suits. Results were announced only after they had passed to Thompson's offices through the hands of the police.
 Far into the morning hours Thompsonites made merry in the ex- ecutive offices on the fifth floor of the City Hall.
 A jazz band whooped up Big Bills campaign song, Happy Days Are Here Again." Caterers carried in trayload after trayload of food. Streamers f1uttered in the cigar smoke. Big Bill talked so much he was hoarse.
 Over the mayors desk hung a sign which said in letters foot high:
 "Chicago's next mayor should hold only one job."
 .William Hale Thompson"
 It referred to Cermak, who is president of the county board.
 Another indication that Thompson was moving immediately into the election battle was fresh campaign song, aimed at Cermak. It was set to the tune of "The Sidewalks of New York;" the rallying song of Al Smith in 1928. It ran: Irony, Tony, where's your push cart
 at?
 Gan you picture the worlds fair
 mayor,
 with a. name like that? What a job you are holding, :. Now you're trying for two, Better start thinking of one for me Instead of two for you"
 By slurring some of the words to- gether. the Therapeutics made if fit the tune, even if the meter was off.
 Thompson was a jovial host.
 How the hell you gonna lick Big Bill?" he asked. Not with the nutty judge and the boy alderman. Your mayor will go on building Chi cago's skyline. It'll be too bad for the nit wits that get in the way"
 As early at p. m., when the polls closed. Thompson conceded himself victory.
 yames Walker, mayor of the na- tion's first city, called to congratu- lato the mayor of the second city on his victory.
 Governor Huey Long, the colorfu; chief executive of Louisiana, tela- phoned his congratulations.
 One of Thompson's secretaries said the other calls were from scores of senators, congressman and folks like that"
 Judge Lyle said he would issue no statement until he had conferred with his principal advisers.
 Albert went home early with the remark that "I'll issue a statement when all the returns are in."
 The voting yesterday was quiet. -..sI ' one Kidnapping were reported. Few arrests were made.
 More than 10000 watchers, police. election officials and private guards kept strict order in the populous wards where in the past city prim- aries have been marked by kidnap- ings, sluggings and murders.

Local Legislators There.

Hartford, Feb 25-Senators Jo- seph H. Lawlor and Lewis s. Reed and Representatives Daniel J. Ma nancy aud John D. Thoms of Wa terbury were present yesterday af- ternoon at the meeting of the New Haven county legislators. The ses- sion was called for the purpose of adopting {, budget for the next two years. However. no business was transacted because Representative William Bradley 'of Beacon Falls expressed the opinion that the $780, 900 appropriation set up for the ad- dition to the Waterbury county court building is excessive. He figures that the addition could be built for between $150,O00 and $175.- OOO The budget as presented yes terday calls for total expenses Of $995,935 TOT the next two years. The estimated income is $502,2O0l leay- ing $493,735 to be raised by taxation on the towns and cities of New Haven county.
 For the past two years Waterbury has paid county taxes amounting to about $150,000. Considerable changes in the b.dget as proposed yester- day is expected before it is adopted

He said the aggregate revenues from the liquor traffic have been estimated at from $2,500.000,000 to $4,000.000,0 . year. This money is also used for the organization of other lines of crime, such as the white slave traffic, the opium traffic and racketeering of various sorts" he added.
 "For the first time in the history of the world, organized crime seems to be adequately financed" he said.
 "The evidence is clear" he said, "that the opposition to this law by a large proportion of the best citizens of the community, many of whom are total abstainers, arises out of

NAB Chef IN THEFT
Sunnyside Cook Held After
Raid on Kitchen.

A romance that bloomed among
the cabbages and turnips in the
kitchens of the SunnySide tubercu-
losis sanitorium, crashed today with
the arrest of the chef and his sweet
heart.
Lying in wait near the kitchens
Monday night, George Snider,
county commissioner, and his son
Roland, saw Mrs. Kathryn Cravens,
"a, of 2114 Ashland avenue. drive
her car to the rear Of the institu-
ton.
They said that a few minutes
later, Harry Gleaser, So. carrying a
large sack, walked to the car. At
that point the Sniders came forward
to arrest the couple on petit lar
ceny charges.
Mrs. Cravens, divorce, was re-
leased to go to her 7-year old boy
for the night. Officials of the in
stitution said food has been missing
from the kitchens for several
months.
Gleaser, it is said, admitted giving
the food to the woman with whom
he has been holding clandestine
meetings in the kitchen and on the
grounds, but said the food has been
worthless. Roland Snider said a
chicken was included in the Mon
day night offering.

Praise Radio System as
Squad NabS Suspect
Post Haste

-Four city officials today were re-
lating proudly their experiences in
helping to make an arrest Mon
day night.
At the same time they were loud
in praise for efficiency of the police
radio system.
The four were City Corporation
Counsel Edward H. Knight, City At
torney James E. Deery, Councilman
Leo F. WEIGH and Francis Coleman,
deputy controller.
Monday night they were taken by
Police Chief Mike Morrissey in a
police squad car for cruise to give
them a taste of the work performed
by police cruising squads. For a
time things were quiet. Then:
Squad car go to a filling
station at Tibbs avenue and Wash
ington. There's stolen truck
there"
Before the radio announcer had
completed giving the address, Chief
Morrissey stepped on the gas and
a few seconds later slid to stop
in the filling station.
There, with the cooperation OF
his guests, he arrested Glen How
ard, 81, of 1926 East Tenth street.
Howard was held on charges Of ap-
propriating a truck owned by the
Jack Carr Tire and Service Com
pany, Ill East Walnut street.
The arrest was made so rapidly
that the radio had not finished re-
peating the instruction when How
ard was taken into custody.
