The suit, flled in circuit €ourt in De- cember, 1920, after the bitter Illinois republican primary campaign of that year, asks damages of $10,000,000, al- leging that published charges against the financial part of Mayor Willlam Hale Thompson's administration had impaired the city’s credit and ham- pered the conduct of municipal busi- ness. A similar suit has been filed Daily News. In each instance the city sued in its corporate capacity. 3 Thirty-Six Articles Cited. Thirty-six news items or editorials, published by the Tribune between June 15 and September 15, 1920, are cited by the city attorneys as tks basis for the suit. Many of them clared flatly that the city wus “broke.’ paying city employas. In meveral in- stances it was staled that the city treasury faced a huge deficit, and one item quoted Lieut..Goy. Oglesby, a candidate for the gubernatorial nomi- nations, as fixing this figure at $16, 000,000. None of these publications, the city’s declaration charged, was published with good motives, but to promote the political and financial interests of the newspaper nd certain other persons and corporations, especially certain public utility corporations as- sociated with the defendant and act- ing in co-operation with it.” Yt was charged that the publica- tions were designed to give the im- pression that the city was unworthy of credit and that it would be dan- gerous to invest in its bonds or to enter into contracts with it for the gale of materials, labor or supplies. Basis of Damage Shown. To show the basis of the alleged damage, the declaration sets fortk that in its activities on behalf of & population of 3,000,000 . the _city operates property worth $350,000,000. The document’s list of this property includes the Chicago city hall, 39 po- lice stations, 140 fire engine houses. more than 250 motor vehicles, 1 75 bridges, 2,112 miles of streets, with much apparatus used in main- taining them: a water works system, with six cribs in Lake Michigan and ten pumping stations on shore, a mu- nicipal tuberculosis sanatorium and “many other properties of great value.” - 1t is averred that the materials and labor necessary to operate these properties cost $50,000,000 a year and that the city also has to purchase about $7,000,000 worth of new prop- erty every year, exclusive of school property, which additions are made largely through the medium of com- petitive bids. “Good financial credit” is named as a necessity for conduct- ing the municipal business, and it is alleged that whatever injuriously af- fects the city's credit results in its having to pay higher prices for its materials and restricts the number of competitive bids. The declaration charges that the Tribune attacks on the city finances causéd persons, firms or corporations who otherwise would have bid to refrain from do- ing so. Paper Makes Statement. The Chicago Tribune gave out tfie {following statement last night in re- gard to the suit against it: “At the time of filing this suit the city hall machine controlled the may- or's office of Chicago, the Chicago city council and the newly elected |governor. | “It had made its plans, which after- ward proved successful, to elect the spegker of the house of representa- tives and to control both branches of the Illinois legislature.

The approximate cost to make this bag accord- ing to quality of beads -and materials used is from $7.50 to $10.50. This beautiful Bag is one of the most inquired-after models of the entire season. Note the pouch shape designed in beads, then trimmed with looged fringe of beads. Then note the two beaded rings, one of which ships down the neck, and closes the pouch. The cost of materials for this bag Ranges from $6.00 to $12.00, according to quality of ma- terials used. _Exclusive stores ask as much as three times the cost of materials for this new novelty. o : cuctions.

IARNS OF SCHENE T0 CONTROL FO0D Grocers’ Association Official | Says “Big Five” Are Seeking Combine. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 15.—Sylvan L. Stix, treasurer of the Natlonal ‘Wholesale Grocers’ Association, in be- half of its 4,000 members, last night issued a statement charging that the “big five” meat packers of Chicago again were attempting to obtain con- trol of the entire general food supply of the country. He also asserted that apparently the “big five” would have “the active sup- port of the Attorney General's office in scrapping the governmental restric- tions that were thrown around the ‘big five’ by the Wilson administra- tion after years of public agitation.” He expressed fear that within a week Attorney General Daugherty might set aside those provisions of the gox.- | entered | ernment’s ‘“consent decree,” into with the packers in 1920, where- by the “big five” agreed to restrict themselves to the handling of meat and meat products. Says Idea Is Unthinkable. “The idea that the Department of Justice of the United States should an enormous, compact food trust to dominate if not monopolize all of the nation’s foodstuffs is unthinkable,” said Mr. Stix. “The National Wholesale Grocers' Association hears that the Attorney General has been won over to this strange attitude because of his sym- pathy for conditions that have been alleged to exist in California. He has received an application purporting to represent the views of certain California canners, indicating that an ‘emergency’ exists, and that unless the ‘big_five’ meat packers are allowed to buy and pove their crops the growers and consumers will be great- 1y injured.” Denies Emergency Exists. Mr Stix then denied that an emer- gency existed, asserting that Cali- fornia crops were being moved through usual channels, and also de- nied that the “big five” by the “con- sent decree” were at present pre- vented from buying and marketing the erops. “In the first place,” he said, “the ‘consent decree’ has never been in ef- fect, is not now in effect, and will not be until February 27. The ‘big five’ are entirely free at this time to move the California crops.” —_— NAMED FOR CONGRESS. LAl A. Piatt Andrews Nominated by Bay State Republicans. BOSTON, September 14.—Col. A.

Hugh Keppell Bethell, military attache of the British embassy at Washington, was among the notables to sail on the steamer Aquitania bound for Cherbourg and Southamp- ton. Others were Count Teleki, former Hungarian premier, who has been lec- turing at Willlams College, and Countess Teleki; _ Count Laszlo deaths are expected momentarily by hospital physicians. It was the second serious fire at the plant within a month. In the first blaze five persons lost their lives and damage to property was estimated at $1,500,000. The financial loes yester- day was comparatively small. Yesterday's fire is believed by offi- cials of the company to have been caused by a loose connection in one of the tubes leading from a naphtha still to a nearby vat. The hot oil pouring from this leak, it was said, came in contact with the flames from the furnaces beneath the stills and resulted in the explosion. “There were sixteen stills, each equipped with a furnace for the heat- ing of the ofl from which is taken the naphtha,” said Edwin R. Cox, as- sistant treasurer. “A connection in one of these stills through which the distilled fluid was passing parted for some reason that has not been de- termined. This caused the fluid to run out in such a way that some of it reached the furnace at the bottom of the structure, and the explosion followed instantly. About thirty men | were employed at the time operating the stills. Those on the upper levels| were caught in the tongues of flames | and many of them had little chance. “Men on lower levels or at the other At Oppenheimer’s Shop Unique, 8th ot E N.W.
