N ANY WOMEN in
BLIND PIG CASES
Face Charge of Selling Liquor
lllegally-Most of Them
Foreigners

The first Of long list Of blind pig
cases that have accumulated during
the summer, was heard Tuesday
morning, before Judge Collingwood in
circuit court, and the rest, score or
more, will follow rapidly. The first
case was that of Lena Cocanea, who
conducted foreign boarding house
In Hamtramck. and, according to the
sheriff, furnished liquor to her board
ers as well as bed and board.
A number Of the cases pending are
against women, who are. In nearly
every case, of foreign birth. The
criminal calendar IL well stocked with
petty cases, and the county Jail Is
also well filled with prisoners. One
of the first cases to come up will be
that of Harry Jones, captain of the
houseboat that anchored OF Ecorse
and defed the sheriff on the grounds
that the boat was In federal waters
and no state license was needed fol
the selling OF liquor.

What's the Answer?

Because Germany isn't sending us
her cheap dye stuffs, our textile In.
dustries are suffering badly Can we
make our own dye stuffs? We can,
but private capital won't go into II
unless given prohibitive tariff under
which private capital will have q
cinch on charging all of US high
prices for all our dyed textiles.
What's the answer? Please some
one give us any other answer than to
have Uncle Sam do what private cap.
ital won't, without the privilege OF
skinning us.

MRS. MCCARTHY TO SHARE
IN ESTATE OF FATHER
Janitor's Wife VIII Get Nearly Half
Of $500, 600 Left by Dudley
Jardine, Bowery Recluse.

NEW YORK, October 24.-By set
tlement out Of court, Mrs. Anita Faith
full Mccarthy, wife Of a janitor at the
New York Society Library. is to share
In the 100000 estate left by her father.
Dudley Jardine. who. under the name
Of William Smith, lived and died as
Bowery recluse. Mrs. Mccarthy has
been contesting the will made by Jar
dine in 1899. which left all his estate
to his brothers, nephews and nieces.
Final judgment recognizing this Will
as authentic was signed by Justice
Lehman in the supreme court yester-
day, but it is understood that by the
settlement Mrs. Mccarthy is to re-
ceive nearly half the fortune.
Mrs. Mccarthy based her contest on
the claim that in 1911 her father made
a will leaving his estate to his family.
but that this will had been acciden-
tally burned in Atlanta. Ga. Through
depositions taken in Georgia it was
proved that such a will had existed.
Dudley Jardine, son of millionaire
organ builder, disappeared from society
thirty years ago, adopted the name OF
William Smith. and became dweller
in Bowery lodging houses Under the
name of Smith he married. After the
birth of his daughter Anita he lived
but little with his family, explaining
that he was away most of the time do
ing private detective work. Last jan
uary he died, and but for the interven-
tion Of a friend he would have been
buried in potter's feld.

HELD ON SERIOUS CHARGE
Alleged to Have Secured 800
Through Endorsement Of

q. s. Click. sixty-one years old, who
walked with the aid of crutches, ap-
peared in Police Court this morning and
answered a charge of false pretenses.
W. F. Roberts, 1413 New York avenue.
northwest. charged that Click obtained
his Endorsement to a sight draft for
s100 under false pretenses. and that he
had to reimburse the bank at which the

Click. it is charged. represented to
Roberts that he was employed at the
Capitol, and that he had the right to
draw on Ralph Cameron, member of the
republican national committee, who re-
sides at Phoenix. Ariz.
Mr.. Roberts, it is alleged, accompanied
Click to the Metropolitan National Bank,
identified him and indorsed the draft.
Later, he charges, it became necessary
for him to reimburse the bank.
Attorney I. ]. Costigan appeared as
counsel for the defendant. He waived an
examination. and the case was sent to
the grand jury. Bail in the sum of $500
was furnished for Clicks appearance.
