 Besides being a member of the Common Council, Alderman Brown is the chairman of the Voting Machine Committee which has charge of pre- pairing and placing the voting ma chimes in the several voting places.
 This year the committee gave the for electricity to Alderman Brown and he has filed a bill for 1850 for the work done under this contract.
 Last year the price of wiring the one-half of this years and it has been O. K.'ed by Building Inspector Daniel M. Rowland, who stated that he had nothing to do with the bill but to cer- tify that the work was done.
 Inspector Rowland explained, how ever, that the work this year was much greater than in years past as the polling places were in the school houses and care was necessary so as not to destroy any part of the build ing. Inspector Rowland also said that much of the wiring used this year can be used again next year if the schools are u~ed.
 Fitzpatrick & Hotz Co. claim that Brown owes them $563.49 and they have attached one thousand dollars to secure that claim.
 Flynn & Power Co. claim that they are owed s152 and they have attached the S35O balance due Brown from the city to secure that claim.

MINORS WILL GETA MODIFIED LASKER

The 1920 model government offered to the minors by Ban B. Johnson and his maSnates is far more ideal from nearly every angle than the Lasker plan for reorganization. This was the concensus of opinion among the baseball men gathered here. and ii was believed that the offer the National Leaguers will make to the convention will be almost identical. The chillsome reception handed the Lasker plan by the minors, it was said, resulted in a nasty revamping of some of Lasker's theories.
 Ban B. Johnson and his factions have made a strong bid for the SUD- port of the minors. They have asked the little fellows" for support and qualified the request with the plea that Eff you cannot support us, do not support the other fellows"

Paris, Aug. 25.-An optimistic
feeling prevailed at the French for

freely expressed that the situation
is clearer and that the allies are more
closely united than at any other time
since the armisticc.
Endorsement of the French policy
toward Russia by the United States
last week and by Great Britain and
Italy yesterday is felt here to have
cleared up the atmosphere and the
anxiety which has been evident at
the foreign Office the past few weeks
has disappeared.
The foreign Office favors a meet
ing of the various premiers as soon
as possible. The British Offices at
Downing street and also the Italian
ministry of foreign affairs have been
sounded as to whether they would
agree to advance the meeting of The
supreme council to the first week in
September instead of holding it the
middle of the month.

Office told the Associated Press.

REIMBURSEMENT
IS ORDERED IN
Grain CHARGES
Freight Rates to Atlantic
Seaboard Fixed on Basis
Of 80 Per Cent
Increase.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Readjust-
ments of rates on grain to the At
lantic seaboard was ordered today
by the Interstate Commerce CON-
mission, on the basis of 80 per cent
increase in domestic rates and Is
per cent in export rates. instead OF
the 40 per cent authorized in the re-
cent increase allowed by the conf
mission.
In explaining its action, the com.
mission said:
"In the hope of stimulating a
movement of bulk grain from Lake
Superior and Lake Michigan ports
to Lake Erie ports for movement by
rail beyond to the Atlantic seaboard
territory, both for export and for
domestic use, and thus relieving
congestion on the all-rail line be-
tween Chicago and the Atlantic sea.
board, releasing cars at the western
lake ports for return to the grain
fields and scducing the long haul
of empty cars from the seaboard
to the west, the commission sug-
gested to the trunk line carriers
from the Lake Erie ports to the sea-
board the advisability of promptly
rcadjusting the ex-lake rates on
grain in bulk from Buffalo, Erie
and Fairport by applying to those
rates lower percentages of increase
than were authorized recently by the
commission.
This suggestion was cheerfully
accepted by the carriers and the
commission has issued special per.
mission authorizing the adjustmen,
of these rates on one days notice,
These rates will be made effective
not later than September !, and will
be published to expire at midnight
February 28. 1921.
1T should be understood that
these concessions are made by these
carriers solely for the reasons which
prompted the commission to make
the suggestion and are not to be
considered precedent in, or as pref.
udicing any further adjustment OF
these rates. Under this readjust-
ment, the lake and rail rates will be
about 3 per cent per 100 pounds
lower than the all-rail rates based
upon the present costs of lake trans
portation, marine insurance, etc.
at is to be hoped that these read
justments will induce a large move
ment of grain over these routes. II
that result is obtained. it will effect
a substantial contribution to the
number of cars available for moving
grain in the grain belt states"
