Along Steadily Collecting
Evidence.

Springfield, Ill, June s.-State's At
torney Burl1s claims TO have positive
evidence that approximately $1,000
was raised to kill two fish bills In the
last legislature. Burke exhibits a
message In bankers code transmitting
$1,250 from a Peoria to a BeardstowD
bank, also on the date OF this message

delivered to Frank ]. Traut, who, Il is
alleged, had charge of the fish bill
funds.

torney Burke obtained from the books
of the First National bank OF Boards
town yesterday positive evidence that
S2,705 of the fish fund was taken from

1909, $1.275 was wired from the First
National bank Of Peoria to the Boards
town institution and placed in a fund
that already amounted to $500 from
local collections, and that the whole
was then given by Cashier Condit TO

the package of bills to his father, who
took it to Springfield and turned it

before the grand jury ever having re-
ceived such an amount at one time,
insisting that he received small
amounts and spent it as il came.
Traut met Mr. Burke in Beardstown
after the prosecutor had verified the
jackpot facts and had long talk with
him. He will appear before the grand
jury again today. The other witnesses
will be Cashier Condit. DR.. Schweer
and Charles Cole. all of Beardstown

that when the open sale of mild bev-
erages is forbidden surreptitious
sales of strong spirits are greatly in
creased, and that there is an appall-
ing increase in the prohibition states
of the demand for patent medicines,
tonics and narcotic drugs. Boutell
argued against prohibition and de-
clared that in it's place genuine tenn
perance was advancing rapidly.
