ton with the war of the Civic federation
on gamblers and gambling in Chicago
Evidence has been submitted that Mayor
John Z. Hopkins has accepted money
from keepers of gambling houses in OK
change for police protection of gaming
resorts. Two attempts, 1t is also shown
today. have been made to aSSassinate the
Judge before whom the gambling cases
are brought and from whom the gambling
fraternity knows it can expect no mercy
when a Jury pronounces them guilty.
1t is said another body than the grand
Jury and the Civic federation will eX
explode big bomb in the anti-gambling
agitation The Trade and Labor assembly,
1T is reported, is to start crusade
against heightened gambling. The board
of trade, it is said. is to be attacked,
and Washington park race track is also
a place where rich people bet their
money Club walters, it is claimed. will
reveal secrets, and card games on Michi
gan boulevard as well as on Clark street
will be given publicity.
During the investigation today Detect
i've Matt Pinkerton swore that he had
positive evidence showing that Mayor
Hopkins had received money from the
gamblers Mr.. PinkertOn said the money
was given by the gamblers with the I'M
Outstanding that they We're not to be in
terfered with. The matter was not gone
into thoroughly, but will be made the sub
ject of further investigation.
1t was reported that not only two but
several attempts have recently been made

judicial capacity has ordered the destruc-
ton of paraphernalia taken in raids upon

ACCUSE LUMBER KINGS.

Insurance Men Charge Them with Caus-
ing Wisconsin and Minnesota Fires.
Chicago, Ill, Sept 2S.-President w.
J. Littlejohn Of the Underwriters asso-
citation Of the Northwest, who in an adj
dress before that organization declared
that the recent forest fires were ordered
started by lumber kings, in an interview
today stated that his charges were based
on investigations made under his dlrec-
ton.
These fires have occurred every year"
said Mr.. Littlejohn, and it was apparent
that there must be some motive for the
incendiarism. Our company accordingly
sent men into Michigan and Wisconsin
this summer to make Investigations, and
they secured sufficient evidence to satisfy
me.
In my own mind some Of the big lum-
Der dealers fired the forest IN order to
hide the evidences Of their timber steal
ings The evidence is not sufficiently
strong to warrant charging any particular
men with the deeds, however.
Il am informed that the states OF Mich
igan and Wisconsin have appointed secret
commissions to investigate the hres. IN
til we know that such is the case and
what are the results to follow the work
Of the state authorities the insurance or
CARNATIONS will do nothing. There is a
possibility, however, that in the event OF
the failure of these commissions to de
vel0p the matter some Of the insurance
unions will take up the prosecution them
selves.
L am confident that the state authors
ties can secure all the necessary evidence
if they try, for the slight investigation
have already made cOnVlnces me tnat
there are wealthy lumbermen who should
be made to suffer for the horror and de-
struction of this years fires.
