the Sanitary trustees. and the Board of Education under the general supervision of the county officials. This is to be accomplished without an amendment to the State constitution and without much legislation. A paper was read before the meeting by Thomas Marshall, an attorney at 84 Washington street, suggesting the plans by which the theory could. be carried into effect.

The organization adopted this paper as its platform. According to Mr. Marshall all of the tax-levying and collecting machinery will be brought under one department. and the useless and expensive machinery will be abolished. He says the State constitution provides that the County of Cook shall be managed by fifteen commissioners, and that the county is a constitutional body.

Until the constitution is changed the county government will remain the same. County Board to Rule. Mr. Marshall says the statutes do not provide for a county transacting the business of cities and villages, but he claims this could be easily effected by legislation, and probably much m6re easily than the city could secure a new charter. By granting this new power to the county he would have It include the powers of the Sanitary District trustees, the Park boards, and the taxing bodies of the county.

The city charter could be surrendered. He thinks the City Council is too large to transact the business of the city. The County board of fifteen men, by giving all its time, would be able to transact all the business of the city and the county. He claims that the majority of the county and city officials under the present plans do not have duties to take all of their time. The feasibility of the plan was acknowledged by all present, and Mr.

Marshall was elected President and Samuel Work secretary of the temporary organization. Appeal to Jefferson Voters. The committee in charge of the Civic federation's campaign to abolish township government in Chicago has issued an address to the citizens of the Township of Jefferson, urging them to support the measure at the coming election. tO Ina outte According to Mr. Marshall all of the tax- levying and collecting machinery will be brought under one department and the useless and expensive machinery will be abolished.

E. Buckmaster of the Wisconsin town. Prompt action by Court Commissioner Baker probably prevented serious trouble. Furthrnann is attorney for ex-Alderman John Gaster of Kenosha, who is charged with bribery in connection with the passage of a street railway franchise ordinance.

Commissioner Baker had announced he would decide a petition for writ of habeas corpus yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, but when the attorneys arrived he said he had changed his mind and would withhold the decision until after the election that the campaign might not be affected. When this statement was made District Attorney Buckmaster demanded that the case be certified to the Circuit Court. but the commissioner refused to take such action. This aroused the. District Attorney, and, turning to Deputy Sheriff Fred Reinold, he ordered him to take Gaster at once before the Circuit Court.

Furthraann Makes Threat. Furthmann sprang to his feet, and, tearing off his top coat, he defied the Deputy Sheriff and the District Attorney to lay hands on Gaster. I will defend this man with ray life," be exclaimed. Reinold moved toward the prisoner, and Buckmasfer started toward the door. Furthmann placed himself in front of his client, and, turning to Buckmaster, shouted at the top of his voice: If you attempt to touch that man without a writ I will kill you on the spot." The courts of Wisconsin cannot be dictated to by Chicago lawyers." retorted Buck-master.

Furthmann twice repeated his threat to kill, and. amidst the greatest excitement the speetators fled from the room. The court leaped from the bench and ordered the Deputy Sheriff to desist from any efforts to arrest Gaster without a writ from a higher court. The attorneys at once left the room and hurried to the Circuit Court, which was in session. The District Attorney there took the aggressive step and applied for a bench warrant for the arrest of Gasterto get the case' out of the hands of Corrimissioner Baker.

Easter -4 mffmn -4 When final revision of the registration lists closes tonight it is expected that 1,200 more names will have been erased from the voting lists of the First Ward. This will be the result of the 2,148 additional suspect notices sent out by the Election Commissioners at the demand of the Municipal Voters league and the allied clubs in the fight against colonization of voters. This will reduce the ward's registration from 15,527 in 1901 to something near 13,280, as 1,944 names were stricken oil on public revision night. to last night 700 of these suspected" men had filed before the board and submitted to a fire of questions. Fifty names had been erased.

The final rush will come today and this evening, and then the lists will be closed. Members of the Election board figured last night that between 1000 and 1,200 may fail to appear and attempt to qualify. Largest Erasure for Years. The anticipated erasure is larger than has been known in years. Even in national and Mayoralty campaigns there has been nothing- to equal it.

Officials of the Voters' league hold that this will aid the fight of David L. Frank against Alderman Coughlin. A great Frank meeting is to be held tomorrow night at the Coliseum Annex, when John M. Harlan will speak. Tonight Mr.

Harlan will speak at Aurora Turner Hall in the Seventeenth Ward in behalf of William E. Dever, the Democratic candidate opposing Alderman Oberndorf. Managers of forty-seven lodging-houses of the First Ward appeared before the Election board during the day and gave satisfactory explanations as to the lists of guests tilled from their places. In a number of Instances their testimony led to many names being stricken off the registers. Contests in Other Wards.

Secretary Fisher of the Voters' league asserts that John Cervenka, independent candidate in the Tenth Ward, will defeat Alderman Novak. Many prominent Democrats are working for Cervenka. A bulletin was issued during the day urging Twentieth Ward voters to support Alderman Finn for reelection because of his record and experience. Republicans in the ward are making a hard fight for Charles E. Hyde.

Spring and Summer Circuit Court Takes Case. Judge Belden took the matter into his hands and issued an order to the Sheriff to have Gaster and Purthmann in t'he Circuit Court this morning for the trial of the case. It is thought possible that Gaster will make an effort to oppose with arms any effort to arrest him.

Attorney Furthmann had not been arrested at a late hour last night. I have no excuses to offer for my action," he said. when interviewed in Kenosha, and am willing to abide the consequences. No attorney can afford to fail to protect his client under such high-handed actions or he would be railroaded from the bar in no time." I slhall take no action in, regard to Furthmann at the present time," said District Attorney Duckmaster, but his high-handed methods will not permit the case to be turned from court."

ILO III ii, Alk Charles Nelson, who died in the County Hospital from a basal fracture of the skull. declared to Dr.

E. W. Wenstrand, in the presence of several attendants, that a policeman had hit him on the head with a club, and as a result Deputy Coroner Hy ler began an investigation yesterday. The police declare that there is no foundation for the charge. It is said by the police that Nelson was arrested early on Thursday morning, when the patrol wagon of the Larrabee Street Station was called to Larrabee and Elm streets, where Nelson was found on the pavement In a dazed condition.

The man was taken to the Chicago Avenue Station, where he was locked up on the charge of disorderly conduct. It is said he was under the Influence of liquor. At 9 o'clock the same morning Nelson was released, but when he reached Chicago avenue and Orleans street he fell to the pavement, and the police were called again. This time Nelson was taken to the County Hospital. Here Nelson refused to allow the surgeons to treat an abrasion over his right eye, and was discharged.

An hour later the ambulance of the Lake Street Station was called to 262 Ogden avenue, where Nelson again had fallen to the pavement and was In an unconscious condition. Once more he was taken to the County Hospital, end this time a thorough examination was made, despite his wishes, revealing a scalp wound and a fracture. A short time before Nelson died he accused the police. Nelson lived at 152 Sedgwick street. CitY Sealer James A.

Big men of the eey followed his lead during the day and shied more bricks at Burke, repeating the assertion that the latter's control of the Democratic party in Cook County is almost ended. Leaders of the party are figuring on just how the forces win be in case of a big smashup. and it is claimed that Burke will be left with but a corporal's Tuard. Expect Mayor to Drop Burke.

Mayor Harrison. it was contended by his ease friends, will drop Burke when opportunity offers. In support of this It' was shown that he had turned down Burke when the new Executive committee of the County Central committee was selected some week ago. That political Dowie, Burke," Bald Quinn, "has been trying to get favors from the Mayor with one hand and using a dirk on the Mayor with the other." There was an echo of this; sentiment from big fellews in the party who have always been friendly to the Mayor, but opposed to Burke and his methods. Mayor Harrison himself would say nothing.

He did assert that he is with Alderman Minwegen for reelection from the Twenty-first Ward. Quinn charges that Burke's friends are trying to defeat Minwegen. The Mayor does not seem Inclined to heed Burke's ultimatum that he must dismiss Quinn or lose the former's politent friendship. "Pm trying to get up an annual message te the Council," was all the Mayor would say, and I'll be jiggered if I'll come down from the heights and talk ward politics." Burke Refuses to Reply. Burke had nothing to say.

He stuck to his desk at Democratic headquarters and tried to smile as easily as usual. "Not a word on that." he replied to questions. I've got no hammer." Bntltr. Quinn had plenty to say of Burke. 'The boys in the party who have done-things are on to Mr.

Burke," he asserted. He's been using the party for revenue only. He has tried to Dowielze the Democratic 'arty in this He's different from Dowie, though. Dow le induces people to give up their coin by professing that he will lead them to heaven: 4 Bob Burke doesn't care be feeds the Democratic party there or to the ether place as long a he gets the coin. The party is tired of this thing and it Won't stand for it any longer." Charge Burke with Duplicity.

Then followed long story cf Blirke's alleged duplicity. It is charged that he stirred up candidates in every precinct of the ward last spring in an effort to hamper the candidacy of Alderman Palmer. He told Quinn to down Vincent H. Perkins for Town Superelsor, and then turned around and aided Perkins. He told Assessor James J.

Gray to back Hummel for City Treasurer, and then promised the place to ex-Alderman Gunther, and at the last moment ordered Gray to go over to the Gunther column. but Gray refused to break his promise to Hummel. Why, Burke wants to defeat me at the county primaries so he can get me off the County committee," said Quinn. I don't know whether he has given that post away or not. But he will! 0, yes, he'll call in eight or nine fellows and promise each one of them the place.

Yes! That's and then he'll leave them out on the doorstep in the winter breezes when they come around to get it. That's Talking about sell-.
