New Grand Jury Told
to Seek Evidence of
Graft; McSwi g gin
Case Still Mystery


CHICAGO, Ill.,, June 5.--A federal
inquiry into Chicago's crime wave
refused several months ago by con-
gress, was in progress today from
another source. while onto the scene
abandoned BY the special grand jury
investigating gang warfare marched
another grand jury, vested with
power to run down reports Of corrup-
tion at the polls. A squad Of agents
Of the department of justice is delv-
eng into accounts of graft in pro-
hibition enforcement in Chicago, ii
became known, and il was said to be
,ready to sift stories Of connection be-
tween politicians and the illegal
liquor industry.
The agents we're assigned ten days
Eago TO inquire into violation Of
United States law by gangsters and
their associates here, and if evil
,dence Is uncovered n federal grand
jury will be impanelled TO hear it.
Probe Graft Charge
The Cook county grand jury called
when William II. McSwiggin, assist
ant county prosecutor, was slain in
gang outbreak in Chicago suburb.
ended its work yesterday with re-
port that Chicago cannot expect an
end to its gunmen civil war so long
as there Is profit enough in boot
Logging to attract desperate men.
While the jury was working on the
final draft Of its findings, ANOTHER
special panel was ordered to Aook
into charges that the April prinif lies
in Cook county (Chicago) were mark
ed by graft, intimidation and illegal
voting.
The new inquiry il an upshot Of
charges filed by Judge Daniel p.
Trude, unsuccessful candidate for
the republican county judgeship
nomination, who asked n recount Of
the vote and accompanied his plea
with broad allegations Of malfeas-
ance by his opponents.
Want Officers Fired
Trude's opponent, Joseph p. Saw
age, was an assistant to the states
attorney.
The grand jury which reported yes
terday declared McSwiggin was ian
innocent bystander" when he was
slain in Cicero by machine gun fire
which also cost the lives Of two COM
panions. one known TO police as
beer runner.
The sealed lips Of gangsters. said
the jury. prevented the solution Of
McSwiggin's murder and kept it from
getting at the root Of the gang evil.
Asserting that evidence established
the existence OF pardon mill led by
Major NJ. A. Messelein, the jurors
found crime conditions greatly ag-
gravated by the prevalent impression
that bribes could win freedom for
convicts.
The discharge Of Will Colvin as
chairman Of the state parole board
and of Chauncey III. Jenkins rs d.
rector Of the state department Of
public relfare, also was urged upon

ONE LEMON SWEETENS: ANOTHER SOURS

i When the New York, New IiH- Ven and Hartford railroad bought the New York. Wes'chester X Boston - fearing that the line would be actually extended to Boston and thus offer competition within the preserves the New Ha- ven regarded as its own exclusive property - if was speedily discoy- cred that first class lemon had been purchased. To some Of those with good eyosight the lemon looked more like a white elephant.
 The New Haven paid a mint Of money for the line, more than if could ever get back, and all it got for the stockholders money WAS comparatively short line in Wcsr- . chester county, What it saved ff- self in potential competition. of course, is another matter. Many a firm would prefer to buy out competitor at a high figure rather than face the continued compoti- ton.
 A surhurhan line out or N.w York City the W-s'cheslor roaI is doing better than originally ox- pec'od. Only this spring an cnrcu- sion was opened from Larchmont 10 Mmnaroneck and now comes the information that the line will be extended from Mamaron,ck 10 Harrison.

STREET SIGNS

In some of our cities signs over hanging the sidewalks have become IS unsightly as the old-time tele- graph poles and wires along the main thoroughfares in others-as vet in the minority - such signs are entirely abolished. and for the same reason that networks Of un- slightly wires were abolished years ago.
 There can be little doubt that un- restricted signs overhanging the sidewalks can become unstghtly despite the usual garish nature of the incandescents. The point is ii can be overdone. Some cities glory in hodge-podGe of commercial signs: others take such things more couserratively.

CTTY'S CHANGE TO
SAVE St5,0OO

When paying cash saves money, and the city has the cash to pay
 promptly and the charter of the
 city permits the comptroller to pay
 bills 10 obtain cash discounts be.
 fore they go before the finance committee, it is folly 10 waive tho opportunity 10 save 3l5,ooo a year in this manner.
 Cash discounts of two per cent, if is declared. could be obtained upon 75 per cent Of the city's bills by paying them within ten days. Before the present city charter was in force it was obligatory that all such bills must be brought before the finance committee, causing sufficient delay in most cases to lose the opportunity for discounts The charter now, however, permits the comptroller 10 go ahead and pay bills before they reach the f. nance committee. This Is placing additional responsibility upon the shoulders Of the comptroller, but as the bills would reach the finance committee anyway. whether they are already paid or whether they are still to be paid, if would ap- pear to be nothing amIss 10 let the comptroller proceed under inc more responsible system and save the city s15.Oo0 annually.
 The comptroller in this matter is like an office manager. secretary or treasurer employed by a firm. The latter does not usually place all small bills before the board Of di- rectors before paying them, es- pecialy when there is opportunity for discounts within ton days.
 To save $I5,ooO year IS dis tinctly worth while.
