''The redistricting plan has been
passed and is now law; there is no
reason why it should not be put in
to effect" said Dennis ]. Egan, chair
man of the organization committee.
There was complete harmony at the
meeting and we see no obstacle in
the way of putting the plan into op-
Grafton before the elections next
spring"
The solid lineup of the Democratic
alderman behind the plan practically
assures it of success even against
Mayor Thompson's opposition. 1t is
still a question whether the mayor
could exercise his veto power on the
measure, and the only method by
which an obstacle might be thrown
in it's way would be through a petit
tion of fourteen aldermen to place the
question before the people for refer
endum next year.

principal and interest on the $10,OOO,-

Attorney General Goes After Big State
Officers and Discovers Where the
Gang Have COPIED Coin
Over Six Hundred Thousand Dollars of Interest
Money Said to Have Been
Gobbled by Gang

Attorney General Brundage has
struck a new trail in his fight on the
Springfield gang.
An alleged paper bank" which re-
ceived loan of $10,000,000 is said
to have enabled certain state officials
to cop $650,000 of money belonging
to the people, but held by the officials
as their share of the interest paid
by this bank on the state loan.
The s1O,OOO,OOO was loaned to the
Grant Park bank" by a former state
treasurer. Certificates of deposit bear
ing the inscription Grant Park
Bank, E. F. and V. S. Curtis, proprie-
tors" were all that were turned
into the state treasurer's office at
the time. The money was used by
the Grant Park Bank" to purchase
Swift & Co., and $5,500,000 of notes
Of Armour & Co.
The rate of interest on these securi-
ties was per cent, but the paper was
purchased at a figure far enough
below par to make the rate S12 per
cent.
When Miller refused to accept the
certificates of deposit from holders
the securities were turned over to
him, and the state since that time,
it is said, has received the full in
terest
Efforts of Treasurer Miller to check
up on the interest disclosed, it is
+Ia% cto%n 11xy
per cent interest on the money, and
it has not been definitely established
whether it received even that amount
for the full time the loan was out
standing. Granting that the per
cent was turned in, there would be
$650.000 a year still to be accounted
for on the S1a per cent basis.
With a view to improving the
mail service in Chicago, a commit
teen composed of Secretary E. H.
McDermot of the congressional
Joint commission on postal service
and six postal employees began a
survey of the system of distributing
mail here.
Three of the men are from New
York, where they aided in a similar
investigation. Three are from the
Chicago postoffice Besides Mr.. Nc
Dermot, they are: William Sansom
assistant to Gen. Leroy T. Steward
William T. Brown, mailing division

The Democratic Managing Commit
tee, under the leadership of Dennis J.
Egan, has decided to use all of it's
influence to push through the Seward
redistricting plan in the City Council.
Forty-two Democratic aldermen
pledged their cooperation in a plan
to hold a special session of the city
council, July 21, at which the matter

council at the present time, owing to
vacancies, the illness of Aid. Link,
and the absence of several members
in Europe, is sixty-three. Adding the
Brundage and Deneen aldermen to
the Democratic lineup, the plan will
have approximately fifty hackers on
the floor of the council. 1t is doubt
full if the necessary fourteen could
be aligned against it.
Plans to put the fifty-ward plan
through last winter were blocked by
Mayor Thompson's friends in the
council, but, owing to the mayors re-
cent action in ousting a large number
of Democrats from city hall jobs, the
Democrats with him at that time prob
ably will stand solidly behind their
party leaders in pushing the plan
through now.
Hotel and restaurantmen were
here this week from all over the
country for the American Hotel and

George E. Wolk of the Hotel La Sale,

CHAIRMAN X. K. JOHNSTON
REFUNDS ONE.HALF OF
CGTY'S CONTRIBUTION
ACT UNEXPECTED
Careful And business Like Adm
inistrati0n OF Centennial Re-
suits In Saving Of Five
Hundred Dollars.

The members Of the city council
met for the transaction Qf business.
Tuesday night, and not to have sur
prise party But they had a surprise
just the same. The surprise came
to the council in the shape Of a check
for five hundred dollars from Mr.. K.
f. Johnston, chairman Of the Gem
tenniaI and Homecoming Celebra-
tion, ard was the refund Of onc-half
Of the city's liberal contribution to
the Centennial, made last spring
when plans for the celebration were
just getting under way.
BY careful and business-like man
agemcnt, at the hands Of business
men, the Centennial Celebration was
successfully carried through with less
expense than was at first estimated.
When all the bills had been paid, the
treasurer found that he had five
hundred dollars left. The Centennial
managers thought the very best use
to which the money could be put
would be to return it to the city, and
this was done on Tuesday night. Tho
council expressed appreciation for the
check, and extended vote Of thanks
to Chairman Johnston for the splen-
did manner in which he and his fell
low-eommitteemen managed the cele.
bration.
The Centennial committee also
presented to the city the eight strings
Of incandeseent lights that were
bought for street illumination. The
city will keep the strings Of lights in
good condition for future celebrations.
The welcome arch ail be stored.
intact, so that it can be brought out
at any time when occasion demands.
II Is not deemed advisable to let the
arch remain where it is, but
by storing it, il will be available on
short notice for future use. Next
spring there will be about a hundred
editors here, and the well
come arch will be brought out for
them.
In the matter of the return Of the
1--WE hundred dollars 10 the city, il
seems that the Centennial Committee
displayed good judgment In no other
way could the money be used to the
benefit Of the entire population Of the
'ity.
The Centennial has passed and
gone It is now a matter Of history,
md one Of the brightest pages of
he history Of Columbus. It was sue
.cssfGlly and admirably managed,
md Chairman Johnston and his fell
will long be re-
ncmbercd for their faithful, efficient
md untiring labors. II is hoped that
heir grandchildren and great-grand-
hiidrcn will have as successful
celebration in 202l as we had in 1921.

Handsome Gift For
Rev. Jesse c. Rowan

A handsome gift was received on
Wednesday by the Rev. Jesse c. Row
an which made that popular gentle
man very happy. The gift was the
Holy. Bible in three magnifcently
bound volumes and came from friends
and admirers in Greenville, S. c.
This copy Of the scriptures is print
cd on the very finest India linen pap
er. Large, clear, easiy-read type was
used. The volumes arae prufusely il
Illustrated with steel engrayings and
reproductions Of oil paintings The
binding is full morocco, stamped in
black and gold, with the name J. c.
Rowan printed in gold on the front OF
each book. Leather book-marks also
contain the name j. c. Rowan.
On the hy-lcaf of each volume there
is written, "A slight token of our con-
tinueh esteem and regard" and under
neatH this the signatures of ten Of
Brother Rowans former parishioners
are subscribed, as follows: A. c. Mar
tin, H. L. Eaton, Herbert Lindsay, r.
+. Henry, W. A. Floyd, j. c. Arm
strong, Ellison A. Smyth, E. s. Player
Louis Shcrfesec and w. b. Coke.
The books were made in London,
and are as fine as books can be made.
That Brother Rowan endeared bim
self to the congregation Of the Pres
bytcrian Church at Greenville, S. c..
just as he has done in Columbus, is
clearly manifested by this splendid
gift The wonder is that we ever got
him away from Greenville. 1t must
have been the eloquence and earnest /
ness Of those splendid gentlemen and
Christians, Hon. John f.
Frierson, Mr.. T. w. Harris, and Mr..
Frank p. Phillips, that did the work
The Dispatch congratulatcs the
Rev. Mr. Rowan upon the possession
Of such priceless books, as well as
upon the possession of such devoted
and loyal friends. However, he de-
serves all the good things life holds.
