The latest story is that Secretary Hoover will be transferred from the Depart: ment of Commerce to the Department of Agriculture, although Mr. Hoover has made the statement that he can serve best imhis present position. Pre-- vious to the selection of Ambassador Kellogg as the successor of Secretiry of State Hughes( it was assumed in many quarters that Mr. Hoover would be given this job. With his wide knowledge of foreign affairs, he is said to be especially qualified for a port-- folio of this kind. Mr. Hoover is now occupied in reducing the present spread of prices between producer and consumer in all lines to permit mark-- led reduction in prices without loss of wages or prfits. He will appoint a representative committee to work out plans to this end. He Fas placed the Department of Commerce upon an ef-- ficient' basis during the last four years. The Isle of Pines controversy which has been revived after twenty years is a matte rof more than passing inter-- est. Senator Borah, Chairman of the Genate Foreign Affairs Commituee, is opposing the ratification of the treaty which would cede the Isle of Pines to Cuba. The original treaty was draft-- ed by John Hay, but remained in a pigeon hole in the Senate Committee since 1904. The present secretary of State is desirous of having the treaty ratified, but his position is somewhat weakened by the opposition of Sen-- ator Borah. It is said that ten thous-- and American citizens have invest-- ments in the Isle of Pines aggregating $15,000,000. They claim that the mon ey was invested on the assumption it would remain American territory. It is for the Senate to devcide whether the Island is a Cuban of American possession. © The House has clea}. its caleudar of important appropclaiilon measures. The Senate will give serlous attention to this legislation when the Isle of Pines treaty is scttled. BY WILLIAM DALEY N. E. A.

Detective of McQueeney A cy Taken by Aurora Po The chief has been on the Aurora force for 37 years and has been chief about 22 years. It was he who dug up much of the evidence in the sen-- sational Lincoln murder case. He is regarded as one of the most efficient policg officers in the state, proved al-- so by the fact that he continues on as c'l':,l:! during succeeding administra-- tions. * The chief testified in the »Robert Jeske case and told of the McQueen-- ey "detective" having been arrested in Aurora in the fall of 1923, thrown into jail and held there for some time after officer Wood, who also testified, had found him drunk and acting dis-- orderly. On the stand Jeske did not deny he had been drunk when arrest-- ed but insisted he had been collectig ervidece against blindpiggers. -- Atty. Alex Beaubien, in argument for the defense, pictured to the jury the case of a "detective" coming be-- fore a local court in his plea for dam-- ages with "unclean hands," pointing out that while he (Beaubien) believes fully in the enforcement of the dry law, that he feels a man who is try-- ing to run down blindpiggers should himself be clean in actions instead of beipg placed in jail by city police on the charge of doing that which he is hired to prevent others--from doing.
