a very interesting war letter has
been received by NJ B. Jamison, 52S
Second avenue, from his brother,
Marion Jamison, who has been in ac-
tive service in France for several
months.
Marion Jamison, when his people
opposed his entering the army on ac-
count Of his extreme youth, was so
filled with patriotism he gave his
brothers the slip and went to La
Sale and enlisted without their con
sent. He was on his way to Jeffer
son Barracks when he notified them
he had entered the service. 1t was
the same patriotic spirit that filled
Private Jamison that won the war for
the allies.
The letter, which was written al
most a week after the signing of the
armistice and tells many interesting
things about the Italian prisoners and
German soldiers, reads in full:

PROBE IS ORDERED.
COMMITTEES AND COUNTY OF
FtCiALS PRESENT REPORTS
COVERING WORK OF THE LAST
SIX MONTHS.

Charges supported by aiildayits that
tSaniflat had been substituted for lead
and oil In the painting of the deten-
ton home were submitted TO the
board of supervisors by a committee
from the Ottawa Painters Union at
this mornings session OF the board.
The atiidavits were accompanied by a
statement in which IL was charged by
Edgar Streuyer that proposals for
painting for the court house were so
indefinite that no one could bid upon
them; that Jason f. Richardson Jr.,
county architect, favored G. Ill Begel,
the Aurora painter, and that Saniilat
was substituted for lead and oil in
the painting of the detention home
Three aiIidavits were submitted in
support of the statement by Edgar
Streuver, Frank Sweger and Seth
Gregg, all under oath. that Saniiiat
was used by James Finneran, the La
Sale contractor, in the painting OF
the detention home, and that Mr.. Fin
neran informed them that he had
been given permission to make the
substitution.
The Painters Union does not want
all the painting of public buildings to
come to Ottawa but its does insist
that La Sale County firms be given
the work in preference to outsiders.
The painting of the detention home
was in charge of the building com
mittee, Of which NJ. J. Charley OF
La Sale in chairman.
Mr.. Charley said anyone could come
before the board If permitted ana
slander any member OF the board
whose character and integrity were
unquestioned, and he would not have
considered these charges had not a
prominent member of the board dig
nified them enough to ask to have
them placed in writing. AS chairman
Of the committee he vouched for che
honesty and integrity of James Fin
neran, and Mr.. Richardson, the
county architect, who had always been
found to be Trustworthy, cOmpeten'
and satisfactory to the members OF
the board. Mr. Charley here gave no
tice that if the charges could not be
substantiated he would ask for the
prosecution of those making them.
In yesterdays report of the pro
Sanitarium was mentioned wherein
the detention home was the building
named by the committee from the
Painters Union,
Jason +. Richardson Jr. and JOIN
