To further guard and assure protection of our boys and patrons, we have se- erred the services of Horace E.. Steele, of Kansas, who will be on duty at all hours when the pool IS Tn Ioperation. Mir.

In other words every dollar that you spend with us will mean dollar spent for the betterment O Conway.
 The daily increasing number O nersons who go swimming in the Do, Scouts pool shows the value of tn enterprise.

 benefit to the whole town. And inc
 dentally, they have great time =, dui n inc the swimming hours. hel swimming time in the morning IS the' Q learning time and they are oein

last November. Special Examiner A.
c. Gutheim conducted that investiga.
ton. Letters alleged to have been
written by Denvir, who at that time
was chairman Of the public utilities
committee of the Illinois State Sen.
ate, were introduced as evidence.
These letters showed that Denvir,
calling especial attention to the fact
that he was chairman Of the commit.
tee that would decide upon railroad
legislation, asked for an annual pass
for himself over the Burlington lines.
The date Of the letter alleged to have
been written by Denvir was January
II, 1913.
Letters from Chester M. Dawes, gen.
eral counsel Of the Burlington, to Sen.
ator Denvir. were also introduced.
Dawes refused Denvir the pass asked
for. In reply to this letter Denvir Is
said to have written another letter
which said. among other things: II
wish to assure you that when our
committee gets through with you, you
will find your road in the hands of a
receiver"
The report made by Commissioner
Harlan today finds that Denvir ga
write the letters. although the Illinois
legislator denied having done so.

PLANTATION was afforded Mr.. Denvir. It
was not forthcoming, and we deem
It our duty to make this record of the
matter. It Is we'll to add that our in.
vestigations of the records Of other
carriers at Chicago show that many
requests have been made in the past
for free transportation for the use Of
John T. Denvir. The records Of the
Illinois Central show that refusal
to issue such free pass was followed
by the receipt Of q letter by its vice
president as follows:

as the answer. In the event you dis.
regard my request you can rest as
sured that In the next general assem-.
