While District Sealer of Weights and
Measures Haskelrs fight is at present
centered around the ice men who have
been detected by his inspectors of sell
ing short weight ice customers, there
can be no doubt that the real issue
at stake is to maintain honest weights

larly opportune when the public mind

protect the public against sharp and il

Recommendation of Stead.
The opinion is quite lengthy, and
gives in detail the situation and condi
tions here that led u pto the applica
ton for the requiSitiOn. Mr.. Stead, in
concluding his statement, gives the

tanned by the decree of the circuit
court The grand jury of Rock Island

now in confinement on an order of the

bling the Ottumwa baseball team re-
ceived yesterday at the hands of the
Burlington Pathfinders can be directly
traced to the action of Pitcher Roy Con
verse. Yesterday was the day Con
verse had been scheduled to pitch his
last game in league ball. as he was in
tending to go to Woodstock. ILL.,, and to
work for the Oliver Typewriter com
pany. Instead of doing as he agreed,
however, he drew his pay and skipped
late in the afternoon; so late that no
man was prepared to go into the box,
and just to fill the slab Clayton was put
in to save the regulars arms. The &C
ton of Converse was wholly unlocked
for, especially so as he knew the OF
tumwa team is already in such Grip
pied condition. Negotiations are now
in progress for new men to fill the va
cancies.
