New York, Sept. 2.—Old fashioned sandwichman publicity has been chosen by Dr. Rozert Grimshaw, effi- ciency engineer and faculty member, of New York university, for an attack on the high cost of groceries in the Washington Heights section of this city. Dr. Grimshaw served notice that grocers: would have to cut their prices or hear from him. Quotations remaining virtually unchanged, the doctor's bilfboarded sandwish men paraded throughout Washington Height’s. main thoroughfares and market sections heralding the whole- sale prices for garden truck showing a wide margin below’ retail costs. Washington Height’s housewives | generally have noted the Grimshaw ; sandwich men ahd their messa: jana “everybody is talking about it Now York, it is estimated, is short 102,170 apartments, to house more than 400,000 people, most of whom Ask Legion to Help in Attack on Chicago Skyscraper Dis- trict; Old Fight Opened Chicago, Sept. 2.--"Streete: the ‘Deest: of Lake Michigan,” a of Chicago's famous “Gold ” is about to be the scene of the ville,” in | thousand and first battle in its history, according to notice served on United States Marshal Bradley by Captain George Wellington Streeter, 80-year- old claimant to a $50,000,000 portion of the exclusive Lake Shore Drive sec- tion. The Reasons “Cap” Streeter and Niles, one time “military and commanding gen of the army of the “deestrict,” having notified the federal authorities that they a to again try to enforce their Streeterville is y state in the union, have invited the Americ: gion to them and set the date for the opening uf hostilities as Sep- tember 6. A letter to the Legion posts, 2 copy of which was also sent to Marshal Bradley, invites former sol- diers to “meet me at the foot of Super- ior street in uniform, armed and car- rying a flag, and help to end by force of arms the treasonable acts of judges or stand up against a wall before a firing squad.” A postscript invites the legionaires to bring their lunch. Captain Streeter has been fighting since 1886 to establish his claim to one of the most valuable sections of Chicago’s lake front. In that year his steamer, the Reutan, stranded on the bank during a storm. Captain Street- er buift a breakwater about the strand- ed boat, 450 feet off shore, and made it his home. The rapidly shifting sands filled in the space between boat and shore and added 193 acres to the city’s area. To this land Captain Streeter laid claim, and in the next quarter of a century battles by the hundreds were fought in an effort to oust him. William H. y governor” . Fort Attacked On one occasion 500 police heseiged Streeterville. “General” Niles , pro- claimed himself “military governor of the district of Lake ichigan” and with 50 men of his “escort” erected breastworks surmounted wire and stood’ off the police for sev- eral days, before desertions in the ranks so weakened the defending force that a lone policeman finally executed a flank attack and carried the fort. The courts of 1915 ruled that Street- er had no title to the property and his brick castle, which had succeeded the steamboat home, was wrecked by deputy sheriffs and then burned. In 1902 Streeter and two friends were convicted of manslaughter in connection with the death of John S. Kirke, killed in one of the frequent assaults on the tle. All were sen- tenced to life imprisonment, but after a few months were release Courts Decide Against “Cap The site of the “deestrict” is now covered by more than a dozen sky- scraper apartment buildings’ and ho- tels.

D. ‘the state in order that their occu- pancy may not be interfered with by the 80-year-old fire-eating veteran. Streeter’s claim is based on the contention that the act creating the state of Illinois fixed the “meander line” of the lake as the boundary, and that therefore his “deestrict” was out- side the state and owed allegiance to no one except the United States. The courts held, however, that Illinois ex- tended to the center of Lake Michigan, that all land created by natural se- cretions. of the lake belonged to the adjoining property owners; and that all land credted artificially belonged to the state. The stranding of Street- er’s steamship created land artificially, it was held. "CROP SUMMARY > ‘ - mA Weather and crop summary for the week ending August 31, 1920. Washington, D. C., Sept. 1—Season- able to rather cool weather prevailed over most sections east of the Rocky Mountains, but it was very hot during the first part of the week over the northwestern Great Plains, and gen- erally cool west of the Rockies. The rainfall was mostly light to moderate, although rather heavy in parts of the South. Sunshine was deficient in many eastern districts. Corn made mostly satisfactory prog- ress and was materially benefited by rain over the Northwestern States. Higher temperature and more sun- shine is badly needed to hasten matur- ity. The progress of the crop was mostly satisfactory in Iowa, but the condition is below normal. The weath- er favorably affected the crop in Mis- souri and fairly good progress was re- ported over the Great Plains States and the Ohio Valley. The grain harvest is nearing com- pletion’ and threshing made satisfac- tory advancement where not complet- ed, except for a few temporary delays on account of rain. There was some further, damage to grain in shock in Eastern localities. The weather was favorable for buckwheat over the Lake Region and the Northwestern States, while pota- toes and truck crops are mostly doing well. “Pastures and ranges continued generally in satisfactory condition, al- though rain is needed in parts of the Southwest and the Northern Great Plains. Fall plowing. made satisfac- tory progress with favorable soil con- dition.
