Water Poisoning Plot Described as Harebrained Scheme
Chicago water and sewage commissioner James J. Jardine said an alleged plan to poison the city water supply was a harebrained scheme that could not have worked. Two Evanston and Chicago students, Steve Pera and Allan Schwander, were held on 250000 bond each after police arrested them at Schwander's apartment. State's Attorney Edward V. Hanrahan said the group named RISE planned to inoculate members against typhoid to form a new master race and a typhoid culture was found in their Mayfair City College lab.
