" Thisvis the latest development in the ' strenuous battle over posses sion for Chicago schools and will be followed by additional fights in the courts. It leaves the schools in possession of the board appoint ed by the mayor, who was elected both times chiefly on the school issue, so there is room for the as sumption that the present board meets the approval of a majority of the citizens. Today's action is the result of the ousting of Dr. Charles E. Chad scy.. The board that was ousted by Mayor Thampson had brought Dr. Chadsey here from Detroit and installed him as superintendent. To prevent raids on the board's of fices, detectives were employed, to guard the rooms, but there were some ugly scenes at board meet ings and elsewhere. Dr. Chadsey never took any part in the bicker ings.

Mayor Thompson was present in court today when sentence was passed upon his school board mem bers. He refused to comment on the action other than to remark: "They aren't in jail yet." Judge Scanlan has had the case under. advisement for several months. It has been pushed vigor ously by.

MANY FEEL NOMINATION EASILY ACCOMPLISHED Anti-Administration Leaders Fear Stampede Willing to Compromise on Cox, Marshall Or Clark if Palmer looses Out. By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Chicago Trlhnne-OmaAat Bee leaned Wire, board Convention Special, Pueb lo, Colo., June 22. The enigma of the White House and the mystery cf McAdoo have keyed to a high pitch the interest and speculations of the hundreds of democrats jour neying to their national convention at San Francisco. , Whether President Wilson is actu ally a receptive candidate for a thirt' term and whether his son-in-law William Gibbs McAdoo may not, de spite his positive withdrawal, be nominated after all, are the major topics of discussion in the informa club car and smoking compartment caucuses of lbe delegates. As the days pass without any word from the White House to dispel the wide spread impression that the presi dent's attitude toward the nomina tion is a receptive one, the predic tion is heard with increasing fre quency that if Mr.N Wilson, really wants the honor by the time the vot ing stage is reached, the convention undoubtedly will accommodate him. Delegates who are hoping and pray ing that the president will thrust aside the crown with no uncertain gestures readily concede that the convention might easily be stam peded to the renomination of Mr. Wilson. Strong for Palmer. "We arey for Palmer," said an anti-administration leader from file midwest. "Cox would be accepta ble to us. We would be willing to compromise on Tom Marshall or Champ Clark and our friends east and west are strong enough to block the nomination of any man we do not like." "That is, you can do anything except stop the renomination of the president?" I suggested, - ' "That's about it, T gucss." be re ptitd. "ThotTgh; of course, rwe should not want to prevent his re nomination if he wants' it. -We could win handily with Wilson. We don't like him much, but ' we ad mire him and conceded his great ness. Looks very much to me as if he is willing and if that's so, look out for a Wilson stampede in the convention." The only certainties of the situa tics seen by the delegates are: -"The possibility of the renomina tion of the president will continue a primary factor in the deliberations of the convention unless Mr. Wil son definitely removes himself from the reckoning in a message to the gathering or to one of his spokes men on the scene. ' McAdoo Out of Race. McAdoo is definitely out of it unV less the president should eliminate himself. In that event there would arise strong possibility of a stam pede to McAdoo despite his refusal to permit presentation of his name to the convention. Every scrap of information concerning the real at titude of the president is being eagerly sought by the delegates and their leaders.

Allied Council Decides To Wage War Against Ottoman Nationalists New York Timea-rhleaao Tribune Cable, topyrifcht l'i. Boulogne, June 22. The only def inite decision reached in the allied council at Boulogne was to niake war on the Turlc" nationalists ?nd to enforce the Versailles treaty. The first action will be undertaken by the Greeks, who, however, are forbidden to pass a certain line not made public. But certainly it is iar enough from Constantinople to pre vent the Greeks from entering-iliat city. As compensation the Greeks will get a mandate for, or definite annexation of Smyrna. Although Premier Millerand re fused to allow the amount fixed as indemnity which Germany must pay to be announced,' it is certain it is 120,000,000,000 gold marks ($25,000, 000.000). The Russian question was dis cussed, but was left much up in the air. England agreed not to take Rus sian gold, leaving that as security for Russia's debt to France.

San Francisco, Tune 22. The temblor , that shattered Inglewood, Los Angeles county, last night was southern California's second experi ence with earth shocks within three years.

No earthquake has occurred in California in recent years, how ever, approachirfg the severity of the disaster that was visited on San Francisco on. April 18, 1306, when the city was. laid in ruins through the combined effects of the earth disturbance and fire. Laymen familiar with causes of earthquakes in this state ascribe last night's disturbance in southern California to slipping of the strata in the principal geological fault ex tending along the coast, range mountain's from 1 a point on the northern , California coast about 200 miles north of San Francisco to the Gulf of Lower California. This fault follows the coast line closely for a distance of about 100 miles south of San Francisco when it swerves inland approximately 20 miles and gradually extends fur ther eastward, traversing Los An geles, Riverside and San Diego counties; City Club Takes Cue From Bee's Platform On Civic Improvement Interest in civic and state im provements as suggested among The Bee's editorial policies was shown at a dinner held by the City club at Hotel Castle yesterday.
