ONE MORE WOMAN
MORRISON WIDOW
Latest Claimant Is Mrs. George
Williamson, Living at Bar
rington, Ill.

Chicago. May 29.-Another woman
claiming to be a widow of Homer E.
Morrison, appeared in Chicago yes
terday. She is Mrs. George William
son of harrington, III. She asserts
Morrison, or Williamson, as she knew
him, married her several years ago
and deserted her soon afterward.
Mrs. Williamson communicated with
a Chicago attorney by telephone and
said she had recognized the photo
graphs of Morrison, printed in Chi
cago newspapers, as a likeness of her
missing husband.
According to the police of the de-
teCtive bureau, the North Robey street
station and the Summerdale station,
other women are expected to appear
and claim on-Thompson-Wil-
more aliases will be uncovered when
these expected developments come is
conjectural, but It is commented on
as a significant fact that the last syl-
liable of each name the dead man has
been found to have used was son"
Mrs. Louis Beck Morrison and Mrs.
r w. Thompson, the two widows orig
inally discovered after Morrison's
death at the Ravens%ood hospital,
were to have met yesterday afternoon
for a conference. Neither could be
found, however, and if they met they
took every precaution to keep their
whereabouts a secret. At the two
fiat building owned by Mrs. Morrison
at 1919 North Winchester avenue
there was not a sign Of life, while a:
the home of George Koelle, 4747 West
North avenue, the same condition ex
listed.
Another woman yesterday limited
that she knew something of the secrets
of Morrison's life, but said that she
knew him under the name OF Morris
She is Mrs Carolina Sundberg, a pris
oner in the county jail on charge Of
murder. She lived in the hotel at 364
West Chicago avenue conducted by
Morrison or Morris, and said If the
police would look into his life there
they might find more interesting facts
The coroner's Office decided yester
| day that there should be no exami1a
/ tor of Morrison's body unless one o.
the widows asked it. The doctors Ger
tificate that death came from natura
causes is satisfactory to Coroner Hon
man.

RACING DOPE
BY j. Il. B.

Everything is in readiness for the
entertainment of the racing public at
the track May 80. A new refreshment
stand has been built west of the grand
stand and the grand stand repaired
to make everything comfortable and
eliminate all danger of accidents.
Tuesday was the last day of hard
work for the horses until the races.
They were given light work Wednes-
day and were only logged today so
they will be in fine condition by Fri
day.
Several of the old timo caretakers
whose faces were familiar at the track
when racing fourished here are back
again, making it look like olden times.
This is one good indication that the
horses are here for, keeps and the rae
ing season will be a good one.
Brother Bob, the speedy black pac-
er owned by Dresser of this city,
worked a couple of fast miles Tues
day and is looking better every day.
He is entered in the free for all pace.
Judge Hooker has contracted a bad
case of distemper and will not make
an appearance Decoration day. The
Judge was training nicely and going
faster than ever and would have made
the other trottTs go their best to
show him the way.
Ulrioh Muscovite, the sorrel colt
that Mike Donnelly is training, is go
ing nicely, but it is doubtful if he has
had enough training to make a good
showing so early in the season.
Major Dahnus was scratched at the
last minute, as his owner decided he
had not had enough work to be up tc
hard race. He will be seen here lat
er in the season, as will Funny Swift
and Harry Redlac of the same stable
The track has been slow and heavy
this week, but the weather has beer
| ideal for the horses. They were Civ
| en- their first real hard work this week
Leon D., driven by Peterson, and Ton
so B., driven by Banker, worked {
mile together Tuesday, going the las
half in :12. While this is nothing ex
ceptional, considering the conditions
it was a very good mile, and neithel
horse extended himself, showing tina
each had plenty OF speed in reserve
and could do much better when tn
track is fast.
The free for all pace promises to b.
real treat. Brother Bob and Leoni
D. are both fast getaway horses Will,
Wild Rose is q steady, fast going paC
er that never makes a break. Thi
event will be fought from wire to wir
and well worth the price, alone.
Lady Sheriff., affectionately know
as Bumleg, is working hard and ma.
be good horse in her class.
Don't forget that the horses ar
called at 1870 p. m, also that ban
has been engaged to furnish entertain
ment before the races and betweel
the heats.
The racing promoters have made
switch in their plans and the race
Decoration day will be three out @
five instead of two out of three. TIL
reason for this is the fine weather an
the improved work of the animals
The judges named are Hutchinson G

MYSTERY TO THE POLICE

was the victim of a mysterious shoot
ing. The inquest on the case was con-
tinued until June s. In the meantime

turbed. Gormley was married in Rock

Carey. The widow and a son, Thomas,
aged, IS, survive.
