The officers learned of at least one
large meeting arranged by Maloof In
the interest OF certain candidates
and addresses were made by Mayor

The affair cost Maloof upwards OF
$500. There is story, too, that Ma
loot was the host OF sumptuous
dinner rendered various city officials
right around election time, and this
also cost him good-sized roll.
These reports are interesting as
bearing on the telegram Maloof sent
to two woman friends in Peoria, Ill

Winnie Morgan, In the hearing Tues
day. The telegram said: Election

public entertainer almost since he
was old enough to walk. AS mere
tot he used to accompany his father
(the family name was Esmann) to a
German garden that graced the Bow
cry, where he used to sing songs OF
the fatherland in piping voice.
Thomson made his debut as va

made the rounds OF the variety the

going strong for him. for he has been
