So, 800, Oo0 GRAFT
COLLECTED EACH YEAR
New York Police Have Been Levylng
Enormous Toll From Vice
Districts.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Feb. S.--With his evil
dence complete to ask the grand jury
Monday for indictment against Police
Captain Thomas Walsh and Inspector
Dennis Sweeney, District Attorney
Whitman went out Of the city tonight
tic rest over Sunday, worn out with the
strain under which he had been work
ing for weeks to bring about the great
police graft disclosures.
The. confession of Captain Walsh,
with It's direct statement of dividing
the spoils Of graft with Inspector
Sweeney, is expected to result in the
speedy Indictment of these two Of
flcials. This leaves whitman free to
take up the trail that leads directly
into headquarters and from there to
enc of the leading Tammany polite
ians Of the city.
\ Walsh's confession and that OF
James Purcell, the gambler, have led
Ito an estimate of the amount Of police
graft levied from all forms of vice
and crime which places the probable
total each year close to $3,500,000.
This monstrous toll is taken, Walsh
and Purcell have shown, from disord-
|erly and gambling houses, saloons and
general crooks.

The Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-A battery of
conflicting influences reacted on the
grain market this week, with bullish
factors little the stronger. All the
cereals ended the week stronger than
the close last week.
On the side of the bears, wheat re-
ceipts continued heavy and snow fall
increased prospects for still larger
crop. On the side of the bulls, there
was brought in India, heavy export
clearances from American ports, a
strong foreign market and outlook
for small Canadian crop. The re
suit was that wheat closed an aver
age Of & cent higher than last week.
Corn was even stronger than whea.
despite proportionately heavier re-
crease in visible supply. This was
Offset, however, by heavy purchasing
for feeding purposes and a general
bullish sentiment hat the visible in
crease was relatively decreasing de-
spite large receipts. The fall In Ar
gentine supply is also being consid-
cred.
AS usual. oats was governed by the
other grains, with the added optimis-
tic factor a smaller visible supply,
compared with last year. The most
pronounced gains of the week were
made by the traders in oats.
Scarcity of hogs sent provision

AFTER COUGHING TWO YEARS
Waycross, Ga, Woman Found
 Relief in Vinol.

Did you ever cough for a weekp Then just think how distressing t must be to have a cough hang on for two years.
 Mrs. D. A. McGee, Waycross. Ca, says: q had a very heavy cold which settled into a chronic cough which kept me awake nights for fully two years, and felt tired all the time The effect of taking your cod liver and iron remedy, Vinol, is that my cough is gone. I can now get good nights rest and feel much stronger in every way. am "A years old"
 It is the combined action of the medicinal elements of the cods' liy. CTS aided by the blood-making and strength-creating properties of tonic iron which makes Vinol sc efficient for chronic coughs, colds and bIon. chitis-at the same time building up the weakened, rundown system.
 Try a bottle of Vinol with the un. derstanding that your money will be returned if 1t does not help you.

PLAN PROTECTION !. FOR SUFFRAGETTES
SYLVIA PANKHURST ANNOUNCES ORGANIZATION OF A BRIGADE
 OF BoER VETERANS.
Militant Suffraeettes outwit the Lon don Police by Strategy and Miss Pankhurst Speaks.

London, Nov 5.-By 6 clever strag- egen, which completely hodwinked the large force of police sent to pre- vent her from speaking, Miss Sylvia Pankhurst was enabled to announce at the Bow Baths, in the east end of London tonight, the formation of a volunteer corps organized under con- mand of Capt Sir Francis Vane, a Boer war veteran, for the protection of militant suffragettes and labor unionists
 Miss Zelie Emerson of Jackson, Mich, presided over the gathering. Just as the meeting was called to dr- der the statement was made that the residence of George bansbury, former socialist member of parliament and a warm supporter of the militant suf' fragettes, was surrounded .by police. The crowd rushed from the baths and found a large number of foot and mounted police around Lansbury' 8 house with @ taxicab in front Of the entrance.
 Mr Lansbmy arrived on the scene and was uproariously greeted as he entered his home.
 The lights in the house were ex- tinguished and suddenly a woman rushed from the doorway and sprane into the taxicab which, surrounded by mounted police. proceeded io Bethnal Green. Then Miss Daisy Lansbury, daughter of the eX-socialist member. stepped out much to the dis comfiture of the police
 Meanwhile Miss Pankhurst entered the baths practically unobserved. The only disorder was caused by an at tack by the women on a few re porters whom they suspected of be ing detectives. MT. Lansbury and Sii Francis Vane followed Miss Plank hurst to the platform.
 The Boer veteran explained that he proposed to establish a labor train ing corps. Waiying aloft huge knotted club, Sir Francis said he wa: prepared to use that weapon wher ever he saw women injured and in labor disputes, or wherever the op pressed needed aid
 The general staff of the organization will be drawn from officers who have seen war and both men and women are eligible for the ranks.
 
 Miss Pankhurst said the plan Wa. based on the Ulster model and she eX pected the same immunity from gov ernment interference as Sir Edward Carson enjoyed.
 When Miss Pankhurst left tho meeting she was surrounded by bodyguard and escaped withoI much injury.
