positors had disappeared and the doors
were closed.

ried on to trace the sources of alarm
ing financial reports which have been
current. President Machada informed

BITTER ILLINOIS RACE
CLIMAX DUE TUESDAY
Police Prepared for Emergency
Work-State Control Involved
in Turn of Ballots.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.
staff Correspondent of The star

CHICAGO, H., April 10.-One OF
the bitterest mud-slnging primary
campaigns in Illinois and particularly
Cook County has reached its final
stage. The election Tuesday will de-
eide:
l. Whether the Republican voters
of Illinois stand with President Cool
idge and Senators William b. Nc
kinley and Charles S. Deneen in their
advocacy Of American adherence to
the World Court with safeguarding
with the Senate irreconcilables and
Col. Frank l.. Smith. candidate for
the Republican senatorial nomination
against Mckinley, in their opposition
to the World Court.
2. Whether the Deneen faction, al
lied at present with the Lunden fac
tion, shall control in Cook County Re
publican affairs or whether the control
shall be in the hands of the Grove
Barrett faction, allied with the Thomp
son and Bundage groups, so far as
Republican politics are concerned.
Brennan's Fate Involved.
3. Whether George +. Brennan,
Democratic National committeeman
and candidate for the Senate shall
continue to control Democratic poll
tics in Cook County, or whether the
new democracy OF Illinois" with
former Gov. Edward +. Dunno
former County Treasurer William l..
O'Connell, former Mayor Carter II.
Harrison, and former Senator James
Hamilton Lewis, as leaders shall gain
that control in part.
A victory for Col. Smith in the
senatorial race will be hailed in iii
nois and throughout the country as
a bitter blow for the World Court. II
will give a great impetus to campaigns
against the court and the men who
supported American adherence to 1t
in other States. 1t may result in de-
feating for denomination both Repub.
hcans and Democrats who voted in
the Senate for the court. 1t will give
heart to the ku klux Klan, which
strongly opposed the court.
If Senator Mckinley, on the other
hand, is nominated, the anti-court
faction is out of 1t. Here in the Mid
die West, the anti-League of Nations
and anti-World Court sentiments has
been stronger than in any other part
of the country. II the anticourt
group loses in Illinois, much of the
pep" and vinegar will fade out of the
anti-court campaign.
Senator Deneen is the outstanding
figure in Republican politics in this
State at present. A victory for the
pro-court group will aid him, and If
he is successful in nominating a fair
share of the Cook County officials
Tuesday. his prestige will have been
given another big boost
Eleventh-hour predictions by all the
candidates and factions are for their
own success. The manager of Col.

SENATE APPROVES
NEW DEEDS OFFICE
Passes Bill Already 0. KID
by House With But
Single Change.

Legislation authorizing new fire.
proof building for the Office Of re-
corder Of deeds, which has custody
Of valuable land records, was virtually
completed at the Capitol yesterday
when the Senate passed bill pre-.
viously approved by the House.
The Senate made one minor change
in phraseology which will have to be
concurred in by the House, but it is
not expected to delay final approval.
The bill does not fix the cost of the
building, which will have to be esti-
mated for and included in an appro-
priation bill later.
The bill also abolishes the fee sys.
tenn of paying the expenses in the
offices of the recorder of deeds and
register Of wills by requiring them
to deposit all of their receipts with
the District Collector of taxes and
have the appropriations for the main
tenance of both offices estimated for
by the Commissioners, the same as
all other local activities. This fea-
ture of the bill would not take effect
until July /, 1927. -..
Urged for Years.
At present the fees levied by the
recorder of deeds and the register of
wills in connection with the filing of
legal documents are used directly to
pay the salaries and routine expenses
of the two departments, any unex.
pended balance being turned into the
Treasury.
Under the proposed law both Off
Gals would deposit the. fees with the
collector of taxes weekly and they
would go into the Treasury to the
credit of the District government.
The necessary expenses for the two
offices would then be carried in the
annual appropriation act.
The definite authorization of new
building for the deeds Office has been
advocated by the Commissioners and
local organizations for a number OF
years because of the danger of ex.
posing these land records to possible
fire hazard.
Additional Space Needed.
There also is need for additional
space for the filing of deeds. The
report made to the Senate by Chair
man Capper of the District committee
set forth that some of the work of

 IN DODGING COPS
Is Being Sought With Woman
 on Her Husbands Writ

Johnstown, Pa, Sept. 23 R1- Frank Lloyd Wright, Chicago archi- tect, and Mme. Olga Milinoff, named in habeas corpus proceedings here late yesterday. have eluded the au- thorities and escaped, taking with them the woman's child by a former marriage. Attorney Harold Jackson of Chicago, said this afternoon.
 Jackson, attorney for the archi- tect's wife, came here to investigate reports that Wright and Mme. Mi linof planned to leave this country with the child, Svetlana Hinzenberg, aged nine years. Valdemar Hinzen- berg, father of the child, got the writ which called for the immediate production of the girl in court. The writ gave the authorities the right to search any premises.
 Early today Jackson and county officers went to the home of Richard and Frances Suppes, in Westmont, a Johnstown suburb, where, they be- lieved, they would find Wright, Mime. Milinoff and the child. Mrs. Suppes is Wright's sister.

WILK MUST 60 TO JAIL,
 SUPERIOR COURT RULES
Judge Banks Upholds Sentence Passed on Drunken Driver in
 New Britain
Special to the Herald.)

Hartford, Sept. 23.-Judge John W. Banks, sitting in superior court, refused to soften an edict of New Britain police court today when he upheld the New Britain court in sending Adam Wilk of that city to jail for 30 days for driving an au- tomobile while he was under the in fiuence of liquor. Wilk will start serving his term at once.
 Motorcycle Policeman William Strolls of the New Britain police department testified to arresting Wilk on Stanley street, that city, on September 12. Wilk's car was drawn up to the curb, his head rest ing on the wheel, and he was drunk, Strolls told the court. He called for the police service wagon and it re- sponded with Policeman Thomas Feeney in charge. Strolls and Fee ney testified that Wilk made an at tempt to make a getaway when they placed him under arrest.
 Cross examined by Attorney B. J.. MonlliekicZ, counseu for the defense, StrollS said that the motor of the automobile was not running and he did not see Wilk driving the car but Wilk admitted that he had been driving. Attorney Monkiewicz moved for the discharge of his client on the ground that it has not been proved that Wilk had actually operated the car. Judge Banks denied the mo- tion.

'TUNNEY THOUGHT
 AIRPLANE SAFER
Also More Pleasant Than Train,
 He Says

Navy Yard. Philadelphia, Sept. 23 PNCompleting a spectacular jump to the scene of his battle with Jack Dempsey tonight, Gene Tunney ar rived here by airplane this after noon.
 The heavyweight title challenger, in Curtis Orioles plane piloted by C. S. Casey" Jones of New York, civilian aviator, landed safely after a hop of approximately 100 miles from Shawnee-on-the-Delaware not so far from his training camp at Stroudsburg.
 The plane bearing Tunney landed at l:15 p. m., eastern daylight time, making the trip in one hour and PC minutes. The party had taken off from a golf course at 11:45 a. m., according to revised figures on the time of departure.
 The landing was made after the ship" had circled the vicinity of the navy yard and also flown over the sesquicentennial stadium, fight battle ground.
 Smiling and cheerful, Tunney crawled from his seat to be greeted by about 200 onlookers, including most of the employees of the navy aircraft factory.
 Tunney was welcomed personally by Commander Strong of the navy yard.
 When informed that Promoter Tex Rickard had been concerned over the dangers of the flight, Tunney said: "Rickard is only risking his money while 1 risked my life. I landed safely so everybody ought to be sat- isfled."
 The challenger said he took the air route in preference to making the trip by automobile to avoid the dangers of crowded and slippery roads through the mountain section. Of the two means of travel, he said he thought the airplane was safer and more pleasant.
 What are you going to do to the champion tonight?" q bystander shouted at Tunney.
 Wait and see,' he replied with a smile.
 After being photographed Tunney left the field by automobile for the offices of the Pennsylvania boxing commission to weigh in.
