JOKES ABOUT DEATH, FOUND DEAD LATER
William Lewis Had Offered to Gamble With Friend on Their Chances
 for Life.

But few hours after he had jolled with several over the chances of be- ing claimed soon by the Grim Reaper and had offered to gamble with the occupant of the next room. also a victim of illness, as to which one Of them would be taken, William Lewis lifeless body was found in his room at the York hotel on Main street. He had been i'll for about a week with grip and complications which. it is believed, developed into pneumonia. Dr. Harry A. Elcock, medical ex aminer, was called and, after view ing the body gave permission for its removal to the morgue of M. J, Kenney & Co.,. at 351 Main street, where it is being held pending the To- eating of relatives
 The body of Lewis was discovered by Fred Wilson. occupant of near by room, who was about to go to work and called to see how the grip victim was getting along. Had the visit been but a few minutes sooner it is believed that Lewis would have been found alive. One of his hands clutched the knob of the door inter vening between his room, No. 21, and the next one. as if he had felt the fatal attack coming on, had tried to call aid but was too weak to leave his bed. As Wilson entered the room, the hand slipped from the knob, there was 8 slight gasp from the figure on the bed and death had paid it's final call.
 Lewis, was was about 45 years old, formerly lived in Berlin. He came to New Britain several months ago and had been a lodger at the Hotel York for about two months.

START ATTEMPT TO
 CLEAR LEWIS NAME
Friend Receives Word Man Possibly Not Suicide, Was Seem Leaving
 Models Home.

Pittsburgh, Jan. 9.-The movement to clear the name of Bernard w. Lew is of the suspicion that he murdered Maizie Colbert at her apartment in Philadelphia, before taking his life in Atlantic City last week, took form to- day when g number of his close friends, including his attorney, Rob- ert k. Dodds, began the investigation of a report that two men had seen a man leaving the woman's apartment shortly after the murder was believed to have been committed.
 This story came to James F. Nc Fadyan, general manager of the Union Stock Yards, in letter from Cleveland, the writer asking that his name be kept secret until he could have an opportunity to see a photo graph of Lewis and thus determine whether the man he and his com panion saw leaving the place was the Pittsburgh broker. Lewis friends de- clare that he was not vicious and that he killed himself after learning that a warrant had been issued for his ar rest, because he could not endure dis grace.

LITTLE GREEN BOOK" SHOWS POLICE GRAFT IN CHICAGO
Records of Disreputable Re- sorts Unearthed By Prose- cutor After Arrest of Chief and Lieutenant.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-The innermost workings of an alleged police graft system, according to the belief of States Attorney Maclay Hoyne, was revealed in a little green book" taken from Police Lieutenant Angus tus White, whose arrest with his com- panions preceded the arrest last night of Chief of Police C. c. Healy, at the states attorneys orders.
 Confessions have been obtained from some of the men now in GUS tody, States Attorney Hoyne an- nounced today.
 The list of alleged shady hotels, gambling houses and resorts. together with cryptic notations on tho pages day by the prosecutor as clearly proving allegations of wrong.doing lodged against tho police.
 The little book enumerated the places under headings: Hotels, Saloons, gambling, Chiefs list''. Gan be raided', Can't be raided'', transient houses" and disorderly houses.
 In front of addresses were figures such as 40 and 150 and following ad-
 
 tional notes reading "one way, two ways" Or three ways. These nota- tions were held by the states attor- ney to show the amount of protec- tion money paid by the places indi- cated.
 The interpretation placed on the chiefs list" by the prosecutor was that there was no division of pay ments in this list, they alh going to the head of the police department.
 The three way division, according to the prosecutor. meant that the pro- lection money was to be divided be- tween Thomas Costello, classed as a go-between; Mike D. Pike" Heitler, known as the boss of the West Side Levee", and William Skidmor, a sa- loon keeper, who were arrested with Lieutenant White.
 Lieutenant White, MT. d1oyne said, insisted that the book was merely a record kept of the disreputable places in the police district, of which he as- sumed command several weeks ago.
 Chief Healy, whose resignation was presented to the mayor last month, said today he had placed the entire matter in the hands of his attorney.
 Beyond declaring my innocence of these charges I have nothing to say,' he said.
 Hearing on the charges against Chief of Police Healy was continued for ten days in the municipal court at the request of the states, attorney. The. bonds were reduced from $100,- 900 to s25.O00.
