non wants to know how in the name
of justice and decency the three ap-
praisers could hammer this down to
$322,56O.
The school board leases the land at
5 per cent of the valuation fixed The
lower valuation the more the school
children and teachers of Chicago
have taken away from them.
The bill tells how Holdom, Straus
and Winston at first adopted the
$403,20 figure of the Chicago Real
Estate Board land then, without
facts or information -. through
wrongful, injurious, mistaken inter-
probation d. F.. they arbitrarily de-
based and reduced the value of said
lot to 1922, $50"
1t is then stated that Holdom,
Stratus and Winston ''misconceiVed
their duties" and "acted under preju-
dice in the interests of and as the
agents of said lessees instead of act
ing as impartial and discreet ap-
praisers."
. The accusation that Holdem,
Straus and Winston worked fraud
is nailed home in this tense passage:
''They not only have made mis-
takes in their rights, but have been
guilty of such gross violations of their
duties as appraisers as to have, in
both law and fact, worked a fraud
upon your orators, and by reason of
all the foregoing the appraisment is
invalid and should be set aside and
held for naught"

school children and teachers OF Chi
cago through fraud appraisal of
school land is alleged in bill fled
In circuit court yesterday by Angus
Roy Shannon, school board attorney.
Every once in a while Shannon
makes a move which shows he is not
gagged and shackled by the Loeb
Rothman Big Business majority of
the board of education.
When Shannon has a fighting
chance and hasn't got his hands tied
by specific orders from the board of
education, then Shannon stands up
and drives big fist.
That's what he did yesterday when
he filed a bill in circuit court to stop
a fraud in law and fraud in fact
committed, the bill alleges, by three
men-Jesse Holdom, Simon W.
Straus and Bertram Winston.
The Tribune didn't print line to-
day about this court action. The
Herald took it as news and ran a
column on it. =.
The bill asks the court to set aside
an appraisal of school land at 6 S.
State St More suits on other loca-
tons are to come School board ap-
praisers ten years ago fixed the value
at $360,000. This year it was fixed
at $322.560. The job of appraising
was done by Jesse Holdom, now Cir
cult Judge; Simon w. Straus, money
lender and president of the American
Society for the Promotion of Thrift,
and Bertram Winston, a brother of
the Winston whose name leads the
firm of corporation attorneys, Win
ston, Payne, Strawn & Shaw.
Against the claim of these three
appraisers that the land has slumped
in value, Shannon sets the claim that
Chicago downtown land is worth
more today than ten years ago and
the lot at S., State st. should be
valued at $582,800.

TOOK COUNTY PRIZES

At the annual meeting of the Con- nectiCut PomOlogicaI society at Hart ford on Wednesday. where a display Was made of New London county ap- pies in competition for prizes offered by the Norwich Board Of Trade, the first prize of s was awarded to Sena- tor W. I. Allyn of Ledyard and the second prize of $3 to Frank $. Wheeler of Norwich Town. The prizes were offered for the best display of five varieties.
 The principal address of the morning session was by Secretary Wilfred Wheeler of the Massachusetts state board of agriculture. He spoke upon the subject Of Proposed Legislation Af- fecting the New England Fruit Grow CTS. w. H. Conant of Buckfeld, Me. and A. c. King of Truemansville, \. Y.. spoke of the results of the apple law in their states.
 "A uniform grading law for apples" said Secretary Wheeler, will make for a larger demand for apples, because the buyer can be sure Of what he is get ting. It will also result, I think, in a sta abilizing of prices for apples. Just as soon as the public becomes educa- ed, he buyer will undoubtedly become more appreciative of the worth of New England apples than he ever was in the past
 The standardizing of the Oregon box. as the orthodox size for an apple box. was a point touched on in the course of his address. Later he took up the proposed law regulating grading and packing of apples in Connecticut, showing how in many of it's clauses it contained what he thought were i'm provements over the two existing laws those in Maine and New York.
 Frank w. Browning was reelected county vice president for New London county.

 the 5th of March and after that be detailed to some government service pending his appointment to 8 full con sulship for which he has been taking the examinations.
 He was in this city for a short time on Tuesday night and was warmly greeted by numerous friends whom he met.
 He found life in Gallo and his du- ties at the consulate very pleasant, but has expressed his preference in the consulor appointment that he expects to receive to be sent to some other country as he is desirous of the wider experience which this would mean. He describes Peru and Callao as very interesting places, but somewhat mOnotOnous as it's climate as far as Callao is concerned as it never rains there adn the temperature does not go above s or below 65. Yet they only have about three or four months of real sunshine and the rest of the year it is cloudy weather. There is an en- erVating effect in all this that is par ticulaTiY noticeable.
 The seaport of CalIao does an ex- port business in raw copper, which comes from the mines in the noun tains, and also exports sugar and cot ton which are grown along the coast. Another large crop is grapes.
 There is some manufacturing in the cotton line, but not enough to supply their own needs. Up to 1913 Great Britain had been the principal source of supply for manufactured cotton goods but in 1913 the United States for the first time passed Great Britain.
