FRAUDS CHARGED
April Grand Jury Reports
Many Irregularities in Cook
County Precincts.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 3-The cry of voting
frauds today echoed back from the April
primary election.
Described by Fred v. Mcguire, chair
man of the election board, as "the clean
est ever conducted in Chicago" it was
this primary that gave victory to Con-
gresswoman Ruth Hanna Mccormick
in her battle with Senator Charles S.
Deneen for the Republican senatorial
nomination. James Hamilton Lewis,
former Senator, won the Democratic
nomination without the semblance OF a
campaign.
Many irregularities were found upon
opening the ballot boxes of 10 scattered
Cook County precincts, the April grand
Jury reported to Chief Justice Denis j.
Mormoyle of the Circuit Court.
While the grand jury disclosed no
names, it reported that in one precinct
"a principal candidate for the United
States Senate was deprived of 80 votes
and an opponent given 81 more votes
than voted"
In another, a sister of candidate
for the Legislature was allowed to sit
on ballots and hold them in her lap
because of fear of theft" the grand
Jury said. Many erasures were found
in this box, in favor of the woman's
brother.
There were evidences that ballot boxes
had been opened after supposedly sealed
and that votes were attributed to per-
sons who cannot be located, the report
indicated.
Most of the precincts included in the
which will be carried on
by the May grand jury, were in the
forty-second, forty-ninth and twentieth
wards. The last named has long been
known as the bloody twentieth" the

He suggested that the growing 1mpor-

added he was dissatisfied with the

Speaking of the Parker bill, Secre-

CONTEST
DEPENDS ON 8 MEN
Doubtful Senators Expected
to Decide Supreme Court
Judge Fight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A week end recess brought a surface
lull today in the Senate's dispute over
the nomination of Judge John j. Parker
as an associate justice of the Supreme
Court, but efforts TO swing doubtful
votes into the respective balloting col
umns of the two opposed factions went
forward undated.
A roll call which will decide the issue
of confirmation or rejection will be
taken early in the week, possibly on
Monday. Today the outcome of the
vote was uncertain. Eight members of
the Senate were conceded to be unde-
cided and upon these the persuasive
talents of the sponsors and opponents
of the North Carolina jurist were con-
centrated.
Week Of Debate Ends.
A week of debate, ending last night,
brought into prominence the assertions
of labor and colored organizations that
Judge Parker is prejudiced against the
working man and the colored race, and
the fundamental issue of the case,
which is a contention that confirming
the nomination would serve to increase
the already large majority of conserva-
tive opinion on the Supreme bench.
The American Federation OF Labor
protested the nomination on the ground
that in upholding a labor injunction
Judge Parker had also upheld the "yel-
low dog" contract, under which en-
ployes bind themselves not to become
afhliated with the unions. Parker's de-
cision was rendered as q member of
the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in
the famous Red Jacket mine case.
The colored organization commended
that in delivering a campaign speech as
Republican nominee for Governor of
North Carolina in 1920, Judge Parker
made remarks showing a prejudice
against the Negro race. Parker has
commended that his assertions were mis-
construed.
Norris in Vigorous Fight.
Senator Norris, independent Repub-
lican, Nebraska, joined the attack on
Parker late yesterday with q three
hour speech expressing vigorous opposi-
ton to confirmation. He said that in
the red jacket decision, Judge Parker
had shown "the bent of his mind"
that the Federal judiciary was Great
ing laws as well as interpreting them,
that many labor injunctionS were "un-
fair and inhuman" and that 1--WE must
pass on these judges before We give
them an opportunity to pass on U.S."

tons setting up new crimes-not crimes
