HOME RULE FOR CHICAGO

Hope is expressed that Chicago's
home rule plan will win out in the
Illinois constitutional convention over
one submitted in opposition to it by
the Illinois Municipal league is made
in a letter from Willis J. Spaulding,
chairman of the organizations consti.
tutional provisions committee to Aid.

council constitutional committee and
also q member of the league COM
mittee.
Incidentally the letter caused Aid.
Lyle TO send a letter to Springfield
dissenting from the report sent to the
constitutional convention and resign
ing from the league because Of its op.
position TO the Chicago plan.
From conversations with constitu.
tional delegates" Spaulding writes,
Il am convinced that the leagues
report will be rejected in the conven.
ton and that the theory of the Chi
cago proposal will be adopted. This
merely gives cities the presumption
of home rule, giving the legislature
the final authority.
There are certain exceptions. For
instance the constitution will provide
directly that cities may adopt a zon'
Ing system, may own and operate utili'
ties and may make valid contracts
for limited time with utility cor
porations."

Before the Public Utilities Com
mission George NJ. Reynolds, presi'
dent of the Continental and CONNER.
cial National Bank, was the princi'
pal spokesman.
Public Utilities have not a nickels
worth of credit" Mr.. Reynolds in.
formed Messrs. Cleveland and Ringer.
THE banks are forced to refuse them
loans. Why, even two years ago
when Samuel insult came TO me for
a loan OF a million for the Peoples
Gas company ! called into consulta'
tation sixteen other bank presidents
and finally we prorated the loan. We
weren't very anxious to make ii then.
We can't loan money to utilities
now"
Led into a discussion Of prices, Mr..
Reynolds declared he didn't believe
there would "be any letup in high
prices for ten years"
Other bankers who previously had
testified and were recalled for cross
examination included David r. Forg.
an, Harry A. Wheeler, Chester Corey,
F. D. Hubert and Charles Schweppe,
II didn't take Mr.. Cleveland long to
go down the list. Each gave blan.
ket Endorsement to all Mr.. Reynolds
said-and was excused.
The commission handed down a rul'
ing extending the present telephone
rates until June 30, pending a per,
manent ruling on the Chicago Tele'
phone company's request for an in

Helping the Indian "Come Back"

Mrs. Cato Sells, wife of the United
States Indian commissioner, Is greatly
interested In her husbands work and
frequently accompanies him on his
visits of inspection.
Many of these inspection trips are
intensely interesting, rs for example
visit TO the Jicarilla Apaches In
southwestern Colorado and northern
New Mexico. A few years ago these
Indians appeared to be a doomed tribe,
diseased, poverty-stricken and with
out ambition. Mr.. Sells says of this
trip:
II had conference with several
hundred men of the tribe. They were
full of the zest of life, keenly inter
ested in their fiocks and herds, abb
sorbed in playing the game Of the
new surroundings. Primarily, this
people was saved by giving 1t pur-
pose and goal in life. We bought them
sheep out of the tribal funds. We
showed them how to play the econom-
ic game of sheep-raising. Oh, J tell

NO INTERFERENCE
 ]. BY |. |. C. WITH 1. STATE COMMISSION
Atlanta Chosen Next Conven- ton City By Association of Rail and Utilities
 Commissioners
By Associated Press

Washington, November 1.-The inter- state commerce commission has no dispo- sition to interfere with state regulatory bodies in administration of local traffic problems. Chairman Clark of the fed eral body said today at the conference of the national association of railway and utilities commissioners. Replying to question from Chairman Lewis of the Indiana commission, MT. Clark said that erning ntrastate distribution of cars, and ID complaint came to the federal body, certainly we woulden interfere with it. Withdrawal of car privileges for transporting coal for public utilities was due to abuses of the orders, Mir. Clark said Some of the utilities, he asserted. had under this .>privilege added coal to their storage and others had even divert ed coal for other purposes.
 Referring to the organization of local terminal committees, Mir. Clark said the commission planned to establish car ser- vice agents and local committees through out the country. It was impossible, he added for any tribunal in Washington to deal with the mass of local matters which come up daily.
 Serious situations confront the public utilities through inability to get coal for which they have contracted. M. H. Ailes- worth. executive manager of the National Electric Light association, asserted. Since the middle of October he said cleo tric light and power companies and gas and street railway companies have re- ceived very little contract coal.
 Many of the companies have very few days supply on hand, and the situa- tion is critical he said, urging priority orders.
 Getting coal for public utilities resolves itself down to the question of price, h. terstate Commerce Commissioner Atchi- son declared. Coal is being produced and moved, he said, and if utilities are not getting 1t the matter is their lookout" and that of the public utility commission. The commission, he said, has no power to force coal operators to fill the coal con- tracts with the utilities.
 The association today unanimously ser lected Atlanta as the place for the next annual convention beginning on the sec ond Tuesday in October. 1921.
 The convention observed Armistice Day by joint meeting with the members and employees of the interstate commerce com mission, Chairman Clark of the commits sion presiding.

Montgomery, November Special J. Montgomery celebrated the signing of the armistice Thursday with an informal reception to Governor Cox, a~big parade by the American Legion and kindred organizations, and ceremonial of Aica- gar temple, Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine. From morning until night the streets of the city were thronged, business was suspended and the day was given wholly to fnn-making and rejoicing over the event of two years ago, which gave America and allies a complete victory over Germany and as- sociate powers.
 z The coming of Governor Cox brought hundreds of persons to Montgomery from other cities and towns. The Armistice Day celebration brought still other hum dreds and the annual ceremonial of the Shriners brought large numbers of Shrin- CTS from all sections of Alabama Atlanta, Macon and other cities of other states
 The celebrating was started with one oi the most gorgeous parades ever staged in Montgomery. Shriners from Birming- ham, Mobile, Atlanta, Macon and other cities took part in the parade with their quaint costumes, their musical instru- ments and their implements for noise- making.

ing of several patriotic songs. The principal address of the day was deliy- cred by Major Lamar Jeffers of Annis- ton. The long term of service of this honored soldier on the fields of France peculiarly fitted him for telling those boys and girls of the many interesting though serious things that faced the soldiers over there. His description of the great achievements of our armies and the many sacrifices which they made was most impressive. He began with the small and minor sacrifices of many kinds and followed the list all the way up to those of ths soldieres who made the greatest sacrifice of all-the supreme sac rifice of their lives. At this point he urged his hearers to make a shrine of their hearts for those who fell in bat tie, and cherish their memory forever with the peace which was restored to the world by their sacrifice of life.
 At the close of his splendid and touch- ing address Major Jeffers was joined by the audience in one minute of silent prayer to the God who piloted us through that terrible period and brought us

men who donned theft uniforms, service stripes and decorations for the occasion. During the parade, which passed through the business section or the city and to the state capitol at the head of Dexter avenue, it is estimated that 25,0o0 people were on the streets. For more than two hours automobiles and street cars were damned and only pedestrians were able to move on the streets. With it all, the celebration did not cause any unpleasant things, as the city commission had banned the use of confetti, talcum pow der and other things which caused criticism two years before.
 Three hundred Masons were initiated into the Shriners and shown the myster- les of the fun-making branch of Masonry following the parade. The days celebra- ton ended with grand ball at the city auditorium Thursday night, with Alcazar temple as host.
 The American Legion held memorial session for the men who went to battle and never returned, following the parade. Former Gov. Emmet ONeal delivered the address, while short talks were made by J. Lister Hill, commander of the Montgomery Post; General IT. c. David son, representing the United Confederate Veterans, and l.. II. Brasseli, represent ing the Spanish American war veterans
 Following Governor O'Neals address the audience stood for two minutes and offered a silent prayer for those who died in battle
