Thompson Threatened as Result
' R 4 '
of Disclosures in ““Petticoat
Graft Scandal” Probe.
~{By International News Service.)
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—A squad of
picked detectives was assigned to
guard William Hale Thompson to
day, following threats against him,
the outgrowth of the “petticoat graft
scandal,” which is shaking the City
Hall. Police Chief Healey refused to
divulge the exact nature of the
threats, but he said he considered
them serious enough to require a
Buard of six detectives and two mo
torcycle men to accompany the
Mayor,
The “graft scandal” investigation
by the City Civil Service Commis
sion was expected to end to-day with
the conclusion of the testimony of
Mrs. Page Waller Eaton and the tes
timony in her own defense of Mrs.
Louise Osborne Rowe. It was pre
dicted to-day tHat Mrs. Rowe will
lose her position as head of the City
Welfare Department as the result of
the split sslary and padded pay roll
sharges brought by Mrs. Eaton.
A secret meeting of a number of
Aldermen, considering the “petticoat
graft” sftuation, was reported to have
decided to abolish Mrs. Rowe's de
partment as a solution of the trouble
that has been caused by she graft
charges. -
There was an ‘inclination on the
part of both sides in the salary split
dispute to put the soft pedal on the
scandal to-day. The Civil Service
Commission, which is composed of
appointees of Mayor Thompson, ap
parently was anxious to close its in
qQuiry as quickly as possible to end
the unfavorable publicity the May
or's administration is receiving.

the submarine situation. Both sides‘w
were playing a waiting gamg. Curi
ously enough, each assigned the same
reason for {t.
The President has appealed to the
country through his letter to Sena
tor Stone. The advodates of legisla
tion to keep Americans off armed
ships have staked their case upon the
original Stone letter Which forced the
executive to define his position. Both,
as a result, were content to remain
quiet to-day so that the other “could
hear from the people” in the interval
over Sunday.
Although it was expected that in
both the Senate and the House ef
forts might be made to get consider
ation of the proposed legislation in
some of its phases, the leaders were
in complete control and ready to pre
vent any radical action.
Subject for Long Debate.
Meanwhile it seems certain that the
question of what/ constitutes an
armed merchantman carrying guns
for defensive purposes and s 6 entitled
to warning when stopped by a sub
marine, and under just what circum
stances of this character become na
val auxiliaries and fair prey for the
U-boat, will be a subjeet of pro
longed debate between Germany and
the United States.
Secretary Lansing stated that there
will be no effort made to prevent
Germany setting forth fully its views
on the subject. It is accepted that
If an agreement can thus be reached
the situation will materially improve,
The German reply asking this Gov
ernment’s views on the subject is ex
pected to be presented to Mr. Lan
sing by Count von Bernstorff on Mon
day morning. In anticipation of the
questions that are to be raised the
Secretary-js understood to have pre
pared an opinion. This, however, is
not likely to be communicated to the
German Ambassador until after the
German claims dealing with the al
leged secret British Admiralty orders
reaches the Secretary and are thor
oughly examined.
. Officials Not Concerned.
Although no official announcement
of the postponement of the proposed
submarine campalgn against mer
chant vessels carrying guns has yet
reached the State Department, offi
cials were not concerned to-day. They
feel satisfied there will be no subma
rine activity until the questions now
at issue between Germany and the
United States definitely are disposed
of. ’
It is pointed out that an official
postponement at this time might be
serlously criticised throughout Ger
‘many, while, on the other hand, a
Suggestion that weather conditions
‘be permitted to operate to keep the
underseas craft in port.could hardly
\be resented. And it would. have the
’same effect, officials here point out.

The Career of Katherine Bush
| The new love story by |
Elinor Glyn
“Three Weeks” hadn’ been out a month when
the whole world sat up and rubbed its eyes and gasped !
Here was a story of the love of a woman that dif
fered from all other love stories—because it told the
whole truth,
And told it literally. :
When the world reads "“The Career of K atherine
:sh,” the new story by Elinor Glyn, who wrote
Three Weeks "—it will gasp again. For in the
story of this girl-weman you are reading what might
have happened to you.
Except —that you might not have run away to
Panis with Lord Algy (as she did) unless he had been
your husband.
Or—you might have married him afterwards when
he begged you to (as she did not).
Very probably you would have thought it alto
gether a biggish price to pay —just to learn how the
upper-upper classes in England eat oysters, and that
they take a bath every day.
Maybe you are so sure she was wrong to have
gone at all that you think the whole episode was a
ghastly, tragic mistake.
Most people do think so.
Katherine thought it a step.
But there are those who believe the moral tone of
England is partly to blame for much that is happen
ing there today — as the morals of Rome ruined an
empire centuries ago. :
If you dare to look life in the face as it is, you will
be glad you read ‘“The Career of Katherine Bush’’—
And—
The story starts being a story from the very first
word —
So get the first instalment today—
It begins in the March
