Acted Like Madman “He acted like a madman,” Ruth Remus said, in telling of the shooting. “Mother and I left by the front way from the Alms Hotel and entered a taxicab. As the driver was taking us toward Eden Park I observed a big automobile with two men in it following us. As our car passed under the park bridge 1 noticed one of the men in the car trailing us was Mr. Remus. “Then I saw that the driver of the Remus car was trying to head us off. As our driver slowed up near the greenhouse Remus started to alight, but we kept on going until we reached the curve. There the driver of the other car cut us off and forced us to stop. Remus Jumps From Car “With his right hand in his pocket, Mr. Remus jumped out of his auto and ran toward our cab. “I started to get out, but mother pulled me back. Then she jumped out and ran up the road. “But he ran after her, calling her vile names, one after another. “He seized her by the arm, pulled her toward him and then shot her. “I grabbed Mr. Remus and held him. I said: ‘What is the matter with you, are you going insane?’ “Mr. Remus then got into his automobile and was driven away.” Did It as "Principle” Shortly after, Remus surrendered himself at police headquarters. He was collected in thought, but gave signs of repressed excitement when questioned by police. ‘[JUMPED’ IN PRISON: OF ALL THE‘DUMPS!’ “Minnesota St. Dumps” Alcohol “Dump” Puts Pair in “the Dumps.” Joseph Powell, 34. of 2218 Daisy St., and Lee Wemer, 34, 1521 Cruft St. f were found in unlovely territory known as the “Minnesota St. dumps” Wednesday afternoon by police, and now they are in “the dumps” worse than ever.

REMUS STRIFES CARRIED HERE IN BOOZE CASE Wife Fought Liquor Charge in U. S. Court; Husband on Other Side. On Dec. 17, 1925, Remus, wife of George Remus, millionaire bootlegger, flashily dressed and with a touch of superb hauteur, stood in a corridor at the Federal Bldg, and said: “Mr. Remus is bitterly angry at me; he now is seeking revenge.” And today came dispatches from Cincinnati, Ohio, which told of Remus shooting his wife and wounding her seriously before going into court for the hearing on the divorce suit brought by her. Her prediction has come true. She admitted when here for her own trial and that of thirty-two others for the alleged “milking” of the Jack Daniel distillery at St. Louis, Mo., of 890 barrels of whisky that she “was afraid of Remus.” She could not understand why she had been indicted while her husband had been untouched. He was the Government’s chief witness in the conspiracy trial. “I can not believe that the United States Government will punish a woman for her husband’s wrongdoings,” she declared. “George Remus is the arch conspirator in the case. To him belongs the plan, the plot, everything. “They say I drove liquor at night. I did drive all night with my child from St. Louis to Cincinnati, to get away from him.” Jealousy Is Shown Mr. and Mrs. Remus had no conversations in public whatsoever, while they were here for the trial. As the State’s chief witness, Remus was placed on the aggressive side of the court battle, while she, Hke the remaining defendants, was fighting against the charges. She was'freed. While investigation off the case and the trial was in process, there were rumors that Remus and his wife were having severe verbal battles over the fact that a former Federal official always was with her. Only once did this break forth. Remus followed the man from a downtown hotel and attacked him with a gold-headed cane. Remus was arrested by local police. Mrs. Remus declared she had left her husband, but while he was serving a twenty-one-month sentence in Atlanta prison she had “stuck with him.” Waited Till Term Ended “I didn’t file suit for divorce until he was ready to leave the prison,” she related. Remus did not have much to say about “Mrs. Remus,” as he called her. He did remark, though, that if he hadn’t trusted her and placed his finances in her care while he was in prison he would have been considerably • more wealthy. He told long stories of how interesting the bootleg game was* and how did it for “the money and the thrill.” He once was a lawyer, but went into the bootleg game for The excitement. Federal agents said he once had $22,000,000, that he lhade in the liquor business. After the trial was - completed here, Remus went to Chicago and attempted to start in the real estate business. After a short time, Federal officials began considering deportation of Remus. More than a year ago he began serving a year’s term in the Ghio State Prison at Troy, Ohio, for operation of Ohio’s largest bootlegging establishment —Death Valley farm, near Cincinnati.

This is what Fernandez, the famous beauty expert at the fashionable Savoy is telling his clients at present. - Bubble-blowing, he says is an alternate to the knife for freshening up the face lines of his tired beauties. In addition, according to Fernandez, bubble-blowing mak§ss the mind younger as well as the face. It is good for the throat muscles and tightens up loose muscles under the chin and around the throat. However for those whose beauty has faded beyond the possibility of restoration by the bubble method, the knife remains as the bqst substitute for recovering youth and London nuiLlng homes are being booked well ahead just now.

BATTLE RAGES ON WIDE FRONT TO WIN PEKIN Government Guard Passes Near Great Wall as Foe Approaches. BY WILLIAM R. KUHNS United Press Staff Correspondent PEKIN, Oct. 6 —Main bodies of northern and southern armies clashed today 150 miles west-south-west of Pekin, and it was understood a decisive battle was in progress that might seal the fate of the capital. The clash occurred near ChenTing, along the Peking-Hankow railway. About 40,000 men were engaged on each side. The rival armies were those of Fengtien and Shanshi provinces. Chang Tso-Lin, Manchurian war lord and veteran conservative leader, controls the Fengtien, the northern army. The Shanshi troops are part of the southern Nationalist force. City Slightly Panicky . . Pekin became slightly panicky a* news of the clash arrived. Guard* at the city gates were strengthened. The foreign office issued a statement to the foreign press, saying that Pekin was safe from national*, ist invasion. Chang Tso Lin. the statement said, had provided ample protection along three fronts protecting the city. The Shansi attacking forces ar* reported favorable to Feng Yuhsiang, so-called Christian nationalist general, sympathetic with Moscow. The drive began Sept. 30, about. 140 miles on the railway west of Pekin. Due to a flank movement by cavalry. Pekin troops fell back, abandoning ii. , ' ir an. 115 miles from Pekin. Tehy destroyed bridges beyond Kalgan to delay pursuit. Passes Are Protected The Pekin government is massing troops on a line immediately outside the Great Wall, fifty mills from Pekin, and are bringing Kn artillery on the mountains east of that point. The new line protects three passes through the mountains to the plain on which Pekin is situated. Military observers here believe the Shansi troops will require large reinforcement before they can force the important passes. On the Hankow railway to the south, which the Pekin government is trying to control for an attack against Feng Yu-Hsiang in Horten province, the Feklh troops ha'’C fallen back five miles to a point north of Chengting. This line is 160 miles south of Pekin, and probably is better suited for defense for the purposes of the Pekin forces.
