BUCK RAKES THE COUNCIL FOR
STALLING SCHOOL BOARD CASE
Things fell fast in the school
board investigation fight yesterday.
Aid. Buck, before a citizens meeting
on the West Side, raked Mayor
Thompson and the council for block
ing the quiz which he had started. In
Springfield the legislature in a ir-
regular way set up committee Of
its members to carry on the inVesti-
cation which Buck started.
The legislature action is pointed
out by persons friendly to Bucks eff
forts to be a fake one for the pur-
pose of staIling off the real quiz
which Buck still hopes to pull
through.
Branding aldermen who changed,
their vote on the school inquiry ques-
ton as bought by patronage of the.
mayor" Aid. Buck threw some hard
slams at those responsible for the
staIling of his investigation.
1.-THE vote to pass the school in
vestigation resolution over the veto
of Mayor Thompson showed just
which aldermen had been bought by
promises of a patronage from the
executive" declared Buck. eff the
mayor succeeds in holding these aid
ermen in line the school inquiry will
never proceed.
81 don't know why some people are
so anxious to stall this attempt to
open the records of the schools, but
it met bitter opposition.
Aldermen who have the interests
of the city at heart" said Buck,
''have a hard fight to shake from the
throat of the city the system which
has been choking the municipality
for years.

council called rebels because we OPP
pose the mayors appointments. The
council rules say the mayor shall
make all appointments by and with
the advice and consent of the coUn-
Gil.
Under present conditions the
council approves the mayors ap-
pointments without giving them con-
sideration. It is merely matter Of
form"
In Springfield, by a queer matter
of procedure. a bill the record Of
which is doubtful was given the
90. K" of the senate. It provided
for an investigation of Chicago
schools by a committee composed in
the majority of Thompson RepubH-
cans. They are Senators George
Harding, w. S. Jewell, P. G. Baldwin,
S. D. Canaday and P. E. Coleman.
Michael Collins, pres. of the board,
declared that the board was willing
to be investigated by this commit
tee.
Senator Samuel Ettleson, good
friend of Corporation Counsel Fol-
som, who advised Mayor Thompson
that the council committee had no
right to investigate, introduced the
measure.
According to the records of the
senate, resolution 76, the investiga-
ting order, was brought up after reso-
luton IS to adjourn, was passed,
June 10.
EttIeson spring a surprise on the
senators by asking that the record Of
the proceedings be changed to read
that an investigation resolution had
been passed. His motion was car
ried and the committee was ap-
pointed.

ALLIES WILL BLOCK GERMAN
U. S. SHIP PLANS

London, July 13.-The allies, it is
reliably stated today, would not con-
sent to any arrangement between
Germany and the United States by
which interned German liners would
resume their sailings under the Amer
lean flag with a GeTman-American
understanding that they carry no
contraband to England.
Cable dispatches from the Berlin
bureau of the United Press, reporting.
that the German foreign Office had
approved such a proposal, excited
keen interest in official circles today.
But it was the unanimous opinion
that both the British and French for
eign offices would state fatty to
Washington, if such a proposal were
formally made, that it could not be
entertained by the allies.

Should Watch the PeddIer

James w. Helme, state food and
dairy commissioner, is out with few
tips to housewives regarding her win
ter supply of apples, potatoes, onions
and other vegetables.
"The law provides for heaped
measure" advises Mr.. Helme. He
says further that the bushel should
be heaped as much as possible and
that the law says the same. "Pedd-
lers," continued Mr.. Helme, shave all
sizes of baskets and the consumer is
unable to tell whether a proper
amount is being given. Therefore,
every housewife should have her own
bushel measure and should be certain
it contains 2,15042 cubic inches-no
more and no less. If she doesn't want
to buy bushel basket a box meas
uring IL by IA by 16 inches will do.
A box, so constructed, when level
full, will hold legal bushel of apples
or potatoes.
