BSpringfield, I!1., Nov. 22.--Goverhor Len Smail is marshaling all his polit-- ical and legal forces for another great battle. SMALL TRAINS HIS GUNS FOR BIG -- FIGHT IN SUIT After what transpired in Judge Frank W. Burton's court yesterday, he and his advisers are convinced that another fierce drive against him has been launched. Foes Sought to Get Judge to Rule Before Election but He Saw Thru "Plot." So the Smaill generals, who have mever yet sounded a retreat, are pre-- paring again for warfare, preparing to meet the interest--accounting issue which will be forced against them in Judge Burton's court a week from Monday, preparing to withstand a cer-- tain onslaught in the Legislature--an enslaught which might go to the ex-- tent of an attempt to withhold from the governor his certificate of re--elec-- They and all the state politicians here are making excited comments about the startling revelations that Judge Burton made from the bench. It was just a glimpse that the jurist gave of the political background to the ease before him. In calm, judiciai ianguage the jurist stated that Charles G. Briggle, his own master in chancery, who pre-- pared the interestaccounting nponi against the governor, and assistant attorney generals who have boen' prosecuting and persecuting Governor Smail for three years, came to hlm' just before election with a polltlenll proposition in connection with this tremendously important case. Theyi wanted, just before election, the enter-- ing of an order for the presentation of | the master's report condemning. the governor. go t e { If Judge Burton had granted this amazing request, at a time when there eould have been no possible opportun-- ity before election day for a judicial answer or determination, he, in his ewn words, would have been "a hell ef a judge; a politician, not a judge." The judge scorned' the proposition of permitting the master's report, which he had never seen, to be thrown into the political arena against Gover-- mor Smail. s * Judge Burton, whose gravely accus-- ing statement met with no denial, is mo ally of Governor Smail. He is a Democrat, the governor is a Repub-- MHcan. In his own words, he is "a friends and an associate" of Judge Norman L. Jones, the Democratic gub-- ernatorial -- candidate, :zo launched schathing attacks againkt Governor Small in the recent campaign. And Judge Burton dramatically de mried forceful and seemingly logic pleas on the part of Governor Small's rew legal counsel for delay, for suffi-- cient time to enable the lawyers to get some line on the mass of testi-- mony and the "ten bushels of exhibits, which no man could read in a year's .me.n © Patrick H. O'Donnell, Senator John Dailey of Peoria and Chester E. Cleve-- land were the lawyers who came into sourt for the first time to re--enforce young Werner Schroeder, the gover-- por's protege, who alone for months had been holding the legal line against from four to ten assistant attorney generals, so that his benefactor might not be impoverished by the payment of huge legal fees in the long--drawn out litigation. Follow Brundage's Order. But, cold and uncompromising, car-- rying out Attorney General Brundage's orders, Assistant Attorney Generals C. W. Hadley, C. N. Boord, Ashton Camp-- bell and Floyd Britton pressed their demand after the judge had decided with them on technical motions that Governor Smaill be forced next Mon-- day to answer and enter exceptions to the voluminous report of Master Brig-- gle, with its drayload of exhibits "dumped into court." O It was only when Attorney O'Don-- mell pleaded the softening argument of Thanksgiving week that the judge relented a bit and postponed the be-- ginning of the argument from Monday until a week from Monday. If rumor is to be believed, a finding in the court of Circuit Judge Burton,. indicating that the governor owed the state money, would be used as a leg-- fjslative excuse for holding up Gover-- mor Smail's certificate of re--election-- voted by a 500,000 popular majority November 4--as Governor Deneen's eertificate of election was held up in the famous Deneen--HStevenson guber-- natorial election contest of 1908. _ Rumor, folowing on the heel of ru-- mor, tells of a bi--partisan Brundage-- Brennan combination to attempt to or-- ganize the lower house at least against Governor Smail and hold up his cer-- tifcate of re--election. -- Imvyid E. Shana han presumably would be the candidate for apeaker of Judge Tells of "Plot."

The respectable resi-- dents of that community are demand-- ing that some action be taken to put an end to the almost nightly orgies that are taking place along the high-- way. Rumors of vavious kin's of 'awle=-- ness are rampant in the community. One of these rumors declares that armed thugs are constantly at one of the taverns to hustle on any who may be 'unwelcome' for one reason or another. ONE MAN BLACKJACKED One well established report declar-- ed that a man had been blackjacked when he entered one of the taverns several nights ago in order to take a friend of his from the bar. The friend, it is said, was partly intoxi-- cated and the man, who was attack-- ed, desired to get him out of the tavern before he got into any trou-- ble. It is claimed that one of the "regu-- lars" around the tavern, drew a backjack and struck the man over the head and then drawing a gun or-- dered him out of the place. This af-- fair, it is said, has been reported to oficials. Another rumor tells how a group ; of Hallowe'sen euests halted at one of | the taverns. One of the party was : dressed as a wild west cowboy and j in keeping with the costume had Ja | holster and unloaded revolver. This | was the cause for a scene when he , entered the tavern as one of the so-- | calted "housemen" rushed him for the gun and refused to return it. 8SEE LIQUOR UNLOADED | Another rumor. which could not be-- entirely substantiated, declared that It was almost a nightly occurrence to a drink of milk., see lquor delivered under cover o(' Df.

DISCOVER TWO LEPROSY CASES _ IN NO. CHICAGO Two Children of J. Barrentos Wiill Be Removed to the U. S. Leper Colony. ] Leeo Warren was among the Libor-- , 'tyville fans who attended the radio show in Chicago last week. Leprosy, . the dread disease af bib-- lical days, has made its appearance in North Chicago. Dr. S. S. Winner--of the state de partment of Health, accompanied by Dr. J. L. Miller, city physician of North Chicago, discovered two cases of the disease in the home of J. Bar-- Father of --the two boys, together with.another son. aged 24, and a daughter, aged 12%, 'have been remov-- ed from the home, leaving the mother to care for the children until they are removed. The Barrentos famfily came to North Chicago from Mexico about two years ago. . --~~tos, 2032 Grove avenue. Two of the Barrentos boys, Augustine, aged 16. and Zecas, aged 8, were found to have leprosy in advanced stages. According to Dr. Winner the two children have been suffering of the disease for several years. When all remedies failed to give them any re-- lief the parents took the two children to Chicago a fow days ago and con-- sulted a physician. The latter at once diagnosed the disease as lep-- rosy and immediately reported the matter to the state department of public health with the result that Dr. Winnef hurried to North Chicago to confirm the diagnosis. _ Barrentos and the older son are employed in a North Chicago factory. There is no cause for undue alarm, according to Dr. Winner, who says that leprosy is not as contagilous as the average person thinks it is. In fact It usually is necessary, he says, for one to live with a low§y patient for some time in order to contract the disease. es In the first stages of the disease he says cures often are effected. In the case of the Barrentos children, how-- ever, he sees little hope because the diseasa has reached such an adnpo ed stage. Lk iCs _ After the two patients have been removed the house will be fumigated -- ~4 the members of the family will be allowed to come and go as they wish. -- They will be obliged however, to make frequent reports to the health authorities for a number of years to make sure that they have not contracted the dissase,. TANCL RAN THE BOHEMIAN CLUB AT FOX LAKE FOR YRS. Lake county people were more interested than the average com-- munity in the shooting of Eddie Tancl in Cftero, Chicago. Sunday morning, because it develops Tanc! was the owner and operator of what is known as the Bohemian club out at Fox Lake. T bis resort for a long time was watched by <the au-- thorities especially following the dis covery of a dead man not very far from the club house some munths ago. Chicago Gunman Slain Sunday in His Inn in Cicero; Well Known in Western Lake Co. The Bohemian club, according to a report has been one of the wild places in the Fox Lake territory and Tancl is said to have owned and operated it for yeare. Tancl, rec-- ognized as one of the most conspic-- uous gunmen in Chicago, met his death at the hands of acquaintances with whom he had been dining i his --ow cafe in Cicero. "Get James Doherty'" was the word to police as a coromner's jury, the same that is probing the O'Banion illing, convened for an inquest into Tancl's death. y 4 oDherty, police say, fired at least part of the shots that killed Tancl after be and Myles O'Donnell had sat drinking with Tanc! for hours Chicago, Nov. 24.--The maze of suspicion and -- hatred for power which is Chicago's underworld was seething again today as four " ply drivés against Johnnie Torrio, Louis Alterie, "Scarface Al" Brown, alias Tony Capone, and the vice and booze rings which they are alleged to con-- trol, were started by police seeking to solve the murder of Eddie Tanci in his Hawthorne Park inn yester-- day. ; As the investigation started, there was an effort to show it a killing of revenge--gangland's first deliber-- ate effort to balance the scales for the slayt 'of Dean O'Banion re-- cently vidence gleaned from whsperin criminal bhaunts indi-- cated the bullets had served to er-- move an obstacle, in the path of vice--supremacy in Cicero,--a Chicago suburb. -- in his cafe waiting all night ror] an excuse to begin the fatal battie.

The first shots are believed to have wounded Tanc! mortally, but, dying, he seized the gun offered by his 'bartender and fired repeatedly at his assailants, leaving O'Donnell crit-- ically wounded. The killing, police say, followed a long and bitter battle against Tancl, ex--pugilist and . reputed" . square shooter' 'of the underworld. Tanel was, the first to invade Cicero for liquor dispensing purposes and he is said to hbhave resented the dom-- ineering tactics of the Torrio--Capone element, (who followed him to. the suburb whére it is alleged Volstead-- ian regulations hold no sway. When rival cabarets opened by members of the opposing faction failed to drive him out of business, police believe the gangsters resorted to their ultimate court--the automatic.
