Policeman Louis +. Balletto, recently

Mission district was drawn into the
police scandal yesterday as the ninth
member of the department to come un-
der the cloud of suspected completely
in the doings Of the bunko ring.
Balletto, while not yet formally ac-
cused of any crime, is suspected OF
having received a bribe Of $40 for sup
pressing certain facts regarding the
scandal, and District Attorney Fickert
announced that the matter had been
under investigation and would be
brought to the attention of the new
grand jury as soon as it is impaneled.
If the evidence is sufficiently de-
veloped,' said Mr.. Fickert, s'the Bal
letto matter will be taken up without
delay, but I do not care to discuss the
nature of the case further at this
time
NO CONFESSION OF CRIME
There has been no confession OF
crime by the five officers mentioned as
having applied for immunity baths.
The sole question involved has been
the matter of whether the district -ata
torney's office would allow them to
plead guilty under certain circum-
stances This would be- hinged upon
whether Esola would be given light
or heavy sentence.
The district attorney has said that he
will not allow the accused to escape.
and it now seems that all of the men
who have attempted in an indirect
manner to obtain lenciency will get
the full force of their sentences.
Former Police Sergeant Frank Esola
will not submit to an immunity bath.
and has told the district attorney that
it is no use to try to get him to give
up any information that he may pos
sess regarding the operation of the

Greatest Damage in and Near Omaha.
BY far the greatest damage was
done in and near Omaha, Neb,
through part of which a terrific wind
swept Sunday evening, throwing down
many substantial buildings, ripping off
roofs and siding of hundreds Of
houses and Staying men, women and
children by the score.
The storm kept it's work secret
from the rest of the world for hours
by breaking down all wire communica-
ton. Messengers with news stories
had to go by train to Lincoln, the
state capital, to give out the first def.
/ mite tidings of the disaster.
Uninjured Citizens Rescue the Victims.
In the early hours of the night, un.
injured citizens worked desperately to
remove such persons as had been
caught beneath RACED buildings. The
debris caught fire in many places and
many persons were painfully burned
before they could be extricated from
broken timbers.
No great number was killed at any
| one place. The wind swept along, TAX
| ing it's toll here and there. The tor
nado even jumped over portions Of
the city in it's path, swooped down
again and dashed distractions to
earth.
The gale left Omaha only to swoop
on to towns in Iowa in the same de-
structiye manner. The rage of the ele-
ments even extended in somewhat

No sooner had the great wind passed
than second violent gale swept over
much of the same territory, but with
lessened fury.
The sleet and wind storm of the last
few days had reduced telegraph and
telephone companies to sore straits, as
hundreds of poles and thousands of
miles of wire were carried down in a
terrible tangle.
In many cases large regions We're
unable to use commercial telegraph
facilities, and news associations were
compelled to send reports in the most
circuituous ways in order to reach the
newspapers.
Flood swept through several Wiscon-
sin cities, damaging many thousand
dollars worth of goods in Easements.
Dams were washed out in many places
and the released waters swept over

All Elements Seem to Meet in Chicago
In Chicago, all the elements seemed
to meet shortly after Easter Sunday
had closed. The wind blew a violent

places, hail crushed windows under

Dead at Terre Haute.
Terre Haute, Ind, March 60
Eighteen persons known to have been
killed, $50 injured, 275 homes de-
stroyed and other property damage
estimated at nearly a million dollars,
was the toll Of the tornado that devas-
tated Terre Haute and vicinity Sun
day night.
Now the officials in charge OF the
rescue work say the list Of dead will
be increased as the ,searchers clear
away the debris of wrecked buildings.
Hundreds of homeless are being
cared for by charitable institutions
and citizens, while the wrecked dis
trict is being patrolled by Co. B, First
regiment, Indiana national guard and
the police. The militia was ordered
out by Gov. Ralston, who directed the
relief measures from Indianapolis.
The rescue work was carried on fast
and 1t ROW appears that all the
homeless are being cared for by char
table institutions and citizens. In
many cases private homes were turned
into temporary hospitals. Narrowing
stories of their experiences are told
by the survivors of the storm. Tte
scenes in the wrecked sections in
Terre Haute brought tears to the eyes
of the rescuers whose attention often
was called to the dying, trapped in the
debris of their homes by agonizing
screams for aid. Some died before
they could be freed from wreckage
and others were rescued with diff

THE REACTION TO SULZER.

Every day that the disgraceful muss in New York
continues II becomes palmer that reaction of SEN
timent in favor of Governor Sulzer is going on.
Whatever may be the facts in New York and there
is reason to believe this is just true there as else
Where-it is certain that outside of New York in the
country at large, among the mass of people who
dread and detest Tammany, there is growing feel
ing that Sulzer has been made the victim of quite
as much of his enemies Vaccinations as Of his own
weakness and folly For that weakness and folly ne
is deserving of full punishment; but, the less,
neither he nor his State is entitled be victimize+
by Tammany conspiracy.
Tammany Hall has determined 10 ruin Suzer and
hurl him from office, not because he may be per-
sonay dishonest but because he refuses to be pub
licly dishonest
The same legislature which makes pre-
tense Of virtue, acting under orders from the same
Murphy, refused to impeaCh one of its own number
former Senator SrlweIl against whom there WAS
enough evidence to send him to the State peniten-
tIary where he now is because StlweIl was public
crook who played the game for the profit of Tam
many
If Suzer lied about his campaign contributions
which is the worst charge against him his lie hurt
no but himself

the funds to corrupt the ballot box or alter any of
the returns.

IF HUERTA SHOULD BE ELECTED?

The American Government has withheld recog-
milton from Huerta, not on the ground that he is
president at the price of assassination but that he is
not constitutional president
Now Huerta is said to plan resignation and run
ming in the coming election. If elected he would
be constitutional president.
But his relations to the murders that opened for
him way to the presidency would not be changed
by giving him the color of constitutional title to his
Office.
Mexico would be no better off than Its
chance for reforms which must have before il can
be fit place in which to live, would be just as
good as the moral character and statesmanly quality
of Huerta.
What would Washington do about that?

THE LOAN SHARK LOBBY.

Those WaShingtonians who were interested IN the
long and strangely arduouS fight to get an ant-oan
shark bill passed will not require much more test-
mony 10 convince them that there a highly
organized and well funded opposition TO that
measure. They did not need, indeed, the testimony
that has been given by the dscredited McMchaels
this point Whether McMichaels has told the
truth, any part of the truth, bald lie, is not
very important in the minds Of these people. They
know that there something passing strange in the
circumstances that made it impossible to get action
that legislation for month after month, when there
was not a serious opposition to it on its merits.
There were persistent reports that a great fund
had been raised by people engaged in this business
throughout the country to prevent, at any cost the
adoption of Federal legislation which might be taken
as a model by States. Something strangely like
paralysis settled down upon the processes and
mechanism through which legislation gets written
into the statutes. 1t not much open opposition
determined purpose 10 do nothing.
The public utilities legislation had similar
experience. So did the excise measure. McMichaels
testified in good deal of detail about the raising of
fund to fight the loan shark legislation The results
that were accomplished justify fully the prima facie
belief that some extraordinary influences at
work, and that they strangely potent, not only
in the case of the loan-shark legislation but in that
of the excise and public utilities measures.
Having decided that the Senate investigation of
the lobby charges not good and thorough enough
for the purposes of the House, the House is now
under obligations to 60 to the limit in its own
inquiry. The country is entitled to know all about
these things. The city of Washington, which seems
tc have been marked as chief victim, is particu-
arly concerned to understand exactly how it is gov
erned and what are the influences that could make
the House Committee on District of Columbia so
long sit idle and refuse to perform its duties. Let
the probe 60 on without mercy or relentng.

petty grafters-all the allies and benefciarles OF
Tammany Hall.
The whole fight being waged in New York
is not question of Suffers integrity; il is que 'ton
of Tammany's Crminality, which it insists upon Beng
allowed to pursue without molestation.
With Sulzer given drumhead Courtmartlal and
driven out of camp because he refused to take orders
and be a partner to the debauchery of a Common
wealth, it will be many a long day before another
governor or any other official, in New York will
dare throw down the gauntlet to Tammany Hall
