THE EVENING NEW YORK JOINS FIGHT ON CHICAGO Six States Charge lllegal Di-1{ version of Great Lakes Water by City. State of New !ork yesterday formal- 1y instituted actlon to prevent diver- sion of water from the Great Lakes- 8t. Lawrence waterway. Jolning with five other States, New York, through Attorney General Ot- tinger, filed at Washington a suit against the sanitary district of Chi- cago and the State of Illinois to en- Join diversion. The United ,States Supreme Court last week gave per- mission for the suit. The complaint points out that the sanitary district has reversed the flow of the Chicago River into the Missis- sippl River, abstracting by this means from 8,000 to 10,000 cubic feet of water per second from the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway. City Called Deflant. “The action of Chicago,” General Ottinger said, ‘prevents a case of a municipality in open de- flance of law wilfully ting the rights of the Great L: States. The commerce on our great inlal oceans is in the neighborhood of 125,- 000,000 tons per year, exclusive of the Canadian coast trade. The re- cent report of the engineers of the United States Army states that benefit to the Nation in direc ings is at least $125,000,000 per ¥ “This same engineers’ report mates that the loss on this \mount caused by the diversion at Chicago is about $325,000 per vear for each thou- sand cubic fest per second diverted. Power Phase Argued. “Chicago took the water purely to save fitself, at the expense of the Great Lakes States, the cost of in- stalling modern sanitary sewage dis- posal works. The first use of any waterway is for sanitary purposes, but it is the recognized rule of law that at the end of such use the water must be returned to the watershed. “The sanitary district of Chicago also claims that by means of this di- version power is generated. Aside from the illegality of an abstraction of water for such use, the same water, if permitted to flow in its natural course to the sea over the falls of Niagara and down the rapids of the 8t. Lawrence would produce many times the power that can be obtained in the vicinity of Chicago.” FAMILIES TRADE SONS.

Special Dispatch to The Star. PHILADELPHIA, October 19.— Howard Paul Savage, former lleuten- ant in the Overseas Army, following his election as national commander of the American Legion, summed up his program of action for the coming year in one sentence. Here it is: “New life and zeal in every phase of the work of the American Legion, making it cne of the strongest forces in the civic and peace-time activities of the Nation, and waging relentless warfare upon pacifists and unpre- paredness propaganda.’” Standing 6 feet, muscular and brawny, and possessed of a clear and ringing voice, Comdr. Savage is described as_‘“‘the boy that got the bonus for the Legion members in Illinois.” “Now, I am going to give a lot of attention next year to caring for the children of our soldiers who died in France or who are confined in our hospitals,” he said. “My wife thinks I should do that. We have been mar- ried 16 years, but we have no children. and for that very reason we both feel that we should do all we can for these children who have been deprived of their fathers and of the oppor- tunity their fathers could have given them if they had lived.” Aims at 1,000,000 Members. | “We are going to find suituble homes for these orphans, and give every one of them a man’s and a woman’s chance in life.” Commander Savage said he hopfld to put the membership mark of the American Legion at 1,000,000 before the ship set sail for Paris next Octo- ber. The membership is now almost three-quarters -of a million. “Our work is in the civic upbuild- ing and betterment of our Nation,” he said. “‘Our aim is to make Amer- ica a better place in which to live. “I want the American Legion to keep out of politics, and I shall bend my full energies while I am at the —— ask tor Horlicks: The ORIGINAL Malted Milk The Hecht Co. im- ports Men's neckwear from France.

We are all buddies still and we are not going to forget or overlook any one of our number who needs our assistance.” Tells of .Diamond Days. Savage was asked about his base ball experience, as one of his Chicago ' friends had whispered that he had once pitched for the Chicago Cubs. “Huh, that's a good one on me,” chuckled. “Yes, after I left Lewis Institute I signed up with the Cubs and pitched a few exh: I was rotten. Then the out to the Colorado Spring: the Western League. It w: before they got on to me. a regular job.” He admitted, with a half wistful look in his blue-gray eyes, that he has given up base ball entirely. “I'm 42 now and my arm's gone back on me,” he explained, swinging his huge southpaw. *No, I don’t even £a) golf well.

Mr. Savage has a typical raflroad man's face, rugged, tweather-beaten and genial. His halir is turning white, but his complexion is ruddy and his | eyes twinkle. | During the war he was a first lieu-] | tenant in the 55th Engineers. He served in France from July, 1918, to July, 1919. He is known throughout Legion circles as a ‘“‘go-getter’” and for the kindly bluntness that charac- terizes his speech. He has climbed slowly. through the ranks of the Legion. Hé was organ- izer and temporary commander of the Elevated Post 184 of Chicago, consist- ing chiefly of men employed in the elevated system there. He was made commander of the post, vice chairman and then chairman of the Cooke Coun- ty Council, senior vice commander and then commander of the Department of Tllinois and then a member of the national _executive committee. He married Mary E. Kelly of Chicago 17 years ago. PRSI RUMORED SALE DENIED. Fairbanks Co. Not Bought by Gen- eral Motors, Manager Says.
