PINCH LAVIN'S DRIVER.
Jack Connors, chauffeur for
in-waiting to Andy Lawrence of
the Hearst papers, Jias an idea
that just because the trust news
paper autos and wagons can dash
through the streets at high speed
and kill and maim citizens, he,
being Lavin's man, can do the
same.
Connors in the captain's car
came crashing down Michigan
avenue yesterday hours ahead of
the speed limit- Between Hub
bard court and Congress street
he was stopped by a motorcycle
policeman. Connors then pro
ceeded to tell the motorcycle: man
what-a really small person he was
to interfere with an employe of
Capt. Lavin.
The policeman hustled Con
nors along to the Clark street sta
tion. Judge Robinson this morning
continued the case until Sept. 3.

investigation. Senator Clapp says
