explains why he doesn't throw out
from his Office the 40-7clerks of the
Chicago Title & Trust Co. who work
there every day and take up valuable
space. It's plain why Connery can't
GUST 'em. He says:
Every citizen of Cook county is
entitled to come into this Office and
examine books and make searches on
real estate titles There is no discrim-
nation permitted. 1t happens that
the Chicago Title & Trust Co. has a
monopoly of abstract writing outside
of the plant which am in charge of
for Cook county.
"The clerks from the G. T. & T.
Co. come in here on business for hun
dreds of citizens doing business with
that company. 1t would be an injus-
tice to those citizens for me to refuse
space for the C. T. & T. clerks. If
county recorder should try to GUST
them they could easily get an in
junction protecting them. The c. T.
& T. clerks are in many of the courts
and have several men at the probate
court.
while it may seem peculiar that
private concern should have such a
large force regularly stationed in pub
lie offices, where space is valuable
and sometimes crowded, their legal
rights are clear.
"If the people of Cook county want
to stop the Chicago Title & Trust Co.
from using space in public offices
there is one way to make a start to
do it. Let the people enlarge their
own publicly-owned and publicly
managed abstract plan by doing bust
ness with it when they are buying
real estate.
with the exception of a few rec
ords on transfers before the big fire
the county has everything the out
side private monopoly has in the way
of records.

NEW YORK, oct. 16
American ingenuity is going to allow
London to sleep at night in peace. To-
day or tomorrow Dr. Lee de Forrest,
according to his friends, will arrive In the
English capital with an invention which
will warn London when a Zeppelin Is
coming and. further than that, It will
show London where the raider is.
Doctor de Forest, II is said, is going 20
England at the request of the British
Government. He Is the inventor Of the
audion amplfier. Several delicate micro
phones are placed in a geometrical figure,
each equipped with an audion, so that
every vibration reaching them will be
magnifed. The equipment will "listen"
for Zeppelins. The audions nearest the
approaching airshtp will register heavier
than those farther away. From the
varying effect of these vibrations IS
calculated the line of approach. With the
Airship located, It is then up to the anti
aircraft guns.
