CARTER HAYES IS
WH|SKED AWAY
TOCONF|NEMENT
Duped By Investigators Who
Posed AS Prospective
Vice-Lords.

Garter Hayes, alleged runner for
the gambling syndicate which con
trols Second Ward vice, was kidnapped
at midnight Sunday ni9ht in front OF
the old Pckin, 9th and State Streets
and Whiskcd away in an automobile.
In this bare news item lies an in
tercsting and intriguing tale OF legal
ized vice controlled by an invisible
government which has made the Sec
ond Ward a refuge of safety for the
most notorious criminals OF the world.
The story begins about four wec3s
ago, when two mysterious men ap-
peared here posing as wealthy ganb-
ling promoters from East St Louis
They were suave, well dressed. and
had plenty OF money.
Would Open Gambling House
They quickly allied themselves with
the denizens OF the underworld aud
became part OF Chicago's night life.
They shot craps, played poker and
blackjack They seemed to have an
endless flow of money. II they won,
they always threw a stake to the
rats in the game, il they lost, they
took their losses gracefully and with
smile.
Finally they announced their inten-
ton OF opening a gambling house for
themselves. They were told that
such an enterprise would require the
sanction and approval OF the "syndi-
cate which controls. protects, and
leyics tribute from all South Side
gambling houses. Ii the syndicate
bars your house. all the money ON
earth can't keep you open; il the
syndicate approves your house, no
power on earth can stop you, they
were told.
"Giv-a-Dam" Jones on the Scene
About this time, they were taken in
tow by a wcll-known character in
sporting circles known as "Giv-a-
Dam Jones. Jones was evidently
figuring on percentage. He believed
that If the two mysterious strangers
made good. and he was on the inside
with them. he would have a soft
berth. Jones explained to them more
fully how necessary it was to get an
audience with some member OF the
syndicate, or his representative.
Jackson is said to have been sug-
gested as the logical man. Rumor
has it that Dan Jackson holds the key
to the syndicate and everything must
come by him. But Jackson refused to
treat with them, and thus kept his
skirts clear He evidently "smelt

The necessity of a campaign of I'M

brown rat, is an outstanding one. No
other animal or insect is so dangerous
and persistent an enemy, and no other
enemy succeeds in i~nficting the dam
age that the rat annually imposes up
on humanity. The rat population of
the United States is at least equal TO
the human population, and the same
ratio holds + for practically every
country under the sun. The bureau

value of the food and property de-
stroyed annually by each individual
rat at 81. Keeping well within the
boundaries of conservatism this means
that each year. in this country alone,
we produce $500, 100000 worth of food

Is Efficient Germ Carrier.

But the rodents enmity is far from
being satisfied by this huge economic
injury. A %frequenter of all the places
that are vile and loathsome, the rat
is a most efficient germ carrier. The
germs of the dreaded '.black death"
have killed more human beings than
all the wars of the worlds history,
and these germs are introduced into
the human system by the bite of a
rat flea. In India, no longer ago than
1896, the bubonic plague killed 9,000,-
600 persons. In Europe, during the
Fourteenth century, IT is believed to
have brought death TO 25,000,000 hui
a beings. Other diseases, almost
as dreadful, are traced to the common
rat. Thus, from the standpoint of
public health, as well as from the ne
cessity of controlling the drain upon
the public purse, 1t is essential that
the rat be eXterminated. Once the ex-
termination is complete, or as nearly
so as modern methods viii permit, ey-
cry ~precaution mus be taken to pre-
vent the rat from multiplying and re-
