WOOD IS REQUESTED
TO GET OFF p. s. C.

The attempt OF the thompson le8Ieid-
ove committee to bolster up the charges
made against Edward T.. Mccall. chair
ma Of the Public Service Commission.
by forcing him TO open his private bank
account for the inspection Of the commit-
tee failed completely yesterday. Mr.. Nc
Gail refused to give his consent 10 Sena-
etor Thompson's request and the chair
man Of the legislative committee re-
ceived an additional shock when a re-
porter informed him that Gov. Whitman
had postponed the hearing on the
charges until Friday.
Gov. Whitman did not inform Senator
THOMPSON Of the postponement and he
,rned OF II definitely after he had
lied the Governors secretary on the
ng distance telephone. Mr.. McCall's
fusal to let the committee see his bank
>oks at all WAS the more disappointing
Senator Thompson. In that he had
JADE n concession from his original de-
rand, which was for tho depositors'

o date. All the Senator wanted yester-
lay was the account since 1913. The
only means Of geeting 1t now is through
An order from the Supreme Court. and 20
DO this would take four or FIVE days. No
decision was reached yesterday As to
what would De lone.
Mccall Refuses by Letter.
Mr.. McCalrs refusal came in the form
q a letter to Senator Thompson some
hours after "a stormy session. in which
the chairman Of the Public Service Com.
mission denounced the committees meth
DDS AS unfair and Indicate his clear be-
lief that Senator Thompson would stop

business there instead of to the coun-
ty recorders office
People pay tax money to get serV-
ice from the government. If the gov
eminent then gives them crooked
service, as the city police department
has done in SO many cases shown up
this last year, the people are bunk
ed. If we have tax officials who re-
fuse to cooperate with states at
torney trying to get correct assess
ments, then, too, the people get bunk
instead of service.
Many Chicago people would be per-
fectly willing to double police money
in order to get first-class, efficient po-
lice service And many real estate
men would rather see Recorder Con-
nery's Office get twice its present ap-
preparation for Office clerks rather
than see things slide back to the con-
ditions that held under former re-
corder, Abel Davis, now vice president
Chicago Title & Trust Co. at $780,
900 year.
The more customers handled by
the county recorders Office the more
money is lost to the private mo-
nopoly.
If Probate Judge Horner should
force all estates to register under the
Torrens system as provided by ILL.,.
statutes, practically every parcel of
land in Cook county would come
under the Torrens system in about Is
years and nobody would then give
red cent for a guarantee policy from
the Chicago Title & Trust Co. AS an
abstract plant, that company and its
whole equipment would be junked. 1t
would go out of commission like the ,
old hand pumps in a newly annexed
village which has installed water
pipes and connected with the Chicago
waterWorks system.

NoBoDY'S KICKING ABOUT?
BY Carl Sandburg
In some official and business circles
it's live issue now whether the Office
of County Recorder Joseph F. Con-
merry shall be investigated by the Blu
reau of Public Efficiency, following
Connery's refusal to give an open
door to Harris Keller, director of the
bureau. Circuit court judges have
set Oct. % as the day when they will
take up Connery's office and decide
how many clerks he shall be allowed
to hire the coming year. He is ask
ing 222 this year, as against 227 last
year.
Now it may be true and it may not
that County Recorder Connery has
more men on his payroll than are
needed to run that Office. It's an open
question. Nobody has shown any evil
dence one way or the other. The
main question is:
Why should collection of private
individuals having business connec-
tons with the Chicago Title & Trust
Co. direct an attack on a public Off
cial whose Office is a competitor of a
private title company and from the
standpoint of actual public service
has top notch record?
What is nightly important in this
situation is the fact that Connery's
Office is giving the people the service
they pay for. 1t would be a serious
matter if lot of kicks were coming
along that Recorder Connery is fooz-
ling with the Torrens system and
Gripping it or letting it drag as his
predecessors did. If clerks under
Connery were making mistakes in,
putting wrong figures and state
ments in their reports on title
searches and abstracts, that would be
q mess worth attention Nh oon-

VOgeFs MinStrels Entertain.

John W. VOge's Ministries were at
Turner Sunday afternoon and even
ing and are entertainers of exceptional
merit The scenery and costumes
were elaborate and the stage dressing
was most pleasing.
Tuneful solos were rendered by
various members of the company,
noteworthy among which was Mother
McCrea" by Charles Carroll, gentle
man with an exceptionally clear and
beautiful voice. So we'll did he pre-
sent his number that he had to re-
SpOnd to three encOres. Mr. Carroll
was a new member of the company,
having joined the Vogel forces last
Saturday.
Other exceptional musical numbers
were eff | Could Live to Love YOU"
by Joe LaFan, which called for three
encores, q Never Knew 1t but l Know
1t Now" by Clyde Chain, three en-
cores, and ION My Way to New Or
leans" by Bobby Gossans, four en-
cores. Another pleasing voice was
Miss Vesta Gould, whose solo work by
the only fault to find with the lady
being her apparent labored effort to
pose and to dignity, which made her
stage picture appear studied and stiff
What from Vengeance" the sex
tette from Lucia di LammermOOr, was
rendered with a truly artistic touch,
each singer possessing good voice
and having we'll in hand the work ex-
pected to make DOnizetti's master
piece real pleasure to audience,
but rather amusing incident of. the
"sextette" was that it was rendered
by seven people. Most all other at
tempts at chorus work by the company
was decidedly ragged and showed
lack of proper rehearsal direction
Bobby Gossans, Eddie Male and
Skates" Ray lived up to their estab-
lished regulations as entertainers, and
the two ladies who presented the
Scotch highland number were winsom
and graceful.

Rare Eastern Plant.

One of the rarest plants of the far
East is the "changeable rose,' whose
bloom is white in the shade and red
in the sunlight The rose grows in
Japan, Siam and China. In the dark,
or in a shaded room, the flower has a
pure wavy-white surface. But won
derful transformation occurs when the
bloom is taken from the dark to the
sunlight. First, the petals turn to a
faded blue, which at once changes to
delicate pink This hue gradually
deepens into a fiery red, so that the
rose becomes the color of the reddest
peony that ever Dloomed.
