he had come.
After wheeling thrice around the

aeroplane directly at the top of the
monument, as If he intended to
knock of the aluminium top, but
when almost over the apex he shut

WAR ON SEERS is
BEGUN IN CHICAGO
Mayor Harrison Declares AL
Clairvoyants Must Be Driven
From the City.
POLICE ARE GIVEN ORDERS
Obtaining Money Under False Pre-
lenses to Be Charged in
Prosecutions.

Chicago, July 14-Every clairvoyant
in Chicago will be driven out of busi-
ness as rapidly as the evidence against
them can be gathered, according TO en-
phatic statements made yesterday by
Mayor Harrison and Inspector Hunt.
City Prosecutor McInerney has plac-
ed the matter in the hands of Edwin
Raber, his first assistant, and Mr.. Ra-
Der has the cases in which evidence
has already been gathered well in
hand. 1t is not expected that any in
surmountable obstacles will be encoun-
tered, even If the fortune telling cult
attempt a fight.
81 am heartily in favor OF the move
ment calling attention to the fact that
these people are again doing business"
said Mayor Harrison. ''They are all
frauds, pure and simple, and not only
have they no right to do business, but
the class of people who fall into their
hands should be protected against such
a temptation to part with their hard
earned money.
PRACTICE AGAINST THE LAW.
"The practice of these so-called clair
voyants Is plainly against the law and
against public policy, and you may say
that this administration will do all
within its power to see that they are
driven out of the city and kept out. l
have not taken any action in the mat
ter personally. and do not think it will
be necessary for me to do so. The
various departments will do whatever
is necessary without special instruc-
tons"
IF It should be found that the special
laws against these people are uncon-
we can dismiss the cases
brought under these sections, believe.
and rearrest them on the plain propo-
sition of obtaining money under false
pretenses," said Inspector Hunt.
SAYS NONE MAKE GOOD.
"They promise that they are able to
reveal the future, reunite lost lovers,
and all that sort of thing, and take
money from all who are foolish enough
to believe them, and, as everybody who
has ever had any experience with them
knows, they are not able to do a sim
gle one of the things they claim"

of not having money to pay the usual
charges made when a tenant quits.
FAILS TO RENEW LEASE
Mrs. Shonts rented an apartment op
the Avenue Hoche several years age
of taxes and other charges which
would run the figure much higher
Obeying an urgent imperative sum
mons from her husband to return to
America she gave notice that she
would not renew the lease when the
time expired.
Mrs. Shonts' time limit for delivering
possession is Saturday. The difficulty
with her husband caused him to stop
sending the usual remittances and
when a bill for $4,000 was presented
by the landlord to pay for damages
done to the apartment during the term
of the lease, Mrs. Shonts found herself
without money and unable to pay tre
account.
SHONTs REFUSES DRAFT.
H. G. Archibald, her attorney, taking
compassion upon Mrs. Shonts in her
predicament, advanced the necessary
money and drew on Theodore Shonts
to reimburse himself He was mere
than surprised when the draft was
returned unpaid with the notation by
Shonts that he sent money to his fari-
lily when he wished and did not want
any interference from outside parties"
The situation Is most embarrassing
for the Shontses in Paris, as not only
is Mrs. Shonts laid up with blood
poisoning in the foot, but Marguerite
is also quite i'll with the same trouble,

Executive Gives Analysis
of Legislature in
Washington.
INTERESTS RAISE POT
Witness Admits to Lorimer
Committee Getting $780,
600 Fees.

Washington, July IA. - Evidence
about Jack pot or general corrdp-
tion funds for the benefit of recaIcIt-
rant legislators was sought today from
Governor Deneen of Illinois when ne
resumed the witness stand before the
Lorimer investigation committee. The
governor entered into an analysis OF
the Illinois legislature with view of
demonstrating the existence of a fer
tile field tlCre for corruption.
After discussion of the Legislative
organization, Deneen was turned over
for cross examination to Elbridge
Hancey, Lortmer's counsel. Hancey
first sought to show Lorimer was in
strumental in making Deneen state 5
attorney of Cook county, a position
from which the witness testified he
procured in salary and fees in eight
years of his occupancy about 100000.
JONES INTERRUPTS.
Senator Jones interrupted to saw
that he did not see what bearing that
had on the case, even if Deneen got
The fees illegally. Hancey then took
up another line Of examination.
ADMITS LoRIMER SUPPORT.
Deneen said Lorimer supported
him for states attorney, but declined
TO give the senator all the credit for
his nomination for first or second
term. The political leanings of the
Chicago newspapers was also dis
cussed Hanecy argued that De
neen claimed the credit for the pass
ing of primary laws as reform meas
ures, yet the governor continued to
WELD the power in making states in
conferences. Deneen argued that the
law was not violated through such
action, being merely a recommenda-
tion to voters.
WHO Is THE POWERs
Hanecy questioned Deneen in an at
tempt 10 show that Deneen. not Lori
mer. was the controlling political pow
er in Illinois. Deneen denied that he
had organized legislatures and that
Lorimer was responsible for the for
mer's political start
REFUTES LORIMER's APPEAL.
