DE FINEST THERE WHEN
It COMES TO PARAD|NG
Cops Loom Up in Full RegaIia for
Annual Inspection by
Officials
"Tenshun! Guyri! For-r-rrwar-r'

"Tenshun! Guyri! For-r-rrwar-r-
I'd March!
Capt. Lehnhausen made a few re-
marks like that to Files-on-parade yes
terday morning, and the annual IN
spection of the police was on. Brass
buttons blazed like young suns, gold
braid and service stripes were a-glltter,
and white cotton gloves covered hands
unaccustomed to such hiding -Four
companies of thirty-four men each were
on parade, and 1t was sight to strike
awe to every porch climber that wit
messed it, If it hadn't been known, as
one second-story worker was heard TO
say, that 1.-The bulls knew how to drill
better than they know how to shoot.
But those 1856 of the finest did look
real cute, anyhow. The mayor said so.
SO did every member of the police COM
mission-and they ought to know, for
they inspected them, fore and aft.
The inspection was made by the po-
lice officers, the police commission, city
officials and prominent citizens. There
was a dearth of councilmen, especially.
ONLY President Lusk and Councilman
Andrews took enough interest in the
matter to attend, although every mem
ber of the council had been invited.
Twelve automobiles of various tonnage
had been engaged to joyr1de the ofi1-
cials around the wake of the police
parade. but four of the machines were
conspicuously empty.
The automobile portion of the parade
formed at the city hall at $3.50 O'Clock.
The first machine carried Chief Gal
loway and Captains Dixon and Bradlsh.
The second machine was occupied by
Commissioners Topham, Davidson and
Johnson and Mayor Alexander. Then
came the auto for the absent council
men, and that was followed by car
loaded with E. o. Edgerton, c. E. Bent
and other secretaries of various organ
izations. City officials and citizens
made up the rast of the cortege.
The automobiles paraded to OlVe
street, between Eighth and Ninth,
where the cops were drawn up in dou-
BILE rank, stiff as statues. Capt. Lehn-
hausen was in command, and as soon
as the officials were placed where they
could see he put the police through
some PAGES. The mayor, Chief Gallo
way and the police commissioners
walked slowly around the line and then
climbed back into their automobiles
Led by a band, the police marched
down Eighth to Broadway, down
broadway to Second, on Second to
Spring, on Spring to Fourth, on Fourth
10 Main. on Main to First and on First
TO the central station.

Former U. S. Senator Gives the
National SoIonS a Red Hot
Tongue LaShing
DENIES 'SLUSH FUND ATTACK
Chicago Grand Jury Hears Wit
nesSes in Investigation of
Purchased LEGISLATION

CHICAGO, May 4.-"T believe 80 per
cent of the seats in the United
- States senate can be said practlc-
ally to have been purchased"
This statement was made here today
by former United States Senator Will
liam E. Mason, in the course of an in
terview in which he urged the election
of United States senators by direct vote
of the people. A morning paper quotes
Senator Mason as saying that he had
heard at Springfield before the election
of Mr.. Lorimer that the honor was for
sale, and that the senatorial toga would
go to the highest bidder. Mr.. Mason,
however. today denied that he had
made any such allegation.
Mr.. Mason was a candidate, but with
drew his name before the last vote,
when Mr.. Lorimer was chosen.
At his office today states Attorney
Wayman said he expected fifteen state
representatives and senators would ap-
pear before the grand jury.
ACCEPTED $1,000
The first witnesses today were Repre-
sentatives Charles A. White, who al
leges that he accepted $1,000 to cast his
vote for I.orimer; Senator Albert E.
Isley of Newton, who made the first
speech in the Legislature denouncing
Lorimer as a candidate, and Represent
ative Henry A. Shepard of JerseyVills.
Representative Thomas Tippet of Oh
ney was present in the states attor-
ney's office. Tippet was candidate for
the minority leadership against Lee
O'Neil Brown, who is alleged by Repre-
sentative White to have disbursed the
so-called Lorimer 'slush fund"
The three legislators, all of whom are
Democrats, said they were present in
answer to kilograms from the states
attorneys office. Tippet and Shepard
voted for Lorimer, but Isley held out
for the Democratic candidate, Stringer.
Shepard is one of those alleged by
White to have been at the Southern
hotel at st. Louis when the Jack pot,
composed of miscellaneous bribes, was
distributed.
Mr. Isley said he would testify as to
common gossip at Springfield, that
Democratic votes were being sought
with money in behalf of the Lorimer
candidacy.
John c. Fetzer was on the witness
stand when the Chicago grand jury
adjourned late today. He had not
completed his story of an alleged slush
fund, which he charged was used to
influence the legislature in passing
house bill n, validating the $50,O00,0O0
Chicago & Western Indiana railroad
bond issue.

SIGN SAVES A WOMAN
FROM ENDING HER LIFE

BY hurting herself from the second
story window of the Yosemite hotel,
115h South Broadway, yesterday
morning, Mrs. Minnie Ditner, 6S years
old, attempted to commit suicide. In
falling she was caught between the
wall and the large sign hanging over
the front of the Los Angeles Desk
company. She was noticed by guests
of the hotel and with the assistance
of several pedestrians she was ex-
tracted from her perilous position.
Mrs. Ditner is the mother of Mrs.
II w. Shelton. wife of the manager of
the hotel. Several months ago she
suffered a severe stroke of paralysis,
and since her recovery has been in i'll
health. 1t is thought that this was the
cause of her attempt to take her life.
After being restrained a few hours
she was released and declared that she
would not try 1t again.

WOMAN TO SEARCH
FOR LOST PEGLEG MINE
(soecial to The Herald.)

SAN BERNARDINO, May 4.-To seek
what hundreds of men have failed to
find, a woman is to start In search of
the famous Pegleg mine that for decades
has yearly led scores of miners. pros
pectors and adventurers to a fruitless
chase across the burning sands of the
desert and many to their death. The
woman is Mrs. r. S. Dillman of Victor
vile, and she is now in San Bernardino
planning the expedition. For three years
Mrs. Dillman has been engaged in min
ing near Victorville and is hardened to
the life of the desert and its perils.
Two men are to accompany her on the
search, j. Rockefeller and Mat Thomp-
son, also of Victorville.
More than half century ago the
PegIeg mine was made famous by its
discOverer, "Pegleg" Smith. Following
a visit to San BernardinO he started for
his mine and was never seen again. His
bones, with his wooden leg, were found
years later, but the desert has kept his
secret.

THIS is SMALL BUSINESS
FOR A BANTAM ROOSTER
Kidnaps Chicks from Mother and
Tries to Be Hen

NEW YORK, May A fussy little
bantam rooster has kidnapped the brood
of a Plymouth Rock hen on George
Hills farm at Ledgerwood, N. j. The
bantam, believing he could take care
of brood of chicks as well as any hen
in the yard, led, or drove, the Plymouth
Rocks into another place and took
charge of them.
The mother clucked eXcitedly for
awhile, and ran around after her stolen
brood, but the pugnacious attitude of
the foster-father and the reluctance of
the little ones to abandon him blocked
her efforts. she took to disconsolate
clucking and scratching in corner of
the yard, while the victorious thief of
family got busy taking care of the
chicks.
He found it hard to encompass the
whole troupe at night when it came
time to shelter them, but by stretching
his legs and wings he just managed it.
Then the bantam was utterly disdained
bv the other roosters. Even the hens
showed their contempt by pecking at
him whenever he ventured within
reach.

ings in turn. Half of the second floor
