Springfield, ILL.,, Dec, 24.--Goycr-

ton raised that the appointments

Grmaticn by the senate.
Members OF the commission will

Governor said tonight, after he had
recc' cd a copy OF .ae opinion of
Attorney General Lucey to the Of

be legal.
rhc opinion says that while the
first paragraph of the utilities acts
states that the commissioners shall
be appointed with the consent and
approval of the senate, second pro-
vision, that the Governor may make
appointments during the vacation
of lac legislature, covers the pres

BUSIEST HOLIDAY SEASON
IN HISTORY OF CITY
Early Shopping Movement Extended
Holiday Purchases Over
Longer Period.

Observations aud inquiries maGS
the past several days Of Cairo re-
tail merchants, are to the effect
that this has been the most prosper
ous holiday season in their business
career. All three banks y0uohsavc
for the truth of these statements
the best evidence offered in veriiict-
ton being noticeable in the constant
daily Withdrawals of money by de-
,po.i tors bent on purchasing hoii
day gifts and the subsequent de
posits of the same money, spent over
the merchants counters by custo-
ncrs.
The trade this season was extend
cd over a greater and longer period
of time, due to the agitation III
favor Of the carly shopping spirit.
That the early movement worked
TO the advantage Of the merchants is
found in the fact that shoppers
having made early purchases had
more time for thought which in
cyitably resulted IN additional pur-
chases cntailing a vast greater ex-
penditurc of money. many OF the
gircrs far cNeeaaF < fheg auUunt
which they had contemplated ex-
pending this season
In this connection, il cairo would.
III violation of the ordinary banking
rules observed in metropolitan cities
base its bank elearings upon every
item handled similar to several cit.
les, the bank cicarinGs would cas-
lily total weekly approximately
$3,500,000. this amount being a
very conservative estimate II is re-
ported that the business Of the grain
men OF Cairo averages daily all The
way from $4,000 to S75;900 at one
Cairo Lank. Then there is the lum-
ber industry to be added, this item
being something hat is enormous.
AS evidence of the business trans
acted locally BY the lumber firms,
the loss of $500 in shocks by the
Iron Mountain porter several days
ago is offered. This $500 repre-
sented tho bills paid for freight in
one day to this road alone The
other roads far exceed this amount
in daily lumber freight bills.
AS another evidence that Cairo
is the busiest city of twice or three
times its size will be apparent when
it is said that Cairo ranks sixth in
the published list in uank clearings
in the state OF Illinois. only being
exceeded by chicago, Peoria,
Springfield. East st. Louis and De
catur. And there are Bloomington.
Quincy, Rock Island, Joliet, Belle
vile, Kankakce, Rockford, Moline
and Streator, any of which possesses
a greater population than Cairo yet

comes TO the volume Of business
transacted.

occasioned.

derstood yesterday at the city hall that
Percy Benners and Burr had been re-
tained by the waterworks company 10 as

peeted to wage. The water company al

ACTION IN BODEKER
CASE NEXT TUESDAY
Judge Lane Will Announce
His Recommendations
Next Week

Commissioners A. o. Lane yesterday an
nounced that his recommendations in the
suspension of Chief of Police George II.
Bodeker would be communicated to the
commission one week from today. He
added that he intended to make recon- :
nendations as he felt that such was a
strict duty of his own.
IT have never shirked a duty or re-
sponsibility in my life.' said Judge Lane
yesterday when the thought occurred to
him that perhaps some believed he would
allow Mr.. Weatherly and Mr. Exum to
handle the Bodeker case. 'And do not
intend to shirk this one.
II shall make recommendations. I be-
lieve my associates on the commission
will follow those recommendations Mr..
Exum will be here at the time There
is one thing assured and that is r shall
sense of justice. Nothing else of what
ever character shall swerve me from that
1t is obviously plain that if were to
intimate my action In this case, however,
way 1t may go the police force would
be to a certain extent impaired and tina.
will and must be avoided"
Other than the expression of Judge
Lane there were no new Developments
in the Bodeker suspension. The office
of Judge Lane has been besieged by
prominent citizens in behalf of Chief
Rodeker while the petitions have been
exceedingly numerous and strong.

TO ASK PERMANENT
LOCATION FOR CAMP
Anti Tuberculosis AssOcia-
ton to Renew Request
to Commission

The antl-tuberculosis association will
this morning request the commission to
donate a portion OF Red mountain park
for permanent camp for the cure OF
tuberculosis With DIR. George Eaves,
the secretary there Will be many per-
sons who are Interested in the propo-
sition. Opposed TO the movement there
Will also be a delegation before the
commission.
DR.. Eaves says that the camp now
| occupies part of the city property
and a part of the Globe Mining com
pany land. lie affirms that in order
to make the work of the society render
the greatest service to this community
there must be some permanent ar
rangements made. FOR that reason the
request which was refused last year by
the commission will be made again
by the nti-tuberculosis association.
Commissioners james Weatherly said
yesterday that the society would come
before the commissioners with Pres
ident Exum opposed to the plan, but
he wanted to hear all the information
possible on the request. on that ac-
count Mr.. Weatherly welcomes all that
may throw light upon the subject
The camp on Red mountain is not
far removed from the homes of some
residents and also near some new real
ty projects. The interests owning prop
erty thereabouts Will light the plan
as well as others.
From what can be gathered the COM
missioners regret the fact that they
must again hear the controversy which
engendered so much trouble last year.
However the commissioners say they
can do nothing less than to give those
who appear a careful hearing.
