ANOTHER VICTIM OF STREET CROSSING Miss Gertrude lithe, Formerly of Glencoe, Killed in That Suburb by Car. Miss Gertrude Uthe, 4646 Woodlawn avenue, Chicago, 70 years old, was i truck by a Chicago & Northwestern train at South avenue crossing in Glencoe Wednesday of last week, suf- fering injuries from which she died a half-hour later as she was being taken to the Evanston hospital. The body was taken to the Jordan under- taking parlors, where an inquest was conducted. It is thought that the inability of Miss Uthe to hear the calls from the flagman caused her to run in front of the train. The body was hurled thirty feet. She was evidently trying to catch a southbound Milwaukee elec- tric car, which was approaching South avenue at the time the train was com- ing from the south. Miss Uthe Is widely known In Glen- coe, where she resided until recently. She was a milliner, employed for nearly thirty years with the D. B. Fisk company of Chicago. She had acquired considerable property in Glencoe and Chicago and was prom- inent in philanthropic work In tho suburban town each Christmas, For the last few months she has been mak- ing her home with her niece, Mrs. E. G. Pratt, in Chicago.

But- ler, 716 Prospect avenue, Wlnnetka, when Iris, peonies and stock were dis- cussed by the various members: The cluo* is composed of several north shore matrons who-are extreme- ly interested in their gardens. Jn fact the beauty places about their homes are their hobbles. It is an ex- clusive organization. Occasional meetings are held In the homes of the different members. The various flowers are studied and me^ods sug- gested for improvement, either in the importation of a new species or by the rearrangement of flowers. Following a short business session a visit was made to gardens at th« Butler home, at Mrs. Augustas Pea- body's home and Mrs. H. P. Caldwell's home. The prize exhibit of stock in the Peabody garden attracted.much attention and called forth much com- ment. The flower usually blooms in August, but by hothouse forcing Mrs. Peabody was able to have the Plants In bloom for the inspection./ â- â€¢ :.

She was appointed daring President Cleveland's first term and has not missed a day treat | her post since. ^ "I rather hate to leave the plae*, as I like the smell of the mail bags and the life of the office,** sl» aa*t "bat if anyone needs a rest 1 am the one which cannot be accomplished In the best way in s short time. In Poor Shape. From Foster avenue, Chicago, to Main street, Bvanston, Sheridan road is now in a passable condition, but as a boulevard it has been sadly neg- lected. From the Bvanston Golf club to Wllmette the condition is described as almost impassable, being fall of ruts and low places. On through to Kenilworth little betterment is shown in thoroughfare. The road in Hubbard Woods, Glen- coe and Ravinia was improved last year and is in fairly good condition. Continuing on to Lake Bluff and Wan- kegan, words scarcely can express the rough and almost Impassable condi- tion of the roadway In some places. The good roads bills create a de- partment to be known as the state highway department, the officers of which are to consist of members ot tbe state highway commission, the chief state highway engineer and other subordinate officers. The Duties. Included In the duties and powers of the commission are the following: Have general supervision of high- ways and bridges which are construct- ed, Improved or maintained in whole or in part by the aid of state moneys. Aid county superintendents of high- ways and town and district commis- sioners of highways in establishing of grades, preparing suitable systems of drainage and advise them as to the construction, Improvement and main- tenance of highways and bridges. Investigate and determine upon the various methods of road and bridge construction adapted to different sec- tions of the state and aa to the best methods of construction and main- tenance of highways and bridges. Aid at all times in promoting high- way improvement through the state.

A7GUENTHER Rush and Michigan Sts. Randolph 2S7S WINNETKA POLICE HEAD WILL CHASE SPEEDERS Winona Peterson, chief of police in Wlnnetka, is an envious person and all because the police in other North Shore villages and cities are reaping a harvest just now in running down automobile speeders and securing good ones for their respective mu- nicipalities. After considerable argu- ment pro and con, the village council In Wlnnetka has decided to purchase a fast motorcycle for Chief Peterson, and soon he will be on the watch for the "speed kings." Two or three trips have been made to Chicago by Officer Peterson to se- lect his machine, but he has not yet been able to locate one which has power to develop a high notch speed. It is said that some reckless autoists pass through Wifnnetka sometimes so fast that it is impossible to make out their license numbers. Officer Peter- son wants to get a machine which will make enough speed to apprehend this class of auto speed violators.
