Chief Grubbs request ed some time agqjt.hat he be placed on the retired list, due to illness which kept him in bed for a number of months. His request was granted by council Saturday night. Chief Grubbs had served as chief of the department for 11 yoars, having been appointed Acting chief in 1917. In 1920 he was elected chief. During his term of office Chief Grubbs devot- cd his entire efforts toward placing the police department on an efficient basis.

Future Delivery Unless Seller Is Producer, Etc. Washington, D/ C.,,Jan. 14.—Con- A* " gressman Butkrfr B. Hare, of South Carolina, had a conferenoe today with experts of the department of agricul ture relative to a proposed amend ment to the cotton futures act. He insists that the act should carry a pro vision similar to that contained in the act regulating future trading in grain whtceby the department is required to investigate and prosecute persons charged with unlawful manipulation of grain prices: “The law should be made to apply J;o cotton just as well as to other speculative crops,” said the congressman, “and there should be an other provision prohibiting the sale of cotton for future delivery unless the seller is the producer, or has in his factual or constructive possession the actual physical cotton covered by such s-rlo ” When a^ked if a bill em bodying these ideas had already been introduced, Representative Hare said that it had not, but that it is now be ing drafted apd will be introduced just as soon as completed.
