WILL RUN THE eRAF7ERs DOWN.
Milwaukee District Attorney May De-
velop Into Another Folk.


velop Into Another Folk.
Milwaukee, June 81. - District At
torney Francis E McGovern of Mil
waukee county may be the Folk of
Wisconsin. and the successor to Gov.
La Toilette, or he may be merely
starting out to nnearth the graft,
petty or otherwise. which has con
section of the state for years, with no
definite object.
Opinion on this subject is divided,
but yesterday McGovern declared that
he has proceeded far enough in his in
vestigation to venture the prediction
that what has so far been unearthed
in the line of official corruption is but
the suggestion of what is to follow.
Means Business.
So far in his administration of the
district attorneys office in following
up the graft inquiry, he has secured
many indictments and a number of
convictions. The convictions have
court, most of them being sent back
for new trials on technicalities, but
yesterday McGovern declared that be-
fore the present grand jury adjourns
the indictment of several of the men
who are supposed to have furnished
the money to aldermen and super
visors in consideration of their votes
will follow.
After the Big Ones.
This statement of Mr.. McGovern is
the most emphatic that has been made
since the commencement of MilWau
KEGS graft investigation which started
over year ago, and which, so far, has
resulted in the conviction of only one
Mike Dunn-on charge of receiv-
ng $1,000 for building permit.
The declaration of Mr.. McGovern
indicates that as far as he is con-
cerned the quest of the men who have
accepted two or three tons of coal or
an overcoat or so for their vote for a
bay windo privilege is at an end.
Would Have Been Immune.
Had the supervisors investigating
committee gone on with it's work,
there is no doubt that many of the Of
ficials who are expecting indictments,
| and who are preparing to take UP
their residence in the house of cor
rection or the pen. would have been
immune from punishment.
The supreme court of Wisconsin
has decided that any one testifying in
his own case before any inquisitional
body is immune from punishment, and
this has resulted in number of con-
victed gratters being freed by the SUI
preme court.
District Attorney McGovern scared
the supervisors into abandoning their
investigation and now proposes to fol
low his conspiracy charges.
Graft General.
That for years no business man has
been able to get permit through the
city council or the board of supervis-
ors without contributing to the peck.
I cts or stomachs of the officials has
been we'll known. There have been
| reports that the street railway fran
chise was not obtained in this city a
| few years ago without the expenditure
!; of large sums of money. In the mean
while the register of deeds of the coun.
| ty has resigned and made confess
| sion. and a supervisor has made one
which is said to involve many promi-
nent business men. The grand jury
meets to-day to resume the hearing of
| Seidel's confession, and it is said that
| indictments will be returned this
week.
