WAS ASSISTED BY A SURGEON
DISGUISED AS CHAUFFEUR.
BANKER JERE F. LILLIS
A Story Repiete With the Extreme of
Sensation-The Operation Had Been
Planned With Deliberation-"Su Surgeon
Chauffeur" Was Paid a Big Fee.

Chicago, March I4-John P. Cudahy
of Kansas City, who knitted Banker Jere
F. Lillis in his own palatial home, is in
Chicago, visiting at the home OF Joy
Morton on Lake Shore Drive. With him
is his brother, Joseph Cudahy. Both are
keeping in seclusion and every effort IS
made to keep their visit secret.
Mr.. Cudahy, it was reported, came to
Chicago to escape the notorlety brought
upon him by the Lillfs incident. 1t is
said that he arrived yesterday morning,
but all information was refused at the
Morton home
The two Cudahys were seen and re-
cognized as they left the Morton home
today. They entered large automo-
bile and were driven down the Lake
Shore Drive to Chicago avenue, then
into Rush street. There the chauffeur
put on high speed and the car was soon
lost to view.
John Moss, the missing chauffeur in
volyed in the case as the alleged assist
ant Of Jack" Cudahy on tn evening of
the attack on Lillis, may not be chauf-
feur at all, but young surgeon playing
the role of automobile driver III order
that whatever attack was made with a
knife would be in skilled hands.
This is the purport of sensational re-
ports which have reached Chicago anent
the mysterious disappearance of the
chauffeur following the rumpus in the
Cudahy home in Kansas City.
The run1ors are said to have founda
ton in fact and to be common talk
among club folk OF the Missouri city,
who know whereof they speak. The
surgeon Chauffeur is said to have been
paid an enormous fee by Cudahy. That
a young surgeon was hired months in
advance of the deed, which has so up
set Kansas City and its social set, is al
legged to be the true story of the affair.
He was attired as chauffeur and he
played his part as such, it is further de
clared, that all who might see him
would be deceived into believing him
what he purported to be.
When the time for action had arrived
according to the story told, he was right
on hand to lend his professional aid and
insure the success of some outlines
scheme. The wounds inflicted on Lii
lis, Kansas City folk are said to have
declared in Chicago, could not have
been made with rusty knife in thu
hands of an amateur.
It is also suggested that this explana
tion of the identity of the alleged chauf-
feur would account for his mysterious
disappearance, that all he would hav
to do would be to don again the citi
zen's garb of physician and become him
| self. All trace of John Moss, chauffeuf
| would have vanished.

WITHDRAW THE INJUNCTION
Is the Viaduct of the V. S. & P. on Mar
shall Street an Obstruction?

Litigation is pending against the
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific on an
injunction directed against its construc-
ton of a viaduct over Marshall street a
short distance from Cotton
This viaduct is being constructed with
view to its permanency.
1t appears that the objection raised
against this viaduct is that it is not tenn
porary in its construction, technicality
which fails to impress common sense.
Besides this viaduct there are two sim
liar constructions at short intervals
across the same street, and these do not
seem to be Objectionable TO traffic, We
hicular or otherwise.
Against this viaduct it is alleged that
certain probable or possible danger may
arise from the trolley wires to the cars
crossing hereunder, but the same con-
dition seems TO be in full force and eff.
feet from the two viaducts under which
the street cars have been operated for
years without accident.
A careful inspection in pers,n of the
viaduct in question leads to the conclu-
sion that the objection against its per-
n1anent construction is more technical
than substantial, and therefore whatever
may be the restriction against its con-
struction should be recalled.
It is well to resist the encroachments
of corporations as we'll as that of indi-
viduals, but there should be no captiou:
impeding of progress, especially wher
neither the city nor the masses are at.
fected in their rights and their privi
leges.
We can see no good reason why tht
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific rail
road should be restricted in completing
the construction of this viaduct across
Marshall street, properly speaking al
overhead bridge abutting on each sid'
of the street, including the sidewalk
both of which are free for vehicles ant
pedestrians.

Shreveport. His coming is due to Mr..
Zeigler, who has been in correspondence
with him since his first visit in May of
last year, when he first submitted a
proposition to the Progressive League,
which failed in practical results, but the
good feeling which then prevailed has
been effective and was recalled incident
ally by Mr.. Strough when he was ad-
dressing himself to the citizens at this
meeting.
The company of which Mr.. Strough
is the representative has several plants
in operation, one being in Oklahoma,
but he desires to locate in or near
Shreveport so as to secure the advant-
ages of the gas supply, which he de-
clared, referring to the Caddo field, to
be the. greatest in the world.
AS he said all fields become exhausted
in time, and he desired to establish a
plan in or near Shreveport not only for
the reason of its advantages but also
on account of the gas supply If he was
given half a chance to locate he would
come.
1t will now depend on the citizens to
determine his coming

CHARLES JORDAN
After Lingering illness Died in the
Hospital Sunday.

Charles Jordan, better known as
Red" Jordan, died in the Hospital Sun
day from the effects of a seff-inftIcted
wound with a knife. He was a victim
of consumption, and realizing that there
was no hope for his recovery and labor
ing under the influence of that loneli-
ness of spirit which would demoralize
the stoutest heart, he committed the
rash act which hastened his removal
from earth.
The demise of Red Jordan was not
known, except perhaps to few, until
the announcement that he had been bur
led as pauper.
The deceased when a boy with the
men of today who then were boys with
him, was connected with the various
clubs and associations which prevailed.
and when he reached manhood he be-
came fireman and lately was connected
more or less with theatricals as an as
sistant on the stage IN handling scenery
and in making himself generally useful.
1t is true Red" is gone, but there are
many who will recall him pleasantly as
boy and a young man with whom they
asstt - ~.
Red was genial and wholesouled,
and there may be given him many cred
its for good deeds and kindnesses to
those holding in life more humble posi-.
tons and not overburdei1ed with this
worlds goods.
1t may be and doubtless is some sat
isfaction to those who knew him to
know that the Ehrlich Brothers have
taken the steps necessary to secure his
re-interment according to the Christian
! rites and propose to have erected over
his graveNa monument dedicated to his
memory

THE LOUISIANA DELEGATION
TO WASHINGTON, D. c.
CAN EXPOSITION
Encouragement from Congress-There
Were Secured from President Taft
and Speaker Cannon Promises that
They Would Sign the Bill.

The New Orleans Panama Exposition
delegation reached Washington Mon
day morning and in the afternoon held
a conference with the senators and the
representatives from Louisiana, fol-
lowed by meeting with President Taft,
Speaker Cannon and a number of SEN
ators and congressman from other
States. The subject which engrossed
the Louisiana delegation was made
plain to the President and to others
who view it was favor. AS reported in
the New Orleans States everybody con-
cerned is more than pleased with the
smooth and fit way in which everything
as agreed upon with the Louisiana
members of Congress has been per-
formed The reception at the White
House and visit from Speaker Cannon
were both gratifying. President Iafts
promise to sign bill for the exposition
was gratifying Speaker Cannon's earn
est greeting and eloquent revelation OF
the new things he had learned about the
Mississippi Valley as the greatest area
of habitable land upon the round earth,
where development by navigation and
otherwise he regarded as more import
ant than the exposition, quite capitvated
the visitors and they roundly applauded
him..
Speaker Cannon particularly laid
stress upon the vigilance of the Louis
lana delegation for Louisiana interests
from early morn till dewy eve" He
said it reminded him of something his
little granddaughter once said to him
when she had in mind certain duty she
should discharge; it was: Grandpa,
make may make me what | ought to
do. After meeting the Speaker the
two delegations visited the Senate side

body else had done, complimented the

sition delegation.
