edged authority on commercial law
and became successful teacher IN

seventeen years. He moved to Sturgls'

was recognized in 1898, when he was
elected a member of the forty-frst
general assembly of Illinois. In April,
1901, he was elected to the city council
Of Chicago and served four terms.
One of his most important works

cents, and which wiped out bills
against the city for gas amounting to
