CHICAGO’S VICE KING MURDERED Jim Colosimo Shot Down in Levee Case. CHICAGO, May 12.—Search for the murderer of James (Big Jim) Colosimo, long the chief power in Chicago’s underworld and reputed to be “King of the Blackhand” here was conducted today with two theories as to the motive for the crime leading numerous other reasons advanced for the slaying. These were that Colosimo, who was shot down late Tuesday in his case in the heart of the old levee district, was either the victim of relatives of the Sicilian wife he divorced to marry Dale Winter, a cabaret singer, three weeks ago, or that he was slain by friends of Maurice (Moss) Enright, chief of Chicago’s gunmen, who was murdered several weeks ago in a labor feud. Colosimo was said to have been a heavy contributor to a fund raised for the defense of Enright's alleged murderers, several of whom are Italians. One of their number, James Vinci, is now on trial here. Three brothers of the Mrs. Ccloslmo, one an ex-convict and another a reputed “dope user," were taken in gffistody early today and closely questioned, the police having in mind the customary manner of satisfying a desire for revenge among Sicilians. The brothers are said to have quarreled with Colosimo, following his divorcing of his first wife, who married Colosimo when he was a street sweeper, •nd helped him through a lurid and dubious career to a position of supreme power In the city’s underworld. The murder caused a sensation throughout Chicago. Colosimo's case is known throughout the country, and is practically all that is left of Bohemian life in Chicago. Mixing deeply in the affairs of the shady side of life on the one hand, Colosimo at the same time knew and entertained such celebrities as Caruso, George

M. Cohan and hundreds of others of the arts and professions. DEMOCRATS RAP STATE TAX LAW (Continued From Page One.) our city officials, who have failed to enforce the law against political rounders who livq by gambling. We denounce as a crime the condition in which our streets are kept and the way our money is being squandered in the employment of useless and inefficient employes. We denounce the dishonest deal by means of which a $15,000 reduction plant was sold to the city for $175,000. We denounce the city officials because, instead of serving the people they have played politics and have created a political ring that totally disregards the wants and wishes of our citizens. 9. We denounce as dangerous to the public welfare the unlawful combination of city and county republican politicians which dominates nominations to office, and coerce the appointment of subordinates chosen by them, and that does not hesitate at any means to gain its ends. 10. We denounce as hypocritical and insincere the claim of the present republican city and county officials, that they stand for honesty and clean government. Their record shows broken promises. Inefficiency and dishonesty and the people are condemning them as unclean and are demanding a change. Architects Urged to Push City Planning City planning by trained artists was advocated as a means of making Indianapolis beautiful, by William Forsythe, in a speech to members of the Architectural league of Indianapolis, at the Herron Art Institute last night. Robert F. Dagget, president of the league, urged members to actively support the movement to establish a city planning commission here.

CHECK UP SHOWS CROOKED COUNT (Continued From Page One.) voters out of 263 failed to register their choice regarding the treasurer. The Thirteenth precinct of the Fourth ward discloses the same discrepancy between the poll sheets and the tally sheets. In this precinct there were 296 voters recorded as having received republican ballots. Yet the total vote for president as announced at the canvassing room was only 234. Os this total 196 votes were recorded as for Wood, the usual 20 for Johnson: 12 for Lowden and 6 for Harding. In the governorship race the tally sheets show that only 204 of the 296 voters voted. Fesler got 127 of these votes, McCray 72 and Toner 5. In the treasurer's race only 187 of the 296 voters appear to have had a choice. Os these Lemcke is reported to have obtained 127 to Cochrane’s 27. In the First precinct of the Fifth ward 268 voters’ names w _ ere entered od the poll sheets, and the total republican vote was 261. Os this 261, only 217 care to vote for president, and of this number Wood is reported to have gotten 141, Johnson 36, Lowden 31 and Harding 9 votes. In the race for governor only 208 of the 261 recorded voters showed a choice. McCray got 136, Fesler 66 and Toner 6. In the treasurer's race only 167 of the 261 republicans had a choice. Lemcke is reported to have received 143 votes against Cochrane's 24. CAN’T FIND VOTERS NAMED ON SHEETS. In two of ;hese precincts investigators have been unable to find a number of voters whose names and addresses are entered on the poll sheets. Further search for these men is being made and It is certain that this investiga-

tion will disclose that some of the names entered on the poll sheets are fictitious. Evidence collected tending to show corruption in the primary indicates that there was a prearranged plan to leave the counting of the votes in such a condition that it would be possible for crooks to make the primaries show just what they wanted them to show. There seems to have been a general (Reposition to get a large number of voters recorded on the poll sheets, as in precinct after precinct, the poll sheets show more voters visited the polls and obtained republican ballots than tb re were republican ballots recorded. It is pointed out by one “old time” election worker, that it would be very easy for an election board to record as many ballots as it pleased for a favorite candidate provided the poll sheets showed the voters had voted and the tally sheets did not otherwise dispose of their votes. Friends of Senator Johnson are of the opinion that the plurality in Marlou county for Wood was obtained by failure to count the Johnson votes and they point to the wide discrepancy between the number of voters on the poll sheets and the number on the tally sheets as Indicative of failure to record from 50 to 90 votes in each precinct. Woman Gets $1 Fine and Prison Sentence Mrs. Anna Frazee, 30, 3502 East Thirtysecond street, was fined $1 and sentenced to six months in the woman's prison in the Juvenile court on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of children. Many witnesses were heard by Judge Lahr regarding the alleged improper conduct at the Frazee home.

CRIMINAL COURT COST RUNS HIGH (Continued From Page One.) did not take part in the second trial, which w.as preceded by the stuffing of the jury box in a manner that had an important part in the selection of the jury for the second Haag trial. No one was ever prosecuted for stuffing the jury box, the prosecutor declaring that he “could see no criminal inient” in the affair. The net result of the expenidture of the $1,700 of the taxpayers’ money, $1,500 of which went for assistance to Mr. Adams, did not include a conviction. EXPENSES OF JURIES BECOMES BIG ITEM. The largest single Hem in the $28,000 and more spent to maintain the criminal court is that of "expenses of juries,” which totaled $11,235.26. How much of this enormous sum was expended as a direct result of the stuffing of the jury box previous to Haag trial is difficult to determine. Mr. Adams made a weak effort to purge the Jury box and when he failed to do so he evolved the scheme of challenging ail Jurors whose names had been improperly placed in the box and dismissing the talesmen after they had been summoned to court. The expenses of this proceeding were not kept separately from other expenses. Another item of considerable interest to the taxpayers concerning which there is considerable speculation is that of $1,371.83 for the return of fugitives. No separate accounting is made of the expenses of returning to the jurisdiction of the court fugitives who were released on parole or suspended sentence and

whom it became necessary to recapture because of their subsequent transgressions. Official records show the costs of maintaining the several courts as follows: Criminal court— Salary of Judge Collins $ 4,999.92 Expenses of jury 11,238.26 Stenographer 2,030.93 1 Bailiff 1,200.00 Assistant bailiff 566,00 Special bailiff 84.00 Riding bailiffs 2,860.00 Page 272.00 Return of fugitives 1,371.83 Indigent witnesses 33.88 Special judges 165,00
