WON BY STRATEGY.
Harrison Again at Head of Cook
County Democracy.

Springfield, Ill, March BY a sem
satiOnaI bit of strategy today the con-
troll of the political auxiliary organiza-
ton known as the Cook County Democ-
raey was obtained by the adherents of
Mayor Carter H. Harrison. The victory
was achieved by a legal ruse. With a
demand for incorporation as the Cook
County Democracy, John Powers and
other friends of the mayor appeared
today before Secretary of State Rose
and showed that the charter held by
the opponents of the mayor had be-
come invalid for noncompliance with
the law regarding corporations to make
an annual report to the secretary Of
state. A license was thereupon issued
to Powers, who thus regained control
from which he had recently been GUST
ed by court decision upholding the an
ti-Harrison faction. The decision had
enjoined officers of the Harrison fac
ton from appearing at the meetings
with the Cook County Democracy. Sub
seQuently, the Harrison faction discov-
cred that the organization from which
they had been shut out had failed to
make annual reports to the secretary
of state under the law of 1901 and that
midnight last night was the latest time
that such a report could be made. Ac-
cordingly number of Harrison adher-
ents met privately yesterday and form
ed a new organization Which was
granted its license today.

SEVEN IN TWO DAYS.
County Attorney Hungate's Rec
ord for Jointist Convictions.

Seven convictions for illegal liquor
selling in two days is the present rec
ord of County Attorney Hungate.
Monday and Tuesday Hungate tried
eight jointists in the district court on
the charge of illegally selling liquor
The cases were the outcome of the in
QUESTION held by Hungate recently
The evidence in the cases was above
the average and the jury displayed a
disposition to bring in verdicts accord
ing to the evidence
The first case was against Fred Ross.
Frank Murphy. Pete Plamondon and
Turk Simmons. charged with run
ming joint at 514-516 Kansas avenue.
The jury lost no time in returning a
verdict of guilty. That trial was Mon
day. Tuesday morning the jury heard
the evidence in the case against James
Sheasley, charged with running a joint
in connection with the National bill
lard hall. Sheasley was convicted
Then Hungate went to work on Will
Hord, F. Simmons and Pete Plamondon
charged with running a joint in con-
nection with Mike Thompson's billiard
hall and gambling house. The fury
went out at o'clock Tuesday after
noon and did not reach a verdict until
last night. The foreman delivered it
to the court this morning. The jury
found Will Hord and F. Simmons
guilty, and Pete Plamondon not guilty.
This ends the joint cases for a time.
All the seven cases in which convic-
lions were made will be appealed to
the supreme court, but the cases are
weak, and unless all signs fail Sheriff
Lucas ought to have seven new board
ers pretty soon.

FAIRBANKS TO RUN.

publican presidential ticket for 1SO4 Will
read: Roosevelt and F'a1rbanks:
1t is widely believed in admlnlstra-
ton and congressional circles that sen
ator Fairbanks will be nominated 1or
Vice President. While the senator can
not be regarded as candidate IN the
sense that he will seek the nominal
ton. it is understood among his init
mate friends that he will permit the
Indiana Republicans to go ahead anu
present his name to the convention al
Chicago Many believe this is eQulVa-
lent to a nomination, as Indiana VIII
indorse and push the candidacy OF us
senior senator enthusiastically, ana
Republicans from other parts OF tne
country appear to be quite Wiling tnaI
Indiana and Mr.. Fairbanks should nave
the honor.
For several weeks Senator Fairbanks
has given serious consideration to the
question whether or not he WISHES 70
remain quiescent and permit his TRENDS
to press his name upon the convention.
and at last it is pretty well unoet-
stood among his cOnfidants that lnlS
is what he intends to do. He VIII not
ask anyone to favor him, and will ex-
ert not the slightest effort IN MS own
behalf. But if the Republicans OF ms
state choose to present his name ano
idea Mr. Fairbanks senatorial col
leagues who have talked with him on
this subject are sure he will offer no
objections. ,.+
friends in the Senate have urged MN
to take this course. They have pointed
out to him that in many respects ne
is the ideal candidate In geogTdphIca
location in ternperament and in stand
ing ing before the country. They also have
suggested to him that the Vice P5es 81,
dency is no longer to be considered an
undesirable Office, cort OF hftn Wneel'
or a shelf on which to place statesmen
who are not of much account or VINO
have outlived their usefulness. IN Iacs,
Of the vice Presidency of late years
has undergone a radical change, and
everyone now realizes the desirab1lity
in naming candidate for the vice
Presidency to have in mind the con
tingent possibility that he may DC
called to the Presidency itself.

The meeting is for the purpose of draw
ing up some propositions to be made at
the Thursday night meeting with the

Chief Wilmarth, of the fire depart

should be provided with a different
system of heating, still he does not
think that the occupants of the build

out in case of fire.
Chief Wilmarth says that the fire
drill at the school is excellent and that
the building could be emptied in a very
few moments. However, he thinks that
the heating system should be changed
Immediately for the safety of the build
