Schi|z Quitting League
In Arlington, Protests
lis Political Policies

Harold L. Schilz yesterday with
drew from the Arlington Better
Government League.
His withdrawal was Immediately
denounced by Harley Williams, pub
lilcity director of the League, as an
attempt by Mr.. Schilz to "ingrati-
ate himself with the Democratic
and Greater Arlington Association
machine
Mr.. Schilz, who is one of three
persons seeking the Democratic
nomination to the Arlington Coun-
ty Board in the August 3 primary
accused the League of seeking to
bring about cooperation of num-
ber OF groups behind a selected
non partisan. so-called. candidate
in the County Board election In the
fall"
His accusation followed that OF
County Democratic Committee
Chairman Harrison Mann who last
month charged the League was
joining Republicans to elect Lee
Potter a non-partisan candidate
Mr.. Potter Is vice chairman OF the
county Republican committee.
Opposes Hatch Act Stand.
In letter of withdrawal from
the League, Mr.. Schilz declared
"As you know, I haven't been ac-
tive in the meetings or deliberations
of the league for a long time. Fur
thermore, I felt that the stand
taken by you in May in opposing
the lifting OF Hatch Act restrictions
on Government employees in the
County, insofar as permitting
Federal employees to actively parti-
cipate in county political matters
was a mistake
The Better Government League
to date has not Endorsed a County
Board candidate. The league how
ever. has fought for nonpartisan
elections since the election OF
County Board member Daniel A
Dugan as an independent.
Although one Republican, Francis
j. Clair is seeking election to the
one board seat that will be vacated
this fall. he has not received
official support of the county Re-
publican organization.
Mr.. Shiltz last year was at logger
heads with the Arlington Demo-
cratic Committee over a purge OF
candidates for election to the COM
mittee. He was among the candl-
dates who fought an attempt OF the
committee to quiz them on now
they voted in previous elections.
Despite two appearances before
the Legislature in the interest OF
nonpartisan elections" Mr.. Williams
said. his ambitions have led him
to enter the so-called Democratic
primary for County Board, the very
thing he ardently opposed as lately
as March of this year. Mr.. Williams

gardless of the outcome of the ref
erendum, we feel that slot machines
will always be with us. Condemning
and outlawing them is not solving
the problem. 1t seems to us it would
be better to license, regulate and
tax them heavily-but not too
heavily"
The machines already are openly
operated in large numbers, partlcu-
larly in the beach resort areas.
Countering these assertions, the
Civic Association of Calvert County
issued a memorandum declaring
that we do not need to sell our
decency and character for the price
of a hospital We don't need the
charity of the gambling gentry. We
have provided the present hospital
by decent means, and We have
enough self-respect and decency to
provide additional disqualification
without surrendering the peace and
respect of our community
The association termed the word
ing of the ballot quite misleading. y
1t said:
Instead OF reading For Licensing
Certain Amusement Devices, or
Against Licensing Certain Amuse-
ment Devices. it should read for
or against Licensing Certain
Gambling Devices.

The memorandum also told voters
that you are dealing with power

Behind ballot conspiracy

was one of the investigators"
He gave Barrett a clean bill of
health, of course.
The plot against the Progress
i've Party is the most bipartisan
deal imaginable.
Murray is a Repr blican who
started out as a Democrat. Ep-
stein is a Democrat who started
out as a Republican.
Murray ran for alderman in
1927 as cog in the Democratic
machine of Dennis Egan, motor
icus West Side boss. He lost and
soon went over to Morris Eller
and the COP.
Epstein, on the other hand
started out with the Eller organ
ization as a Republican. From
then on, his political twistings
were enough to give him curva-
ture of the spine.
In 1880 he deserted the COP
to enter the Dennis Egan ma
chine; he was now { Democrat.
In 1892 he reverted to the
COP, but he still wasn't salts
field. A short time later he re
turned to the Democratic fold,
where he reached his present po-
sition.
The reason that Epstein and
Murray were so eager for joint
action to keep the Progressives
off the ballot is this: the secret
poll recently taken by the Dem
mocratS on the West Side indi-
Gated that the PrOgressives prob
ably would get some 80 to IS
per cent of the vote in the 9Th
district, where Murray and Ep-
stein share power.
Such a vote for the Progress
sives would threaten the hold of
these bosses on that district

Gratis, and John M. Coan for the
GOP-face stiff opposition from

ported to have arranged for the
Republicans to go along with the
Democrats in seeing to it that
the state electoral board turned
down the $4,000 signatures on
Progressive petitions.
Master mind of the scheme, &C
cording to reliable sources, was
Epstein, who was indicted by the
grand jury on Feb. 25, 1929, for
conspiracy to stuff ballot boxes
and permit "floaters" to vote in
the primary election that had
been held on April 10, 1928.
Epstein, Republican election
official in the 7th precinct of the
old Bloody GOTH Ward at the
time, was indicted after he re
ported sos votes for the ticket
supported by the Morris Eller
machine, and only one vote for
the opposition slate.
1t seemed a strange cOinci-
dence to the grand jurors that
Epstein himself should be. as the
Tribune described him at that
time, "a lieutenant in the pOiit
ical organization of Morris Ell
ler," West Side boss whose can
didates had won by such a sus-
picious margin.
Eller's machine at the time
that Epstein was "a lieutenant
in it was supported by some OF
the most notorious gangsters in
Chicago - hoodlums who had
made that part of the West Side
known as The Valley" a dread
ed place.
The second central figure in
the plot against the Progressive
Party-Sinon Murray-also was
an Eller lieutenant at this time
Murray, like most of the other
politicians in the Eller organiza-
ton, was so mixed up with the
gangsters that it was hard to tell
which was Which-if there was
a difference.
For example. Murray was very
intimately associated with Terry
Druggan, one of the better
known bootleggers of the Pro-
hibition era.
In fact. Murray has admitted
publicly that he was once preSi-
dent of the Mutual lee & Bever-
age Co, one of the string of
breweries operated during Pro-
hibitiOn by Druggan. At the time
he was fronting for Druggan.
Murray was on the city payroll
as an assistant city prosecutor.
In 1929 MurrJy drove the car
in which Druggan made a get
away from deputy US mar
shall and an agent of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue, who were
trying to arrest the bootlegger.
Over the years Murray didn' t
change much. In 1888 he got in
volved with the law again-on
the wrong side. A grand jury
in Waukesha County, Wisconsin,
indicted him for allegedly offer
ing the sheriff a $4,000 bribe
TO let slot machines operate. The
case later collapsed, however.
Not long after that, Murray's
name was linked to that of the
third anti Wallace pIotter-Ed-
ward j. Barrett.
Barrett had been state audi
tor Arthur c. Lueder was elect
ed to take over that office.
Lueder, perhaps suspicious by
nature, ordered an investigation
to make sure that Barrett's ac-
counts were in order. Murray

three gallons of milk, either
SKINNED or buttermilk, for the birds
daily, you must purchase some egg
mash. The pullets should have about
9k pounds of mash and 9k pounds
of grain daily. If you have the re-
quired amount of milk the birds
should then have about 10 to 20
pounds of grain. This does not need
to be cracked.
However, it is wise to watch the
crude fiber content of the ration.
Both oats and barley + good feeds.
But when you feed too great a per-
cent of the ration composed of these
grains, you unduly increase the I'M
digestable fiber which occur in the
hulls. Also do not give too much
corn. This tends to make the birds
too fat. Thus we usually suggest
that at least 40 to SO percent Of the
grain be composed of wheat.
Also if you have milk to provide
the protein part of the ration, it is
quite necessary to add some green
feed to the ration. This can be done
by putting a bale of alfalfa in the
pen and let them help themselves.
Also vitamin D must be provided.
You can simply add some cod liver
oil to the milk. One to two table
spoons to each gallon should be a
great sufficiency.
