LERROUX PREDICTS END OF MONARCHY IN SPAIN. CONDITIONS ARE "INDESCRIBABLE" Spanish Leader Declares Alfonso Will Be Swept From Throne By Whirlwind of Revolution. Paris, Cable: A whirlwind of revolution that will sweep the last vestige of monarchlal rule from Spain, Is the prediction of Alexandre Lerroux, ono of the Spanish republican leaders. Lerroux passed through Paris hurrying to Madrid to join the councils of his compatriots. Lerroux characterized conditions In Spain as "indescribable." '"The execution of Garcia, one of the lending republicans of Catalona," exclaimed Lerroux, "was nothing less than murder. He was put to donth without the least opportunity of defending himself. Ferror, another of the revolutionary leaders, will meet the same täte. He Is certain to be condemned without any proof that he Is guilty of the charge against him. There are some 1.500 men and women in the dungeons of Harcelona prisons. They have been there since the July riots 'awaiting trial.' That phrase is a mockery. They will never be tried. "With the liberty of country gone, revolution is the inevitable consequence and the liberties of the Spanish people have been gradually taken from them until now nothing remains. As sure as tomorrow follows today Spain will be swept by a bloody revolution." Lerroux disciiRsed the suspension of constitutional guarantees throughout the Spanish provinces and said that this action as much as anything else was the cause of the widespread disaffection.

He does the banking business for the people and manufactures many of tho things that they eat and wear. His annual rentals aggregate an enormous sum.

Terrazas has traveled extensively In tho United States. He has visited New York and Is well known In certain financial circles of that citv. When in Mexico he lives the simple life that Is common with the older class of Mexicans. Irrespective of their wealth. He has a magnificent home, fully equipped with most modern conveniences.

'GRAFT" CASES fcXPOSE ALL Figures Show Large Fortunes Are Pocketed By Sandbag Tactics In Levee. Chicago, Special: From the dives, shady hotels, the saloons and the gamblers of tho South Stde terrttory extending to and embracing the Twen-ty-Becond "red light" levee, two powerful business men of the district commanded by Police Inspector John Wheoler are pocketing a golden stream of graft that exceeds $100,000 a year. For years the gigantic "system" of corruption has existed. It puts the West Side ring of tribute collectors, routed by State's Attorney Waymman, through the conviction of Police Inspector McCann, to shame. An army of lieutenants has been marshaled together to see to It that no bloodstained penny ever escapes the coffers of tho masters "soldiers of the night," and they are constantly on guard. The human machlno of extortion, oiled constantly by the patronage of special privilege, comprises more than 300 workers saloon keepers, resort proprietors, women in and women removed from tho underworld, and for some of the work specimens of masculine human dregs who have been plucked because of their knowledge of sandbags and other similar agencies of persuasion, from the very scum or the riff-raff of the world. The "system" has made It possible for the underpowers in good grace to commit unchecked flagrant violations of the law in the notorious Twentysecond street district. It has made it possible for that tumor in the municipal breast to expand until it comprises soveral times over the original area that was sot aside for it, despite the apparent efforts of the police and civic organizations to curb it or eliminate it altogether. The system of corruption headed by tho two business men stands wholly responsible for the enormous growth in Chicago of tho white slave Industry, for the degenerates at the head of the vicious organization of women traffickers have paid the price and their operations have been countenanced accordingly. For years the graft toll of the two powers has poured In from the following sources and at the following approximate rates each year: Uosort district dives $50,000 Shady hotels 15.000 Dance halls 10,000 Gambling houses 10,000 Chinese gamblers 2,500 All-night saloons 5.000 Concert halls 2.500 Immoral theaters 2.500 Massage and Manicure parlors 5,000 Turkish bath houses 2,500 Cocaine selling 2.500 Sidewalk commercialism 2,500 While slave procurers 5.000 Pickpockets 2.500 Total $117,500 Those are the facts and Agares that echo about the City Hall and the South Side underworld following the order of Chief of Police Steward on Saturday, the most drastic police order, to stamp out the vice.
