his opinions In regard to measures In
which he Is concerned.
Mayor Thompson has appeared at
council meetings once year when bis

Codd appeared very rarely, although
he had just left the body. and Mayor
Maybury was also q rare listener.
Mayor Pingree, however. made a prac.
tice Of going right to the council and
saying his mind ON the floor OF the
chamber. This Is also the method Of
Mayor Tom L. johnson In Cleveland.
Commissioner Haarer, OF the depart
ment Of public works. is the only
executive city ofiicer who attends
every meeting. He often explains dis
puted points to the aldermen In mat
tiers pertaining to his work. Controller
Doremus. City Treasurer Koch and
Corporation Counsel Hally are also
present at most meetings.
Their presence has often been help
full and some of the aldermen believe
that the presence Of the mayor would
also help greatly.

BOARD.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.--"If any
discredit is cast on this process OF

forbidden to continue ii by the edict
OF this board. you will be guilty of
practically killing the American ex-
port trade In flour and take million
OF dollars from the value OF the wheat

This was the statement made at the
hearing before the secretary OF agri-

Wiley, Dunlap. and McCabe. by A. l..

the National Federation OF Millers,

The trouble arises from the call by

OF the food board to the millers to
defend their bleaching processes. DR..
Wiley has been conducting expert

MARSHALL, Mich, Nov. l9.-It
now appears that the first person to
discover Curtis Sampson was little
George Bossard. who was with his
father and brother at the Coleman
barn. The boy looked through the
crack in the door and said, "Oh. papa,
there's Curt Sampson hanging in
there" Not needing what he believed
was q childish fancy. he replied: "Oh,
pshaw, It's only some old clothes you
see" But the boy insisted and the
discovery followed.
Il is said that Sampson had be-
haved in a peculiar manner ever since
the death Of his father year ago,
one OF his eocentricities being the re-
fusal to take OF his clothing and GO
TO bed. II 10 stated that but few
days ago, Sampson told a neighbor
that he had not slept In a bed since
his fathers death. but had always re-
clined on o couch, for reasons prob.
ably best known 10 himself.

The proposal was made by the
Cook County Real Estate board, which
was organized largely through the ac-

This body sent to all real estate and
some other business men during the

this evening at No. ISL La Salle-st.,
at which the problem will be discuss
ed. In the call Secretary Bell says:
I'm view of the recent exposure and
others OF like nature made In recent

method should be devised to better
protect investors In real estate secur-
tiles against fraudulent practices.
This has become vital question
to all persons dealing In mortgage

business. Something must be done,

board invites you to attend meeting
