CHICAGO, Aug. A-Trouble is apparent

has been done in the department. of hOrti-
culture and liberal arts. When the COM
missiOners ask what has caused the delay
they will be told that the directors have
rejected three men in succession who were
nominated for chief of horticulture, and
the fourth nomination. John n. Samuels,
of Kentucky, has been hung mp until
the directors determine whether it will be
safe to reject him also. The local board Is
understood to have declared that it will
