CHICAGO, Oct. Mrs. O'Leary and her celebrated COW will have no part in the observance of the semi centennia of the Chicago Fire, to be held Oct. 215, it was disclosed to- day.

 These records show that there was a rumor at the time that neighbOrs had slipped into the barn to milk the COW for materials for an oyster stew or milk punch, and another that bunch of boys from the neigh bohOod were smoking in the barn.
 A broken lamp was found in the ruins of the barn the day after the fire This gave rise to the report, now become a legend, that Mrs. O'Leary had gone to the barn in the evening carrying a lamp and that the cow, piqued at being disturbed, had kicked her mistress, who dropped the lamp, and the big do- ings were on.

The expressed determination OF carry

The ministry's decision to retire fol-
owed closely upon the visit of Presi-

President Loebe and the coalition
leaders will confer with President Ell

utter confusion. No prediction can be
aaxarded as to the eventual successors

that the Upper Silesian issue did not
warrant the overthrow of DR.. Wirth.
The issue on which the parties which
will form the new cabinet now have
