If the tender herbage of the

BODY OF WEALTHY ITALIAN
FOUND IN A VACANT LOT

FOUND IN A VACANT LOT
Jares Acques, 25, wealthy restau-
rant proprietor, was found shot to
death in a vacant Iot-at. 1912 S. State
street, within 200 feet of the 5Oth
street police station, early today.
His pockets were turned inside out
and his money and valuables taken.
When Acques left his home he was
wearing a diamond worth $125 and
a diamond pin valued at $65.
, Lieut.. Hogan and police of the 50th
street station believe that revenge
actuated the crime instead Of rob-
berry.
Acques' money and diamonds were
taken, it is believed, to make it ap-
pear that the murdered man was
slain while struggling with robbers.
A wOman's watch, engraved, was left
by his body, as was a razor.
A short distance from the scene
Of the crime detectives discovered a
basement room which they suspected
was gathering place for bIackhand-
ers. Anthony and Nicholas Desa-
none, occupants of the building
above the basement, will be question
ed by the police. Nicholas DesamOne
was an occasional patron of Acques'
restaurant at IA S. Halsted street.
No shots were heard at the police
station. This has led to the belief
that AcqUes, whose mission on the
South Side was mysterious, may have
been shot in some building and his
body carried to the vacant lot.
Mrs. Acques, widow of the slain
man, said her husband left their
home at IA S. HaIsted street yester-
day afternoon about 8 o'clock. She
had never heard him speak of friends
on the South Side.
AcqUes and his wife were arrested
and indicted last January, charged
with responsibility for a fire in an
employment agency they conducted
at 934 Washington boulevard.

WOMEN Of STATE
CAN BE DEPUTIES
JUDGE FRANK H. CURRY SAYS
HhRRIS-DAN CODE DOESN'T
EXCLUDE THEM.
TULSA LEGISLATOR TALKS
explains Confusing sections Of the
New Code Affecting County
Employees.

Judge Frank u. Curry, state repre-
sentative OF Tulsa county in the legis-
lature, In an interview with the re-
porter for the World, says that the
story that women can no longer be
deputies OF county officials need not
alarm the fair young ladies who now
hold down these positions.
While II IL true that section l549
Of the IIarris-Day code reads: mo
person shall be eligible TO any county
office unless he shall be, at the time
Of his election or appointment, a
qualified voter OF the county" this
section must be construed I'm cOnnec-
tion with section l54S, which pro-
yides that ''at each general election,
there shall be elected In each county
a county judge, a county >attorney. a
clerks Of the district court" etc.
II is very clear that section l549
provides that to be eligible to the Of
flee Of county judge or county attor-
ney or clerk OF the district court and
other officers named in section -54S
one must he at the time of his elec-
ton or appointment a qualified voter.
Section 1851 provides that the treas
urer register of deeds, county clerk
and the clerk of the several courts
may by permission Of the board Of
county commissioners appoint one or
two deputies, but this section does
ont require that deputies appointed
by the different county officials shall
be qualified voters.
mo, you may say for me, that
favoring as strongly as | do, the right
for women to hold positions as dep
uties under our government, | GER
tainly would feel that if the new
code contains such Il law, | would
say they had slipped one over me, -
said Judge Curry.
In this connection, | would like
to say that the bill ! passed through
the legislature and which was signed
by the governor on last Saturday, fix
ing the number of deputies and their
salaries by the county commissioners
and giving any tax payer of the
county the right to appeal from their
decision to the district court and a
jury, is in my opinion the wistest So
luton of the problem of deputies and
their salaries. | believe that eVentu-
| ally the plan will be adopted through
| out the state as o. general law"
