SHOCKING
CONDITIONS
IN CHICAGO
CHICAGO, Jan. 19.—Charged wit!
being the invisible czar of a graft
squad which systematically combec
the dives and brothels of the under
world for weekly tribute, Police Chiei
Charles C. Healey was to appear in
municipal court for preliminary hear
ing here today.
On the heels of Healy’s arrest on a
warrant sworn out by State’s Attor
ney Maclay Hoyne ten days ago came
revelations of Healey’s alleged system
of police graft rivaling disclosures oi
poilce rottenness in New York aftei
the murder of Herman Rosenthal by
Lieutenant Becker’s gunmen.
Hoyne, who campaigned and was
elected on a “clean up the police”
platform, and who has waged bittei
and relentless war on Healey ever
since, charges that Healey, with the
aid of police sergeants and lieuten
ants and underworld gangsters, has
operated with a mapped and card-in
dexed record of brothels, dives, sa
loons and fly-by-night hotel thieves,
gamblers and other crooks, and his
income from his “business,” which
Hoyne says was run on a strictly ef
ficiency basis, has been not less than
$20,000 a year.
In the spectacular midnight catch
in Hoyne’s carefully cast net there
were brought to the surface of Tues
day morning’s daylight, in addition
to Chief Healey:
Tom Costello, alleged to be the man
behind the police chief and himself an
ative collector of bribes and graft;
William A. (Billy) Skidmore, called
the King of the West Side Levee;
“Mike the Pike” Heitler, who for
years has been levee king and said
to operate a string of gambling joints
and brothels;
Lieutenant Martin White, command
er of the Lake street station. Also
since arrested or to be arrested .
Lieutenants Edward Grady of the
West Side 13th street station, Lieu
tenant John Hartford, North Halstead
street station and Sergeant John
Naughton, Healey’s confidential secre
tary.
All the warrants charge conspiracy
to commit extortion, bribery, and to
open disorderly houses and gambling
houses.
This clique, according to Hoyne,
made a business of once a week col
lecting bribes from brothels, thieves,
gambling men and other crooks,
amounting to $1,000 a week; also from
saloonkeepers for not interfering with
illegal liquor sales; also from police
men desiring promotion to captain
cies; also from property owners desir
ing tax reductions.
Hoyne charged police officers who
objected to the system were intimi
dated by being transferred from their
home sections to undesirable precincts
far out in the suburbs.
Hoyne also charged the clique plan
ned a trust to control all prison con
tracts at Joliet in the event Healey
were appointed warden.
Hoyne chose the psychological mo
ment to trap his men. Regular col
| lections were made, he said, Saturdays
and Sundays and on Monday nights
the spoils would be divided.
It was Monday night, Jan. 8, when
Costello, Heitler and Skidmore were
arrested in a raid by Hoyne’s men on
Costello’s office while the three were
engaged, Hoyne says, in dividing $1,
000 in bills on the table before them.
Several of these bills, Hoyne says,
were marked afnd traced “from the
brothels from which they were ex
torted, to the table before the trio.”
Hoyne also claims he has evidence
showing that Costello has more than
once been trailed to Healey’s home.
A book taken from Lieutenant
White, who was arrested at the table
with Costello, Heitler and Skidmore
listed practically every resort in Chi
cago under the headings: "Can’t be
raided.” "Can be raided.” “Find out'
“Chief’s places.” Hotels were listed:
“Three ways." “Can be raided."
TO JOIN VERNON
CASTLE IN THE
AERIAL CORPS
LONDON, Jan. 23.—Robert A.
Bowlby, American, whose dancing
evoked a thousand variations of
“ain’t he graceful” front Broadway to
Portland Ore., may join Vernon Castle
in the clouds before winter is over.
The former star of stage and ball
room is now a lieutenant in the Cana
dian forces, camped in England await
ing sterner activities. Bowlby hopes
to become an airman.
After months of mud-wading in
camp, Bowlby was discovered in Lon
don, eagerly watching the afternoon
dancers at one of the leading hotels.
He seemed glad to be back in "the
life” again if only for the short dura
tion of his leave.
“It seems like Broadway in the days
when dancing was ‘it’,” he said remi
niscently. “These couples don’t ap
pear as enthusiastic as Americans and
though it may be just the European
way, I’m wondering if the craze isn’t
fading.
uivaiiu^ wm nanny taite me same
hold that dancing did, in America. In
door ice is too expensive and people
aren’t likely to learn skating as they
did dancing. Maybe they will go in
for aviation.”
The (lance craze caught Bowlby
about the time the Castles, Vernon and
Irene, reached the top of their fame.
Joining the tango peer’s company he
speedily foxtrotted his way to the top
of the new profession.
Little more than a year ago he was
in charge of the catering and enter
tainments in a Canadian system of
railroad-owned hotels. Calgary, Van
couver, Victoria and Winnipeg were
Bowlby’s towns and thousands of Ca
nadians. stepped the new measures
while he conducted affairs.
Canadians were enlisting every day.
Bowlby’s friends melted from sight as
the transports carried new contingents
over soae. He is over six feet tall,
athletic and a football veteran of Con
necticut Wesleyan, at Middletown,
Conn. Civilian clothes were becoming
out of fashion, so Bowlby joined at
Winnipeg.
Aviation will be another experience
in a varied career when Bowlby takes
to the air. He ranched near Missou
la, Mont., and knows the range as well
as the stage.
If he comes back from France when
it’s all over he hopes to be there when
his old frat, Beta Theta Pi comes to
gether for the yearly reunion.
