no turned up the San Francisco graft

| who turned up the San Francisco graft
ring.
! The men who are connected with the
graft ring are prominent in railroad
circles and the climax of the investiga-
ton, which will be the signal for their
arrest, will create a scandal such as the
transportation world probably has sell
dom seen.
The instigntor OF the investigation is
j. T. Harahan. president of the rail-
road, who went personally to Detective
Burns office several months ago and
laid a mass of documentary evidence
before him for consideration. Since
the investigation had it's inception inn
mediately after the conference between
the railroad magnate and the detective.
Mr.. Harahan has displayed great inter-
est In its progress, and is said to have
aided the search with valuable add
tional information.
One of the largest forces OF private
detectives that has ever been called on
to work on single case has spent
many weeks on the Illinois Central
graft investigation, under the personal
direction Of Burns.
SO quietly has the investigation been
conducted that very few OF those
under suspicion learned that 1t was
in progress, and those who did did not
become aware that they were objects
of suspicion until it was too late to
hide their tracks and the incriminat-
ing evidence was In the possession of
the detective agency.
Woven thru the reports made to
President Harahan by Burns is said
to be- the story of graft ring that
began its populations on a small scale
and gradually extended operations un-
til the road was defrauded Of an i'm
mense sum annually.

Chicago, April 14.-Gigantic graft in
the management of the Illinois Central
railroad, reaching seven figures and in
volving high officials of the road, has
been discovered as the result OF
guarded but deep investigation and ar
rests are momentarily expected.
Tho the operations of the grating
officials are said to have extended
along many angles, the investigation
has had it's center in the car repair de-
partment, where marked results of
boodling are said to have been found
by special auditors and detectives

came on March 2lst. a large crowd
assembled at the ThomastOwn ceme-
terry where all that was mortal of this
good man was quietly laid to rest until
the trump of God shall sound and the
dead in Christ shall rise. May all who
knew him emulate his example.
BY one who loved him.
