Former Editor of Journal.

Looking the best of health and

results of his trip to Costa Rica in
Central America, NJ. l.. Fox, who
returned here Friday night, after
an absence of nearly four months,
said to the Journal that one of the
outstanding facts in all Latin
America south of Mexico is the
determined fight that is being
made between American and Brit
ish interests for control of petro-
leum in those countries. The fight
now is acute in Costa Rica, where
Mr.. Fox put in most of his time
while in Central America, and the
outcome will not be known until

there is nothing approaching GER

nomination by the fifth ballot his
vote would begin to disintegrate,

HAD CREDENTIALS

Man Who Bought Gun With Which
Pacini Was Killed is Believed to
Have Had Forged Credentials.

One of the most interesting develop
ments in connection with the search
for the slayer Of Charles Pacini came
out today when it was learned that the
revolver purchased in Kenosha and
used at the shooting of Pacini was
bought by man who carried creden-
tials which indicated that he was a
member of the Chicago police depart
ment. 1t is declared that the creden-
tials were properly signed and sealed
in the regular way under the seal of
the city of Chicago. It is thought pos
sible that the credentials were either
stolen or forged but the discovery has
added a very interesting angle to the
search for the Pacini slayer. 1t was
admitted that officials from Kenosha
were investigating in Chicago. Chief
Of Police DsHare was not at his office
this morning but it was said that he
was not in Chicago.

Clifford E. Randall of Kenosha by a

Of all the votes cast in Racine county
and his plurality of nearly 1000 over
Judge Randall in the Racine county
vote gave him a lead that it was i'm
possible for Randall to overcome even
though he was the victor over Cooper
in the other counties of the district.
Kenosha county gave Congressman
Randall splendid home county en-
dorsement and he led Cooper in this
county by nearly thousand votes.
He had margin over Cooper in Wal
worth, Waukesha and Rock counties,
but when the Racine returns came in
these pluralities for the Kenosha man
dwindled before the big vote cast for
Cooper in his home county.
