NEWSAM GIVES UP PLACE
Head of State Mining Board Compel
ed to ResIQn

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 5.-After nearly
II years of service as a member of the
state mining board, for a consider
able portion of that time as it's presi-
dent, Richard Newsam of this city has
forwarded to Governor Deneen his
resignation, to take effect at the pleas
ure of the governor. This letter was
forwarded to the governor on Thurs
day and it was with extreme regret
that Mr.. Newsam dictated the lines
that marked his severance with the
work he has so long been associated
with. 1t was only the fact that he is a
seriously sick man that led him to
send in his resignation.
At his home last night Thomas
Newsam, son of the president, said
that his fathers health has been
such for some time that he knew he
could not continue as head of the
state board. Mr.. Newsam was said
