West of Chicago'as secretary of the intertor, at the December session of the senate, loomed here today when it was definitely learned opponents of the new cabinet member, who was given a recess appointment by Presi-- dent Coolidge, will carry their--fight to the senate committee on public lands. The nomination will be referred to this committee, as a matter of course, upon the convening of the senate. In-- cluded in its membership are senators representing nearly every shade of party and factional opinion in the senate, including leading supporters of both Secretary Hoover and Gov. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, is the ranking republican member of the committee.

The senator will return here within a few weeks and will then publicly announce his stand, it was stated at his office. dent's choice for secretary of the in It was very gratifying to those present that Rev. Shull, after forty years absence from Ivanhoe, should take the time out of his busy life to write the little poem enclosed in his letter. E. M. Averill, who will be re-- membered for his interest arid help in baseball while teaching at Ivanhoe sent a base ball bat turned out in his factory, for. special use at the reunionil but it arrived a day lats and will be initiated next year. Chan Shuman, while on & vaca-- tion, concocted a fanciful narrative about the reunion which came into the hands of the secretary, and as Chan wouldn't read it himself, at emony, however, was not omitted as Judge Decker read the list of those who had during the past year gone to their final homecoming, and after a few remarks about these departed friends called on the entire assem-- blage to rise while Reverend Jevyne delivered a memorial tg:a{er.
