Earle, pretty Chicago actress, has
invoked the assistance of Scotland
Yard to rid her of his attentions and
to enable her to live in London in peace
and safety.
Miss Earle declares that her wooer

the stage and become his wife, He has
shadowed her about London and
through the country and since last
Sunday has remained on guard in the
vicinity of her rooms in the Savoy
mansions. This persistent wooer has
written the actress telling his love in
dramatic language and informing her
that he is determined to follow her
wherever she may go. Meantime he
bothers her with messages of affection,
pleading for reconsideration of his case.
Miss Earle has been a London comic
opera favorite since the days when the
Belle of New York" became popular
in England. She has had her share Of
titled admirers, including the sultan Of
Johore. The ardent Englishman avows

CHICAGO, Sept. 1o.-Amid palatial

promenaders and members of the fash
ionable set stood aghast just before
noon to see the boulevard invaded by a
patrol wagon rapidly being converted
into van for the removal of the par
aphernalia.
The gilded resort of chance was To-
Gated at 1906 Michigan avenue, in one
of the handsomest residences on that
aristocratic thoroughfare. Four floors
three upper stories and a basement
were occupied by the institution, which
in every detail bore the imprint of re-
fined and luxurious taste and the un-
stinted expenditure Of money. Not
alone was this apparent in the lavish
display of rich furniture, costly hang
ported rugs and choice brio -brac, but
in the completeness of the sideboard
and cuisine. The very implements used
in the gambling operations were such
as to cause astonishment. Cards bear
ing the imprint of Partisan manufac-
turers were found on every side and
two roulette wheels were mute yet elo-
quent witnesses of the extent of pat
ronage that found its way to luxurious
1906. One of these wheels had been
dismantled and one portion was not
found.
Sufficient remains to lead the police
to believe that it is an imported affair
from Paris, capable of being manipu-
lated at the pleasure of the operator
through an electrical device. The dis
covery of the house was due to a ru-

CHICAGO, Sept. 10-"The develop
ments of the last twentyfou hours
constitute an open confession of the
robbery of the state institutions" said
Senator Mason today. His statement
was brought out by the fact that Hen
ry G. Clasen's suit against Gov. Yates
and other state officers to recover
money paid under the 5 per cent po-
litical assessment of state employees
lad been settled by the refunding of
the money. Mason continued:
Gov. Yates dares not not take the
witness stand and let me examine him
under oath fifteen minutes as to what
he has done with the money thus cor
ruptly taken from the state treasury.
When the newspapers charged, nearly
a year ago, that an assessment was be-
ing levied on state employees the Yates
administration denied it When evil
dence of the assessment accumulated
during the summer they assumed the
air of saying it was 'nobody's business
Then Clasen sued for his money. Three
lawyers were hired to crush him and
get his case thrown out of court as a
sign to the people that there was moth
ing in these assessment charges. Now
rather than let testimony be taken, and
especially rather than let Yates be eX-
amined under oath, they settled the
case.
Il know what he has done with part
of this money. 1t was used to corrupt
the primary ballot box of our party in
at least forty counties to secure the
state convention Endorsement of Yates
and Hopkins. I have given the names,
dates and places without any denial
from the governors appointees, whom
have charged with thus corruptly pol
luting the Republican primary ballot
box. Yates says he knows nothing
about it.
"The Pious Yates"
"Yates-the gentle, the tender, the
fearful, the pious Yates-is the first
governor of Illinois to disgrace the
state by diverting public funds to per-
sonal ends. Contrast his work with
that of Senator Cullom, who, when
governor, took pains to put a minority
member on every state institution
board so as to keep these institutions
out of partisan politics. Yates has
treated the state institutions as his
personal asset. The only answer by
the Yates gang to the direct and spe-
cific charges 1 have made is that l am
not a Republican.
II am not permitted by the Repub-
lican committee to speak for the ticket,
because l cannot and will not take the
stump and approve the robbery of the
deaf and dumb, insane, the blind and
the orphans to make Mr.. Hopkins SEN
ator and Mr.. Yates governor. Because
will not do this, because believe di-
version by Yates and his crowd of
100000 of state funds to affect con-
vention is just as wrong as the theft
of a loaf of bread, l am branded by
such men as Lorimer, Yates and Hop
kins as no longer a Republican"
Gov. Yates would say nothing today
about the political assessment scandal.

says that last Friday the revolutionists
made desperate attack on the out
skirts OF Santa Marta. The government
troops were overwhelmed and forced
to retreat, leaving behind them one
hundred dead. Immediately after the
withdrawal of the government forces
the rebels started to destroy the rail-
road tracks. They derailed several
trains at various points, demolishing
engines and cars, the latter being
chiefly fruit vans. Several lives We're
lost in these wrecks.
Saturday the revolutionists occupied
the banana district of Senega, where
they continued to wreck the railroad,
at the same time keeping up their ad-
vance towards Santa Marta. When
the Valencia sailed from Santa Marta
Monday the revolutionists were so near
the town that Capt Gronmeyer could
see the flashes of their guns Several
buildings in Santa Marta were then
blazing, having been ignited by the
few troops left there to oppose the at
tack of the revolutionists. The town
at the time was expected momentarily
to surrender.
HtrocitieS Sommitteo.
Officers of the Valencia say that hor-
rible atrocities were committed during
the fighting by the rebels who chiefly
used machetes. Almost all of the gov
ernment troops killed were found along
the railroad track, their bodies being
terribly mutilated.
Santa Marta is entirely cut off from
communication with outside points and
the residents of the port have sent an
appeal by sea to Colon for protection.
1t is feared that the revolutionists win
sack Santa Marta when they capture
it. The stores there are closed and the
greatest terror prevails.
The attack of the revolutionists was
entirely unexpected, and, owing to their
superior numbers, the resistance of the
government forces was half hearted.
Officers of the Valencia do not think
the Colombian government can get re-
Inducements into Santa Marta in time
to save the town.
