WHO OWNS
 DAISY GOWN?

New York, July 22.-Ownership of Miss Daisy Gown, one of the most familiar women of the metropolis, whose picture stares at the passerby from a thousand billboards, will be decided as the result of the suit be- fore supreme court today. Harry Levey, a dyer and cleaner, who al leges that the picture of Miss Daisy is his local trade mark and that he has spent over million dollars in giving her publicity and now has an advertising appropriation of $1O0,000 year, has asked the court to issue an injunction against Her man Kempf, q former employe. It is alleged that Kempf has establish ed a rival die and cleaning plant and has used as a sign, picture of a woman similar in appearance to the famous Daisy Gown, substituting the name Miss Dainty Gown" At torneys for Kempf appeared before Justice Platzek of the Supreme Court today in an attempt to show cause why the injunctAn asked by Levey should not be granted.
 Levey is known in his profession to every theatrical man and woman in America and bears the proud title By ointment-cleanse to Amer ica's leading actresses.

Though quiet unosten- tious man, he took some part in municipal affairs, and was for a year or two member of the common council, and for several years a mem- Der of the school board
 He leaves behind him two brothers and three sisters. all of whom are residents of the state of Minnesota John McIlravie, Redwood Falls, Mrs. Thos.

Chicago, April 19--The investiga- tion of the police graft and bribery charges, it is annonced will be a sweeping one. It is charged; and has been practically poved, that not only were the members of the police force coerced by threats of dismissal, into contributing to ex-Mayor Dun- ne's political campaign funds, but that the members of the force them selves have been guilty of accepting bribes, right and left, as considera- tion for either protecting or winking at crime. Hundreds of policemen and others have been summoned, and it is believed that the exposure of the most rotten state of affairs ever known in the city will be the result. The new broom promises a perfectly clean sweep.
