Chicago, Special: Edward McCann. police inspector of the Fourth District, with headquarters at the Desplaines Street station, has been indicted ten times by the Cook County Grand Jury on charges of grafting from resorts In the West Side levee. The police official has given bonds aggregating $20,000. obtained suspension from police duty at his own request, and Issues defiance to the vice powers of the West Side, whose testimony is relied upon to put him in the
penitentiary.
On the voting of these indictments
excited attaches of the State's Attorney's office predicted that the coming week of activity by the Grand .hin
will develop conditions as bad as San Francisco and pointed to the fact that
00 subpoenas for witnesses from the
police districts of the city have been issued. These storie3 stated that each
police district In turn Is to undergo
the scrutiny of the grand jury.
The resort owners charge the in
spector with having accepted money
July 1 last from characters of the Des-
plaines street vice district.
The five indictments charging mal
feasance In office, each of which carries a fine of $10.000 in the event of
conviction, are based upon the respect
ive Indictments charging bribery and
accuses the Inspector of malfeasance
In failing to have the resort keepers
lined and driven away.
The resort keepers, who are named
as witnesses on the McCann indict
ments, were indicted for keeping II
legal resorts, the purpo.se being, It
was said, to hold clubs over them un
til they finally give testimony against
the police la court.
Morris Schaatz, one of the resort keepers involved in the grand jury
investigation, made the following tie
tailed statement of conditions in the
Desplaines Street District:
"I have been a dive keeper in Chi cago for sixteen years, and I will ad
mit that every dive keeper In the West
bidq -levee district, as well as other sections of Chicago, must pay tribute
to the police. I have been held up
by the police so much of late that I
could not stand it any longer.
"Perhaps the world in general does
not know how tribute money Is col
lected. There is always a 'go-be
tween nt the head of all vice trusts.
and In the West Side levee district it
is Michael Heltler, known aa 'Mike
de Pike.
Now 'Mike 69 Pike Is and has
been the right-hand man of Inspector
McGann. They dined and wined to
gether. I have often seen them out
automobile riding. For a long time I
paid 'protection money to 'Mike de
Pike.' who would see Inspector Mc
Gann afterward.
Washington, Specinl: President

seemed to enjoy the spectacle and
joined in the laughter when a fat

natlonul enslßn and the Confederate flag. The films were made at Petersburg, Vn., several weeks ago, when tho Preddont participated In the ceremonies of the unveiling of a monument to the Pennsylvania troops at Ft. Mahone and Ft. Stedham. Representative Lassltcr, who lives at Petersburg, liked the pictures nnd asked the President to see them, and he assented, aa he does to most propositions advanced by hin friends.

"The examnle belnir spt ovprv iinv
by the people who should be fighting against card playing Is deplorable. Every time I deliver my lecture I become more convinced that no one person or set of people can check the card-playing evil. It is a danger which confronts especially the women of the country, and It Is time that a crusade national In scope were inaugurated. I predict that within a few vears a wave of sentiment against card playing will sweep over the country from one end to the other. At present the temperance wave is carrying all be-
iure u. ii tne American people will awaken to a new danger, which In many ways is more dangerous to our country than the liquor question, then they will rise in their might and gambling will be reduced to the minimum degree. The card-playing evil la the 'slickest game,' if you will pardon the expression, of which the devil Is past master. What harm can there be to a little game of cards? Is the question which I often answer. It is only the Srst step the devil uses to tempt his victim toward gambling. For years I refused to play for prizes. More than once I had hidden my score for fear I would win. Finally I yielded to temptation; carried away one
prize, trorn that time on for several years I won prize after prize. Today these prizes are In the safes of one of the Jewelry houses of this city. "When I went to St. Louis to enter the net'onal whist tournament. I was in just the condition that a great many women now are. I was cardplaying crazy. I won first honors, and was herald 3d as the champion woman whist player of the United States. One day It dawned on me that It was all wrong. The longer I thought on the subject the more convinced I became. Then came the determination
to quit forever all kinds of card plaving. I was soon on the platform speaking to large audiences. Since that time I have spoken to thousands of people, from many platforms. In all parts of the United States. The work started is yet in its infancy, and I expect to see tho day when card playing will be abandoned in the homes of the American people." "THE SECRET UNVEILED."

Title of Book Issued By Thaw's Mother in Defense of Her Son. New York, Special: Harry Thaw's mothpr last week issued her book In which she attacks the courts. District Attorney Jerome and all others connected In any way either with the prosecution of her son for the murder of Stanford White or with keeping him in the asylum at Matteawan since he escaped conviction on the plea of Insanity. She has mailed copies to many newepap-rs. The title Is "The Secret Unveiled." She says: "When I returned from Europe in
July, 1900. I found a cowardly combination of men of professional standing, with disappointed blackmailers.
perjurers and others all working in
the interest of the very rich companions of Stanford White, to prevent a
trial which would result In exposure. They set to work to blacken the repu
tation of my son, an average young man with a chivalrous nature. Then the entire family, living and dead, waa attneked by slanderous false
hoods. They pretended my son had delusions regarding those three in
famous dens used by Stanford White nnd his companions In their orgies.
Judge from these unlooked-for dis
closures and from the powerful influence of these miserable degenerates
of the corruption behind this persecution."
She declares Thaw's confinement fn
Matteawan "Illegal imprisonment that would wreck most men with forti
tude."
No attempt Is made nt a real re

Galveston, Texas, Special: Cut off from communication with tho outer world, Galveston last week pitted Its sea wall against the fury of wind and of wave, and won. Though tho wind reached a maximum velocity of 70 miles an hour and thousands of tons of water were hurled against the masonry break-water which surrounds the densely settled
portion of the city, not ono life waa lost on Galveston iBland. Ten persons were drowned when Bettison's pier, on the north jetty collapsed under the onslaught of the angry waters and was washed awny. The hurricane swept the entire gulf coast with an intensity that has seldom been equaled In a country where destructive storms are not unusual. It had Its origin on the Atlantic coast and swung westward and southward, devastating the entire gulf coast, even as far south as Matagorda Bay. The hurricane struck Galveston Wednesday morning. The wind, attaining a velocity of 70 miles an hour, whipped the treacherous waters of the Mexicnn Gulf Into a fury of destruction and blindly assaulted the grim parapetB of stone which man had built to restrain its attacks. In vain It hurled its thousands of tons of water upon the splendid breastworks. Only a feeble burst of spray and a little water reached the beleaguered city. The Galveston sea wall cost $1,500,000 and was built after the terrible disaster of September S, 1900, when C.000 lives were lost and $20,000.000 worth of property destroyed. Construction of the wall was begun when the city had recovered from the shock
of the previous wave and was completed wlthn four years. Tho first disaster made It imperative that tho city have protection from the sea.
The funds for this Immense undertaking were raised practically by the people of Galveston. Tho Legislature authorized Galveston county to Issue $1,500.000 In 4 per cent bonds, running for forty years, nnd these the citizens of the town immediately subscribed for. The sentiment of the people of Galveston was behind this work and the public credit which was invoked to carry It into effect, and as such It
stands without parallel.
Galveston is the natural outlet of
Texas, and as such will probably re
main a permanent port, If the walls
costing millions of dollars, proposed
and built after the first disaster, have
to be heightened nnd strengthened on even a more elaborate and expensive
scale.

M. LOUIS BLERIOT CESSFUL FLIGHT IN
MAKES SUC-AEROPLANE.
ALMOST A MLE A MINUTE
Twenty-one Miles Through Windy Course Made In TwentyThree Minutes.
Dover, England, Cable: M. Louis nierlot, a French aviator, successfully crossed the English Channel, twenty miles, In an 'aeroplane at an early hour Sunday. M. Bleriot started from Calais, France, at 5 o'clock and landed on the Cliff of Dover. Ho is reported to have been slightly Injured. M. Bleriot has for Bcveral years been an active aviator In France and Is said to have had more miraculous
escapes In his career than any other aeronaut. He made a cross-country flight from Toury to Arthenay, Franco, March 31, 1908, In a monoplane. His latest achievement, prior to crossing tho channel, was a flight on July 13, from Etampes to Orleans, a distance of twenty-five miles. He made a successful landing, covering the distance In 5C minute, 10 seconds, Including a stop of eleven minutes near Toury to examine his aeroplane. By this achievement ho won the French Aero Club prize of $2,800. Hubert Latham made a daring but unsuccessful attempt July 19 to cross
the English Channel.
M. Blerlot's monoplane Is of the Latham type, but it is the smallest flying machine yet bult. It Is fitted
with a three-cylinder motor, which is air-cooled and drives a two-bladed propeller. Hhe pilot's seat is in a skifflike body behind tho wings.
Only Saturday M. Bleriot received
the decoration of the Legion of Hon
or for his efforts in promoting the
science of aviation.
The route across the English Chan.
nel from Calais to Dover was chosen because of the various and trencher-
ous winds the aviator must eiilounter and thus, if successful, establish the stability of his machine.
Seamen have related how in the
space of a mile eight different winds have been encountered, and to be able to stem them all with an aeroplane places the flight over this route on record as the greatest achievement
reached by the "heavier-than-nlr" ma
chine of the plane and propeller type.
uieriot left Las Baramies. three
miles from Calais, about 4:30 a. m.
He crossed tho channel, twentv-one
miles, In twenty-three minutes, twice as swiftly as the fastest mall boat.
He kept about 250 feet above the sea level and for ten minutes, while about mldchannel, was out of sight of both
TWENTY FANS ARE INJURED. Umpire's Unpopular Decisions Cause Riot Among Spectators. Jackson. Mich., Special: During a riot over unpopular decisions by Umpire C. E.

The crowd in tho grand Btaml flocked to the front of the structure and pressed against th3 railing. Tho strain became too great and the railing gave way, precipitating the people nearest It to tho ground below. Soma of the falling persons alighted on tho heads of the ones below and were piled In a heap on tho ground. The umpire made his escape, pursued by the mob. and was chased Into his room at the hotel, two mllea away, where he was guarded by the police for two houro.
