 RECRUITS SLOWLY
Chicago Mayor Finds It Hard to
 Get Followers

Chicago, H., Oct 29.- IP)-T Spirit Of '76 ran rampant in Chicago today while messages from mayors and governors and members of con- gress piled Up in the office of Gen. eral William Hale Thompson, George Washington able lieutenant in the war to free America from British domination.
 But the public seemed curiously interested in football.
 Full results of General Thompson s earnest effort to organize q regiment of mayors, governors and members of congress to join the continental army were not yet known, but early returns from canvassed political lights gave strong indication that there would be large gaps in the ranks of the army which Big Bill apparently hoped to lead to Valley Forge.
 Meanwhile, the campaign 10 keep the British Legions outside the limits of Cook county and Chicago was al a standstil.
 The English speaking union, an organizatio devoted 10 improving relations between America and Brit ain. met in business session yesterday and adjourned unmolested. It seem- ed uninterested in the Thompson drive 10 rid Chicago's schools and libraries of contaminating literature, reflecting on the records of revolu- tionary leaders.

Washington, Oct 2s (UP)--With the governments conspiracy case against former Secretary Of the In- ! terior Albert E. Fall and Harry F.
 Sinclair virtually completed after two weeks Of evidence. the trial re.
 snltins from the lease of Teapot Dome Naval Reserve today was in recess until Monday.
 Prosecutor owen Roberts plans 10 call Robert w. Stewart, chairman.
 Standard Oil company Of Indiana, as
 the last Nitnes. on the Continental
 Trading company phase of the in
 dictment, which charges Sinclair
 passed SeS0,500 in liberty bonds to Fall
 stewart May testified on 8 soy- ernment charge which has not so far been established by eye witness testimony" That is, that Sinclair was a Continental stockholder, and thus in a position to receive certain profits in liberty bonds traced to Falls possession,
 Then the government will present evidence dealing with Sinclair's ad- mitted loan Of s?5,0o0 in liberty bonds 10 Fall in 1923, after Fall re- tired from the cabinet. The govern ment charges this loan was 8 part of the conspiracy to defraud the government.
 The government probably will close its case Tuesday, and the de- tense will start at once.
 Charles w. Thomas, former Col orado senator and governor, will re- turn to the stand Monday to resume his story of the conference of oil chiefs. in New York in Nov. 1921, on Tuesday when the Continental company signed contracts purchas- ing S3,33S.333 barrels of oil at Sl.5o and selling it 10 Sinclair and Stand ard companies at sl.75. Thomas, as attorney for the oil producer, the late A. l.. Humphreys, was present and wrote the contracts. Sinclair, Stewart, James O'Neil and Harry NJ. Blackmer were among those present.
 X battle started at adjournment of the trial yesterday will be re- stunned Monday. after a defense at tempt to ascertain from Thomas whether his first draft Of the Hum phreys' contract provided for sale direct 10 the Sinclair and Standard companies. The government wants to show it did provide for direct sale, thus implying the Continental funds for such uses as gifts and loans to government officials.

 posterity IS the battle of ponderous
 books.
 All other angles of the 100 per
 cent situation were subordinated to
 the great movement of Mayor
 Thompson to recruit fellow -mayors, governors, senator and representa- lives for service against King George. ' Thompson invited all the gov
 ernors. senators and congressmen. 1 and mayors of all cities of more than 20,00o population and some Of less, 10 join his America first foun- datlon, The which. it's i sponsors explain on the slightest proVocatlon, is entirely non political IS an institution designed to fur { ,her American deals, and respect for me constitution and essential laws"
 The term essential laws is not de- l, fined, but Thompson is an avowed -prohibitonist.
 A rider on the invitation mention ed 8 s10 initiation fee.
 Replies to the invitations started coming in yesterday, and today they were piled on desks in the mayors office like cannon balls at Yorktown. NO official data on the nature of the answers was available. It was an nounced on the mayors behalf that he desired to assemble and tabuIate all replies before making any of them public, But from other sources came interesting information on the recruiting drive.
 'l haven't got the sfG," said Mayor Claude Sandstrom of Moline. III.
 I'm too busy" said Mayor Victor Miller of St. Louis. Y am wondering whether your career guarantees proper leadership" said Mayor FL win SWarthout of Grand Rapids Mich "I'll think further before ] send my $l0."
 Mayor Daniel ". Hoan, socialist or Milwaukee, expressed doubt as 10 whether Thompson and Chicago had entirely lived up to American ideals ana respect for law in the long standing Lake Michigan water diver sion fight, Mayor Magill of Bcloit, WIS. urged Thompsonian aid in q campaign to eXterminatc the English pheasant.

Spacious UnbrOken Lawn.
The grounds of the home differ from
those of the neighboring homes in
that there is a more spacious lawn
unbroken by evergreens and flowers
and shrubbery, which are kept more
to the edge of the lot and close to the
house. The color scheme Of the place
is unusual, having a blush green
shingle roof and green clapboard
facades. Massive chimneys of daz-
zling whiteness rise high above the
roof and from this feature of the place
the house acquired the name of
White Chimneys."
In the courtyard at the rear of the
house, formed by the two wings, is a
formal garden with a walk lead to the
end of the lot, where is found q high
stucco wall and fountain bordered by
shrubbery and evergreens.
