RIVALS IN CLASH AT CHICAGO POLLS Primary Election Marked by Arrests of Workers and Kidnaping of Judges. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, _ February 22.—The climax in Chicago's ~most bitter mayoralty primary campalgn in years | was reached today when heavily| arded polls were thrown open to a | ay vote. h“;!geynmh-tpned trouble began with the opening of the polls and within | a short time half a dozen arrests had been made. Arms were found on the prisoners and police were informed . that weapons were being distributed AMUSEMENTS SHUBERT BELASCO—"The Heaven| Tappers. Lee Shubert, in ass Edwin Carewe, presents Tappers,” a new play in three acts,; v George Scarborough and Annette | tly has offered sev- ays dealing with moonshine mountain rce, but M. ugh and their evangelistic Heaven Tapp more than the usually allotted num- ber of villains and elements of right- eous revenge. The ill-gotten gains of the moun- taineers furnished the foundation for the ultimate salvation of their leader. thre itting machinations of ** trio masquerading as revivalist tunating the aut are d sincere in putting ac the religious theme in a melodran which depends somewhat unduly on blasphemy and gun toting, in creating | atmosphere. The idea that honesty is the best policy seeps into the | audience in the same length of time —three acts—that it takes to wheedle in several precincts. An hour after the polls opened at| 8 am. a police squad sped to the twenty-sixth ward and found that two | Democratic precinct judges had been | kidnaped. So intense was the feeling over the | battle of Republican factions for con- | trol of the city administration that a | ecial police detail of more than| X000 men was assigned to polling | places, with machinegun patrol of | more turbulent wards. Mayor Willlam E. Dever's re- nomination by the Democrats also was in the hands of the voters, but he was conceded an easy party victory, and the issue of the day was Edward R. Litsinger’s attempt to prevent a comeback by William Hale o (“Big Bill”) Thompson, the city’'s World ‘War mayor, in the Republican race. Supported by Deneen Forces. Litsinger had the support of the Re- publican forces behind Charles S. Deneen, United States Senator, but with Thompson stood his old ally, State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe, and the former mayor forecast at least 100,000 votes to spare in his favor. ‘With factional leaders thus arraved against each other, fuel was heaped on the fire by the vituperation and ex- | change of pithy personalities on the part of both Litsinger and Thompson, who swept from national issues to table manners in their appeals to vot- ers for the opportunity to run against the Democratic aspirant in the Aprid election. Complicating matters for peace au- thorities was the unusually large num- ber of voters brought out by the Na- tional holiday, and officlals took every precaution to quell any outbursts or gunplay such as featured the ballot- ing last Fall, when election officials were bodily carried off and thousands of names eventually were stricken from the books. Every Available Deputy on Duty. Every avallable detective was as signed to duty, and the cruising auto- mobiles were laden with a machine gun and a battery of sawed-off shot- guns each. Chief Justice Lindsay of the Supreme Court announced he ‘would be on the bench during the day to dispose of difficulties arising from possible arrests. County Judge Edmund K. Jareck! announced that all gunmen found around the polling places would be taken into his court. Jarecki, a Demo- | crat, last Fall defeated Joseph P. Sav- age, Republican, who was State’'s At- torney Crow's selection for county Ju A third figure in the day’s events, although his name was not on the bal- lots, was Dr. John Dill Robertson, who withdrew as a Republican primary candidate and placed himself in the April race by filing a_ petition of 43, :l“ names as candidate for the ple’s Ownership — Smash Crime Rings” party. AUTO VICTIM IMPROVES, Relative of Virginia Governor’s Wife Hurt in Crash. Beverly W. Wright, relative of Mrs. Harry F. Byrd, wife of the Governor of Virginia, today was reported out of danger and improving at George- town University Hospital, following an operation yesterday for injuries sustained in a_week end automobile accident near Fairfax, Va. Mr. Wright was rendered uncon- scious when the automobile in which he was motoring to Washington skid- ded and turned over. Ralph R. Rosen- gerger, operator of the machine, and Lawrence C. Hollis, another occupant, escaped with slight injuries, while Mr. Wright sustained fractures of the jaw, three broken ribs and a fractured shoulder bone. 3 Gov. and Mrs. Byrd visited Mr. ‘Wright in the hospital yesterday.

Delehanty received $134 for his work for Druggan, he said. During the questioning he gave a rambling dis- course on the Ku Kiux Klan, and said that articles to newspapers he had written concerning the Klan had led to the impression that he was insane. Delehanty sald he wrote to the mayor of Kansas City once asking that the latter aid him in obtaining a wife, and, when newspapers there printed his letter, he received 365 re- plies and finally picked one of the girls, who sent him $3,700 to estab- lish a cosmetic business, but, he said, she broke the engagement.
