BICHLORIDE OF MERCURY
The sixth woman in Chicago to
take bichloride of mercury with sui
cidal intent since the case of the

She gave her name as Mrs. Olive

was arrested some weeks ago for

when her husband was locked up he
asked her to buy some bichlOride of
mercury tablets for him, which she
did, but discovering that they were
poison and believing he meant to
commit suicide, she kept them. She
claims that having the mercury in
her possession gave her the desire to

: George c. Skies, former ~ Mime
apolis newspaper man, now secretary
of the Bureau of Public Efficiency Of
Chicago, was in Minneapolis this week
and conferred with members Of the
public utilities committee appointed
to fight against the state control of
public utilities. The committee met
Mr.. Skies at luncheon at the, West
hotel, and he told them of the recent
contest in the illinois legislature. 80
Sentiment in the city Of Chicago is
very strong against the bill passed in
our state;'' said Mr.. Skies. I'VE had
fully expected Governor Dunno to
veto the bill. but some Of his advisers
seemed overcome by the sight of five
appointments to be made on the COM
mission, at $4,000 a year and he
signed it. I predict that the question
will be an issue in our state, and that
the bill will be repealed, It is re-
vokable measure, unlike the one pro-
posed in Minnesota. It does not have
the indeterminate permit feature. and
thus our hands are not tied for the
future. Neither does it deprive mu-
inequalities of control Of municipality
owned utilities. Our bill as origin
ally drawn, exempted cities of 10000
from state control, but this exemption
was stricken out in conference on the
last day of the session.
I'VE do not want state control for
Chicago, where we have been making
good presress in handling our public
utilities. We have q good city council,
elected by campaign mainly on the
utility question, and it. that ia taken
away it will weaken the council and
the cause Of good government in Chi
cago."3 .f2.-. ;..s.z~ III sz--. =. Ill
