...there is to the story. That in itself was a newsful event because since taking office one year ago, Mayor William Hale ("Big Bill") Thompson of Chicago had, up to last week, gone to his office only three times: once to be sworn in, once to handshake Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden, once to be photographed at his desk.

Dryly, vigorously he defended the right of a minority member to register opposition to a proposal which he, Chairman Madden of the Appropriations Committee, had endorsed.
