away nearly every day with accusa-
tons of plots secretly Matched"
The first official act Of the league"
when organized last fall was an en-
dorsement of Jake Loeb for school
board president and the sending of
a committee to Mayor Thompson,
who said: 'Mr. Loeb and stand for
the same things in the public
schools"
Alfred Urion, chief counsel for Ar
mOur & Co., was a good deal of a
mystery when he went into the
league" 1t was thought Og Armour
had enough to do keeping the public
beef and pork supply free from ptO-
maines without bothering with the
public schools. The motive appear
ed when Sen. Baldwin of the stock
yards district, through the cO-Opera-
ton of Corporation Counsel EttelsOn
at Springfield, got a bill passed by
the senate empowering the school
board to sell school lands. If the bill
passes the house the way is cleared
for the ArmOur-Owned Chicago Belt
Line to get 1890 acres of land at
Clearing, already partially leased, but
not entirely owned by the Belt line.
Aid. Buck and Merriam, as hackers Of
the Sief bill for an elective school
board, naturally know exactly why
the Chicago Public School league"
is out with splattering statements.
The Tribune has regularly printed
every line of accusation, scandal and
piffle issued by the Public School
'1eague." Also it has regularly pep
.pered editorials against Buck and
Merriam. AS a school land lessee
with a rental $4,000 a year less than
it would be with a reValuatiOn clause
in its lease, the Tribune's support of
its friends is explainable. Nor is it
complicated by the added fact that

G. BeaIe, is attorney for the Com

REPUBLICANS WANT COALITION
CABINET FOR WAR CRISIS

Washington, Feb. 26.-That a con-
certed Republican plan to force a vir-
tual coalition government in dealing
with the present international situa-
ton was one of the chief reasons why
President Wilson decided to bare his
hand through an address to a joint
session was the claim of prominent
Republican leaders today.
From other ranking Republican
sources it was learned that many
members of the opposition had
planned to make open demand that
all parties be represented at admin
istration war councils" by members
Of congress.

100000 APPROPRIATION TO

Washington, Feb. 26.-Sen. Borah

A last stand against opprOpriating
100000 for a food price probe by
the federal trade commission was to
be made today in the house by chair

On the ground that the vote Of

represented only about twO-thiTds of
the house, Fitzgerald had planned to
