ALCOHOL Twins
RAISE Big ROW
AT COUNTY JAIL
Lawyers Make Dough
While Polls Whine

The prison activities of Messrs
Druggan and Lake, two millionaire
bootIeggers and high up among the
elect 400 in the political register Of
the republican and democratic parties
in Chicago, are still causing local po-
Iitical leaders considerable worry.
1t develops that the power behind
the throne, or more correctly behind
the Cook County Jail, was Morris
Eller. west side republican party boss.
| 1t was Eller who instructed Sheriff
Hoffman, to allow as many visitors in
to see the millionaire twins, as their
business interests warranted. Mess
ers Druggan and Lake were to be the
judges.
They Deny Everything.
OF course Mr. Eller Indignantly re-
pudites the charges connecting him
with the illegal liberties of the beer
sultans. Sheriff Hoffman Indignantly
repudiates the accusations Of Ex-
Warden Westbrook, who says in eff
feet that Hoffman, suggested that the
alcohol experts be permitted the
freedom of the city inasmuch as they
were wealthy, good spenders and
good political friends of the sheriff.
In return for these compliments,
Hoffman pitchforks all the political
and official dung in and around the
county Jail, on the shoulders of the
ex-warden. 1t is rather indelicately
limited that Westbrook reduced the
weight of Mister Druggan, by reliev-
ing him of $4,000 Westbrook now
has his turn at indignant denials. He
is honest, he admits, painfully So In
fact, it appears that the ex-warden
often expressed doubt to his wife
the infallibility Of the old saying that
honesty is the best policy"
Grove for Hoffman.
Sheriff Hoffman is a republican
party Office holder It appears that
the county jail is G. o. P. strong
hold. States Attorney Grove is not
near as much excited about the re-
ported grating in connection with
the county Jail, as he as about alleged
deyiations Of trade unionists. Grove
waved aside all suspicious about the
integrity of Hoffman and offered his
services to the sheriff in any political
ambitions he may cherish.
The politicians are worried over
the Jail exposures. Nobody expects
anything to come out Of it however.
The lawyers will shake down Messers
Druggan and Lake and the politicians
who are getting a decent divvy out
of the booze racket may be forced to
drop some simoleons.

Spots in Ohio Where Automo.

Designated

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. %
Dotting the sides of Ohio's high
ways throughout the length Of the
state at frequent and infrcquent
intervals stand white crosses. Thev
mark spots where Automobiles have
been killed.
Automobile drivers rounding a
sharp curve, in many sections, come
square'y upon a white cross, or
possibly two or three, mute remind
crs that one or more persons have
been killed at that spot.
Governor viz Donahcy was TO
sponsible for the placing Of the
crosses. 1t was his ideal that they
would help to cut down automo-
bile fatalities by making drivers
more cautious They have not been
installed long enough, however, to
draw any conclusions.
Many automobile drivers declare
they experience sinking sensation
when they suddenly come upon the
white crosses. The governor has
been condemned for the move on
the ground it gives rise to morbid
thoughts: others have praised it as
being a good "sedatiyc" for reck-
less drivers.
