FOUR DAILY 3 AND MATTOON, ILLINOIS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY SMALL AND "BIG BILL" REACH AN UNDERSTANDING: Governor -and Mayor Decide to "Merge" Political Fortunes. BY LOUIS J. HUMPHREY. (1. N.

S. Staff Correspondent.) Springfield, Feb. Len Small and Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago again will travel the political highways locked arm in arm. This fact became known today following a long conference between the Chicago mayor and the governor at the executive 1 mansion which terminated shortly after midnight last night, with the announcement "we have come to a complete understanding." No Details Given Public. Details of the "understanding" were not made public, but it is generally admitted that Thompson will control state political appointments in Chicago, and that eventually his political rival, Fred Lundin, will be sHunted 1 to the sidelines.

This concession was considered a complete victory for Thompson, he having come here for the purpose of finding out "who's who" in Chicago. Added emphasis to this fact was given earlier in the day with the appointment by Small of John F. Cuneo of Chicago as commissioner, thus giving "Big Bill" control of the Lincoln park board. "I told the mayor," the governor declared after the conference broke up, "that I would confer with him and seek his advice on all things is interested in, so far as the state is concerned. We came to a complete understanding on everything.

We are working out the details with regard to legislation for Chicago and in other matters that have to do with the welfare of Chicago and the state of "The mayor has been my lifelong personal friend and political associate for many years, He is mayor of Chicago, and I will recognize him as such." Governor and Third Term. The mayor arrived here at 10:50 o'clock last night and went immediately to the governor's mansion. He returned to Chicago at one o'clock this morning. Senator Frank L. Smith, who has been denied a seat in the United States senate, accompanied the mayor here and is expected to remain several days for conferences with political leaders.

Rumor has it that' Smith will resign and again go before the people at the coming election and seek vindication, but he refused to confirm or deny this report. Following the conference between BIll" and Small, the rumor that the governor will be a candidate for third term was revived. While generally credited, the rumor could not be confirmed.

E. Garner on a charge of manslaughter, lodged by State's Attorney Lamon. The justice fixed the lad's bail at $5000 and he was sent back to jail to await the action of the grand jury at the February term of the Edgar county circuit court.

Want Ads Will Pay STUDENTS BEING AIDED THROUGH LOAN FUND Three Mattoon students attending college would not have been able to return to their studies for the second semester if it had not been for loans made to them from the Mattoon Students' Loan Fund. The three attended the first semester on their own resources. Two or three others in college who had been helped at the beginning of the first semester asked for additional loans, but were not accommodated because of a lack of funds. Helping the three students to return to school was due to money received from the Pan-Hellenic Club of Mattoon and to receipt of a final payment from a former patron of the fund, now at work teaching school. The Mattoon Students' Loan Fund is handled by permanent board of officials, including the president and secretary of the local school board, the treasurer of the Mattoon school district and the superintendent and principal of the high school.

The fund has been in existence for about eight years. Worthy students are made loans on presentation of notes signed by themselves and one ber of their family. The notes bear no interest while the students are attending college, but after the student leaves school they bear interest at the rate of six per cent. Fifteen or twenty persons are now attending college through aid from this fund. Some of the money has been paid out three or four times.

The fund receives donations each year from the high school graduating class. Several persons and organizaI'tions have made bequests to the fund. The Pan-Hellenic Club's gift which came a few days ago is one of several recelved from that organization. COUNTERFEIT SECURITY DEALERS GO TO TRIAL Springfield, Feb.
