ON THE TRAIL OF DOODLE ALDERMEN
Astonishing State of Affairs Recently
Developed in Chicago.

Chicago, March 15.-The presence in
town for several days past OF two crack
New York detectives who have kept their
identity under cover, is believed to be as
sociated with the expressed determine
tion of a circle Of representative and
wealthy citizens to get at the bottom Of
the circumstances and conditions under
which the now notorious Doodle ordin-
ances were passed a couple Of weeks ago
Previous experience has demonstrated
that it would be little more than useless
to employ local detective talent for this
purpose. simply because there is hardly
a Chicago operative that is not known to
one politician or another, and the bare
suggestion that one agency was follWing
up the matter uuld be sufficient. on the
principal of set a thief to catch thief,
for boodlers to employ another agency to
keep track OF and circunvent the first
one.
All kinds Of stories are ahoat concern
ing the amount OF Doodle involved in the
two ordinances, the minimum figure men
toned being a quarter Of & million dol
lars, and the highest 100000. The latter
figure, although seemingly enormous,
would not be out of proportion to the val
ue of the ordinances to the companies in
corporated to use them, nor exorbitant as
compared with the sums paid for similar
legislation In the past. Two thosand dol
lars is known to have been divided up on
one occasion for a wide open street de-
molish ordinance. and in this transac-
ton several alleged 'prominent" citizens,
who are laying low In the present storm
of indignation, are said to have had
hand.
1t would not be assumed that the
Doodle aldermen would be enriched by-
pro rata division. There is said to be a
$4,000 grade, a $4,000 grade and SO on
down to the tail-end contingent, taken
in either as matter Of good nature or
to make sure surer and getting $1,000
for their share in the transaction.

lister admitted that his act had been
'undiplomatlc.' The entry OF the oc-
currence on the state departments rec
ords states such fact, and 1t is import
ant. as the records will form an official
history Of the occurrence
Minister Thurston today declined to
say whether he admitted it was undip-
lonatic. 1t was a remarka BILE admis-
sion for him to make, if he made it. un-
der the spell of Secretary Gresham $

admission from diplomat would for
ever disqualiTy him for future service in
his chosen field, and cover him with
everlasting disgrace. The records OF
the state department show that the Ha-
waiian minister admitted that he had
been guilty of an undiplomatic act. but
declined to comply with Secretary
