declares he never will let up on the
vice kings until he has the ring

After a stormy session in the
jury room, where detectives and
police heads perspired under fire,
los indictments were returned.
They only struck through the sur
face, however, and the big grafters
in crime-"the men higher up
still are free.
This big city by the lake has not
been so shaken for years as now.
Wayman was elected as a reform

and they knew they could hope for
no mercy from him.
One day a Chinaman sneaked in
to the office of Attorney Edward F.

Chick Gandil the Sacramento
Coast league clubs classy first
baseman, for whose immediate
services Charlie Comiskey of the
Chicago White Sox is making
strong bid, is showing greater
flash of speed than ever, now that
he is assured of berth in the big
brush. Gandil is an easy fielder,
the most difficult chances being
handled by him without apparent
effect, and at the bat he is regu-
lar bearcatcher. He meets the ball
hard and one curve looks just like
another to him.
andil came to the coast from
Shreveport, La, casting his lot with
the Fresno outlaws, but before the
season was very old he jumped to
the Coast league. So well is he
thought of here that when Comiskey
offered a juicy bunch of money for
his release, the local management
agreed to let him go at once on
condition that Comiskey gave two
players ito boot" Comiskey
couldn't spare the two men, but he
sewed Gandil up for next season.

When Aristide BRAND, avowed
socialist and church hater, became
minister of public instruction and
worship in France three years ago,
he was asked in the assembly
about his opinions.
Il am still a socialist" he re-
piled amid cheers. "and as a min
lister will do all in my power to
advance. Except that l will not
sacrifice or disrupt the govern
ment on account of it."
M. Brands socialistic leanings
have grown stronger since then,
though he has the faculty of COM
bining other factions with him for
the advancement of the govern
ment, and was called one of the
strongest men in France when
President Fallieres asked him to
become premier and form new
cabinet.
M. BRAND began life as a poor
small town lawyer and newspaper
writer.

story was unraveled. ..-..
At about the same time woman,
clothed in black, visited the Grim

liar story to States Attorney Way
man. For three years, she said, the
police had levied graft on her lit
tie saloon and Polish boarding
house south of Chicago. When she
didn't pay some stranger the graft,
she would be arrested.
AS soon as the story was finished
Dunno conferred with Wayman,
and the grand jury was impaneled
to deal with new problem in Chi
cago affairs-the search for police
graft. Though graft isn't new by
any means here, the investigation
of it is.
AS a result of the stories told by
the woman in black and the fright
ened Chinaman, 105 true bills were
returned, and big ring of Chinese
gamblers was driven out of bust
ness. Extortion will be charged
against men who mulct saloonkeep-
ers and others.
Unlike any other great city in
the world, Chicago has its criminal
divisions just as it has its political
divisions. West-side vice is under
the control of the Desplaines street
police. Inspector Mccain is In
charge of the district.
When it was intimated to Nc
Cam that police giraffe existed
there, he exclaimed:
Nothing of the sort! It's lie,
Besides, the people over here ARE
A CHEAP LOT, AND HAVEN'T

Nevertheless detectives from
