of Wlnnetka, to the dark, the ship was rammed and |«mk by the steamer Augusta. Heroic Action. The scenes that followed Immediate- ly after the wreck were dramatic and marked with heroism. A number of students of Garrett Biblical Institute, hearing of the distress of the wrecked ship, rushed to the scene and carried off many persons from the wrecked vessel. : &£,„..., ......^__________ ;£ North Shore villages are becoming a mecca for the "movie" actors and the film camera operator, especially Village TrUSteeS Again DiSCUSS in moving pictures, where high- -. . _. . _ class residence settings are de- sired.

As Is customary, the "movie actors',' were forced to work under handicap because of the curiosity of many of the children and grown-ups who were anxious to see the scenario staged be- fore the camera. They probably will be given another opportunity to watch the actors on the first bright day, as the rain and cloudiness caused the actors to stop late Monday after- noon before the film was finished. Another feature of the work of the moving picture actors in traveling to the suburban towns, is that they are forced to wear their make-up because no time is to be taken- in the villages after the Journey Is made to stop for this important part of the actor's art On the suburban trains these funny looking folk are- the cynosure of all eyes and many ate the remarks made by the passengers, concerning their peculiar style of dress,, peculiar facial decorations, etc. START DANDELION WAN IN WILMETTE Householders and cltlsens in gen- eral in Wilmette have started a dande- lion war and the yards and lawns of the pretty suburban homes are sys- tematically being cleared of the ob- noxious weed. It Is said by older residents of the village that the growth of the dandelion this year is greater than in any season for years. As an instance, the yard about the city building is practically carpeted with the yellow blossoms. It Is prob- able that the women who have start- ed the war will urge that the town officials clean the city yard of the growth.

Jackson to have the. evi- dence in the recent ease decided against the village of Wilmette writ- ten up that an appeal can be taken to the Appellate court Following tho drastic action of the elevated com- pany i in laying tracks across an alley between two days, the trustees are de- termined not to let the corporation ride roughshod over the mandates of the village officials. Sixty days are allowed from April 28, when the order was entered In the Circuit court of Cook county by Judge Petit against the village of Wilmette in the injunction suit for an appeal to be taken. While the trustees did not sanction an appeal, they took the first step In their determination to carry the case to the higher courts by the action Tuesday night. The session was the first of the new village council. Trustees Herbert C Arms, Dr. W. J. Montgomery and Jo- seph Heinsen assumed their duties like veterans. They entered into all the discussions and asked to be "shown" on village matters which they dU not.clea*ly.rUiMler»tan(S<*Th« attendance of citizens in the meeting taxed the seating capacity of the coun ell chambers, many being forced to stand in the hallway. Ask Quarantine Measure. Probably the next important item in the initial session of the new board of trustees was the consideration of a petition submitted by the Woman's club of Wilmette asking that a health commissioner be named that a more strict enforcement of quarantine of contagious diseases might be effected. The petition was signed by 622 citi- zens of the village and was sponsored by Mrs. Alvln J. Buts of the Woman's club. The petition was referred to the public service' committee. Upon application of J. H. Long for a license to conduct a moving picture show in the building adjoining the Wilmette poetoffice action was taken which points to a new ordinance be- ing drafted governing such places of amusement President John D. Couf fer explained to the trustees that sev era! applications for such places had been made in the last few yearB. Upon a motion President Coulter appointed a special committee to draft an ordi- nance which would provide that safety measures be followed In conducting a "movie" theater. This committee is composed of Trustees English, Arms, Heinsen and President Conifer. Station Permit Refused. In face of the opposition, plans for the proposed $12,000 elevated station were submitted to the trustees and an appeal made that a permit be granted. Upon motion of Trustee J. F. Stone the permit was refused while litiga- tion was pending. Father Netstretter of St Joseph's church near Grose Point appeared be- fore the trustees, asking permission for a tapping of the Wilmette sewers for the new academy building in that section. The matter was referred to Villagers Appreciate tages of Institution Now Kept In Town Hall Rooms. 4* Much interest Is feeing shown Just now in the Glenoofe Free Public li- brary. Since the institution has been located on the sseotsd floor of the town hall building, in quarters large enough to accommodate the; patrons, a steady Increase In the number ot volumes be- ing circulated is being noted. A total bf 2,600 Volumes are now on the shelves of the library. The average circulation Is about 800 books a month, which Is a large number when It is considered that the library is open only four days a week and within a limit of four hours on each day. %T'.-' The free public library was opened in the Glenooe school annex In Jan* nary, 1910. The Interest taken by the young persona of the village grew with leaps and bounds until last sum- mer It was found necessary, because of the .heavy patronage, to move to larger Quarters. features ot Equipment The rooms on the second floor of the town building, which were then being used tor storage purposes, were offered by the village trustees. The sum of 11,000 was raised by popular subscription and other methods, and the new quarters fitted up In a satis- factory manner. New shelving, five new reading tobies and a splendid in- verted lighting system are features of the equipment now in place. The rooms are decorated so that the best light possible Js reflected for the pa- trans of .the reading room. - A special saaessmiiht of about one- half mlU is levied for the maintenance of the Uhrary.
