TALLARD CHOSEN
LOCAL DELEGATE
Will Attend Conference OF Mayor ani
Governors at White House
Next Week.

Mayor George A. Quigley has dele
gated H. S. Tallard, chairman of the
local district board of the United
States Employment Service bureau,
to represent him at the conference of
mayors and governors at the White
House on March Sd, 4th. and 5th. The
conference has been called by Presi-
dent Wilson in order to discuss the
general Industrial and labor condi-
tions throughout the entire country.
The local district comprises Bristol,
Plainville, Southington, Berlin and
New Britain and it is probable that
Mayor Quigley was to represent the
district as well as this city. In ap-
pointing Mr.. Tallard, he thought of
the general knowledge he had of the
situation in this district. He has been
busily engaged for some time on the
employment service and is thoroughly
conversant with conditions. He is es-
pecially well informed on the situa-
ton as it exists in this city. Mayor
Quigley felt that with this knowledge
Mr.. Tallard was better able to repre-
sent this city and the entire district
than any other person.
Mr.. Tallard will leave this city for
Washington tomorrow night arriving
there on Sunday. The conferences
will be held on Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday and at 1870 o'clock on
Monday morning President Wilson
will address the men in the East room
of the White House.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Foreign ex-
change transactions between the
United States and Russia have been
prohibited by the federal reserve
board, and similar action has been
taken by the authorities of Great
Britain and France. 1t is understood

agents. Virtually the only means Of
stopping this was to shut off these

POLICE SOLVING

Believe That Body Exhumed from
Catholic Church Is That of
Missing Sister.

Traverse City, Mich, Feb. IS
Although positive Identification Of the
bones of a human body exhumed
from beneath the little church at Isa-
dore, near here, and later reinterred
in the parish cemetery, was still lack
ing today, results of the search which
county authorities have been making
for the original grave convinces them,
they said today, that these are the
remains of Sister Mary Johns, who
disappeared II years ago.
Digging in the same spot from
which Jacob Flees, sexton of the
church, affirms he exhumed the body
of Sister Mary, officers yesterday
found a silk scapular, a wooden cruel
fix and fragm ents of a black veil and
heavy brown cloth. All these arti-
cles the officers said, are peculiar to
the Felician order, of which Sister
Mary was a member
