HARDING NAMED IN LANDIS PERJURY AND PROPERTY QUIZ State Sen. Geo. F. Harding was the shadowy background figure in Judge Landis' court yesterday. Dan Kinally, cigar store man at 62 E. 18th st., political lieutenant and business associate of Sen. Harding, was held to federal grand jury under $i0,000 bonds for alleged perjury. Property scheduled by Kinally as surety for professional criminals ,was scheduled before Com'r Mason as worth $10,000. Kinally's oath before Com'r Mason that he got the property from Sen. Harding for $10,000 cash "and other valuable considerations1', doesn't tal ly with his oath before Judge Landis that he got the property from Sen. Harding "for nothing" and "for po litical services." State's Att'y Hoyne's recent action before Judge Olson brought mention of Sen. Harding as a high man at City Hall and- with the police. As a Baldwin senate committee member who admitted supplying cash to Att'y "Meyer J. Stein for "expense accounts" of senators, as an Auto matic phone stockholders and as a political partner of Corp. Counsel Ettelson in control jointly with Aid. Oscar De Priest of the Second ward Republican vote, and now as finan cier of professional bondsmen, Hard ing's operations are being watched with interest by Wets and Drys. HOYNE'S DOUBTS TRUTH OF AUTO BAND HEAD'S STORY If the story of Abraham Raymer, against whom there are several charges of larceny, is true, several policemen and others engaged in or ganized auto thievery may be indict ed .next week. . .Six policemen are said to have caught the gang early last spring and let them go on an arrangement that the 'officers were to receive a certain sum on each car stolen; State's Att'y Hpyne is; not, alto gether saQsfled that .Raymer is tell ing the truth? Details of Raymerjs long statement were not given out. He has talked freely, however, and it is evident that he 'is playing for the leniency which is within the prose cutor's province to give him. G, O. P, SENATORS LINE UP IN SUPPORT OF LOWDEN Twenty-fourmembefS of the new Illinois state senate have pledged themselves to support the Lowden administration upon essential prop ositions. This group, making a ma jority of the G. O. P. caucus, will con trol the organization of the senate and direct the Republican caucus. Sen. Willett H. Cornwell has an nounced that he is candidate for president pro tern. That probably means a hot fight between Cornwell and Sen. Adam C. Cliffe of Sycamore -for the honor. Republicans have determined to retain the right within the senate of naming committees, rather than to go back to the policy of permitting the. lieutenant-governor to exercise this power. In the last session the leading fac tors were known as -the Barr-Dailey-Ettelson combination. Again in power, it looks as if Sen. Ban- will be chairman of judiciary committee, Curtis of appropriations, Cornwall of insurance, if he is not named presi dent pro tem, and Dailey of railroads. e o NINE ARE DEAD IN SOUTHERN STORM SCORES INJURED Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 27.
