The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1920-09-11

If elected to the Legislature, shall
introduce aad endeavOr to have passed
the following laws which deem Of
vital importance to my people residing
in the Third Senatorial District, and
elsewhere in Illinois:
Platform
/. I am unqualifedly in favor of
the repeal of the notorious "pubie
utilities law,'' which enabled a few
men to arbitrarily increase our street
and elevated railroad fares from
cents to s and 10 cents respectively.
Under this same law the Utilities Com
mission can further raise the fares to
Is, or even 25 cents, and the public
have no redress The power to in
crease street and elevated railroad
fares should vest in the Common Coun-
els Of each Municipality.
2. am In favor Of a law which
viii prevent street car and elevated
railroad companies from overcroWding
their ears. During rush hours the COM
panies shOuld-be compelled to put on
extra ears in order to provide seats for
every one. Heavy penalties should be
provided for Overcrowding cars, and
failure to put on sufficient cars during
rush hours.
3. I am in favor Of the repeal of
the obnoxious fSearch and Seizure
Law" enacted by the last legislature.
Under this law invasion of your home
is permitted under certain conditions
4 I am strenously opposed to segre-
grafton, or any law tending to abridge
or limit, the rights Of my people, and
I would oppose most vigorously any
such law If introduced. I believe that
a colored man has the absolute legal
night to live where his money win per
NIT him to buy or rent, and that he
should not be deprived Of this Consti-
tutienal privilege as long as he behaves
himself as a gentleman
5. I am In favor Of q law which
win prevent exOrbitant prices being
charged for the rental Of houses and
fats. Houses and fats should by Law
be held to be public necessities, and
the rental Thereof should be controlled
by commission, duly empowered to
pass on any complaint arising from
exorbitant rentals.
Suppose all landlords should come to-
gether and decide to double your rent,
and demand possession If you do not
comply, where would you get relief
6. Am in favor Of the enactment Of
IN amendment to our Divorce Law. In
sases where there are children, divorces
should not be granted until the children !
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1920-09-11

have reached their majority, unless the
husband or wife, as the case may be
has absolutely and positively deserted
the other.
z. I am in favor of amending the
law on extradition, so that no citizen
can be arbitrarily rushed out Of hi
nois into another State without giving
such person q chance to defend him
self. The party sought to be extra
dited should be held by the sheriff IN
the County Jail for at least twenty
four hours before the officer Of the de-
handing State could legally take the
prisoner away on the Governors war
rant. An incident Of the abuse in this
regard is seen in the case Of a promi-
nent citizen Of Chicago, who was met
on Clark street near Washington street.
i've years ago, at about p. m. by q
county constable who was accompanied
by the Governor 3 agent Of Mississippi.
The constable meeting the citizen on
the street read the Governors warrant
to him, told him he was under arrest,
put handouts on him and Immediately
turned him over to the Governors
agent Of Mississippi At $3.50 O'Clock
the good citizen Of Chicago found him.
self on a train speeding for Mississippi.
BE was held in Mississippi for three
months before he finally proved that he
was not the man wanted in Mississippi
for this offense. Had he been able to
procure a writ of habeans corpus he
could have proven his innocence here in
Chicago without sing down into Mis-
sissippi and sacrificing three months Of
his liberty also. The Governors war
rant should be delivered to, held and
executed only by the Sheriff Of Cook
County.
Every person should be allowed 81
length Of time to procure &
lawyer for the purpose of contesting
the night Of any State to return him
10 that State for an alleged violation Of
any law, but as the law now stands,
no one, whether black or white, can

"No, just bull" said Blair.
"What is the difference between

haps, reduce the amount of credit
Germany might obtain.

Influence on the majority who pay

Berlin writer's declare that Ger.
many's political future depends, in
the last analysis, upon the working
out of the peace treaty, and that un-'
til this document has been ccnsum-
mated in all its technical details.
Germany will be unable to locate her
fresh starting point. This is re-
garded here as the crux Of the whole
situation, and Germans expect the
situation to remain acute until this
has been accomplished.
Germany's more conservative poh-
ticsl leaders frankiy admit BoIshe-
visit gains at the hext election. They
say the Reds may capture SO seats
instead Of the 20 which they won q
year ago, and that they may poll
s 100000 instead Of the a1.75o.oQ0
they obthihsd II the IAst national
election. The conservatives, how
ever, assert that the 1ndapendent.

win become less popular as the OPP
portunitfes for work increases In
Germany. IS
Political leaders say that indica-
tions point to an indefinite post
ponemeht OF the elections on the
ground that the present government
Ion the strength of its popular man
date, is entitled to continue with a
lprogram OF socialization at pace in
Keeping with the nations economic
recovery. 1t is pointed out also that
the new liberalism may satisfy itself
with, lifelong president as q sub
lstitute for constitutional mon
archy.
1t is agreed by German industrial
LEADERS that the German workers are
weary of striking and that the labor
situation has been improved SO far
as the shortage Of coal and raw ma
terials permits. The authorities say
that German industries are working
an average of perhaps four hours
daily and that this is the limit pos
sible with the present supply OF coal
When the coal situation improves 1t
will be possible, they say to make a
real Industrial beginning with raw
materials.
Germany's recovery and progress
during the next year is felt by Ger
mans to depend on whole success
sion of ifs" Many of them believe
that if Erzberger drains German in
dustries with his taxes, there is little
hope of their recovery. The same
critics declare that if the Entente
does not tighten GermanS's load a
little bit, the nation may be driven
Ito Communism. If German industry
cannot recover some measure of its
former efficiency, they say. the
world will be the loser in the end.

WOMAN RE-EXAMINED
in EWELL INQUIRY
Divorce Party" Again Enters
Investigation of Murder.

NEW YORK, July 3.-District At
torney Swami, who for weeks has been
seeking to solve the mystery of the
murder of Joseph Bovine Elwell, whist
expert and turfInan, let it be known
yesterday that his assistants had again
examined Miss Viola Kraus, whose "di-
Vorce party" on q New York roof Ell
well attended the night he was slain.
Although Miss Kraus is spending the
summer in New Jersey and is not Sub
ject to subpoena, from the New York
courts, she came here voluntarily and
consented to further questioning at her
New York residence, according to Mr.
Swami.
Miss Kraus is the divorced wife of
Victor Won Schleget, who was on the
roof the night the divorce party" was
held and who frequently has been ex-
amlned in connection with the Elwell
case.
Mr. Swami earlier announced that he
intended to re-examine the mysterious
Miss Wilson," the 'pajama girl" bits
Of whose lingerie were said to have
teen found in tie dead mans bedroom,
In an additional statement, Mr.. Swami
declared Miss Kraus denied categor~
ically that >she had. in the presence OF
Anna Kane or any other person, or at
q time when anybody else was pres
ent, uttered any threats against the
life Of Joseph b. Elwell
Mr.. Swann's statement added that
Miss Kraus stated that she had not
been deserted by Elwell and did not
fear that she would be deserted by Ell
well; that she was until recently a
married woman and she further stated
that he had never proposed marriage
to her, and the subject had never been
suggested or discussed
According to Mr.. Sw8nn's statement,
Miss Kraus said she had known Elwel
about eight years and had seen him at
Palm Beach and in New York at vari-
Gus places.
