Resign.

New York, Sept. 6. - Chairman
Charles D. Hilles and members of the

steps in another effort to supplant
Roosevelt electors on the Republican

Taft electors be substituted for Roose-
welt electors after he has succeeded in
obtaining signatures to petitions NAM
ing the Roosevelt men on Washing

viewed the situation in that state and
said:
From the standpoint of decency,

to compel them to withdraw"

OF Mr.. Finn and his proposal Mr.
Hilles said:
civilian Finn, the head of the Re-

The chairman declared that Mr..
Films purpose was to destroy the Re-
publican party in the nation and at the
same time further his ambition to en-
ter the United States senate.

OFFICIAL GRAFT
IS DISCLOSED
GIRL ARRESTED IN CONNECTION
WITH MYSTERIOUS DEATH
MAKES CONFESSION.
MANY CRIMES ALLEGED
Charges That Several Murders Were
PERFORATED in West Hammond
Observation-Disclosures
Disclosures.

Chicago, Sept 6.--An unusual story
OF murder, vice and official graft was
disclosed to Coroner Hoffman in con-
nection with the West Hammond vice
Investigations, when Miss Frances
Ford, 20 years old, who is said to have
been in company with John Mess
maker before his death, Aug. 49, from
supposed poison in a resort in that
suburb, made confession that cover
ed 80 pages of typewriter matter.
The confession followed arrest of
the girl after two weeks search
conducted by Miss Virginia Brooks,
Assistant County Attorney Thomas j.
Johnson, Coroner Hoffman and the
Chicago police. Coroner Hoffman ex-
poets a report soon from a chemist
ON the examination of the vital or
gans of Messmaker. M.
eff poison is found in Messmaker's
body, l shall take up with the proper
officials the subject of number of
other West Hammond Deaths" said
Coroner Hoffman.
Several Murders Alleged.
The narrative of Miss Ford is said
to include the charge that several
murders were perpetrated in West
Hammond resorts where it is reported
81 men have died under mysterious
circumstances. Only three of these,
however, are matters of record and
the facts concerning them are shroud-
ed in mystery.
John Messmaker, it is said, was
drugged and later a hypodermic in
lection of poison was given him, and
he died Aug. q. At least two other
men are said to have met a similar
fate within the last IL months. States
Attorney Wayman is preparing to in
vestigate the allegations of graft and
crime in West Hammond made by
Miss Brooks and others. The facts,
it is said, will be presented to the
September grand jury.
Vice Ring Agents EIuded.
The questioning of Miss Ford was
delayed, owing to the activity of al
legged agents of the alleged ''vice
ring composed of West Hammond
saloonkeepers.
As the girl was being taken to the
coroner's office by Detective Chief
Matthew Barden several men were
seen following and acting suspicious
ly. The detective, believing the men
to be representatives of the resort
keepers, who it is believed are maxi
ing an effort to get possession of the
girl and send her out of the city, en-
tered a descending elevator with his
charge and hurried her out of the
county building without entering the
coroner's office.
In her statement to Coroner Hoff-
man and the police, Miss Ford told
of bottle which she said was always
kept behind the bar of saloon and
which she always understood was to
be given to intoxicated persons who
were thought to have considerable
money in their possession.

Minneapolis, Sept. Gan increase in
value of the corn crop of the northwest
estimated at hundred of thousands of
dollars will result, it is believed, from
the hot weather of the last three or
four days. Reports from the great
farming centers of Minnesota and the
Dakotas state the high temperatures
have come at a most desirable time
and the quality of the corn may be
greatly improved. Much of the antici-
pated evils that were looked for as a
result of the recent heavy rains is ex-
pected to disappear.
