The Chicago Boodlers

CHICAGO, March 23.-Cullerton, the
acknowledged leader of Chicagos alder
men, was kept on the waiting bench in the
grand jury room today, for two hours, and
then told to come again tomorrow. No
further indictments were returned
to-day. The continued unaccountable
absence of Secretary Soule of the
Jefferson Electric road, and Pres
ident Billings, of the Gas trust
seems to be acting as decided hamper to
the prosecution. The political aspect of
matter is also attracting attention. The
nearness of the aldermRnic election and
the fact that all of the indicted men are of
one party is harped upon, and specula-
ton is also INDUCED in as to the
effect the matter is having upon States
Attorney Longnecker's chances for the
gubernatorial nomination. Altogether the
outlook tonight is slightly disappointing.
