Judging by popular sentiment as
expressed on the streets Assembly,
man ii. G. Sclurmcier has got himself
into 10 little uncnviHblc notoripty. to
say the least by his rather untimcly
and ill-advised discussion of the suit
brought by George Il. Lennon against
him. I'll" result of Mr. Sclllrnlcir's
talk has been to ''put the matter up
to him." and to relieve Mr.. Lennon
of any responsibility for doing any
explaining. There seems to be no
doubt that the grand jury will ask
Mr.. Schumacher to clucdatc and
amplify his condolences. Public Opin-
him. The result of Mr.. Schurmeier's
as IL city official, acted with a lack of
discretion, to say the least Mr..
Schumacher undoubtedly spoke hastily,
without due consideration to his
words, and did not mean all that he
said. Mr.. Lemons suit was brought
openly and in the regular course of
such procedure without any stir or any
reflection upon Mr.. Schumacher. Mr..
Lennon loaned $500 to Mr.. Sclur-
meier for use in a business venture
and brought suit to collect on the
prOmissOry note given him by Mr..
Schumacher. 1t was with Mr.. Len
non purely II matter of business.
There was also 81 bill for S147 for
goods sold TO Mr.. Schumacher. Mr..
Schumacher declared that Mr.. Len
non had agreed not to demand the re-
payment of the money until some time
hence and that the sudden action to
recover was dictated by Mr.. Lemons
"soreness" over Mr.. Sclurmeier's fail
ure to pledge himself to vote for the
repeal of the owl car ordinance. This
Mr.. Lennon denies absolutely and says
that the transaction was purely bust
ness matter.
