WILKERSON AFTER POLICE
About fifty policemen, uniformed
and plain'clothes men, are named as
collectors of money from women hus
tling the streets, in affidavits accessi
ble to "Des't Att'y Wilkerson in white
slave cases now being prosecuted.
Four East Chicago avenue station
men" are named along with two straw
ball men and a shady lawyer who
make that station their hangout.
From $5 to $21 at a time was forced
from girls and women. Twenty-second
street station men are also
named.
Girls and women who have sworn
to affidavits are at the Coulter house
under care of Kate Adams. Five dol
lars a week "protection" money was
paid by street hustlers and from 50
cents per week and up inside of
houses.
One girl says: "The uniformed of
ficer at S." Wabash and Van Buren
told me to pay him $5 a week and he
would tip off the plain clothes men
not to pinch me. Dives specified in
statements are Jim Finley's, Archer
and Armour avenue; Mike the Greek,
2015 S. Clark street; Joe Adducci, li3
W. 21st street
A shake-up in the East Chicago
avenue station is rumored.

POLICE STILL AT IT
The police were after union pickets
again this noon and Agnes McNa
mara, Agnes Timmond, Carrie White
and Agnes Ertle were arrested while
walking before non-union lunch
rooms.
All were taken to the S Clark street
station, where they obtained their
release by signing their own honds.
o o
STILL NOTHING DOING
Efforts of the United States board
of mediation and conciliation to settle
the differences between the engine
men and managers of western rail
roads seem to be meeting with little
success and a settlement now seems
farther away than ever.
In all probability theonly way that
the matter can finally be adjusted is
to submit all to a board of arbitra
tion. The enginemen are somewhat
Ieary of arbitration

DUNNING ENGINEERS STRIKE
The union steam engineers employ
ed at the Dunning state asylum
struck yesterday because Superiri
tendent George Leininger employed
George Hyde as engineer. Hyde is in
bad with the labor union.

Hurralj for the heat, folks.
Sweat if you will.
But don't kick and pout, 'cause

We might as well laugh,

Our grouches won't help
To rid us of it.

TODAY'S HEALTHOGRAM
A well-known physician places
plain water at the head of the list of
summer drinks. He also says carbonated-water,
root beer, sarsaparilla and
ginger ale are good if the purchaser
will be 3reful where he gets them.
Buttermilk is offered as a wise sub
stitute for beer on hot days.
