John Lind.

Our new mediator in Mexico, John
Lind, former governor of Minnesota,
doesn't talk the Mex. lingo at all, but
he can listen fine in Swedish. His
parents brought him over from Swe-
den in 1868.
Then John was IA. Starting in
1881, he has shone brightly in Min
nesota's political history, first as a
Republican and lately as a Democrat.
His principal assets were his ability
to get on the common peoples side of
political problems and his strangle-
hold on Swedish votes.
He served several terms in the ma
tional house of representatives, first
elected as a Republican. Then, upon
switching over to the Democratic
fold in 1895, he went back to con-
aress as a Democrat.
Five times nominated by the DEM
ocrats for governor, he was elected
once, in 1899.

ARREST FOLLOWS FINDING OF
BLOOD-STAINED CLOTHES
John Grady, 81, chef at Grand Pa
cific Hotel, was taken into custody
by police today, following the finding
under the front porch of his home,
121 East Fifty-fifth street, of a mass
of blOod-soaked wOmen's wearing ap-
paTel.
The find was made while detectives
we're investigating the mysterious
disappearance of Gradys wife, a
former actress and a Cincinnati wo-
men, who has been missing for near
ly two years. Mrs. Grady's sister, a
Cincinnati woman, came to Chicago
today to aid in the search. She said
she had heard no word from her sis
ter for twenty-One months and that
Grady refused her any information.
Grady told the police that his wife
left him twenty-One months ago after
a trivial quarrel. He said that he had
heard nothing from her since and
that he didn't care what had become
of her.
A detective lifted the front porch
steps and found a bloOd-smeared
kimOno, a WOman's coat, some
bloody underwear and blOod-stain-
ed sheet and bedspread when he
visited the Grady home today. The
clothing was covered with mold and
gave evidence that it had lain on the
moist ground for several months.
A squad of policemen was sent to
the Grady home this afternoon to dig
in the cellar in the belief that the
woman's body would be found, and
an examination of the furnace ashes
will be made.
According to the police, Mrs. Grady
was married twice before she became
the bride of the. hotel chef eight years
ago. While she was chorus girl she
married4a man named Council. Her
