City Park Board Reorgar1izes;
Hands Out Titles and Then
Has Interesting A fter Meeting

THE board discussed the mat
ter tonight and we have decided
that it is too much bother to give
out the news of our meetings on
the night they occur. We will
give the reports On the following
day"
With this first official statement"
Richard Elbel asserted his authority
as president of the city park board to
which position he was elected Friday
evening on the retirement of Horace
Greene, whose term as a member eX-
pired Feb. l.
Reorganization of the board was
effected and w. W. RidenOur assumed
his place at the counsel table with
the other members of the board in
Mr.. Greene's place. The latter WaS
also present for the farewell"
The ultimatum announcing that the
news of park board meetings was to
be bottled up came Immediately after
the breaking up of the city hall
approached Arthur Park Perley, new
ly raised in rank from park superin-
tendent" to, park executive recogr
milton Of faithful services made in the
absence of provision for the order of

Perley as secretary has been the
source of information as to the
news" of board meetings.
PerIey Cant Say"
Perleys new title left him stripped
of some of his authority apparently.
Mr.. Perley couldn't say what the
board mad done. He referred to Mr..
Elbel.
What was done at the meeting?"
Elbel was asked.
Nothing much," he replied When
pressed further the newly elected
president, whose election, however,
was at that time unheralded, replied:
We'll the board has decided that it
is entirely too much bother to give out
the news at night, so you'll have to
be satisfied with getting it on the day
after
Having delivered himself of this
decree the new president officially
sealed it by turning and walking up
the street. The city hall meeting" of
the board was apparently ended, and
the board members. relieved from the
bother" of telling the secrets of their
conferences, were free TO go TO their
slumbers uninterrupted.
But there was an after meeting"
The new president, his predecessor
and two others were present at this
meeting. 1t was not in the city hall,

KEEP OUT Of THE
WHEAT MARKET, IS
EXPERTS ADVICE
Prices Subject to Wild FIuCtu-
atiOnS and Move to Take
Profits Will Cause DiSaS-
trouS Break for Small Fry.

CHICAGO. Feb. 6.-Traders on the
board of trade today were inclined
to proceed with more caution than for
some time, despite the excited condi-
DtiOn of the market From all sides
came warnings that the reckless spec
ulative spirit Tnat has been in evi-
dence so long must be curbed if dis
aster were not to be felt Prices of
nearly all commodities have advanced
100 per cent since last summer and
in Chicago are relatively higher than
I'm any other market This condition,
IL was admitted by some. had been
brought through the wild buying of
futures by the public AMI of cash
wheat by the foreigners The short
interest in the market has practical
ly been eliminated and the market is
therefore left in position where a
general move TO take profits might
cause a disastrous break Such a
break, it is frankly admitted, would
cause serious losses on those who
have entered the market lately. Many
who have reinvested their profits in
larger takings of wheat and corn
were said to be in a position where
peace news from Europe or a check
to exports from the United States
might create a stampede among hold
ers and send prices down sharply. The
market is essentially a war market
and subject to wild fluctuations.
Keep Out of Market" Is Advice.
1t is a remarkable fact that COM
mission houses are now asking 80
cents a bushel margin on all new
business in May wheat in an effort to
check trading, but it has had little
effect. Such a margin means that
$500 must be put up at the start on
1000 bushels. COncensus of opinion
on the board of trade today as sum-
married. in five words of advice to the
public:
"Stay out of the market"
AS to the buying of cash wheat by
foreigners. Dist. Atty. Clyne said he
had received information that the
two mysterious BUYERS in the market
the past week had been Identified as
representing the Italian and Swedish
governments Italy obtained a big
supply of wheat several days ago and
was reported 70 be wanting more. A
representative Of the Swedish govern
ment in New York who has agents in
Chicago and other cities has been in
structed. according TO Mr.. Clyne'S in
formation, TO secure all the wheat he
can get In addition to this. Ger
many's blockade OF British and Dutch
waters and certain parts of the North
sea is also figuring in the purchase of
more cereals. G.. c. Puke. the Swed-
ish consul here. disclaimed any
knowledge that his govern nent was
buying a big supply. of wheat here,
but said his government was repre-
scented in New York by a man with
authority to buy all food supplies.
Count BolOgnesi. of the Italian gov
ernment said his nation had been
buying wheat plentifully. but he did
not know Of any new orders TO pur-
chase more.

giving out the news meant an eXas-
perating DELAY of any after meetings"
that might be planned.
Irving w. Jackson was elected vice
president of the board Friday even
ing and w. W. RidenOur was placed

Of these members attended the after
meeting" Friday. The board revived
a discussion OF the late" city forest

citation for the work OF Park ExecU-

depreciation of Caruso in his song.
B-a-a-a-a-a-m! went another shell.
''Just little rosebud fallen from

congruous response to the terrific ex-
plosion.
B-o-o-O-o-O-m! B-O-O-o-o-o-O-m!
More high explosives seemed to make
the leaves tremble but the tenor
warrior shoemaker with his hand on
his heart continued to the end of
his refrain and bowed before the tenn
pest of applause. He had to take an
encore and he deserved it, every
handicap of it, so again, with piano,
flute, clarinet and the patter of rain
accompanying him, he repeated the
verse, while the big guns chimed in,
good substitute for the band drum,
now soaked and out of commission:
"'Twas just tiny flower dropped
beside my way!
Just a little rosebud fallen from
her hand!
But Cupid cuddled in it and with his
little lay
Turned all things to golden, like
Midas, in the land!"
