Serious Injury in Auto Spill.

Serious Injury in Auto Spill.
Blinded by the glazing headlights
OF an approaching car, Lewis
Schlicht, narrowly escaped injury
Thursday night. about a30, when
his car left the road short distance
south Of the lend Of the pavement in
South Twelfth avenue and went into
the ditch, Sehlicht escaped with
nothing more serious than a bloody
nose. His car was only slightly
damaged.
Whether Schlicht was alone in the
car at the time OF the accident seems
to be matter Of controversy be-
tween Schlicht and those who were
at the scene shortly after the car
went into the ditch. According to
neighbors OF the scene there were
four persons in the car. two men
and two women, and both women
We're injured, one apparently quite
painfully. They said the women
We're hurried to the city but they
We're not taken to either Of the hos
pitfalls. Schlicht, who is a lineman
for, the Iowa Railway and Light
Company, declared he was alone in
the car Schlicht's' sister, Mrs. Ed
gar G. LaPlant. 511 Woodbury. street,
said her brother, who rooms at her
home, was not alone In the car but
she refused to say who was with
him. Later, when seen at the house,
Mrs. LaPlant said her brother had
told her he was alone but that 9TH
ers who Were at the scene OF the
accident had said he was accompan-
led by woman. She declared, how
ever. that the accident had resulted
In no injury.
About a half hour after the
Schlicht car went into the ditch two
Fords. said to be from Dubuque,
passed the scene and as the drivers
OF the cars were looking at the
Schlicht auto In the ditch. collided.
tearing one wheel from each car. No
one was injured. One car was said
to be occupied by three persons and
the other by a lone woman. None of
the occupants Of the Fords could
be located In the city today.
Schlicht's car recently was pur-
chased by Schlicht from the Auto
salvage Company. which had bought
1t Of the Mcmahon automobile Com
spany. of State Center. The number
OF the car, was secured. and it was
found that the car is registered in
the name of Arthur Goodman, Of
State Center. Attic having changed
hands two or three times since he
had 1t registered it still appears in
his name on the records Of the coun-
ty treasurer.

him that If he was elected that he
would put a eOlOred man in his Office
as a clerk.
As Mr.. Sullivan was never known
to break his word as his word at all
times was his bond, the eolored people
throughout Cook County and Chicago
voted almost sOlidly for him and he
was the only Democrat elected in Cook
County in the great Republican land
slide in 1890.
His election as Clerk of the Probate
Court with the aid of the eolOred
voters was the corner OF the founda-
tion stone of his future political and
financial success.
In consideration of the splendid vote
which Mr.. Sullivan received from the
eolored Republicans of tbs city he ap-
pointed Mr.. William @. Anderson as
the official stenogapher of the Probate
Clerk s office and his private secretary
that responsible position Mr.. Anderson
filed with great credit to himself and
to the eolored people during the four
years that Mr.. Sullivan honorsbly
served as Clerk of the Probate Court.
Mr.. Anderson after he had finished
his duties for the day attended law
school at night finally graduating as a
full fedged lawyer prior to becoming
connected with the Probate Clerk 3 Of
fee Mr.. Anderson had for some time
filed an important position as stenog-
rapher to Judge John Barton Payne,
who is Secretary of the Interior under
President Woodrow Wilson.

Office was admitted to the Bar of Hi

THE LATE ROGER G. SULLIVAN
WAS ELECTED CLERK OF
THE PRoBATE COURT IN 1880
WITH THE AID OF THE COL
oRED VOTERS OF CHICAGO.


In our article last week on the fu-
neral of the late Roger C. Sullivan
short reference was made to his selec-
tiou of William G. Anderson, as his
private secretary and at this time we
feel that it will not be out Of place
to shed little more light on just how
Mr.. Sullivan was elected Clerk of the
Probate Court in 1890 with the aid of
the eOlored voters.
If our memory serves us correctly
Thomas W. Sennott was the Repubh-
can candidate for Clerk of the Probate
Court and at the beginning Of that
election a delegation Of eolored RePub-
Heans called on Mr.. Sennott with the
view of aseertaining that if the col
Ored people Loyalty supported him at
the polls and if he was elected would
he appoint a bright and intelligent col
Ored man to a responsible position in
his Office. .--s
Right of the bat Mr.. Sennott, frank
ly and fatty informed the delegation
of cOlored Republicans that he would
do nothing of the kind, that it was
alright for cOlored people to vote the
Republican ticket but the time had not
yet arrived for them to be employed
as clerks in any Of the Offices and that
''he could be elected Clerk Of the Pro-
bate Court without the aid of the
Niger vote"
His last remarks fred up the eOlOred
people in all parts Of this city and they
held public meeting all over Chicago
and passed resolutions in which they
very bitterly denounced Mr.. SennOtt.

some delegation of eolOred men headed
by the late ]. E. W. Thomas and the
late John Q. Grant, called on Roger c.
