It was soon seen that to succeed the

Unless the plans of the Anti-Saloon
league and the Chicago Law and Order
league go astray the city police force
will be augmented by about 200 add
tional men and women New Year s
eve. In recent interview Chief Nc
Weeny declared that it would be i'm
possible to watch all of the places in
the loop district which would enter
tain guests then. The chief asserted
that the crooks would take advantage
of the absence of policemen from their
regular beats and would loot the town.
In a letter sent to the chief yester-
day by E. J. Davis, superintendent of
the Chicago department of the Anti
Saloon League of Illinois, Mr.. Davis
offered to furnish all of the men neces-
sary to enforce the closing ordinance.
eff you are short of men to enforce
the ordinance" says the letter, "and
will issue an order that the ordinance
be strictly enforced, and that any sa-
loon will lose its license that violates
the order, this organization, co-operat-
ing with the Chicago Law and Order
league, will supply the men to see that
evidence is furnished of any violation
of your order"
Action Is Secret.
Just what action the chief would
take on the letter he declined to re-
veal yesterday.
"This is going to be safe and sane
New Year" said the chief. "There
will be no high jinks, and the saloons
and cafes will close at O'Clock, Just
as they always do. The patrons who
have reserved tables will be allowed
to remain until 3, but there will be
no intoxicating beverages sold after
the closing hour"
That this New Years eve will be a
bowling success is evident. More than
half of the tables have been reserved
in the big hotels in the loop district.
It was declared that most of the
tables had been eornered by ticket
spectators and that they could not
be had except by paying from So to
IS in advance of the regular price
charged at the hotel.
Corner is Denied.
This was denied by the arrangements
of the hotels in the downtown section.
Despite the denial, however, Harry n
Waterfall, a Spectator in the Palmer
house, declared that he has plenty of
reservations and was willing to sell
at a "slight advance" The demand
for seats in all Of the hotels has been
larger this year than in any previous

arrangements to care for the large

now that things were very pect-
liar, and circumstances surround
ing the rail trip were unusual.
The substance of the report he
sent to Coroner Hoffman is this:
Swift was sick. So he decided
TO go on a hunting trip. La Forge
called for Swift, and found him
with a cut over his right eye. A
maid said that the. young man
had fallen off a couch Swift had
been drinking. La Forge. tele-
phoned to the railroad station
and ordered that wheel chair be
prepared for Swift, who, despite
he was unconscious, was firm in
his decisoin to go on hunting
trip.
Swift was placed in a limousine,
with a wet towel around his head.
The curtains were pulled down
to prevent Swift being seen.
When he arrived at the station
he was placed in a wheel chair
and rolled to the train, uncon-
scious, to go on the hunting trip.
According to the trainmen he
was in a helpless condition, his
eyes were closed, and his hat was
set back on his head because of
his swollen eye. He had to be car
ried onto the train by the porter.
With Swift when he was put on
the train for Milwaukee to go on
the hunting trip was his wife, her
maid and La Forge. The latter
was the only one to accompany
him out of town, the wife and
maid remaining here.

The Milwaukee coroner recon-
mends that Coroner Hoffman re-
open the case here. He consid-
ers it very strange that man in
an unconscious condition, from
any cause, should go on a hunt
ing trip.
A physician connected with the
case says he does not doubt that
Swift was unconscious when he
went on the hunting trip, as he
had been in a semi-conscious con-
dition for some time previous to
his death.
Mrs. Swift, the widow, is i'll at
the Congress hotel, and cannot be
seen.
s Coroner Hoffman said this aft
ernoon that if he reopened the =
case it would only be on evidence
that he could take into the Grim
inal court. He recommended to
the Swift family that an autopsy
be held to set at rest the ques-
ton as, to Swift's death, But has
received no answer from them.
When the newspapers printed
the story that Marshal Field, jr.,

nothing definite has resulted, though
it is more than likely that negotia-

Secretary Andrew Beveridge said
today it was not unlikely the same
committee would be appointed at the
January meeting of the A. f. A. The
reason, it is said, the committee has
been discharged is hat the A. F. A.
has not had time to consider the ad-
visibility of joining in the movement
for the formation of a national body
and there was 10 reason for con-
tinuing the committee until that was
determined. Many think the A. F.

Less than three minutes after the

rung up by the husky H~arrisonians.
McHolland accepted a beautiful cross
from Cooper and whizzed the ball by
the visitors goal-keeper for a score.
Miller touched the ball but failed to
check its impetus entirely.
