HEARST IS BALLYHOO MAN
FOR CHICAGO LOAN SHARKS


Cases against 1900 loan sharks
are pending in the federal courts.
Of these 300 are against the three
companies in Chicago controlled by
Frank Jay Mackey, society king and
loan shark. In the list of victims of
the man who once entertained the
late King Edward is a woman who
was driven to a madhOuse by her
worry over the bounding of Mackey.
Other stories concern the crush.
ing of men and women, struggling to
provide food for children on low
wages, and instances wherein they
were forced to pay as high as 800 per
cent interest on the money loaned
them.
Many Of the victims of the loan
sharks of the Mackey type have been
caught in the net by means of ads
in HeaTst's Chicago Examiner.
William Randolph Hearst gets a
huge slice of the money wrung from
the poor. In the Examiner one can
always find three to five columns of
loan sharks ads. Mackey in partic-
Ular has been nice to Willie Hearst.
It is estimated that Mackey has
handed over fortune to Hearst for
ads as his share of the spoiIs for
sending new victims to Mackey.
Even after the exposure of Mack
ey's operations Saturday the Exam
iner has continued trying to entice
new suckers" for the social lion
shylock In Sundays and this morn
fng's Examiner a large-sized ad in
vites the down-trodden to the Chica-
go Mortgage Loan Co. if they are in
need of financial aid. The Fidelity
Loan Co., also Mackey concern,
uses the Examiner to get in touch !
with prospective victims. Both con-

FOUR THOUSAND PASS THROUGH

We're on our way to Mexico to get
Carranza, Villa and the whole blamed
bunch of greasers."
This was the cry Of some 1000 Con-
necticut troops that passed through
Rock Island today on special trains
on the Rock Island Milwaukee lines.
Flags waving and with shouts and
songs the boys from the east yelled
and cried their patriotism to the good
old Z. S. A. They way they yelled for
the colors gave no doubt that if they
get into Mexico they will depopulate
the land of the greasers.
At S:25 last night the first trainload
of Connecticut artillery passed
| through Rock Island over the Rock
Island lines. There were 500 on the
train At II last night the second
| trainlOad passed through this city over
| the Milwaukee lines. 1t carried Con-
necticut infantry. There were 500 men
| on the special.
| At 1870 this morning the third
| special stopped at the Milwaukee de-
| pot 1t carried 400 members of Con-
necticut infantry. An hour later a
| fourth train bearing 500 infantrymen
passed through on the Milwaukee. On
| the Rock Island lines, at LOS this at
| ternoon a trainload of infantry passed
through. At las another special
drew up to the Thirty-first street sta
ton, where engine and crew were
changed.

night on both roads Members of
| Company A while waiting for the call
from Springfield met the trains at the
depots and saluted the boys from the
east
There was a longing look in the
eyes of the Rock Island militiamen.
That they were envious of their east
ern compatriots who have been
called out early in the trouble there
is no doubt and many hopes and wish
es were expressed that the war de-
partment and Springfield would get
busy right away and summon the Sixth
Illinois.
1t was worth while sight to see a
troop train. 1t aroused patriotism and
feeling of pride in the American,
The flags waving in the air, the
shouts for the flag from the militia
men and the eager expression on their
faces gives the onlooker a feeling of
satisfaction that he is living under the
folds of old glory.
The troops that passed through
Rock Island are like the members of
Company A. They aren't going to the
front because they have to, but be-
cause they want to go.
Cars of Field Wagons.
The trains contain eight fiat cars on
which the field wagons are carried.
There are also five freight cars IN
which arms and other equipment are
carried and a dozen or more passen-
ger coaches on which the men ride.

were bound for Nogales, Ariz. After

ARE TO DROP SEARS OFFICE

More of the new south side territory
annexed to the city a year ago, will
receive the benefit of the free delivery
service of the Rock Island postoffice,
commencing tomorrow. A year ago
the service was extended as far south
as what is now Twenty-ninth avenue,
or formerly Center station. The new
route to be added will include the
whole of the old town of Sears, and
run as far north as it is possible to
extend it, and it may be that in the
same connection more of the territory
south of Twenty-ninth avenue will also
be taken up, but portion at least,
will still be served by the rural car
rier.
1T is the desire of the postoffice,"
said Postmaster Simpson this morning,
TO cover the entire annexed territory
with city carrier service as rapidly as
possible. Considerable Roadway has
already been made, but some of the
territory is so sparsely settled. that
1t will be impossible to reach it at the
present time. How far the service will
go now, will depend upon circum-
stances and conditions, and the extent
that each patron of the Office complies
with the regulations as to house num-
bers, providing mail receptacles and
sidewalks. People in the new territory
have cooperated TO large extent with
these supulations, and if they will con-
tinue further TO assist the postoffice
it will not be long until they will re-
ceive the benefits of the city service.
To Abolish Once.
In a short time the Sears Office will
be abolished as distributing station
but will be continued as a postal sta
ton of the Rock Island office, that is
to say the branch postoffice will he
abolished.
Furthermore, commencing Monday,
carriers will begin their vacations, and
this VIII necessitate a number of sub
stltutes being placed on the routes
and while these are all trained and ef-
fclent men, and will do their utmost
some unavoidable errors may occur.

and promptly advise this office of any
errors"
