SCANDAL IN POLICE FORCE
CHICAGO PATROLMAN is CON.
VICTED OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Held up Man While on Duty--Big
Shake Up in Force to
Follow.

Chicago, Sept. 20-The biggest po-
lice sensation of months came Thurs
day in the conviction for highway rob-
berry Of John C. Mckay, a former pa
trolman. Mckay, while on the force
and in full Uniform, held up and robbed
Frank JacokoWsky.
The scandal has shaken the whole
police force of Chicago But the
amazing facts disclosed by McKay's
conviction are only emphasized by the
conviction of John Scanlon, alias John
Leonard, of larceny by bailee while
policeman.
Both men gained the force in the
same batch of extra policemen that
were railgoaded into uniforms several
months ago.
The holdup was one of the most
brutal in the history of South Chicago
police work. The victim was declared
to have been intoxicated when he was
attacked by the policeman and anOth-
er man. He was on his way home,
beWiIdered and befuddled by the liquor
he had consumed. He met Mckay at
Commercial avenue and Eighty-third
street
Where do | Iive?" he asked.
I'll show you" said the policeman.
Mckay and his companion, James
O'Bricn, stood on either side of their
intended victim and walked him down
South Chicago avenue to Eighty-sev-
enth street. Suddenly, while they still
held the mans hands, Mckay attacked
hitm. The policeman beat and kicked
JacOkOwski until he fell to the side
walk in a semi-unconsciOus condition.
He was then robbed of $133 and left
in the street.
Hours afterWard the man staggered
into the South Chicago police station
and complained that he had been held
up and robbed by policeman.
Detectives were sent out, ,fbut it was
days before a clew to McKays identi-
ty was discovered. When he was fin
ally confronted by Jacokowsky, the
victim could not identify him. He
had been so brutally beaten that he
could not plainly remember the cir
cumstances of the assault. Later Nc
Kay was again, arrested and after be-
ing put through "sweatbox' proceed
ings confessed.
Mckay is making a bitter fight. He
managed to have execution of the
sentence suspended while he makes a
plea for new trial. The police, in the
meantime, will fight it to the last.

RACE FOR WHEAT TRAFFIC
FOUR RAILROADS CONTEST FOR
CANADIAN BUSINESS.
Canadian Pacific Will Meet the Grand
Trunks Invasion by Extending
NorthWard.

Calgary, Alberta, Sept. 20.-The Ca
madam Pacific railway has announced
that it will meet the proposed invasion
of it's territory by the Grand Trunk
and the Canadian Northern by run
ming an extension of it's own north
from Lethbridge into the heart of the
wheat country that the other roads
are preparing to cross.
This means that four railroads have
begun the most exciting race of rail
road building in the history of Canada,
with the territory east of this city as
the goal.
The increasing Importance of the
southern Alberta winter wheat crop,
which is grown largely by American
farmers who have emigrated from the
states, is responsible for this sudden
activity, and the story of the chain of
events leading up to the Canadian Pa
cific's announcement forms a vivid
chapter in the romance of railroad
mapmaking. The country that was
once sold for two elk and two black
beaver" that no builder thought worth
transportation facilities twenty-five
years ago, is the origin of this traffic
that is being struggled for by four rail-
way lines.
The Canadian Pacific was first in
the field, and for years handled the
entire grain crop of southern Alberta,
then worth less than s1,000,000. When
the Grand Trunk decided to build
west to the coast it's officers saw that
it would have to have some of this
traffic, and so the Grand Trunk an
nOunced that it would construct a
branch line from the North Saska-
tchewan river to Calgary. This was
followed by rumors that the Canadian
Northern intended running an exten-
sion down to Calgary, somewhat west
of the Grand Trunk route. Then
James ]. Hill set everyone by the ears
with the announcement that he was
going to join the contest by bringing
in the rails of the Great Northern.

AMERICAN CITIES A DISGRACE
Rear-kdmiraI Chadwick Scores Graft
and Misgovernment.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 20.--At the con-
vention of the League of American
municipalities at the jamestown expo
sition Rear Admiral French E. Chad
wick, United States navy, spoke in eX-
planation and advocacy of the New
port (R. L. system of municipal gov
ernment, and devoted a portion of his
address to a comparison of American
and European forms of city admins
tration, declaring that the American
people had much to learn in this re-
spect.
american towns as a rule, he said,
have simply been the subjects of eX-
ploitation through a long series of
years for the benefit of seekers after
political power or for what we have
come to call graft. The situation which
we are attacking is one of unparal-
leled national disgrace"

LABOR LEADER IS
STRANGELY missing
mike" DCNNELLY WHO CON-
QUOTED FAMOUS CHICAGO
STRIKE CANNOT BE FOUND.
FEAR SLUGGING HAS
IMPAIRED HIS MIND
Merciess Beating Given Him During
Labor Trouble Added to New Wor-
res May Have Unbalanced His
Reason, His Friends Fear.

Chicago, Sept 20.-There are anx-
ious hearts in "Packingtown' and in
the University of Chicago settlement
over the strange disappearance of
Mike" DOnnelly, the leader of the
Inflated stockyards strike of three
years ago.
Donnelly disappeared from his home
in Kansas City four weeks ago, and
it is believed that he is wandering
somewhere in state of mental semi
darkness, recurrence of the affiic-
ton which visited him once before as
result of a merciless slugging given
him at Federation Of Labor election
by men said to have been members of
the skinny" Madden gang.
His friends held meeting here
Wednesday night" said Miss Mary
Mcdonald of the University of Chi
cago settlement. 1--WE decided that
the facts should be given to the pub
lie in the hope that some one will rec
ognize Donnelly and tell us of his
whereabouts.
Came to Settle Trouble.
"Our understanding is that Mr..
DOnnelly, who had been elected busi-
ness agent of the sheep butchers in
Kansas City, had some dispute there
with SchWarzchild & Sulzberger and
started for Chicago to take the mat
ter up with the main house here.
That was four weeks ago, and not a
trace of him has been found
'Schwarzschild & Sulzberger de-
clare that he never called on them.
We are compelled to believe that the
trouble, coming at a time when his
nerves were unstrung, has upset him
and brought on the old trouble We
fear for his mind.
Word of his disappearance has
been given to the police and passed
around among the people in the yards.
1t is not likely, however, that he is
anywhere in Chicago. Some one
would have recognized him, surely"
Frank Burge, 5312 Lowe avenue, is
DOnnelly's brother-in-law. He and
Pat Hurley, former president of the
cattle butchers, are heading the
SSdICI IOI Tie ullSSluS ldDOE ledueI
Their appeal to the workingmen and
women at the yards has brought
warm and immediate response. Busi-
ness agents of all the unions will
pass the word around to packing
houses all over the country.
DonneIly Slugged at Election.
Two years last July Donnelly was
slugged at an election of the Chicago
Federation of Labor. He had been
chosen judge at the polls, and was
relied upon by the honest element
to see that the election was fairly
conducted. A crowd of roughs at
tackled him, beat him into insensibil-
ity, and smashed the ballot boxes
Donnelly lay between life and death
for weeks, and when he recovered he
was but a shadow of his former ro-
bust self.
Six months later he disappeared in
Cincinnati, turning up finally at
Louisville, where he said he had no
recollection of his wanderings. He
was always notably temperate in his
habits and the disappearance was laid,
as the present one is, to mental
trouble.

ing old man who wore typical western
garb, including a sombrero, attracted
great crowds on Broadway. The We
hicle and the driver were not only
in striking contrast with the jam Of
automobiles and carriages on the
Great White Way" but were a de-

driver was Ezra Meeker, a pioneer OF

over the trail he followed to the
west half a century ago. All along
Riverside drive from Grants tomb to
Seventy-se street Meeker was fol
lowed by an interested and curious
throng. When Broadway was reached
the crowd was so dense that the oxen,
which the old man afterward de-
scribed as Dave and Dandy, had
hard time to make any headway
Meeker's trip ended at last at the Bat
terry. He had come all the way from
Puyallup, Wash, to New York in
626 days. Meeker's object in making
his unique journey is to persuade the

Toxic, Sept 2O.-The possibility
that Japan may have to annex Korea
seems again to have arisen. Marquis
Ito is quoted as having said that it
may be necessary to alter Japan's
policy owing to the present situation
and that if the Korean people persist
in their attitude of unfriendliness it
will be the last day for them" Toxic
papers are receiving reports that in
surgents are gathering from all direc-
tions around the city of Seoul to at
tack it. Their number is unknown,
but one band of 500 is reported. Rov-
ing parties of Koreans under the lead
ership of eX-soldiers are killing Jap
anese officials and civilians and Ko-
reans suspected of being pro-Japan-
ese. These parties take to the noun
tains upon the approach of Japanese
troops, but not before suffering
heavily.
Reorganize Korean Staff.
A new official organization of the
staff of the resident-general for Korea
was submitted to the priVy council
Thursday and passed. 1t is believ-
ed it will be promulgated on Saturday.
According to the organization the of
flee of deputy residentgeneral has
been established and it is understood
that Baron Some, the late minister of
finance in the Katsura cabinet, will
he appointed to the post.
Officials to Regain Standing.
Another feature of the organization
is the permission granted the Japan
ese vice-minister of the Korean gov
ernment and others serving as KO-
rean officials to regain their official
standing in the Japanese government.
Marquis Ito, the residentgeneral of
Korea, will leave for Seoul on Sept.
% and it is expected that upon his ar
rival there the new system of reform
will then be vigorously pushed, espe-
cially in the matter of the judiciary.
