would arrive by special train at 700
O'Clock Sunday evening and that he
would leave at 1870 a. m Monday
proceeding west over the O.-W r. &
n. tracks. He further stated in sub
stance that Mr.. Elliott is a plain,
blunt man." approachable and rather
averse to demonstrations in his hon
or. That he was on a trip of inspec-
ton of the company lines, and that
he was always glad to meet business
men and discuss problems in which
they and the company had a common

President Mackey stated that as
members. Of the old American Legion
committee were out of the city that
he would appoint new committee,
and named Fl. J. Rossi L. F.. Hanley
and $ L. Shonts
Mr. Rossi objected to his appoint
ment for the reason that he had TAX
en- an active part in the former dis
position of the American Legion fund
which he feared would prevent him
from acting in harmony with the
purpose of the committee.
President Mackey thought other
of the committee could be
able to hold him in line, stating that
the purpose Of the committee was to r.
and report upon the LA Il
1ility of the board of trade for the Il
rent of American Legion hall under j
he lease. s.
A. J. Dunn took exception to the c.
statement of President Mackey o.
pointing out that the board of trade S
1t a recent meeting had by vote ex- Il
,ressly disclaimed responsibility I'M al
Ter the lease and that the matter 81
vas therefore not a subject for in b,
by committee. W
NJ. A. Corner emphasized this view, lie
tating that the board had authoriz- st
