behind the Baldwin quiz are willing
that he should.
While the aldermen are together
tomorrow a few witnesses may be

Certain facts about contracts and
about school lands were especially

some of these facts have been got

DEALS AT SPECIAL N
The action of the Jake Loeb crew
on the school board in voting to hide
information on the manner in which
the board operates has caused Chair
man Thomas J. Lynch to call a spe-
cial meeting of the schools commit
tee of the city council for Saturday
morning.
The meeting was called on the re-
quest of Aid. ROb't NJ. Buck, chair
man of the subcommittee of the
schools committee. Buck would not
divulge the necessity of a special
meeting of the full committee. It is
believed, however, that the subcom-
mittee has uncovered information
that makes a special meeting of eX-
IRENE Importance.
1t is believed that the committee
will also attempt to prove to Loeb
and his cohorts why the city council
has a right for information as to how
the board is conducting the affairs of
the public school system of Chicago.
Angus Roy Shannon, atty for the
board, has backed up the refusal of
Loeb to let the public know what is
going on.
If tomoTow's meeting Of the COM
mittee accomplishes nothing in the
way of getting information from the
board it is believed States Atty
How're will take a hand.
HOyne and Buck held a long con-
ference on the school board situa-
ton earlier in the week At that
meeting it was decided that the COM
mittee should make one more effort
to get the information necessary
from the school board If Loeb still
persists in his present stand the pros
ecutOr is expected to get busy and
throw the searchlight on the strange
conduct of the Loeb crew.
