PITCHED BATTLE
IN STREETERVILLE
Police Charge Squatters' Place and
Lemolisn Joint After Big
Tight
NOBODY KILLED IN MELEE
CHICAGO, Nov. 14. "mreetervtlle" was
Invaded, its ruler captured and its
citadel demolished today after a pistol
battle on fllled-ln-land on the shores of
Lake Michigan, almost In the heart of
Chicago.
The land, which is claimed by Captain
George Wellington Btreeter, is north of
the harbor and in. the- center of the
fashionable lake shore residence district.
Btreeter and his wife came there years
ago when the'r vessel was wreckd on a
bar. The sand filled In between the
wreck and the ahore until their claim
comprised property aald to be worth
millions of dollars.
While the city has never admitted
Streeter's title, many nurchasera have
j preferred to make a settlement with him
to ohlvate the possibility of his ques
tioning in court their right to purchases,
j Ptreeter called the new-made land "The
T nlted Ptates District of Lake Mlehl
gan," and has refused to recoanlse anv
I authority but that of the United States
i and has defied for weeks Mayor Thomp
' son's Sunday saloon closing order,
j Since the Sunday closing order. It is
eaid, Streeter has done a thriving business
in bottled beer. His shack, which he
vnriHienea Tno Oasis." was but a short
distance from Lake Shore drive and easily
accessible to automobile parties.
He was often summoned to court and
numeroufl cases for selling liquor with
out a license are pending. Last week' a
Jury found him guilty on one charge, but
he took an appeal.
The main force of Invaders, consisting
Of thirty-five nnllrompn mn
wagons, an amublance and reinforce
ments from the fire department, was sent
today to a point within call, but Just out
of range of observation. Eight detectives
were sent to reconnolter. They found a
room with a number of patrons, and,
'after being eerved, one of them walked
to the door and lifted his hat to a scout
from the invaders.
: Down the street the patrol wasrons and
hoKplta! corps got into motion and de
scended upon the building. Captain
Streeter, heating the commotion seized
a putol, and according to the police,
fired, but was overpowered by the detect
ives who were within the room. BevurM
shots then came from adjolnlnir bulld-
, lngs, the police say, and In answering a
; rifle fire from the home of John Hoist,
jone of Streeter's tenants, the police are
believed to have injured Mrs. Hoist, but
not seriously,
After the battle the fire department
j demolished the building, where 192 cases
:or Deer, six rules, four revolvers and
i three boxes of ammunition had been con
fiscated.
Streeter, his wife and fifteen others
were arrested.
Charges of assault with Intent to kill,
violation of the atate liquor law and of
keeping a disorderly house were placed
against Btreeter. Most of the other were
I charged with being Inmates of a dleor
I derly house. All were released on bond.
I A number of years ago while Btreeter
I and several men In his employ were de-
fending the Streeter home against the
j police in a similar attack, a police of
ficial was shot and killed. Streeter and
an employe served a term In the peni
tentiary for that shooting.
Oil October 11 Mrs. Streeter shot and
wounded a policeman who had arrested
her husband on a charge of selling beer
without a license.
Streeter's title to lots In the district
are estimated to have netted him as much
as SlOO.ooo. At one time a syndicate of
capitalists Is said to have Invested M 000
I ntltles.
The highest courts have held that the
submerged lanls lying along th shore
of th lake belong to the state.

POOL AND REED DO NOT AGREE
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 14. (Spe
cial.) The filing of the name of
Charles E. Hughes of New York to
go on the republican primary ballot
as a candidate for the presidency de
spite Judge Hughes' declaration that
he Is not a candidate has brought
about a complication similar to that
when a bunch ot democrats filed the
name of William J. Bryan with the
secretary of state of Nebraska as a
candidate for the democratic nom
ination for the presidency In 1911.
The petition filed yesterday is
peculiar In Us resdlng as indicating
that the petitioners had little hope
of being able to draw the judge into
the contest. The explanation accom
panying the petition reads: .
nesort ta ConscHplloa.
"W have riled Justice Hughes' name
hsolulely without his knowledge. We
fully realise that, so far as he Is con
cerned, he Is not and will not become a
presidential csndldate, and that he is
opposed to any consideration of his nam
In that connection. Notwithstanding his
well known attitude, and while regret
ting the necessity of disregarding his
wishes, w ar abidingly convinced that
the welfare of th nation, in Its brosdest
sense, demands th drafting of Its high
est and most available talent to lead
In the approaching contest for th tri
umph of republican principle and In our
opinion Justice Hughes I pre-eminently
the man, snd further, that th emer
gency demands a resort to conscription."
Mallery Gives View.
Senator Karl D. Mallery of Alliance,
on of the signer to the petition In the
city today, said In response to a ques
tion: "We simply put It up to Judge Hughes.
W recognised the fact that he would
not give hla consent to having his name
used and that he would not. become an
active candidate for th republican nomi
nation and so w took this step to find
out Just bow th Judge stood. It is. now
up to him. If he does not Withdraw his
nam . t will be evidence that h will
accept a nomination If tendered him and
os the whole matter Is up to him."
Whether the matter Is In the hands of
Judge Hughes is a question to be de-
,d"d of Jtat. Pool. whU.
la a nnaltlnN wIbSiI HAW Vaa St SI An
not in a position right now to pass on
the question and desiring more time to
look Into it. Secretary of State Foot la
inclined to the opinion that Judge
HiiKhes may be the only man who can
withdraw the Detltlon.
Petitioner I.aek night.
He does not think that the petitioners
themselves have the authority to with-
draw It certiiinly not unless every man
who signed th petition should request
Its withdrawal. However, he expect to
look up that point and bo ready for the
emergency should It arts.
On the other band Attorney General
need takes the off-hand view that Judge
Hughes has no right to withdraw th
petition. He has not had tlmo to look
into the matter fully, but on a short
glance at the statutes h Intimates that
I tho only way nam c,r b wth-
drawn is for Judg Hughes to author!
. Injunction proceeding to keep his name
of f the primary ballot. Ho also thinks
that possibly should enough of the
sinners of tho original petition withdraw
their namoa within the time limit so
that It would not have the
number. It might invalidate the petition

PLACEAS DEITY
Japanese Emperor Offers Feast of
Sacred Rice to Spirits of
Ancestors.
CHIEF RITE OF CORONATION
KIOTO, Nov. 14, Tonight, alone, un
een and unheard, in primitive hut of
thatch and reed, Bmporor Yoshihlto of
fertd a feast of sacred rice to th spirits
of his ancestors and to th deities of
heaven and earth, and then himself par
took of th sacred food. . Many Japanese
regard this ceremony as the culminating
and chief rite of all, since through it the
emperor receives the confirmation of his
hereditary right to deification.
In Japanese the ceremony la called
"Daljoeal," which translated Implies,
"urand Harvest, or Thanksgiving Fes
tival." The ceremony proper was pre
ceded by many preliminaries, including
that of yesterday, when prayers were of
fered for the longevity of the imperial
house, and the sending this morning of
imperial messengers to each of the 172
shrines throughout the empire to notify
the spirits of the Imperial ancestor that
the grand hsrvest festival was about to
begin.
Still another preliminary held In the
morning waa the offering of food before
the Imperial sanctuary In the 8hunkoden
hall of the Kioto palace. A chamberlain
and a mald-of-honor represented tha em
peror and empress In ancient costume.
Spirits lavlted. t
Prior, also, to the festival proper was
held a ceremonial dedicated to inviting
th spirit of the deities of heaven and
earth to come to their respective shrine
in tha Palio halls. These two shrines,
the Tukl dedicated to the deities of
heaven, and th Sukl to those of earth,
wer first purified and then decorated.
Several hundred military and naval of-
fleers of distinction, peers and other
dignitaries assembled at the waiting hall.
All were attired In full ceremonial dress,
the Japaneso women wearing the ancient
court robes.
The crown prince, princes and prln-
cesses of the blood and other members
of the imperial family then entered the
pavilion temporarily built for their re
ception. Presently the emperor came In,
followed by his retinue. The guard of
honor, consisting of picked offlcera and
men from the bodyguard troops, were
arrayed outside the rrlnin gates of the
; shrines. A score of coronstlon officials
proceeded to the torll or Shinto gates at
the four sldea of the grounds and took
their posts as the guard of honor.
t Wear Ceremonial Drrsa.
They wore the elegant ceremonial dress
of ancient courtiers. It consisted of a
: short robe of light blue color, an unllned
garment, a bx.se tunic with a long trsln,
1 a sleeveless undergarment, a pair of
inner trousers, a pair of outer trousers
and a Jeweled belt; a sword with a broad
, girdle; a flat quiver with arrows; a how;
; a pair of shallow shoes, and a con
: secrated surplice. On their hesds the
' guards wore a coronet with a pennant
! of silk guaxe colled at tha back. A
j dozen officials in similar costume took
I their posts on the right and left of th
I torli, computing a fascinating plctur of
ancient Japan.
On a stand were placed aacred ahoes
of pur gold brocade and bedding with
, aacred clothes thereon made of pur raw
I silk thread. On small eight-legged tables
wer bamboo basket containing th
I aacred vestments of ellk , and ootton.

shrines of Heaven and Earth and pre
pared th seats for tha reception of ths

not regarded here as a definite step
toward fulfilling a secret compact
