vnnii nv nnnnv minir IHnirDI DUDDI DUimL Starts a Rumor That the Allen Law. Will Be Revived. HAS OTHER CANARDS Harrison Manaeer May Predict Karnes of Carter Cabinet. Election CommlHloifn Pasa om Com-alatata of Taoae Who Have Re-crlvr4 Saspeet Kotlces. Robert Emmet BurVe i said to be under Contract to furnish at least one fanciful campaign yarn a day.

It is said that he has three or four dazzling propositions to present to the gullible voter before the campaign ends. i will nnmineA thAeahlnet. jo a uaj vi a part of It. that Mayor Carter, If elected, will appoint. It is reported that he has selected one or two names of persons particularly offensive to decent people, and that he will pretend to have assurances that these persons will be given prominent positions under the Republican administration.

He is also reported to have a roorback for the meeting of the city council this evening. But his future campaign stories will probably be of about the same consistency as the one he sent afloat yesteraay. mis siory to the effect that after the election a substitute for the Allen law was to be passed. He caused It to be bruited aboutthat a wide-open street-railway law was to be placed on the statute books, and the story had all the Chinese nightmare trimmings that Mr. Burke's fertile imagination could Invent for It.

The Republican campaign committee ridiculed the story. Chairman Eckhart called attention to the fact that the last day for the introduction of bills in the State Legislature had passed two weeks ago, and that no new legislation could be introduced in either house. Altgeld's 'managers predict that tonight's meeting at the Auditorium will be the greatest gathering in the campaign. They say there has been the greatest demand for single tickets of admission ever experienced. During the last three days the room of the managers of the meeting has been thronged with men who wanted one or two tickets.

In no case has any one person been given more than six tickets, and nearly 15,000, they say, have been asked for. When the Harrison people held their meeting at the Auditorium bundles of tickets In fifties and hundreds were sent to wholesale houses and manufacturing establishments. At the Democratic headquarters a bushel of tickets was scattered on the temporary desk or counter in the public room. The Altgeld people predict a packed house and crowded streets outside. Joseph A.

O'Donnell and Captain W. P. Black, in addition to Mr. Altgeld. will make speeches.

Joseph W. Errant will preside. All day yesterday a long line of men in the corridor outside the offices of the board of election commissioners, awaited examination in regard to their eligibility to vote at the coming election. They were thereMn answer to the summons of the commissioners' suspect notices. Eleven hundred notices had been sent out.

Tbe board hearing extended until midnight. All those who had not appeared np to that time were declared to be illegal voters. There were complaints from those whOBe names had been erased by the officers in the precinct last Saturday night, but the board ruled that they could not be heard. The majority of those examined were allowed to have their names placed on the register. The Altgeld managers had a conference with the election board yesterday to arrange for the recognition of their challengers and watchers and precinct captains.

They received assurances that the representatives of their party would be accorded all the rights and privileges granted any other party. Chairman O'Donnell of tbe organization committee said yesterday that every precinct in the city had been organized with a full quota of workers, and they were ready for the election to take place today. At the Republican rally of the Twentieth. Twenty-First. Twenty-Second.

The-resolution indorsing Altgeld sets forth that he is the only candidate whose public utterances and record are in accord with the objects of the league. The manifesto was Issued by the executive committee yesterday. If Mayor Harrison is re-elected.

The Elevator Conductors and Starters' Benevolent association of Chicago has Issued a statement signed by Secretary George R. Nelson, telling the objects and political standing of the association.

104 Randolph street. It pays a sick benefit to members of $5 a week, aad. In case of death. $75. The association itself does not go into politics.

An auxiliary body has been formed, however, which is not hampered in its indorsement of any candidate or political movement. It Is this body which has the grievance against Mayor Harrison regarding an ordinance licensing elevator men. and which is now trying to get a bill passed for the purpose at Springfield. This organization has indorsed Zina R. Carter for mayor and is making a vigorous fight on the present executive.

A petition indorsing Harrison was recently circulated in the association, but has secured almost no signers. The officers of the benevolent association are J. J. O'Shannessey, president; M. McFadden, vice president; George Nelson, secretary; Thomas Murphy, recording secretary; Joo M.

Berbert, treasurer; J. Monahan. sergeant-at-arms, and William Noll, chairman; George Nelion, Edwin Yerkes, John Johnston, Frank Klelntop, trustees. NAVAL OFFICERS IN LAWSUIT. Stork Worth 70,000 Aliened to Have Deea Procured by Kraad.

Lieutenant Charles S. Ripley, retired, of the United States navy, was one of three defendants In a suit tried before Judge Holdom In tee Superior court yesterday, in which John R.

The other de-fendarts are the American Mining company, of which Ripley is managing director; J. Sted-man, treasurer, and Captain E- Marshall, United States navy. Stedman Is the secretary of the mining corporation. Eldred claims that in 1898. when he left Chicago for a Western trip.

Lieutenant Ripley attached the mining stock without notice on a Judgment for $212, secured in Milwaukee. Ripley, the complaint says, bid In all the stock, then valued at 40 cents a share. The stock Is said to be worth $70,000. Ripley yesterday testified that he practically had given the. stock in.

question to the complainant, and bad also loaned him $200, which, he says; the complainant never repaid to him. but tried to beat him out of. As a result he filed a suit in Milwaukee and recovered the stock in satisfaction of the Judgment against Eldred. HETTY GREEN IN COURT. Errcstrle Mlllloaalre Llsteas to Arara-nacats la a Fanaoaa Lavvaalt.

Mrs. Hetty H. R. Oreen was conspicuous yesterday in the crowd gathered to hear the arguments before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in the bill Died by John Evans Cornell, in which the court Is asked to clear the title to Chicago property valued at over $1,000,000. The property in question consists of unimproved lots in the town of Lake and west of Woodlawn, as well as an improved eighty-foot lot on Michigan avenue near Hubbard court.

As a result of foreclosure proceedings begun by Hetty ureen, tne property was sold in February, 1877, and it is claimed by the complainant that the man who deeded the property to him had received no notice of the litigation, and the property was sold without his knowledge. On this ground, he asks that the de fendant be ordered to make an accounting of the value of the premises and pay to him his Just share. The defendant was represented by Attorneys W. Ogden of San Antonio. Texas; J.

S. Miller, and G. R. Peck, while the complainant case was stated by Robert Ray. The arguments were made before Judges Woods, Jenkins, and Bunn, Who took the matter jnder advisement.

REPORT OF POLICE FORCE. Chief Klpley Says His Mea Have Deae Splendid Work. Chief of Police Klpley's report for his department for 1898 is completed. "With the officers which we have in this city, 2,675, or one to every 701 residents," he said yes terday, "the work has been very satisfactory. We have lets men in proportion to population than almost any cit of any importance, but the record in the capture or hardened and desperate criminals shows the men are ef ficlcnt.

Four of the bravest officers on the force have been killed during the year while in performance of their duties, and 187 have been injured. Two new stations have been added to the ones already in use, all of which reflect credit on the city and have an the modern conveniences for the police service. Altogether it has been the most satisfactory year's work of any since I have been in the department. MAYOR'S CIVIL SERVICE. Competitor for ABpoIatnseat Marks Dom Joha P.

Grace's I perm. John P. Grace, who took the civil-service examination for elevator Inspector in "June, 1897. has realised the futility of civil-service rule as now conducted. Grace says that his papers were marked by James Myers, a com petltor in the tests, with the result that Myers was third on the list, while Grace was rejected, with a percentage of 64.17.

On an appeal the marking of 94.58 by an expert of the building department was refused, though a third marking of 76.25 was accepted. Less than a year when Grace presented his grievance to -Mayor Harrison, fie was told that, as he had appeared before the Berry committee, a Republican body, and had "talked too much," he could expect no aid. Coaslder Sw Clvll-Serrlee Rale. At a meeting of the civil-service commit loners yesterday afternoon the new rule for reinstating and laying- off employes came up for consideration. It is proposed to make the time of certification the basis of reappointment and dismissal, rather than the average in examination.

The present sys tem has proved unsatisfactory in that at times some of the oldest men. experienced in the service, have been thrown out by new men, who' have chanced to pass a higher examination. The matter was laid over until a fu ture meeting, but it Is said the newsabstltute will be adopted. tntG aXAJX.1T- OCHAHf TILtlllSDAY HOILNTNG, SIABCH CO, 1890, Sim PEOPLE DROVIi Mississippi Steamer Sinks with 1 oia Board but Two.

City's Exeeative, However, Refases to Make His Aaoelatee aad Esaployo Dlsserv. One of Mayor Harrison's appointees on the board of education is Joseph 8.

Schwab. Schwab is also assistant corporation counsel, and draws a salary of $1,600 from the city. Just what service 8cbwab renders to the city for his salary is not known, as he Is seldom to be found about the corporation counsel's office. For tbe past year tho combined forces of tho state's attorney's and the sheriffs offices have been trying to collect a Judgment obtained against Schwab on an Installment bond In a bastardy case, signed by him a little over two years ago. So far the attempt to collect or levy on the Judgment has been fruitless, as Schwab made an affidavit to ths effect that ha bad no personal property, and under the law the city cannot be garnished for his salary.

Mayor Harrison's attention has been called to the case, and Corporation Counsel Thornton has been seen and written to repeatedly, but to no purpose. 8chwab still draws his salary from the city and holds the honorable position of a member of the board of education. The case is that of "Tho People ex rel Anna Schrelber, versus Louis Waterloo." When the decree was given in favor of ths woman for Waterloo consulted Schwab, who was then a member of the Legislature, about going on his bond. An appeal was taken to tho Appellate court, and later to the 8upreme court, and both courts confirmed the judgment given in favor oC the young woman in the lower court. Proeeedlaara Asalstt Schwab.

Schwab signed the installment bond about the time that State's Attorney Kern was getting ready to turn over his office to his successor. His financial standing was not too strictly Investigated. He did not schedule any property, and his word waa taken that ho was good for the amount of the bond. When Waterloo defaulted on the first payment he was cited to appear in the Criminal court on a contempt charge, and committed to Jail. He stated to the Judge that he paid $150 to Schwab to go on bis bond, and thought he had discharged all responsibility by so doing.

Howard E. Leach, attorney for Anna Schrelber, then began proceedings against Schwab to recover on tbe bond. A Judgment waa obtained and a writ of execution issued, but it was found that Schwab had nothing attachable. He swore that bin office furniture was his only property. This consised of one desk, one carpet, one bookcase, one table, fifty law books, one revolving desk chair, a letter press, and four pictures and frames.

An affldsvit to this effect was returned with the signature of Schwab attached, by Deputy Sheriff H. who had charge of the writ of execution. Attorney Leach made repeated visits to the corporation counsel's office, but never found Schwsb there. He was Invariably told he was at the board of education rooms, or out on some corporation business. He saw Corporation Counsel Thornton, who promised to talk the matter over with Schwab.

Letter to Harrises. When the case had dragged along for several months In this way. Attorney Leach wrote Mayor Harrison the following letter: "CHICAGO. lit. Nov.

1. 18S8. The Hon. Carter H. Harrison.

Msyor. Sir: I beg leave to call your attention to the following facta: On Sept. last a Judgment for $172.50 waa entered In the Criminal court of Cook county against Joseph S. Schwab, on an installment bond, in a bastardy case, which bond he had signed as surety for one Louis Waterloo, who had been convicted of bastardy in the Crlnlnal court, and whose conviction had been affirmed by the Appellate court and tbe Supreme court successively. The total liability on the bond is $500.

and costs, only a portion of that sum caving accrued at the present time. Execution is in the hands of the sheriff on that Judgment. Mr. Schwab has Sled with the deputy sheriff, who holds the execution, a schedule, claiming to be exempt. Waterloo Is in Jail, and has been for about four months, for contempt of court in not paying the installments due on the bond, or any of them.

"Mr. Schwab being a member of tbe school board of the city of Chicago, and also being on the city pay roll for $1,500 a year as assistant corporation counsel. I have deemed it right and proper that your attention be called to the above facts, being confident that you will not allow them tp continue. I have the honor to remain your obedient servant. "HOWARD E.
