Chiffon SCORED
FOR POLITICS

Motorcycle officer Chiffon has fallen
under the displeasure of some Of the
Democrats of the eighth precinct OF
the fourth district. Chiffon, who ncads
the Democratic Club in this district,
is said to have been busy working for
Jarrett, and to have the club tied up
by refusing to allow new secretary
to be elected and holding the roll
practically at his own pleasure.
Several Democrats yesterday com
! planned that Chiffon had refused to al
low new secretary to be elected, al
| though the old secretary has quit the
! club. or at least not appeared for three
meetings. Chiffon is quoted as say
ing that there's plenty Of time yet to
| get secretary. but some OF the club
members declare no record Is Kept 0I
the meetings and the roll book is not
omen for enrolment by all. Whether
or not it's really political play, OF
merely an oversight, Is a question.

that he fully understood their feel

assuringly, brought them bundle of

of paper seemed to watt itself through
the window by which they were SIT

feet. AS he caught it up Solano
sprang for the window, peered eagerly
out-and saw no one excepting two
blue-clad policemen strolling by.
Brockett opened the packet and
found several thicknesses of blank pa
per, bound together to give weight and
accuracy to the throwing of the mis-
sile. In the center of the package
was slip of cardboard, and written
across this in the hieroglyphs Brock

letterings:

desperate, could almost sympathize, in
