ANOTHER SPRINGFIELD SCANDAL Chiperfield Commission Has "Sensation" ReadyLitigation to Recover "Made Land" and an Appropriation is Urged Springfield, Feb. 6.Land estimated to be worth $250,000,000 has been "grabbed" from the public domain of Illinois by private interests, according to the report of the Chiperfield commission on submerged lands, which is ready for presentation to the legislature. This huge siim will be doubled, however, in the opinion of members of the commission, if the inquiry is extended to cover all navigable lakes, rivers and coast lines in the state.

Representative B. M. Chiperfield of Canton, chairman of the commission, is of the opinion that the "made land." which has been improperly taken by private corporations and concerns, can be recovered to the state. To that end the commission urges an immediate appropriation of $50,000 to be used by the attorney general to begin litigation. The report says that 1,816 acres have been taken illegally from the Lake Michigan coast between the Indiana and Wisconsin state lines.

Of this total, 1,087 acres have been taken within the Chicago' city limits. The Illinois Central railroad is charged with illegally holding 400 acres of this immensely valuable lake front land. "The achievement of the Illinois Central railroad makes the choicest depredations of Captain Kidd look like an amateur performance," says the report. Without question it has allowed commercial considerations of gain and profit in the making and selling of lands to influence its course and to direct its policy. It has not carried out the provisions of its charter and in the opinion of this committee its charter is subject to revocation." The report severely criticizes the activity of the Lincoln park board, charging that it has practically given away land valued at $1,500,000.

The Evanston club house is occupying a threeacre tract of made land. Instances of similar infractions are noted throughout the suburbs of Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Lake Forest and Fort Sheridan and on through Waukegan. The report is regarded as one of the most sensational that has ever been presented to the Illinois legislature. It is contained in 16 large volumes. The investigating committee was appointed two years ago under a Joint resolution of the house and senate of the sixth general assembly.

The report calls attention to the "amazing indifference" of the city of Chicago, which has deprived the people of a wonderful opportunity to obtain places of rest and resort and accommodations for public purposes that otherwise might easily have been theirs. BOER WAR HERO DEAD. General Piet Cronja, Picturesque Figure in Transvaal Stricken. Klerksdorp, S. Feb.

6.Piet Cronje, the distinguished general of the Boer army in the South African war, died here. He was 75 years old and had lived In retirement since his surrender to the British at Paardeberg in 1900. Cronje was one of the most picturesque figures in the war the ended in England's assimilation of the Transvaal. He conducted a brilliant campaign at the head of 10,000 men, until driven to bay by the British in overwhelming numbers under Kitchener and Roberts. In a fierce engagement with Cronje at Paardeberg, on Feb.

18, 1900, the. British casualties amounted to 1,100. Two days later, Lord Roberts demanded Cronje's surrender, but the latter refused. Cronje also declined Roberts' offer of safe conduct for the women and medical aid. On the 27th, however his supplies having been cut off and his army being reduced to 4,000 men, Cronje was finally compelled to make an unconditional surrender.

Woman whose Suggestion as Little Girl Changed Emancipator's Face For History Now Tells About the HE woman who as a child of eleven was the direct cause of Abraham Lincoln's growing a beard is still living and is now a resident of Kansas. She is Mrs. Grace Bedell Billings now, but when In 1860 she wrote the note that led President Lincoln to wear a beard for the first time she was Grace Bedell and her home was in Westfleld, N. Y. Mrs.

Billings' father was a Republican and had been a Whig prior to the formation of the Republican party, and her two brothers were Democrats. One day during the campaign of 1860 her father brought borne a poster which had on it pictures of Lincoln and Hamlin, candidate for vice presi- B.

dent, surrounded by a rail fence. Childlike, the girl told her mother that she thought Lincoln would look better with a beard. Her mother suggested that she write to Mr. Lincoln. "I remember the day very well," said Mrs, Billings recently, "but I do not recall the exact wording of my letter, though I told Mr.

Lincoln that I thought he would improve his appearance by raising a beard. I also told him that the rail fence was all right, and I agreed that if he would grow whiskers I would try to get my brothers to vote for him, although they were Democrats. I remember I said that I supposed he had little girls of his own and that they would feel as I did about those whiskers. couple of days later I got a letter from him, and I still have it among my most precious possessions. It reads this way: "Springfield, 111..

I regret the necessity of having- to say that I have no little girls, but I have three boysone seventeen, another nine and the youngest seven years oldand they, with nry wife, constitute my entire family.

As to the whiskers, having never worn any, do you not think people would consider it a piece of silly affectation if I were to begin wearing them now? LINCOLN. "In the latter part of February, 1861, Mr. Lincoln stopped, at Westfleld on his way to be inaugurated in Washington. He made a brief speech from the platform of his car, and at Its end he said, 'I have a little correspondent here, and If she Is present I'd like to speak to 'Who Is the crowd shouted. Is her "Mr.

Lincoln gave my name, and I was found on the outskirts of the throng and passed up to him. He took me by the hand and said: "'You see, I've let these whiskers grow for you, "Then he kissed me, and his train moved away. "That was the only time I ever saw Mr. Lincoln, but for several years I heard from him frequently through Mr. Seward.

After bis death Mr. Seward's secretary sent me a piece of napkin that had been bound about the president's head and that was stained with his blood."
