Report of TFensuFeF General.
An interesting feature Of the proceed
ings was the report of Mrs NJ. Z. 5
Davis. treasurer. general of the society
of the statements given out regarding
the investments of d. A R. funds wer
not true. She denied ever stating tha
investment in Chicago and Alton bond
would yield nothing for the next twent
years. She said the statement had bee
made by a member of the society. VIII
quoted Edward II. Hartman as sayin
that he sold out just before the drop il
Chicago and Alton stocks. 1t is understood
that the Daughters have no intention O
selling their interests since there was
decline.
