No Estimate Possible.
1t is impossible to make even an aD-
proXimate estimate of the total amount
of money which the police have extort-
ed from keepers of houses OF ill-fame

April, or as soon as the new tenderloin
began TO establish itself, a schedule o..

According to the story MOony told
the grand jury, the patrolmen collected
their regular So graft from the houses
on their beat in person. The sergeant
followed the same course, going in per
son to the houses of their dstrics
Some of them collected for their cap

red to collect themselves. The noto"-
ious kid" Sullivan. an ex-convict. was
one of Dinan's collection agents,
but the graft was so large that he had
TO employ others to help out.
DO the members of the police com

COLLINS BLAMED
Chicago Police Are Sorry They
Loaned Eddie Tate to
Peoria.
SPREAD NET TO RETAKE HIM
Believe He Rode Out of Still City IA
Automobile With Plenty of
Money in His Pocket.

Chicago, April 26.-In spreading 4
net for the recapture of Eddie Tate,
the gentleman burglar" who escaped
from st. Francis hospital in Peoria
Wednesday. the police force of Chicago
is endeavOring 10 make reparation for
the blunder committed by former Chief
of Police Collins when he loaned"
Tate to the Peoria authorities seven
weeks ago.
According to Collins, at the tima.
Tate was taken to Peoria as a favor
so he might be questioned about the
blowing up of the school boards safe
in Peoria and the destruction of the
evidence against former Superintend-
ent of Schools Newton c. Doughertv

Rides Away i'm Automobile.
1t is now the theory of the police
that the remarkable young criminal es-

and with plenty of money in his pock.
ct, headed for Chicago. The Chicago
police are watching all the entrances
to the city and are keeping tab on ali
of Tate's old haunts. They believe he
cannot escape detection here, becaus s.
he is of distinctive appearance and well
known.
City Attorney Westmire of Washing

telephoned that man he was positive

The information of the police 1

1t is believed by most of the mel
working on the case that Tate's wifi
engineered the escape by means of al

arranged plan is indicated by the fac
that on the day of his escape Tate r,

IOWA GIRL TAKES POISON AND DIES:
JUST FORFU ONLY KNOWN REASON

Sioux City, Iowa, April 26.-Claim-

wanted to see how it would seem to
watch the blood stop in the ends OF
her fingers and the nails turn blue,
Carrie Mattison, aged 81 years, yester-
day took strychnine and died within an
hour.
In the best of spirits, the girl went
about the home of Frank Richardson,
where she lived, and about noon went
to the cellar On emerging she re-
marked that she had taken a dose of
that poison down there

Doubling the statement. Mrs. Richard
son questioned her, but noticed that the
girl was frothing at the mouth. A ply
sician was called and every effort was
made to find why the young woman
should take poison.
Just before she passed away, she said
with her last breath:
Il did it just for fun; l wanted to
see what death was like"
The dead girl was the daughter of r.
H. Mattison of Battle Greek, Iowa, n
farmer. She appeared in good spirits,
and had no love affairs or disappoint-
ments.

STOLE FOR YEARS
Levi c. Lincoln, Machine and

ciaI, is Exposed.
RHODE ISLAND SENSATION
Poured a Fortune and $4,000 He En-
bezzIed Into Wall Street-Sup-
posed to Be Rich.

Providence, r. l., April 20 Levi
Cook Lincoln, who for II years has
been secretary-treasurer and general
manager of the WOonsocket Machine &
Power company, confessed yesterday
that he had stolen $4,000 of the com
.pany's funds and poured it into Wall
street
The issuing and discounting of notes.
averaging about $4,000 each, was the
Fembezzlement system Lincoln followed.
Discovery of the thefts and his con-
fession startled WoOnsocket, which un-
til yesterday had regarded Lincoln as
an upright man and rich enough to be
safe from the temptation to steal.
Now it has been disclosed that his
pursuit of wealth in Wall street had
left him comparatively poor as well as
an embezzler.
Tells Directors of Thcfts.
Lincoln made his confession to the
directors of his company. They asked
for his resignation and got il. The Es-
tabrooke company and two Woonsocket
banks of which he was a director also
got his resignation.
So far no warrant for Lincoln's ar
rest has been sworn out. He has turn
ed over his home, one of the most pre-
| tentious in Woonsocket. and other prop
erty he owned 10 the company Abou;
$4,000 is the value attached to these
| The cOmpany's stockholders will have

Company Robbed for Years.
Some time ago the Estabrook com.
pany offered to purchase the stock OF
the power company for S15515 pei
share. LincOln's peculations were dis
covered when the audit was made by
accountants preparatory TO the transfer
of the stock on Saturday of this week.
Early this year the power company
issued 100000 worth of new stock
and Lincoln. according to his own state
ment, utilized $4,000 of this to retire
some notes he had issued, some OF
which he had put out as long ago as
1890. There are still seven forged
notes of $1,000 each in local banks ant
other cities bearing the name George
Bachelor" president of the company
which he admits he forged. The Fidel
lity & Deposit company of Baltimore i:

cred unopened by Chief of Police Will
son of Peoria. Tate told the chief the
letter contained s. and laughingly Of
fered to divide with him. Tate later
showed Policeman Mike Barrett 5000
in bills. 1t is now believed the letter
was a signal and that Tate followed
instructions to get away.
Mrs. Tate was in Peoria for a week
and was allowed to see the prisoner
any time she wanted to without Il
guard being present. She came back
to Chicago two weeks ago. Tate
boasted to the officers in Peoria that
she had aided him several times to
get out of jails. and in confidence -
his physician said it would not be hard
for him to get away.
Helped by Eddie Fay.
According to the latest information
of the police Tate's accOmplice in the
safe blowing was none other than the
notorious Eddie" Fay, postoffice rob-
ber and jailbreaber extraordinary.
Like Tate, Fay is a gentleman" with
a long record of spectacular exploits;
He has not been in the hands of the
police since he deftly carved hole IN
