CHICAGO, Feb. 28.—Chicago's two ribbons of lake front super- highway, eventually to run nearly 30 'miles for the length of the city, are to be united in the loop district by a mile of pavement 140 feet wide, to cost $10,000,000. ‘This outer drive improvement, which is expected to-alleviate by 50,000 cars a day Michigan ave nye's present traffic burden, will provide- a non-stop boulevard for 15 miles and eliminate much of the present crush of traffic in the down-town area. ‘The north-south movement of the ernment to private owners of lake front properties. Miles of cars, 73,000 vehicles a day, now are forced to use Michi- gan avenue from Ohio to Randolph streets because of the lack of | continnous lake front boulevard. Work on the new road to bridge this gap between the morth and south lake front drives is expectad to begin this spring. When completed, this strip will make Chicago's outer drive system probably the longest lake front highway of any city in the world. From end to end it will wind through an almost continuous ser- connection between the North Shore drive and the South Park boulevard system.

Green (M{) fit{uple Superintendent of the eonflict cver the law including ‘habitual crumm.l law. LANSING, Mich, Feb. 28—The subject of much public comment, both favorable and adverse, Michi- an's crime code with its habitual ‘eriminal - clause has become the vehicle of some sharp words on the flpor of the state legislature, Fred W. Green ahd' the Rev. R. N. Holsaple, su- perintbndent of the state anti-Sa loon league. Governor Green and the admin- idtration forces in the legislature are determined that th> habitual erimina! claure shall be modified 80 that' the possession of '‘a pint of gin shail not be oclassified as a felony, for which upon a fourth ebnviction a man or woman must ? sent to prison for life. Mr. olsaple, on the other hand, is exerting every etfort to have vio- lations of the prohibition lafv- re- tained as one of the felonies to be counted in; prosecutions under tI‘e habitual criminal act. The legislature now has before it ‘amendments that will strike dore than 200 offemses from the dist of felonies now includedl in the habitual section by providing that 4 fourth conviction must be for a crimé demanding a maximum pen-. alty of not less than five years for the first offense, if a life sen- tence is to be imposed. “The bootlegger and the moon- Pshiner,” says Mr. Holsaple, “with| a supreme contempt for the law, mot only corrupt society, but leave their victims or patrons in weak- ened and poisoned condition. They | are potential murderers.” Voicing his determination to have the habitual section of the law amended, Governor ‘Green said that some members of the legisla- ture have complained they did not ’reluze liquor law violations were ! ‘included in the blanket description -of felonies contained in the code. “|f there was such a misunde: standing it should be corrected he said.
