After be had concluded. Secretary Shaw remarked that he had had a sim ilar experience at Atlantic City. "AnJ Taft’a experience and my own,’ continued Mr. 8haw, “reminds me of a alory. A little while ago a roan of the name .of Isaacs was a candidate for alderman in Chicago. He called bn hla fritehd Solomon, one day. a. J asked for his support and, incidental ly, requested him to use his Jnfluenoe particularly with a ward leader named Brown. Solomon said he would call tip Brown on the telephone light away Getting Brown on the 'phone, he said: " 'I want you to Jo anything you can for my friend, Isaacs, who is a candidate for alderman in your ward. He la a very fine man and would be satisfactory to all and has their interest at heart.' “Isaacs thought that was a great recommendation gnd, thanking ihia friend Solomon, left much elated. "After be had gone, Solomon cal led Brown again, when he spoke to him aa follow*: •• ’I spoke to you awhile ago about that infernal scoundrel, Isaacs, who Is a candidate for alderman. Just forget what I told you. He Is no good, at all, and hasn't strength enough before the people of the ward to get it out of the wet. He would be a horrible misfit in that office.’ "A day or two later, a friend met Solomon on the street and remarked: •That was a mighty funny story I beard about your recommendation of Isaacs. When you cilled up Brown the first time you gave Isaacs a great send^fT; and about twenty minute* later you called him names and said he was no good at all. How about that?'

June 13.—Judge Pendleton today rendered his decision In the in junction suit brought by the Georgia Km and Coal Company agalnnt the State Prison Commission and Hamby & Toomer, lessees of a large number of convicts from the state.
