Nine Police Detectives Are Indicted
for Taking Graft Money and
Protecting Crime.
CHICAGO, Dec. 5.—Nine detectives
of the Chicago police force were in
dicted today charged with graft. The
district attorney secured the evidence
after Barney Bertsche, a boss of the
underworld of Chicago, had testified
that he paid $1,000 each month to
the police to be allowed to have a
clairvoyant monopoly. He reaped
thousands of dollars each month from
the easy marks who wanted to have
the future read.
Detectives attempted to kill Barney
Bertsche in order to prevent his tell
ing the district attorney of the graft.
They were prevented, however, by
special guards provided by the district
attorney from his own force of detect
ives. The police wished to get rid of
the boss clairvoyant because he knew
too much.

Chicago Lawyer Once Committed
Crime Is Exposed After 20 Years
—Had Redeemed Past.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—Carleton Hud
son, a wealthy attorney of this city,
was arrested today charged with hav
ing jumped a bail bond 20 years ago
in New York City when he was held
charged with forgery. The identifi
cation was made by a church member
who knew Hudson in New York when
he was arrested.
Much discussion has resulted here,
especially among prison reformers, as
to the advisability of having a man
arrested who after 20 years of clean,
honest living can be called to ac
count for a crime committed in his
earlier days and which he has lived
down by honest living. Hudson has
practiced law for 18 years in this city.
He has amassed a fortune. His spec
ialty was corporation law, but some
times his friends would be surprised
to find him defending a poor unfor
tunate charged with crime and unable
to secure an attorney.
The possibility of a conviction is
not considered by the church mem
ber who caused the arrest as the wit
nesses have all disappeared and even
if Hudson had been guilty the evi
dence is gone His exposure, how
ever, will ruin his life in this city,
besides prison reformers claim that
it will be hard for a criminal to be
lieve that it is worth while to lead
an honest life, as society seems de
termined to keep down all who at one
time committed a crime or are even
suspected of crime. The 20 years of
clean, honest living, his aid to many
unfortunates are all forgotten in the
eyes of society and today he stands
branded as a criminal.
SUEZ CANAL IS
INJO DANGER
CAIRO, 111., Dec. 5.—The Suez ca
nal is in danger from an attack by
the Arabs. The first danger has pass
ed. The canal guards were hard
pressed until the arrival of the Ca
nadian troops, but the Indians and
Australians now coming up the Red
Sea will soon be able to take the of
fensive against the Arabs and will
drive them back. The reports from
Turkey indicate that the Russians are
constantly beating back the Turks in
Armenia and are winning victories
which will force the Sultan to send
reinforcements to the east.
TENINO FIELDS
BE INVESTIGATED
SEATTLE, Dec. 5.—George Evans,
who tested the Matanuska coal for
the United States government, has
been sent by the federal Department
of Mines to'investigate and report up
on the oil fields at Tenino. Scores
of oil companies have been organized
rnd are selling stock to the people.
The government wishes to know the
extent of the field and the sending
of Evans is the first step taken to
investigate the fields.
