On July 8 Skokie defeated Winnetka in four out of five matches. Last Sunday Indian Hill defeated Winnetka's team, 5-0. On August 5 \Vinnetka and Skokie again will meet, this time at Winnetka. Mrs. E. }. Lundin, 922 Oakton avenue, and her son, Dick, returned a week ago after spending a fortnight with friends from Milwaukee at Found Lake, Sayner, Wis. Mr. and Mrs. Lundin, their daughter, Jane, and her cousin, Helen Fletcher, left on Tuesday for Benton Harbor, Mich. -o-M iss Harriet Hamm of Kenilworth was hostess at a luncheon and bridge at Indian Hill club Thursday of this week. · One by one Mr. Loesch and his aids are smoking out those of State's Attorney Crowe's official ·f amily who refuse help to punish the thugs accused of election frauds and political murder. This official list now includes five members of the County Board, M unicipal Court Bailiff Snow, Sheriff Graydon and Police Commissioner Hughes. Forced to a decision by Mr. Loesch, acting for the Crime Commission, six judges of the Superior and Circuit Courts, two of th~m public endorsers of the Crowe administration, refused to remove Judges E;Uer, Klarkowski and Kerner from the Criminal bench for reducing to jail sentences and parole numerous penitentiary offenses. While Judge Eller has asked for transfer to the Civil branch, by the decision of the judges he 17emains on the Criminal bench· until September. Under rule of court he now becomes the present acting chief justice .and has certain control of the investigation that involves indicted relatives and supporters of his father, boss of the Bloody Twentieth ward. Two of the indicted are accused of the murder of his father's opponent for ward committeeman. Judge Eller has enabled these men to be freed by reducing their bonds. · "The people elected me and I will ecide with reference to me," let them d. declared Judge Eller tast week from the bench. J udgc.; Eller was elected in 1923 by a vote of 203,348, being 18th on the list of 20 judges elected. One million voters did not vote for him or for any . one. The failure of the voter to ex- · press himself in judicial elections, is pointed out as the real cause of present bad political conditions. The bar passed upon the qualification of judges that year and out of a total vote of 2,547 lawyers Judge Eller received 281 votes, standing 37th in the list. In spite of the 'Bar's fight against the election of judges subservient to political influence, the bench has deteriorated of late years. In the June election, the Bar candidates, four men of public record and notably fit, received only 100,000 votes with over a miJlion not voting. Th~ opponents of the Bar candidates, two of them public endorsers of the Crowe regime, were elected. Mr. Loesch's exposures would indicate to the ordinary citizen that the bench, almost entirely dependent on the self-interested vote for support at the polls, has, with some notable t:x~epti.ons, become subservient to political t~fluence, and that it is largely responstble for crime conditions. The only way, apparently, to get the people to vote, is to make them mad, and the acts of these public officials are making them mad. Four carriers and one clerk at the Wilmette postoffic.e began their annual vacations of fifteen days Monday. Those who ~re on vacation are: John . Stefehs, George Stefens, John Schnutz, and Harold Cook, carriers, and Ernest Meyers, clerk. -0- 20% 'R EDUCTION On Our Entire Stock For a limited time we are ·offering our artistic lamps, shades, draperies, furniture, wrought iron, etc., at a ~o percent discount.
