WILL
BRANCH OUT

The Woman's club of East Chicago.
erstwhile the Tuesday Reading club. is
temporarily in state of disorganiza-
ton pending some changes which are
being considered Nothing DEFINITE in
the way OF these changes has been ar
rived at, excepting the change of the
name from the Tuesday Reading club
to the Woman's club, but there seems
little doubt that the scope of the or
ganization will be broadened to meet
he broader title.
1t is proposed to enlarge the club to
take in a number of departments and
the consolidation Of the recently or
ganized Musical club with the Reading
club Is being discussed among other
things. If this is done 1t will mean
a complete reorganization of the two
clubs, they being of almost equal size.
and the fact that about twenty five of
the thirty five members of the Reading
club are enrolled in the Musical club
is responsible for a wish on the part
of many, who are members of bothto.
to unite.
1t has been pointed out that a club
along departmental lines might do
away with the necessity of maintain
ing two clubs with two sets OF officers
two meeting places and two afternoons
for meeting, in fact that it might sim
plify in every ay club life among wo-
men in East Chicago. In this case the
Parents club might hold monthly meet

unite in al elaborate program, while

whatever cleansing of the city
they do, there are enough decent
citizens in Chicago to see to it
that that persecution is stopped.
States Attorney John E. w.
Wayman was the first person sub
poenaed before the grand jury.
Wayman brought this on him
self by giving out a long state
ment to the newspapers last
night.
In this statement he said the
grand jury was going the wrong
way about its business. He said
that if the decent people of Chi
cago had wanted vice cleaned up
they'd have done so long ago. He
said the municipal judges could
clean up the town any time they
wanted. He said Carl A. Wal
dron,, attorney for the Commit
tee of Fifteen" was guilty of jury
tampering.
The grand jury grilled Way
man for an hour, but it is not
known what line they took with
him. 1t seemed, however, as if
the breach between the jury and
the states attorneys office had
been widened.
Virginia Brooks was recalled
this morning. When she entered
Jury roow Wayman was there.
Il shall not testify before Mr..
Wayman or any of his assistants,
she said, fatty.
81 have the right to be here"
said Wayman, and Assistant
States Attorney Roy Fairbank |

new and startling charges today.
He said that an assistant states
attorney had pleaded with him
for two hours to get him to drop
the prosecution of Dago Frank
Lewis and the five other indicted
dive-keepers ''for political rea-
sons"
Waldron, for some reason,
would not give out the name of
the assistant states attorney.
This seems like a mistake. Way
man has been saying that Wal
dron's charges are without found
alton. If Waldron does not back
up some of his charges soon, the
people will begin to believe it.
Waldron also says he has proof
of the collection of a $4,000
slush fund in the tenderloin, the
collectors of which told contribu-
tors it was to be used to fix the
states attorneys Office and pre-
vent prosecution.
Waldron got one of the usual
anonymous letters this morning
telling about $4,000 slush fund
raised in the tenderloin to fix the
administration.
Virginia Brooks, Waldron and
three jurors all say that they will
call upon Judge Burke to impanei
a special grand jury, charged to
investigate vice conditions thor
oughly.
Virginia Brooks is to be called
before the grand jury again. So
are Waldron and John F. De-
laney.
