LEGGER’S THREAT SENDS ELMER TO JAIL SAFETY i “Pay Saturday or Else,” So Debtor Tells Police of Old Crimes; Held. By United Press i CHICAGO, Dec. 2.—Elmer McDonald’s bootlegger sent him to jail today, but the idea was McDonald’s, not the bootlegger’s. McDonald went to Joseph Con- | nolly, policeman, and explained that , he came from Des Moines. “I held up three places out there in H>29,” McDonald said, according to the officer. “I got $55 loot, and I want you to lock me up.” A check of records showed McDonald's story correct, and he was asked why he made the confession since no suspicion was directed toward him. “It's on account of my bootlegger,” he said. “I owe him $8 and he told me I’d have to pay up by Saturday or else . So I figured I better go to jail where I’d be safe.”

CHIdAGO, Dec. 2.—A revolutionary program to simplify Chicago's metrojpolitan government by abol- , ishing .307 of 438 governing units and save taxpayers more than S2O,- ] 000.000 a year was placed before an Illinois legislative subcommittee today.' The proposals would eliminate more than 1.500 elective offices and cut about 5 per cent from the annual county lax bill. The program was outlined to a | subcommittee of the legislature on j consolidation of governments head-! ed by Representative Elmer J. j Schnackenberg. Principal savings would come j through elimination of overlapping! governments. Among the drastic changes proposed is abolition of the offices of j sheriff, coroner, county surveyor, county schools superintendents. The state’s attdrney, recorder and county clerk would be appointed instead of elected. Two major agencies would be created to handle duties now in charge of scores of small and unintegrated governing bodies. These would be a metropolitan police administration and a metropolitan public works administration. It was proposed that city depart-
