THOMPSON SAYS COUNTY IS
"SULLIVANIZED"
Wm. Hale Thompson said at a
meeting last night:
"Chicago and Cook county is be
ing 'Sullivanized' in a manner to ex
cite the envy of uny trust-builder.
Roger controls the sanitary district
"As boss of that district he has the
management of the electrical power,
which the people have tried to de
velop. "As boss of that district his hench
men have inaugurated the rqform of
'lump' payrolls, making it impossible
to tell exactly where the money goes.
"As boss of that district he is able
to put thousands of men on the pay
roll whenever a Democratic primary
is to be carried.
"As boss of that district he is able
to give large and juicy contracts to
the Great Lakes Dredge Co., which
he and his political friends are said
to own.
"As boss of the county clerk's, the
recorder's and other county offices he
is able to put men on the payroll who
will do his bidding.
"As boss of the state auditor of
public accounts he is able, through
his examiners, to know whose paper
is in every state bank. Through that
power business men can be forced to
do his bidding or have their paper
objected to when presented to his ex
aminers for approval
"As mayor of Chicago he can have
his Great Lakes Dredge Co. repeat
the kind of work it is said to do upon
the sanitary -canal and make the peo
ple pay for it dig in the daytime and
dump back at night"

THROUGH THIS NEW IDEA
The first Public Defenders' league

The league is composed of a num

devote a portion of their time de
fending boys in the boys court who
are not able to hire the services of
a lawyer.
Judge Dolan, who presides over the
court, said: "It has frequently been
stated that the poor do not secure
justice because they cannot hire law
yers to properly present their cases
to the court. With this in mind I
approached several well-known law

very willingly offered their services
without pay to these boys. Each one
of them win spend one day in the
court."
NEW "LOVE CULT" TANGLE 1
Alliance, O., March 26. Mysteri
ous rites believed to have been per
formed at the "Brotherhood Home"
of the Kingdom of God, a religious
"new love" cult of 12 members, 7 of
them women, are under investigation
following death of Amy G. Tanner,
23, a convert, under circumstances
that indicate an illegal operation had
been performed. "Apostle" P. A.
George, leader of the cult, is in jail
and other members are under surveil
lance. George in his cell declared: "The
voice of God speaks to me and tells
me I am innocent of the charge. I do
not believe in free love, but the laws
of men are not the laws of God and
every man has a real wife, though
she may not be the one the law united -him
