EXPECT RIOTING AMONG THE
STATE LEGISLATORS
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 25. The
efforts of Gov. Hooper, who called the
legislature into special session to
have passed laws that will give him
authority to rigidly enforce the state
wide prohibition laws which he
claims are not properly administered,
may result in bloodshed and further
rioting on the floor of the lower
house.
Every member of the legislature is
searched by police, before he enters
the hall, and it is possible that before
night the legislature will be working
under the surveillance of militiamen.
Affairs reached a climax last night
when, after the second day of rioting,
alleged gunmen, said to have been
hired by various factions, drew their
revolvers for the purpose of protect
ing their friends.
The situation is similar to that
which preceded the assassination of
Governor Goebel of Kentucky, when
armed political clansmen were
brought into Frankfort, Ky. There
is the same intense feeling and apprehension.
THE TRUNK MYSTERY
The groaning trunk mystery be
came enlivened today when it was
found that Mrs. Kate Coney, to
whom the auto license, supposed to
have been on the auto in which the
trunk was driven away, had disap
peared in Chicago two weeks ago.
Mrs. Coney lives in Watseka, HI. A
mistake in address led the police to
believe she lived in Walnut, 111.
Search is now being made fpr a
Hungarian, employed by Mrs. Coney,
who disappeared from Watseka Sun
day, the day before the trunk mystery
was reported' to the police by Louis
Bram the expressman.
The police are also working on a
suggestion that the body in the trunk
may be that of Mateo Maletto, a lab
orer, who disappeared frorn the home
of Mrs. Mary Scarponi, 1321 Gilpin,
place, Monday. - "-
