5,000 CHICAGO POLICE WILL GUARD POLLS IN PRIMARY

U. S. REFUSAL TO INTERVENE PROMPTS PLAN Several Thousand Officers of County Augment City Details. STATE TO TRY CAFfEY Wins Fight With Federal Authorities Over Dry Agent. BY C. C. NICOLET United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 6.—Five thousand police, five-sixth’s of the city’s entire force, will guard Chicago’s polls in the Illinois primary election next Tuesday, Commissioner of Police Michael Hughes announced today. Police details, assigned to the city’s 2,755 precincts from opening of the polls until closing, will be augmented by several thousand representatives of County Judge Edmund Jarecki. Commissioner Hughes said the normal detail of thirty-five detective squads would be reinforced by sixty-five special squads under Deputy Commissioner William E. O’Connor. Biggest Guard in History. Several hundred special police also will be assigned to the election commissioners’ office in charge of Judge Jarecki. The announcement, outlining the most extensive primary poll guard in the history of Chicago, was accompanied by no comment from Commisioner Hughes except that “if there is to be any trouble, it probably will be in the battle over ward committeemen elections.” There was no mention of an extra guard in the Twenty-Fifth ward, the old “Bloody Nineteenth,” where “Diamond Joe” Esposito, powerful Italian leader and Republican candidate for ward committeeman, was slain. Esposito’s death, while also attributed to the alky war, generally was believed to have resulted from his political activity. The extensive police plan, it was said, was made necessary by refusal of United States Attorney General John G. Sargent to authorize assignment of special deputy-marshals to Chicago's primary which had been requested by United States Marshal Palmer Anderson at Chicago. • The Federal grand jury, which earlier in the week was instructed especially regarding statutes covering interference with the exercise of citizenship at election polls and attacks upon the person or property of a Federal officer, adjourned Thursday until after the election. State Will Try CafTey Judge James Wilkerson, whose instructions to the grand jury, gave rise to the belief the jury would investigate the bombing of Senator Deneen’s home and alleged political intimidation, Thursday ruled in favor of State and city authorities who sought the right to try Myron CafTey. Federal prohibition agent, charged with shooting a municipal court bailiff. CafTey was a member of a squad of special prohibition agents sent here from Washington. During a raid on a saloon last week, William Beatty, bailiff, was wounded. Federal authorities protected CafTey and prevented service of a warrant charging assault with intent to kill which was issued by city authorities. Government attorneys procured a writ of habeas corpus cum causa before the warrant was served. City and State attorneys Thursday succeeded in having the writ set aside, which leaves the State free to prosecute the dry agent. NOISES: NO BURGLARS Police Answer to Calls, But Fail to Find “Marauders.” Mrs. H. C. Smith, 1434 E. Eleventh St., looked up from her ironing board Thursday night when she heard a noise and saw a man at the dining room window. She screamed and he ran. Police found no trace of him. Oliver Jackson, night watchman at the Pittsford Purity Pie Company, 1420 N. Senate Ave., told police he heard someone trying to get into a side door at the plant, Thursday midnight. Every time he went to the door and investigated he could see no one, but as soon as he put out the lights and remained quiet the person returned and made further efforts to open the door he said. Police called but found no trail of the alleged burglar.

Rubinow of Philadelphia is the speaker. Dr. Rubinow gained fame as the author of an article on this subject, which appeared in the Atlantic Monthly.

$6,500 IN FEES GIVEN ATTORNEY BY COMMISSION Ruling Also Orders Issuance of $68,000 Stock by Corydon Firm. Public service commissioners today in authorizing issuance of stock for the Southern Indiana Utilities Corporation, Corydon, Ind., gas company, allowed Clyde H. Jones, former commissioner and attorney for Governor Jackson in his recent Criminal Court trial, $6,500 in attorney's fees. A few weeks ago commissioners declared themselves against excessive attorneys fees when considering a northern Indiana telephone company case in which the fees ran into thousands of dollars that ultimately would be charged to the customers. The commission refused to allow Ralph E. Davis, engineer, $2,500 and a group of out State attorneys sl,000 for their services. “The commission also believes that certain legal expenses to Clyde H. Jones of $6,500 were necessary in bringing this property into being,” the order read. “It does not feel, however, that the fee of Ralph Davis, engineer, of $2,500 is justified, in view of the fact that the commission’s engineers made a very much more comprehensive appraisal, the entire cost of which was $619.04.” Commissioner Harvey Harmon, when asked about the allowance to Jones, said when the rule was adonted bv the commission against excessive legal fees that It was not t:j apply except to cases filed thereafter. He pointed out that the case was filed Aug. 29, 1927. He also said that Jones had done work on other affairs of the company when it was in receivership. He said these were not paid because of financial incapability of the company. The commission already has authorized issuance of $165,000 worth of securities and today dii reeted issuance of $68.00 more for ■ the company. Five thousand shares j are to be sold at $3 a share and $53,000 worth are to be 6 per cent preferred shares selling at not less I than S9O. Logan J.

ASKS CONGRESS TO MAKE SOUTH PAY ROOD AID Large Land Owners Will Bo Benefited, Contends Frear, Wisconsin. BY THOMAS L. STOKES L’nitnl Fresh Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 6.—More than 75 per cent of the nearly 4,000,000 acres of land in the Mississippi valley which the United States Government must require for floodways to control the Mississippi flood waters is in the hands of large land owners and corporations, Representative Frear, (Rep.), Wisconsin, pointed out today in an interview with the United Press. Furthermore, many of the same land owners and corporations own lands which will adjoin the floodways and other control works and rise greatly in value through the protection afforded, he said. The Government, he explained, must buy land for floodways directly or through condemnation proceedings in which jurors from the local region will determine the price. Frear fixes the total cost to the Government at $150,000,000, a large part of which will go to corporations and large land owners. The Wisconsin member will use figures showing the extent of holdings by large corporations in his fight in the House for local contributions, in refutation of claims that the Southern Mississippi valley is not able to contribute something toward flood control. The figures were prepared by the War Department. They show, he argues, that much of the land to be benefited is held by those fully able to contribute.
