PROBE CHICAGO VOTES
SIGNS or BALLOT BOX STUFFiNG
ARE FOUND.
Two Hundred and Two Registered in
Precinct-231 Ballots Are
Cast.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-The first proof of
ballot-box stuffing was found by Off
Gals making the canvass of primary
returns when it was discovered 231
ballots had been cast in the Third pre-
cinct of the Fifteenth ward, where
there are only POP names on the voting
list in that precinct
The big count to determine the fate
of the many candidates began in the
offices of the election commissioners
The work went slowly and it will be
several days before the result can be
predicted.
At least two hours before the doors
of the counting-room were opened the
corridors were filed with an eager
throng. Big politicians. whose word
is law in many a precinct and district
rubbed elbows with politicians of less
er caliber.
The entrance of candidate was the
signal for d rush in his direction.
There was much handshaking: siaps
on the back were common and the
whole atmosphere betOkened the fact
that the great American game-poli-
tics-was on in earnest. But was it
an American game?
"JuSt look at those Names" an in
terested bystander said as he pointed
to a list of the officials appointed to
man the counting tables. Look at
those tellers, callers, watchers, car
riers and counters. 1t seems to me
l have been taught since early child
hood that this country is Anglo-Sax-
on, but listen"
And he read off few sample names
from the list before him: "Block,
AIuffoletto. Tyschsen. Brudnakowski,
Olson, Rokoh. O'Sullivan, Baumann."

nal was Oscar Brown, colored. Brown

a result of threats to blow up the
United States" He came to Chicago,
where he had many friends and sis
ter, Mrs. Luzike Masaloci, living at 66S
West Eighteenth street.
Within a short time after his ar
rival Mrs. Masaloci perceived that her
brother was still dangerously insane
and forbade him her house.
Mrs Masaloci lives on the second
floor. The lunatic went to a rear door
about nine O'Clock in the morning and
demanded entrance. Mrs. Masaloci
told him to go away.
"rll show you l mean business" he
said, and began shooting through the
door panel. Mrs. Masaloci told him
that If hn cfn ~

and aimed at Lyman. The detective
sergeant responded with shot. which
struck Drinzeika in the head. He was
taken to the County hospital, where it
was said he would die.

bullets, was felled when he did not
raise his hands when ordered to by
Patrolman John Shannon of the Cot
tage Grove avenue station. The negro
was standing in front of $500 South
State street. Shannon became Suspi-
cious of his actions and began to ques-
