GAMBLERS TIPPED OFF
BY WINDY CITY BABIES
Court Lookouts" Notify Vice Ring
in Advance Of Raids, Judge
Charges.

CHICAGO, Dec 24.-Babies are the
connecting link between the Chicago
vice ring" and the tipsters alleged
to be working in city courts. II was
disclosed today.
Chief Justice Harry Olson, Of the
municipal court, charged that the
leak" which has made it possible for
gamblers and other underworld
habitues to evade police raids had
been traced to children bribed by pro-
fessional bondsmen to tip on law
breakers.
The matter came to notice when
Capt. James Gleason, of the Fillmore
district, succeeded in trapping sew
enty-five gamblers by going to Judge
Olson for warrants without trusting
open court action. The result was
the most startling series of raids Chi
cago has known in years.
There are leaks In some OF the po-
lice courts" said Judge Olson. "and
the underworld is getting its infor-
nation through tipsters using little
children as go-betweens. The bonds
men bribe the babies with candy and
pennies. The police never thought
OF suspecting the children.
Lovin' Putty Anixter, the most
notorious Of the gamblers arrested.

tated by war among the gamblers

The majority OF the changes In the
reromrn rdrt'ons by Admiral Sims
that the distinguished service medal
be given nineteen officers OF his over
seas staff were made by the Naval
Board of Awards, and not by Secre-
tary Daniels, II was announced today
by the Navy Department.
Six Cited for Medals.
OF the nineteen officers recon-
mended by Admiral Sims for the dis
tinguishcd service medals only six
were cited for medals by the Naval
Board Of Awards. the others being
recommended for the naval cross, q
lower decoration.
The boards findings were changed
BY raniels so that three officers were
cited for the distinguished service
meual instead Of the naval cross, and
three named for the naval cross as
against the b6 ards Recommendation

ees.ne,dations and Chanxes.

II Will be noted from this record
Admfral Sims recommended nineteen
Officers under his command IN Europ
for the Distinguished Service Medal
| The board Of award, OF which Rear
Admiral Austin NJ. knight is chair
man, allowed Sims men only six
Distinguished Service medals and
changed all the others to Naval Cross
awards, and Secretary Daniels coin
cfded with Ad niral Sims In six cases
but In only three Of these cases he
sided with Admiral Sims As against
the board Of awards. =
Admiral Sims believes the most
nagrant case Of injustice was done to
Commander J. v. Babcock. who was
Sims aide Throughout, the war. The
admiral recommended him for the D.
8. NJ. but both the board and Mr.
Daniels reduced this to a Naval Cross
Take Up Each Case.
The Congressional Investigation will
take up each case recommended By
Admiral Sims, and will call for all
docu .nents on which the board and
Secretary Daniels reached their conz
clusions. Admiral Sims has raised
question Of fact, SO II will require the
production Of evidence before a COM
petent Judge, In the persons Of th-
members Of Joint Congressional
committee.
Secretary Daniels will make no com
ment on the letter Of Admiral Sims.
He indicated, however, that the work
Of awarding medals had by no means
been completed and that II any In
justice were done. and II were called
to his attention, he would take steps
to remedy the wrong.
Secretary Daniels would not answ er
. question as to whether Admiral
Sims, who Is now head of the Naval
War College at Newport had commit
ted an infraction Of the rules which
might render him amenable to dis
cipline. Opinion on this differs In
naval quarters, but II Is assumed that
Admiral Sims will not be challenged,
az Secretary Daniels holds that any
person. even outside Of the navy. has
a perfect right to appeal to him In
case Of injustice and this Is exactly
what Admiral Sims has done.

Lightning Does Damage.

Lightning struck in Cottage Grove
and Deerfeld Monday night when show
ers passed over this section and much
rain fell. At Nora, just across the
road from the Ole T. Olson place, a
barn filled with hay was set on fire and
horse burned on the place of Adolph
Schadel. Along with the barn there
was also destruction by the blaze of
valuable tobacco shed. The owner
had but little insurance on the prop
erty. The barn was finished in the
spring.
Nelson brothers in the town of Deer
field suffered loss of large barn and
six big horses that could not be rescued
and many sets of harness and other
property including much fine hay. This
fire occurred about the same time as
that in Cottage Grove.

Ringing Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Shows Arouse Keen Interest Here.

Circus Day." the big holiday for
which young and old impatiently wait
at this particular season promises to
eclipse all other events of the calendar
year at Madison, Saturday, Aug %.
1t would seem as though everybody
in this locality were planning to attend.
The very name of the great new circus
Ringing Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey Combined--has been sufficient to
arouse far more interest than has ever
been shown in the coming of any
amusement enterprise Any word from
the Ringing Brothers, who are the di-
rectors of this gigantic super-circus, is
to the effect that those who attend the
performance will witness the greatest
program ever presented in America.
This is likewise true of the mammoth
street parade, which will positively
take place showday morning, the mann
moth menagerie and all else connected
with this biggest of all amusement in
situations. The famous showmen have
made complete survey of both the
great circuses and merged the finest
and best of each into one Hundreds
upon hundreds of performers will ap-
pear in the gigantic main-tent. There
will be scores upon scores of the clev-
crest dumb actors. A gorgeously CO.'S
tuned pageant, of stupendous size,
will open the program.
