DAVIES REFUSES To.BE oUsTED

Edgar T. Davies caused much
amusement in political circles yester-
day when he put forth the claim that
he is still state factory inspector, a
position now very well filed by Oscar
F. Nelson.
Davies made the claim when he ap-
peared to answer the states suit for
S258 worth of state property he is
alleged to hold. Davies contends
that Gov. Dunno had no right to dis
miss him. And, being still factory in
spector, he says he has a right to the
property. Moreover he claims that
Barney Cohen, deputy inspector,
holds some personal property of his
for which he will exchange the state
property. .-..."'

Leaders of the IL, 900 members of

laying plans for their merger. When
the merger of the unions is COM
pleted it will be the largest local in

The recent passage Of the street

the men to get together for protec-
ton. When the entire body of men
meet it will be necessary to rent the
Coliseum to accommodate them.
Some of the members believe that
it is too big an organization for one

ly wounding Lawrence Azukas,
saloonkeeper and politician, 1901 Au-

tender, was shot and killed by the
formers crippled son, Joseph, 18, last
night.
Machokas had been discharged by
Azukas and came to the saloon last
evening to discover the. cause of his
discharge. An argument followed
and the bartender fired three times
at Azukas, all three taking effect.
The boy, who lost an arm in an ac-
cident two years ago, heard the shots
while in his room above the saloon.
He seized a rife and hurried down.
Machokas was fleeing through rear
entrance The boy fired and the man
fell.
On the way to the scene of the
tragedy the police ambulance was
struck by a 35th street car and DR..
VIM. Borrelli was badly injured.
Azukas was a candidate for coun-

The Thaw case is striking illustra-
ton of the tendency of the times. II
il had not been for the Thaw millions
there would have been nothing OF the
csse. Of course, Thaw is not crazy
and no one has ever believed it. 1t is
unfortunate that prominent and learn
ed men can be Influenced by money IN
the way they can. Money on botn
sides of this case mas produced the
evidence each wanted, and saved
Thaw from the electric chair but
money on the other side has kept
Thaw crazy much longer than he
thought he would be- His escape and
the efforts to get him back to Mattea-
wan are disgusting and travesty on
juistce, but here again comes in the
power and influence of money. II
Tnaw's money should give out we
would hear no more of Thaw.
