Campaign fund claims mirror earlier bogus inspectors tale
A report ties a person who collected campaign contributions for Busse to funds for himself and references prior cases involving Ryan and Burns. The Chicago Record Herald recounted a hold up claim by a so called Smoke Inspector J P Ryan and a check endorsed by J J Burns cashed in a La Salle street saloon. H Woodhouse said he was asked to place a $200 ad for a smoke device claiming alderman backing. President Peet of a Sanitary Laundry described turning over campaign funds to two bogus inspectors.
