When the duke slipped away on the

said they would desire converse with his

hat and a green overcoat which made
him conspicuous to everybody on the

called: Hey, duke!" His grace hurried
to his stateroom and locked the door,
and the ship sailed a few minutes later.

said, for duty.

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE WILLING TO LET

In spite of all the political reform
talk that attended the granting of
equal suffrage the 'poor-downtrod-
den" corporations appear to still
possess their strangle-hold on some
off1ceholders.
Yesterday ten aldermen, members
of the council committee on gas, oil
and electric light, did their darndest
to hand the Automatic over to the
Chicago Telephone Co. for $4,000
900, even though Aid. Charles E.
Merriam told them that from the
present outlook the city had a claim
on the Automatic because the Auto
matte people did not fulfill the terms
OF their franchise.

that the public would have to pay,

When the proposed merger talk

for $6,300,000. They announce that
