CHICAGO. Sept. Twelve persons,
two men and ten women are under ar
rest today as a result of the anti-vice
war at West Hammond Police and
detectives are seeking another woman
alleged by Ethel Parker, known also
as frankie Ford, to know all the ins
and outs of the remarkable series OF
crimes she alleged took place in
West Hammond. The woman sought is
"Kttie Clark" She Is said to be hiding
in Gary, Ind, and police there have
been asked to help in locating her.
The arrests at West Hammond fol-
lowed raid by County, city and fed
eral officers led by Miss Virginia
Brooks, who has headed the vice cru
sade and by Mrs. John F. Bass, Chi
cago society woman. who has become
interested in the case.
Ten Of Them Women.
The two men under arrest are Hen
~ Foss, proprietor of the resort in
and Con Moore, proprietor of the Colo
nial hotel, a resort. Both men are
charged with violation of the Mann
anti-white slave law. Ten women were
also arrested and held on subpoenas
of knowing of violations of the same
law
The arrests of the persons on fed
eral charges was decided on after evi-
dence submitted to the federal author
tiles showed there were ample evi-
dence for such charges. They will be
held pending the iuFes4igAtioxaof othAr
charges, among them the series of
murders related by frankie Ford. The
white slave charge against Foss is in
connection with the entrance OF the
Ford woman In his resort. According
to the girls story she had known
Foss since she was a child. He took
her on an auto ride to Grown Point
and later held her in the bottom of
the car while he drove across the Illi-
1tois line to his own resort, she alleg-
es. Mary Arnold, employed at the Foss
resort, told story that in many ways
contradicted that told by the Ford
girl Miss Arnold said that the Ford
girl admitted that she had given
Messmaker four shots of morphine
during the night preceding his death.
Foss was once sheriff of county in
Indiana. After he left ONCE he went
to work as a motorman until he could
save enough money to open his place
In West Hammond.
His Game Spoiled.
There hasn't been much money in
that" he said. "Reformers and screech
owls like this Ford woman have spoil
ed the game I haven't much money
and am now broke. have been work
ing as a building wrecker since this
mess started"
| Mrs. John F. Bass who is interested
in the crusade believes implicitly in
the Ford woman's story.
Il do not for a moment entertain
the charges that the Ford woman is
not telling the TRUTH" she said. 'tIn
fact she is only telling part of the
truth. Instead of being moved to false.

A DRAMATIC EVENT.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. Oscar
s. Straus, secretary of commerce and
labor in the cabinet of President
Roosevelt, was unanimously nominal
ed for governor on the Progressive
party ticket by the state convention
yesterday.
Mr.. Straus' nomination came about
under circumstances that were not
only unexpected but dramatic. The
former cabinet member, acting as the
conventions permanent chairman.
was about to entertain a motion from
former Lieut. Gov Woodruff to expe-
dite the roll call on the names of State
Chairman William III. Hotchkill and
New York, when delegate from New
York county leaped to his chair and
demanded to be heard.
"Suspender Jack" on Platform.
cts .Suspender Jack McGee." cried
a voice from the gallery. MCGEE, who
got his name in the Indian country by
riding broncho into camp with sus.
renders used as reins, moved reso-
ilutely toward the platform.
Chairman Straus looked with sur
prise on the man who, with a flaming
bandana swathed around his neck
and his coat blazing with badges, toss
ed his rough rider hat on the floor and
demanded the right to make a nomina
pfion.

delegates marched from the conven-
tion hall to the strains @. the Battle

Tentative states had their support
ers throughout the session but the
declaration that every position on the
ticket was open to free and unhamper-

There was no secret regarding the at
tiiude of Col. Roosevelt in favoring
Controller Prendergast of New York

ticket. 1t was also known that the Bull
Moose presidential candidate believed
that Dean Cook of St.Lawrence univer-
sity would develop great strength as
a candidate for lieutenant governor

strongly supported by the upstate dele

the wife from whom he then parted
was his bride of but few months,
coupled with the large fortune which

agencies throughout the United States
and passed the $3.50, 000,0 600 appropria-
ton bill with a provision for the abol-
ishment of the agencies, Jan. 81, 1913
The action of the conferees was the
elimination of a dispute which has
held up the payment of over $4,000, 900
of pension payments due Civil War
veterans, Aug. 4, and has thrown the
financial operations of the pension bu-
reau into chaos The House will prob
ably accept the Senate provision re-
garding the abolition of the pension
agencies throughout the country. The
House proposed that these agencies
be abolished Dec. 81 of the present
year This was the only provision of
the bill in dispute. and its settlement
was expected to end the deadlock be-
tween the House and Senate.
Under the Senate provision, the
payment of all pensions would. after
the date named, be made directly
from the pension bureau at Washing
ton.
