rolls, fake expense accounts and shady
busiress deals helped along with many
cases of whiSky-those are the methods
bv which the Chicago sanitary district
is alleged to have wasted S5,O00,000 in
public funds.
Thousands of words OF testimony
concerning the misspent dollars have
been piled up at the trial of Timothy
]. Grove, former president of the dis
trict and seven of his witnesses.
Hundreds of witnesses, including 40
who were then members Of the State
legislature have told of being on the
pay roll and doing little or no work.
Some made a trip or two to investigate
claims against the district, others
glanced at the lake level daily and
never made reports, some wrote essays
and copied names out of the telephone
books and many merely made month
ly visit to the Offices to get their checks.
Testimony Piles Up.
Grove was president of the Board
of Trustees during 1927 and 1928, the
period dubbed the 'whoopee era" be-
cause of the many parties given by
spersons connected with the district. BY
virtue of this position he heads the list
of defendants in the present nearing.
The others were all high officials OF
the body, which has charge of the dis
poSal of Chicago's sewage.
Although the hearing before three
Criminal Court judges has already
lasted three weeks, the prosecution con-
tinues to pile up its testimony. The
newest is intended to show that dummy
companies were formed to handle con-
tracts with the district and keep the
money in friendly hands.
One of the principal contractor wit
nesses was on the stand yesterday. He
was George B. Dietrich, partner in six
companies, some of which were organ

agent of the district feared "competi-
tors were getting jealous"

He did s341 900 worth Of business with
the district, the witness said; made
profits of from so to 100 per cent, set
his own prices and never heard COM
plants about them. Dietrich said he
