requesting to help him-the city civil
service commission.
The less said about the city civil
service commission the better. Har-
mon Campbell, business manager of
The Examiner, is president of the
commission. That ought to be
enough.
Hoyne started this talk about a
crime trust with what he was pleased
to call an exposure" of the clair
voyant trust.
Since then Hoyne has explained,
through the trust newspapers, how
Barney Bertsche, the saloonkeeper,
and his pals, induced the members of
the clairvoyant trust to come to Chi
cago.
That's all bunk. If there was any
thing that drew the crooked clair
voyants to Chicago it was not any
Hearst -disliked saloonkeeper. 1t was
the trust newspapers that take the
dirty money of clairvoyant crooks for
lake clalrYoyant advertisements, and
Maclay Hoyne knows that just as
well as do. s..,
If Hoyne is not fully convinced of
it, he had better look up the records
of his own Office and see how the last
grand jury suggested the passing of
a law which would make newspaper
publishers who published clairvoyant
ads equally responsible for any swim
dies pulled off by the clairVoyants
with the clairvoyants.
From his talk about the elairvoyant
trust, Hoyne wandered on to big
talk about a general crime trust, and
the Hearst newspapers began egging
him on to arrest William R. Skid
more.
1 never met Billy Skidmore-I
never have been in his saloon, and
would not know Billy SHdmore from
Adam if I saw him.
The day book., 1913-05-14

pretty fair indication to me that
Skidmore must have some good in
him. y .5
So 1 don't take much stock in all
this Hearst Hoyne-H HaTTison-Hotair
about Skidmore being a graft collec-
tor. RI
1 do not know that any graft is be-
ing collected in Chicago just now,
but I am mighty sure of one thing
whatever graft is being collected is
NOT being collected by enemies of
the administration.
And Skdmore is Sullivan Demo-
crat and is about as welcome around
the City Hall as Roger Sullivan
would be in Hearst's chop suey joint
at Madison and Market.
So not even double-leaded Hearst
stories can make me believe that
Skidmore has been collecting graft
during Hearst administration.
The Hearst newspapers indicate
that their evidence against Skidmore
will be that crooks frequented Skid
more's saloon at West Lake and
Robey streets.
That's bunk. If anyone win give
me long enough expense account
and plenty of investigators I'll prove
the same thing about any big saloon
in any busy district in Chicago.
Naturally, crooks frequent saloons
Where are they going to meet their
pals and where are they going to
drink if they don't?
And, naturally, also, piekpockets
frequent the best class Of saloons. It
is in such saloons that the pichngs
are best.
It may be, as Hoyne himself says,
that great deal of his talk about a
"crime trust" is manufactured by the.
literary gentlemen on the trust news
papers. Il
don't know about that. I know
that these statements have been putF

Tariff ContsTees Dispose Of Two.
More Schedules.
HOUSE WINS WOOL VICTORY
Senate Recedes From Its Amendment|
to Free List the Cheaper Grades
Of Blankets.

Washington, Sept 16.-Most of the
knotty problems in the wool and pa
per schedules were disposed of by
the house and senate conferees OH
the Democratic tariff bill and a good
start was made on the sundries
schedule.
One of the important agreements
occurred when the senate conferees
receded from the amendment to free
list the cheaper grades of WOODEN
blankets ard accepted the house par
agraph making them dutiable at %
per cent ad valorem.
The paragraph on wooden yarns
was compromised by splitting almost
equally the difference between the
two houses, the house having voted
a 20 per cent and the senate Is
per cent duty.
A speech in support of the tariff
was made in the senate by Senator
Thomas OF Colorado, a Democratic
member OF the finance committee.
The senator had prepared his
speech for delivery during the tariff
debate, but was prevailed upon TOD
withhold it so that passage of the1
bill might not be delayed.
He warmly defended the sugar
schedule and declared that much of
the agitation against free sugar byl
the beet sugar industry was based
on a misapprehension.
