SCHOOL BOARD CONDITIONS AND
COOK COUNTY REAL ESTATE
BOARD

The following, written by President
William H Loehde of the Cook County
Real Estate Board, explains itself:
Hon. Hickman Seaman, Chief Justice
Criminal Court, Criminal Court
Building, Chicago, Ill.
My dear Sir: As president of the
Cook County Real Estate Board, an
organization of conservative business
men and tax paying citizens, / desire
to compliment you on your order to
the Grand Jury of Cook County to in
vestigate certain alleged irregularities
and expenditures of public funds in
the administration of our free school
system.
While this investigation is now in
progress, and is, undoubtedly, timely
and proper, | am going to take the lib
erty to urge you, in fairness to all the
people of this great community who
are called upon to support and main
tain our public schools, to broaden
the said investigation, so as to cover
the full scope of public educational
activities, operations and expendi-
lures, past and present and proposed.
l need not remind you that the pub
lie conscience is demoraliZed and the
plain people are angered to a dan
gerous point, because of the fact that
the big profiteering criminal not only
escapes punishment, but often is pre-
sented as an eminently respectable
citizen, while the lesser criminal is
put in jail, although he is but the off
spring of the big criminal, whose eX-
ample is evil and cOrrupting. The
criminal profiteer at the top is the
gunman at the bottom of the social
structure, and it is not to be wondered
at, that juries refuse to convict the
latter even when guilty, when the
former is seen to go free with the
label of eminent responsibility.
Now, it has been repeatedly
charged, publicly and privately, that
certain great newspaper publications
in our city, by virtue of their prestige
as such, have become and are now
the beneficiaries of most profitable
public school land transactions, nego
tiated when their special attorneys
and adherents were vested with trus
teeship of school affairs.
1t is also alleged, and if true some
degree of proof should be available tc
support the allegations, that the prof
its of these real estate deals in schoo
lands are not only enormous today
but that extortionate tribute will be
exacted in the years to come, all fol
private gain and to the cost of the
school system of Chicago.
1t is, therefore, with intense inter

LA Toilette Wins
WISCONSIN AGAIN
Veteran Senator Renominated by
Republicans by Large
Majority.
GOV. BLAINE ALSO A VICTOR
Entire Ticket Believed to Have Won
Wife, Who Aided in Campaign, Sue
ceeded in Getting the Women
to Vote for Her Husband.

Milwaukee, Sept. 7.-SenatOr La
Toilette is almost 10000 votes ahead
of his opponent, William y. Garfield,
for the Republican senatorial nominal
ton, reports from 2,057 precincts out
of 2,523 in Wisconsin show. The vote
for these precincts gives La Toilette
294, 500; Garfield, 1880.
Gov. John j. Blaine's plurality
ranges around the 100000 figure and
probably will be larger. He was the
La Toilette candidate. Apparently the
entire La Toilette state ticket has been
swept to a victory by the primary re-
suits, which are of the landslide va
riety.
Milwaukee was swept into the La
Toilette column when the first figures
began to appear from the labor" sec
lions of the city. The senator's lead
in Milwaukee over w. A. Garfield, the
candidate of the La Toilette opposition,
is estimated at between 10000 and
$4,000.
Opposition Wiped Out.
1t is a serious question as to wheth-
er the Democrats or the Socialists
polled enough votes to permit either
one of them to show as a party I'M
der the Wisconsin law at the Novem-
Der election. Victor Berger, who is
again a candidate for congress in tle
Fifth district, urged Socialists to stay
in their own camp, but the figures in
dictate only negligible Socialist vote
in Milwaukee, and prObaly neither
that party nor the Democrats obtained
the $4,000 votes needed to get on the
ticket.
Senator La Toilette gets the great
est majority that he ever has secured
in direct vote in Wisconsin. He was
permitted by the course of the cam
paign to get all the vets, most of the
dryS, the railroad men, and the bulk
of the labor vote
Mrs. La Toilette CorraIs Women.
Mrs. La Toilette, it is said, through
an active speaking campaign, cOrralled
The women for her husband and the
net result is a cleanup that was great
er even than had been expected by
the senator's managers
The Anti-SalOOn league was openly
supporting Garfield, while the old and
original La Toilette element, which
included many active church workers,
declined to be separated from his cause
in spite of his definite wet record in
the senate
A. P. Nelson Probably Beaten.
Congressman A. 7. Nelson, in the
Eleventh district, the home of Senator
LenrOOt, apparently is the only sitting
member defeated. The Fourth, Fifth
and Tenth districts are in doubt. The
probable winners are Cooper in the
First, Weight in the Second, J. NJ.
Nelson in the Third, Lampert in the
Sixth, Beck in the Seventh, Browne
in the Eighth, and Henry GRASS in
the Ninth.
Vardaman Apparently Loses.
Jackson, Miss, Sept 7.-Hubert d.
Stephens. former member of congress,
apparently has defeated former Sena-
tor James X. VardamGn in the run
off, primary for the Democratic nom
inartiOn for United States senator to
succeed John Sharp Williams.
Complete unofficial returns from 80
counties of the 80 in the state give
Stephens 6S,051 and Vardaman 80, 237.

fit by turning out certain criminals if
it only means that their places will be
taken by other, and maybe worse,
criminals.
AS president of a real estate organ
ization, l especially appeal for the in
vestigation of real estate transac-
lions of all years, and, particularly
the deals whereby exceedingly valu-
able central business properties of
Chicago have become in fact the pri-
vate holdings of powerful newspaper
owners, used for their private benefit
and gain, from which the public
school system derives in effect but
nominal consideration.

POISON IN GRIFFITH'S BODY
Discovery Is Made, Says the

London. Sept. Arthur Griffith.
Irish Free State leader, did not die
of natural causes, but was poisoned,
according to a story printed by the
London Daily Telegraph.
Grifiths body has been eXhumed

and two nurses in connection with
Griffith's death is reported.

est, and l make this appeal to you as
Chief Justice of the Criminal Court,
and to the Grand Jury of Cook Coun-
ty, to throw open the current public
school investigation to any and all
matters pertinent thereto; and not
permit this investigation to be con-
fined to any restricted line of inquiry,
nor to the operations of one party or
fraction of a party; but to include all,
and comprehend every phase of school
administration and school fund con-
servatiOn. Otherwise, the investigation
will be of no value, because of the
tinge of political party animus; be-
sides, even should the irregularities
under investigation be proven, the
public mind will still be haunted by
the suspicion that they will not bene-
