Chicago, February 6. Adam Worth alias Henry J. Raymond, famed as the Napoleon of Crime, has died in London.

The painting was carried to Paris and hidden aboard a steam yacht before ending its long concealment in Chicago. William A.

Roosevelt Faces Hard Fight Over Paid Lobbying Suspicions
The piece argues that hidden influence funds and paid attorneys manipulate legislation on salaries and supports in government. It cites past increases for printers at the government printing office and a $25,000 fee paid to a former congressman for pushing restoration of those salaries, noting workers felt gulled yet pleased by the outcome. It suggests President Roosevelt will confront a powerful, possibly entrenched lobby system and that some families live in luxury by exerting such influence.
