PRUpE CHICAG0 POLICE GRAF !
Inspector NcCann Accused OF Pro-
lectrnq Illegal Resorts.

Chicago, Sept Trial OF Police
Inspector Mccain on charges of &C
C,ptinE brides for tn" protection
Of illegal resorts is set for today,
and sensational developments are
expected in the investigation which
has set the whole police department
Of the Windy City in a turmoil State
Attorney Wayman is responsible for
the anti-vice crusade and announces
his determination to probe the char
ges 10 the bottom.
! Inspector Mccain has pleaded
not guilty to the ten charges OF ac-
ceptng graft" and of malfeasance
in office The trial of one of his de-
tectives, Jeremiah Griffin, also in
dicted in the same connection, will
probably follow that of his superior.
4 Wayman has secured possession of
secret records of the resorts in the
! West Side district which contain the
addresses of 1919 vicious dens in In
/ spector McCann's district, which it
I is alleged. were permitted to oper-
ate without being molested.
| 1t is believed that the prosecution
will not stop with a mere eXamina-
/ ton of the alleged payment OF graft
for police protection by red light
district resorts and that the inquiry
will by no means end with probe
into the payment of funds to the
police. A broader and more compre-
/ hensive view of the levying of trib-
lutte on Chcago's outlaw industries
will be sought and efforts will be
made to connect not only members
of the city administration not at
tached to the police force with the
traffic, but also politicians each in
his own ward or other division.
+ To this end information has been
I supplied to the states attorney,
showing that sums ranging in esti-
mate from more than 100000 to
nearly 100000 every year have
been collected within the First and
Second police precincts, comprising
only that part of the South Side
north of Thirty-ninth street, for po
lice and political protection.
One detailed estimate of the year
ny amount of police and political
graft collected is as follows:
/ Two hundred and fifty hotels pay
ing monthly from $40 to $500 each,
ls175.000; $50 flats monthly $40
to $500, $4,000; 500 rooming
houses, monthly SO to $50, S65,-
600; so massage parlors, monthly
$50 to $50, $4,000; handbooks and
poolrooms, 100000; Chinese gam
bling dens, monthly s25- to $40,
$3.50; 200 poker games, monthly
$40 to 500, $4,000; 900 disor-
derby houses, monthly $40 to $40.
tS95,000; 200 concert saloons, $72,-
900; 20 opium resorts, monthly
$40 to $40, $4,000. Total, SEQ :
$40. To this total was added $15,-
I000, which was asserted to be col
lected annually from pickpockets,
bringing the grand total up to $685.

is YOUR FAMILY READING
"WORTH WHILE?

So much of current reading is merely
entertaining at best that the question
naturally arises, Is it worth while?
Your sons and daughters are bound to
read something. They hunger for
stories which take them into the other
half of the world-the world of adven-
ture, of valor, of fortune making. The
problem is to give them such reading
without putting into their hands the
literature that is either silly or demon
alizing. The editors of The Youths
Companion believe that periodical can
be made entertaining aud yet worth
while" and The Companion is conduct
ed on that theory. And that is one
reason why more than half million
American families read it. The paper
is safe, but not dull. It's tales of adj
venture illustrate the advantage OF
fortitude and self-reliance. Its stories
of character lay stress on the truth
that right conduct is never a mistake.

The opportunity to obtain a home in
Northern Wisconsin at low price will
not last forever but it does exist now,
and should be taken advantage of by
all who can do so. 1t should be noted
that during the past year private par
ties have almost universally increased
the selling price of their holding in
Northern Wisconsin from so per cent
too 100 per cent. The man that comes
to Northern Wisconsin must not feel
that he will get q comfortable living
without industry and certain amount
of self-denial which is always to be
anticipated IN new country. He will
not get something for nothing here any
more than in any other parts of the
world. Real estate men should state
to the man who settles in this region
that if he is Industrious and works
hard he is sure to get first-class results
from his labors, and probably better
results than come to most men. 1dlers
are not tolerated in Northern Wiscon-
sin and should be kept as far away as
possible.

HOME FOR AGED INDIANS
School for the Younger Generation also
Recommended by Senators.

As result of the Investigations car
ried on laft week by the United States
senate committee on Indian Affairs it
is said that two recommendation will
be made to the Senate affecting the
Winnebago Indians IN the vicinity OF
Black River Falls.
One will have to do with the estab-
lishment of home for aged Indians
near Black River Falls and the other
a school for the younger generation in
the same district.
Residents in the vicinity of the reser-
vation will seek to have the Legislature
take some action that will absolutely
prevent the sale of liquor TO the red
men.
The committee found that as a re-
suit of improvidence in their earlier
years, as we'll as unscrubulousness OF
white men, the aged and infirm inhab-
itants of the reservation must be cared
for and suitable home for the pur-
pose is the only solution of the problem.
Much of the governments trouble in
its Efforts to care for their reservation
charges is caused By lhe refusal of the
Indians to remain in one place or "a
sill the laud. They prefer to roam up
and down the Mississippi with their
traps.
