COSTELLO CONFESSION HITS
SOME PROMINENT MEN
A part of the 25O-page confession
of Thomas Costello, confessed col
lectOr and gO-between operating in
connection with the vice ring of the
city and the administration officials,
was given out by States Atty HOyne
yesterday. He says it will take
year to prepare the evidence so as to
include all guilty ones.
State Senator John Broderick was
the biggest man hit by the expose.
According to Costello, Broderick got
$50 week from a gambling house.
This he was supposed to turn over to
Capt. ThOs. Duffy, then in charge of
the RawsOn st. police district.
Oscar De Priest, negro alderman
from the second ward, made more
than Pres. Wilson," although that
executives salary is $4,000 a year.
Seven thousand a month was the
drag taken from $50 bTOthels and
gambling hells.
Harrison Streeter, investigator for
the Committee of Fifteen, was also
pointed at by Costello as a CRATER.

robbers who have called without
printed invitation on several of our
society families of late have come
to look upon an ordinary private
Waterman as a mere toy.
This morning three WOuld-be
house breakers tOyed with Geo. Gre
gier. And he's a natty private watch
man. George spotted the men trying
to pry their way into the Parkway
possibly to get a cup of
tea.
'Haltr' shouted George, in regular
Waterman voice. And throw up
your mitts."
So, being real cOngenial, all three
of the tea fends walked up to George
and pushed their guns in his face.
George forgot to draw his own gun,
dern it, so they drew it for him. Also,
one of the men took his club. Then
they walked away and left George all
by himself.
Anyway, the Parkway tearOom's
tea was saved.

TRACTOR FARMING IN FRANCE
Number Of Machines In Use viii Be
Increased Enormously After
the War.

The French government has estab-
hshed a commission to promote what
We may call mechanical farujng after
the war. This commission finds that a
considerable number OF tractors are al.
ready In use In French agriculture. and
that their number can be increased
enormously az soon as the war ends.
II Is looking out now for the plows.
harrows, drills. etc, to be hauled BY
these tractors. and seeking mechanical
training for the young men and wom-
en- who must operate them
The possibilities In this line are very
great. French farms are small, to
he sure, much smaller than the unit
area which has been found most profit
able for tractor operation. But there
are no fences between the fields, one
or two good tractors could do the plow-
