Engineer Hears
of Conspiracy to
Defraud Chicago
City Official Admits He Disregarded
Information from Subordinates
About Contractors Ring.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE special commits
sion which is investigating charges of
fraud in the letting OF municipal contracts,
drew admissions today from City Engineer
Ericsson, the principal witness, that he had
disregarded information concerning al
legged frauds given him by a subordinate,
and that he had at one time practically
been deposed from his position through
the political influence of a clique of con-
tractors.
Distrust of subordinates was given by
the city engineer as the reason he did not
act on information given him. Y
He admitted that he nae been told that
materials being ~excavated was classified
and paid for at a high rate as ''shale
rock whereas It is ,contended It was com
mon clay. He said other city inspectors,
in whom he had confidence, had Insisted
that the material was "shale rock
Mr.. Ericsson said that under the admin
istration Of Mayor Dunno he had been
asked to resign because of the importuni-
ties Of the alleged contractors clique. He
said he had refused to resign and that for
a year he had been merely a fi~gurehead,
subordinates signing his name and per-
forming all the executive function of his
department.
The commission Is investigating contracts
in which large amounts are alleged to
have been paid for inferior work to
favored contractors.

had-how did you figure that they could
bet 5000 out of it9' asked FINLEY, in his
silkiest tones,
Il didn't stop to figure; they had me
all worked up"
Then the witness slipped off into a hope
less tangle. He said he didn't know that
the pot was short even though the $685.
900 a been bet out OF $4,000 and explained
that some way Mr.. Martin, another OF
the Mabray crowd was to blame.
The redirect examination Of Mr.. Ballew
probably win be held today. The defense
will then resume the grilllng on the re-
cross-examinAtion.
Maurice Hough, the Juror who is unable
to sleep, because he Is locked up at night,
has found a new source Of grief.
Il just can't stand the idea Of being
locked up again when the case Is SUB
mitted." he pleaded TO Bailff Cousins.
Hough will probably be held on tho
jury for the present, despite his appeal.
His condition Is, however. really grave in
that he has been unable to sleep, prac-
tically, since the hearing began.
c. II. Warren has been made a special
baillff to sleep with Hough so he can have
his door unlocked.
FINLEY for the defense began the morn
ing's grilling with a review of Ballew's
transactions in Omaha banks.
BaIIew Can't Recall.
Did you introduce Martin to Luther
Drake at the Merchants National bank as
manager Of one Of your lumber yards7'
asked FINLEY.
II don't remember" said Ballew.
Then followed a tangle in which the wit
ness admitted that he would not positively
deny that he had so introduced Martin.
Ibid you not tell Mr.. Drake that you
wanted the large sum Of money that you
asked for to use in a lumber yard deal?"

Pent up grief and anger were unchecked

the mine the sheriff single landed claimed
tho situation.
climax came when James Witherell,
a Ne.eran miner, leaped to the shaft ami
h~arrangued the crowd Of weeping women
and suIlen men.
Witherell condemned the act OF the au-
thorities since the disaster and declared
the men entombed In the mine we're buried
alive. He made no threats, but the fierce
inter1ections OF members OF his audience
revealed their feeling against the mine
owners and state officials.
"rhe men were buried alive" shouted
Witherell. They were alive Monday night,
but they died when these mine experts
shut off their air, Can a man breathe
through four feet of sand?
Il tell you they were crucified."
Charging the Eame experts with ignor-
anee OF the way to save the mems lives
and saying their deaths were due to care
~lessness and ~blunders, Witherell asked his
hearers. What does a man from a col
lege know about the miner These men
who own this hole know nothing about
1t except the figures they get from the men
under them. What can a man know Of q

And what are these experts dolngT
asked a young man in Witherelrs audi

They are eating and sleeping in the

Yes, they're eating while they smother

GIRL FROM RISING, IOWA,
WOULD WE'D TOM TURNIPSEED
Secure License In Omaha After FAIL
ing to Get Permit at Council
Bluffs.

Thomas Turnispeed of washington, Ia,
and Miss Ruth Spencer Of Rising, Ia, Sc
cured a marriage license in Omaha late
Wednesday afternoon. They gave their
ages as q years, but later It was learned
that the couple had applied earlier In the
day for a license at Council Bluffs, but
were refused when they blundered by Civ
ing their respective ages as 10 and Is
years.
When the youthful Mr.. Turnispeed and
still more youthful girl with him first
appeared In the corridors OF the county
court house at Council Bluffs they
seemed to those who noticed them like
the two babes who got lost in the woods.
After they had wandered around the corri-
doris for awhile Deputy Sheriff Bert wad-
~dlngton, although he suspected their mis-
sion, inquired OF the youth. Are you look
ing for anybody2'
w are looking for the county Judge"
declared the young man with some evident
embarrassment.
w have no county Judge" said wad-
dington, but maybe it's the man who dis
penses marriage licenses you are seek
ing" The youthful ruralite coyiy admitted
that was the person he was in quest Of.
Deputy sheriff Waddington escorted the
couple to the office Of Harry M. Brown,
clerk Of the district court. where he turned
the youthful couple over to the tender
mercies Of Deputy Roy Hardesty, the age
expert. After the young couple had stated
their names, ages and places OF residences,
Mr.. Hardesty quietly, but firmly, Informed
them that before he could issue a license
emitting them TO beeomeN man and wife
it would be necessary for them to bring
their papAs and mammas with them, as
the consent Of the latter to their marriage
would be required. The Girl looked at the
youth and he in turn looked at the girl
and, hand In hand, they slowly made their
way from the court house. evidently
greatly disappointed.
