Two Unlisted Callers Force Way Upon Dr. Brady,
 Shot Him Down
REVELATIONS ARE MADE BY POLICE
Dead Man Had Queer Car Suddenly Became
 Prosperous

CHICAGO, Ill, April 25.-Dr. Frank L. Brady, West Side den tist, had two callers this forenoon, unlisted on his appointment book.
 One of them shot him dead after telling a patient in chair to keeu quiet.
 The two men pushed open door into the private office of Brady and pointed gun at the dentist saying:
 We've got you know"
 The dentist cried: Don't" and tried to grab the muzzle of the gun.
 The gunman fired and Dr. Brady fell. The gunman fired again and said:
 There you----you'n never try a stunt like that again"
 The gunman pocketed his gun and ran from the building with his companion.
 Sinister Circumstances
 With the killing, there are sev- eral sinister circumstances in the life of Brady which have been re- vealed.
 The sdentist struggled for several years to live and then suddenly be- came prosperous. Four years ago 1t was rev that he was the son of Mrs. Anna ~aap who killed herself at the murs~- lal of Herman Ferneke.
 Brady. it is said, has long been under police surveillance as a re- suit of investigations into Fer neke's wealth which has never been accounted for.
 Office Once Raided
 Ferneke is serving life sentence in prison. He was regarded as one of the deadliest gangsters of Chicago. During his trial, Brady's office was raided but he was never connected with Ferneke's opera tions although search revealed acids and materials used by criminals to alter engraving securities and there was also evidence of narcotic traf- fife.

FIGHT OYER SUBWAY
 CONTROL IS EXPECTED

Interboroughs petition for seven cent fare the financial district re- ceived reports that committee was being formed for the purpose of corralling stockholders proxies in sufficient number to over throw the present executive voting trust, composed of Frank Hedley and Frank L. Polk.
 Tn some quarters the idea of a stockholders revolt" in the Inter borough is considered impossible because of an arrangement whereby the Hedley- Polk group is believed to hold a mandate for voting nine tenths of the stock until 1892.
 Modern proxy fights are cour- teous, kid glove affairs compared with those of the Gould Hartman days. Wall street does not look for another spectacular open mar ket struggle in this era of financial enlightment.

ROTARY BALLOT CLAUSE JUNKED
 BY THE SENATE
Majority Strikes Out Rota- tive Ballot Provision
 from House Bill

The Senate yesterday afternoon tinkered with Winn's bill revising and codifying Territorial election laws and after some important changes in it turned it over to a special committee of three for further revision The most ma- terial change was in the striking of the Houses provisions for TO- tative ballot system.
 Senator Steel moved it be stricken, saying that it was aimed to stop alleged mass voting of h. dians in Southeastern Alaska, but that it would have no effect on that vote; that the Indians who voted did so intelligently; but that the system of rotating names of candidates on the official ballot might cause the loss of othe-. votes through confusion
 Cost Too Much
 Three members felt the urge to explain their opposition. Senator Sundquist said he was going to vote to strike out the House pro- vision because it was too expensive. And Senator Benjamin felt that the rotative ballot might even con- fuse the judges and clerks of elec- ton and result in mixups in count ing the votes.
 Led by Senator Sundquist, the Senate Majority next turned its guns on the sections of the Vim bill which deals with the time of filing of candidacy for office by independents. Here was a serious flaw discovered It was found that while the party men, seeking nominations for the various and sundry offices to be filed, were com- pelled to file early in February, persons not having party affilia- tions and not, therefore, entering party primaries, had until the day of the primary election to file their candidates.
 This, Senator Sundquist averred, would never do. It gave the in- dependents a decided advantage Senators Steel and Frame were in accord vocally and, with Senators Anderson and Benjamin, said SC with votes. That was enough to make the necessary change. And the bill was thereupon amended SC as to require that independents seeking to come before the people in the general November elections must file at the same time that party men do in seeking nomina- tions in the April primaries.
 FIattens Opposition
 Senator Dunn vehemently op, posed the amendment. He anc Senator Hess vainly pointed oll there was difference between tht filing of candidates for nomina' tions and becoming candidate fol the office; that the primaries art strictly party affairs with whicf nonparty men are not concerned The majority machine rolled righ along flattening out opposition without pause in it's progress
 Article II. of the bill was fount to be too defective for amend ment so the measure was referred to committee composed of Sena tors Sundquist. Frame and Hess t rewrite that section. The commit ltee was also directed, if possible, t incorporate in the House measure a Senate bill by Senator Hess re enacting the Congressional Act Q
