Death Threats Made i'm
Chicago Building Probe
Efforts Charged to Intirnidate
Witnesses; New Evidence
of Graft Obtained
Special Dfsnafoll fo Ths TribMn1

Speetdt DtSDdfoh TO The Tribuns
CHICAGO, May 11.--Threats of death
made TO intimidate witnesses sum-
moned by the Daley Legislative Com
mission, and new reports of cases
where graft was extorted from owners
Of buildings, came to-day as the special
state grand jury delved deeper into the
evidence turned over to it by the COM
mission,
The grand jury was still occupied
with consideration of the evidence,
which is said to involve $50 members
of the Chicago Contracting Team Own
ers' Association. A new witness, Miss
Elizabeth Lee, employed in a secre-
tarial capacity at the Offices of the
association, and Miss May Credan and
May" and Margaret who already had
appeared before the Daley commission,
were witnesses before the grand jury.
The three young women seemed to
be in anything but communicative
mood, however Both Mrs Regan and
Miss Credan denied fatty that they had
any knowledge of having acted as go
hetweens in the alleged ring of graft
ing wrecklng contractors, as charged in
previous testimony.
Rumors that the proprietor of tea
garden, recently erected, had been com
pellsd to pay $4,000 TO certain union
business agent and had been threat
ened with death if he talked" have
reached the Daley commission.
Another angle under scrutiny is the
charge that business agents of the car
penters and painters unions have been
authorizing the employment of nom
union workmen, provided So day was
paid to the business agents for work
cards" The charge was laid before
the Daley commission by member
of the carpenters union.
