SOLD STOLEN PASSES
Two Chicago Ticket Brokers Arrested
on Serious Charge

Chicago, Dec. 6.-After an investiga-
ton covering almost two weeks, secret
service officials of the Chicago &
Northwestern railway caused the arrest
of Louis Slime and Frank L. Rice, tick
ct brokers, 200 Clark street, who, it is
charged, had been selling passes, tick
cts, and mileage of the company that
the officials alleged, had been stolen
from the general offices. Officials of
the company were unable to state just
how much money the ticket brokers
had received through the sale of tick
cts, but the loss is estimated all the
way from $1,000 to $4,000 Many of
the passes, it is said, were found in the
possession of Slime and Rice. The
man who sold the tickets to the forok-
ers has not been arrested. The passes
were signed by the superintendent Of
the dining car department and were is
sued to the department in book form
for the use of its employees. Officials
Of the company did not notice the ex-
ceSsive use of these passes until scores
of them had been used. The brokers,
it is said, had sold them for long trips
and it was estimated that revenue of
from 81 1000 to 1000 had been diverted
through the sales. The fact that one
pass was frequently made to read good

A JUDICIAL SCANDAL
CORRUPT OHIO JUDGE AND
LAWYER.
SENATOR BURKE DISBARRED
Cleveland Attorney Found Guilty Of
Gross Violation of Professional
Ethics-Judge Bellenbaugh May Be
Impeached 10y the Buckeye Legisla-
ture-Question as TO Jurisdiction.

Cleveland, Dec. 4.-The report OF the
trial committee of the Bar associa ton
on the disbapment proceedings against
Senator Vernon H. Burke, was pre-
sented at special meeting of the as
ISOLATION Saturday. The report says in
part:
I'VE find Judge Bellenbaugh, while
acting as judge of said court intro
duced and sent 20 Burke, Mrs. Edith
Manning; that Burke performed serv-
ices for her in connection with the set
Element of a claim instituted by her
against woman for alternating the at
fections Of her husband in connection
with the preparation and hearing of
the divorce case against her husband
and that Burke received from Mrs
Manning for these services about
$500"
The committee also made the follow
ing recommendations
'First-That Vernon H. Burke be ex-
PEELED from the Cleveland Bar associ-
alton
"Second-That the secretary of the
association be directed to present a
copy of these findings to the committee
on investigation, to be treated as a
complaint in writing authorizing such
proceedings against Judge Frank E.
Dellenbaugh as they may deem proper.
'Third-That the secretary of the as
ISOLATION be directed to present a copy
of this report to the circuit court of
| Cuyahoga county for such action in the
premises as the court may deem
| proper"
It is regarded as doubtful whether
anything can be done with Judge
! DellenSbaugh. He can only be re-
moved from the bench by impeachment
proceedings before a higher court and
inasmuch as the acts charged against
him were committed, if at all, while he
was serving as judge by appointment
and inasmuch as there was an interim
between that erm and the one for
which he was elected and is now serv-
ing, the legislature, it is claimed
would have no Jurisdiction
