DENEEN GROUP ENDS SWAY OF SKI, lAYOR Old Gives Way to New as Swanson and Emerson Win. GLENN LEADS SMITH Lowden Is Unopposed: Scout Rumor Thompson Will Resign. Bn l nited Press CHICAGO, April 11.—Revised tabulations on the Illinois Republican primary showed an everincreasing lead today for candidates on the Deneen slate. Semi-official returns from 4,430 precincts of 6,634 showed for Governor Emmerson 685,352; Small, 392,355. Semi-official returns from 4,073 precincts showed Glenn 515,060; Smith, 364,907. For State’s attorney of Cook County, 2,065 precincts out of 3,056 gave Swanson 302.888; Crowe 175,923. ■ BY C. C. NICOLET United Press Steff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 11.—The Low-den-Deneen faction of the Republican party in Illinois emerged dominant in State politics today by virtue of a crushing defeat administered to an Administration coalition in Tuesday’s primary. Low and e n-D ene e n candidates swamped Governor Len Small throughout the State and seriously threatened Mayor William Hale Thompson’s hold on Chicago. A record vote was cast. Even State’s Attorney Crowe of Cock County, firmly entrenched for years, could not. hold his forces in line in competition with Circuit Judge John A. Swanson. In the senatorial race, Otis F. Glenn, Lowden-Deneen candidate, held a substantial and growing lead over Frank L. Smith, already elected once to the Senate and appointed twice, but refused the right to take the oath of office. In the State campaign, Louis Empierson defeated Governor Small by a majority which seemed likely early today to mount to more than 300,000. Emmerson Ticket Wins Emmerson carried with him every candidate for State offices. In most cases the contest was not close. There were no close contests for Democratic nominations, most candidates being unopposed. Floyd E. Thompson was nominated for Governor and A. J. Cermak for Senator. In the presidential primary, former Governor Frank O. Lowden, unopposed on the ballot, won an easy indorsement, and seemed assured of all but perhaps a dozen of the State’s sixty-one delegates to the national convention. Fragmentary returns indicated that Mayor Thompson’s uninstructed candidates for delegates—entered in the race as part of his “draft Coolidge” campaign—had won in only a few districts. Governor A1 Smith of New York seemed assured of the State’s Democratic delegates. No Democrats were entered on the preferential ballot, but delegates pledged to Smith generally were successful. Despite the importance to the State of the Republican gubernatorial contest, and the national attention attracted by Frank Smith in his past unsuccessful attempts to take his seat in the Senate, the primary, so far as national interest went, was fought in Cook County. It was as remarkable a campaign as an American city ever has seen. Thompson, Crowe and Small all have been bitter enemies in past campaigns, but they united this year to defend themselves against the powerful offensive of the Deneen forces. The exceptionally heavy vote and the apparent defeat of Crowe indicated that the bulk of the voters held him, as chief prosecuting officer of the county, to blame for the great power achieved by the gangsters. Thompson Not Beaten At one stagje of the campaign, Mayor Thompson was quoted as having said at a meeting of his supporters that he would consider resigning if Crowe were defeated. Some of his advisers later denied he had made the statement, and he never confirmed it; but dozens of persons have asserted they heard him make the remark. Whether he said it or not, few persons acquainted with the mayor believed he would give a thought to such a move now. The mayor probably will be more inclined to set about at once the task of rebuilding his prestige and restoring his political fences, badly in need of repair after Tuesday’s balloting. His supporters pointed out that the refusal of Chicago to follow his dictates does not necessarily indicate that his personal power is gone, for his personality rather than his politics has given him his hold on the voters, and his personality can produce its greatest effect only when he himself is seeking office.

KLAN EFFORTS TO RULE U. S. POLITICS AIRED Klux ‘Secret Service’ Branch ‘Got Goods’ on Officials, Says'Witness. RIOT LAID TO EVANS •Liar’ Shout in Pittsburgh Courtroom Brings Ejection of Spectator. BY ROSS DOWNING United Tress Staff Correspondent PITTSBURGH. April 11.—Efforts

| of the Ku-Klux Klan to exert po- ! litical pressure throughout the United States were touched on by ! several witnesses today in the Federal Court trial to oust the organization from Pennsylvania. J. R. Ramsey of Dayton. Ohio, who told of the activities of the Klan “night riders” at Tuesday’s session, testified it was the duty of a secret service branch of the Klan in Ohio to obtain information, good and bad, concerning all manner of public officials. This information was to be used to control the officials in case the Klan approached them for recognition and was refused. Ramsey said. He said he had been a member of the secret service branch. Judge W. H. S. Thompson ruled against this line of testimony as too broad for the limits of the case. Evans Ordered Riot Hiram W. Evans, imperial wizard of the Klan, ordered the Carnegie (Pa.) riot in 1923, at which time one Klansman was killed and many injured, Norman Hogue of Swissvale, Pa., testified. Hogue, a former member of the order in Pennsylvania, said Evans told Samuel Rich, then grand dragon, that Rfclr lrfilSt mai'r’h Ift’ the Klan parade at Carnegie and that he has no authority to stop the rioting. v William G. Hohman, Pittsburgh churchman, today was ejected from the courtroom where the Klan trial is being staged. Hohman leaped to his feet in the rear of the courtroom and shouted ‘You’re a liar” at one of the wit- : nesses. Dr. Charles S. Hunter of : Verona, former head of the Unity 1 lodge of the Klan. | An instance of the Klan's politiI cal ambitions came from Sterret L. I Clark, averred member of Victory Klan No 82 of Hazelwood, Pa. Tells of Dragon’s Speech Clarke said he heard a speech of Herbert C. Shaw, grand dragon of Pennsylvania, on Oct. 6, 1926, in I which Shaw said that the Klan was | against William S. Vare for United I States Senator and that its officials intended to flood the State with pamphlets “telling what Vare was.” ( Shaw gained admission to the Eucharistic convention of the Roman Catholic Church at Chicago by posing as a priest, Clarke said. Shaw warned the Klansmen that ; if A1 Smith were to be elected PresiJ dent that the Secretary of State and other members of his Cabinet would be Catholics, according to Clarke’s

report of the address. The “night riders” of Ohio Klans concealed stores of ammunition and dynamite in caves and barns, Ramsey declared. Klan women carried riot sticks at a demonstration in Wilkinsburg, Pa.. at which thousands of women marched with the men, Mrs. Mamie H. Bittner of Homstead, testified. Details Oklahoma OutrageTerrorism in Oklahoma, sponsored by members of the Klan were detailed by Frank S. Lanham, of Sand Springs, Okla. Lanham, cyclops of the order in Sand Springs, during the governorship of Jack Walton, told how the ‘night riders” a branch of the Klan had captured two Jewish salesmen of New York and flogged them in the outskirts of Tulsa. “They were forced to whip one another, Lanham said.

250,000 Fans to See Major League Tilts: r .Rain Pevils Openers

1928 Races in Big Loops Launched With All Pilots Optimistic. BY FRANK GETTY l nited Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, April 11.—The flick of white spheres across green diamonds, tiie crash of ash on horsehide, the fragrance of freshly cut grass and roasted peanuts—all the sights and sounds and smells which comprise the lure of the national pastime—are calling nearly a quarter million fans to eight major league ball parks today, as the 1928 baseball season season gets under way. That inveterate foe of fandom, rain, may cause postponement of opening day ceremonies in several cities, but otherwise there will be much marching to the flagpole, incidental music and tossing out of the first ball. The outstanding favorites in the American league, the world’s champion New York Yankees, and the Philadelphia Athletics were at each other’s throats this afternoon, fighting for advantage in a series which will be just as important as any other in determining the outcome of the race. Nor have the National League schedule makers been remiss in arranging some fireworks for opening day, for the Pittsburgh Pirates, 1927 pennant winners, tangle with their strongest rivals for 1928 honors, the St. Louis Cardinals. Cincinnati is looking forward to one of its greatest baseball openings, all seats for Redland Park having been sold and a record crowd is expected for the inintial series against the Chicago Cubs. At Chicago, as many fans as can be spared from duty in the front line trenches will repair to Comiskey Park to see Ray Schalk’s White Sox open the season against the Cleveland Indians. The Detroit Tigers, who are expected to crowd close upon the heels of the leaders in the Ameri-

Remus’ motion to have set aside a previous ruling of the Supreme Court, suspending an appeals court judgment finding him sane and ordering his release from the hospital also was overruled today.

FOUR EX-COUNCILMEN PAY SIOO FINES, ESCAPE PRISON BY ‘DEAL’ WITH PROSECUTOR Todd, Bartholomew, Dorsett and Ferguson Plead Guilty to New Indictments, Ending Action. NEGLEY REFUSES TO JOIN TRADE’ Trial on Bribery Charge Set for April 30; Frankfort, Real Estate Dealer, to Face Court May 9. Four of tlie six ex-citv councilmcn charged with selling their votes lust fall escaped prison terms today and got off with SIOO lilies. Dr. Austin IT. Todd, Walter R. Dorsett and Otis k. Bartholomew, Republicans, and Millard W. Ferguson, Democrat, pleaded guilty to new indictments, just returned this morning, charging malconduct and malfeasance in office, instead of bribery, and thereby escaped trial which might have resulted in prison sentences.

Prosecutors announced that ilk- bribery indictments against the quartet will be nulled. The sentences were passed by Criminal Judge James A. Collins. For several weeks it has been rumored that Prosecutor William H. Remy and Special Prosecutor Emsley W. Johnson would enter into a deal with the councilmcn, whereby in return for the councilmen's resignations they would permit them to plead guilty to the lesser charge and escape the penitentiary. Negley Not in Deal Ex-Councilman Claude E. Negley was not in the deal. He announced when he resigned from council Monday that he was not admitting his guilt of any crime and that he would enter into no dicker with the prosecutors. Consequently, Special Prosecutor Johnson announced this morning that Negley would face trial on the bribery indictment on April 30 as scheduled. Martin Frankfort, real estate dealer. indicted in a zoning deal with the ex-councilmen, will be tried May 9. Boynton J. Moore, the other excouncilman involved in the “bribery trust,” convicted three weeks ago in Criminal Court, was not included in today’s deal. Moore Faces Sentence He still faces sentence to prison by Special Judge Paul G. Davis as scon as a date for the sentencing is fixed. This has been postponed once. It was indicated that the prosecutors will insist on sending him to prison, although since his trial he was the first of the involved councilmen to resign. The escape of the ex-councilmen from prison followed a long conference in the prosecutor’s office of attorneys for the State and the four defendants. The new indictments had been returned about 9:30 a. m. apparently having been drawn some time ago. The new indictment charges malconduct and misfeasance generally and then specifically, “by then and there unlawfully and corruptly soliciting and accepting money and other things of value to influence votes and official conduct with respect to certain ordinances and resolutions.’’ Dorsett was to have gone on trial on the bribery indictment this morning, but this was passed while negotiations on the new indictment were under way. Seek Leniency for Moore Ira M. Holmes, attorney for Moore, was in the courtroom when the four were sentenced, and he went into conference later with Remy and Johnson, regarding some kind of leniency for his client. Remy and Johnson said there is a question as to what may be done in the Moore case, “but no decision has been reached.” Frank Symmes, attorney for Dorsett and Bartholomew, asked for a light fine, as did Charles Clark for Todd. Symmes said his clients “are men of almost no means,” and Clark pleaded Todd “is a poor man, in poor health, and a stiff fine would work a hardship on his family. His record in life,” Clark said, “except for the present case has been without a blemish.” Judge Praises Prosecutors “I hesitate to make the fine small, because it vl’ould. not be right,” Judge Collins said, “and if too high it might do them an injustice.” He praised as '‘wholesome” the work of the prosecutors in “cleaning out the city hall.” “We are living in such a corrupt age I do not know that all trials under the bribery indictment would result in convictions.” The final chapter of the councilmanic cases, as far as the four are concerned, was written in a quiet setting, compared to some of the other sessions In court that has marked the long corruption probe. All Criminal Court business had been finished, and the usual crowd of curious had dispersed. Other than defendants and their attorneys, the prosecutors, court attend-

ants and newspaper men, less than 'a score of persons were present. Remy and Johnson made no recommendation as to amount of tire fine. Remy said, “I have consulted both the grand jury that returned the original indictments last fall, and the present grand jury, and they have acquiesced in this procedure.” “We considered these cases from every angle before we acted, “Remy said after the court session, “and we believe this is the right thing to do." Henry Seyfried was attorney for Ferguson. Started Last Fall Dissolution of the council “bribery' trust” began last fall, when, durig the political corruption inquiry, the county grand jury began to strike pay dirt. Conviction of Mayor John L. Duvall on charges of negotiating with William H. Armitage for the “sale" of jobs in his administration was one of the opening wedges. Although Duvall and his henchmen bought several votes of councilmen, he could not stave off the impeachment move. The council, late hi October, under pressure of public opinion, finally impeached Duvall, at about the same time as Duvall was going through the motions of resigning. The embroglio over who was mayor of Indianapolis resulted. Face Grand Jury Soon thereafter the grand jury had Duvall and several of his friends before it, and Councilman O. Ray Albertson several times. The councilman indictments, charging that they solicited and accepted bribes from Duvall to influence their votes on impeachment or asked and took money from real estate men for votes on rezoning ordinances, were returned. Appearance of the names of Duvall, his associates and Albertson on the bills indicated their testimony caused the indictments. Later these same persons were the chief witnesses in the trial of Boynton J. Moore, disclosing a bald story of trafficking in council votes in darkened city hall offices. The councilmcn indignantly cried “frame-up” when the indictments were returned. The conviction of Moore apparently shook their confidence. They immediately began negotiations for the deal with the prosecutors. The prosecutors asked several civic organizations to nominate successors for the indicted councilmen, if they resigned. The organizations responded and by ones and twos the vacancies have been filled in the last week.

Lieber, Gerdts Elected

City council, in special session this afternoon, elected Herman P. Lieber, 1415 Central Ave„ to All the seat of Claude E. Negley, resigned, and Walter B. Gerdts, 964 Bradbury St„ to succeed Otis E. Bartholomew, involved in the council bribery cases, got out Monday. O. Ray Albertson, unindicted, but one of the seven councilmen in the “bribery trust,” resigned this afternoon. Council accepted. Albertson is the last of the involved councilmen to resign. The new councilmen were recommended by the joint civic committee, which also had nominated Al mus G. Ruddell, 1909 N. New Jersey St., and William M. Taylor 1449 N. Delaware St., for the Negley place, and H. H. Bishop, 964 Garfield Dr., and Paul E. Rathert, 737 S. Meridian St., for the Bartholomew seat. Ruddell withdrew, explaining that his firm held city contracts. Resignation of Councilman Austin H. Todd, filed Tuesday, was accepted. President Pro Tern. Edward B. Raub called a special meeting at 1:30 Friday to select successors to Todd and Albertson. ENGLISH AUTHOR DIES Stanley J. Weyman, the Dumas, Expires at Age of 71 Years. LONDON, April 11.—Stanley J.
