City Woman Hauls in Prize Catch; Practiced Casting on Back Porch. Trained fishermen make their casts cautiously and wait patiently for a “break." Mrs. H. W. Armstrong, 1921 North La Safe street, was too nervous to take su:h precaution when she made her first catch, but she got a “big break,” just the same. That she held the pole a bit gingerly and threw her line with the excitement of a beginner didn’t seem to make any difference to Mr. Bars so he started to play with the creek chug minnow and lost. This is the way Mrs. Armstrong went fishing lat Bethany park, near Brooklyn, Ind., with her husband, seeking his advice, but came home with a bass weighing five pounds and two ounces and telling her spese “how it is done.” The old adage that one should learn to swim before going near the water might be applied to her fishing. For she practiced casting on the back porch at home before she attempted the real thing. “It’s a great thrill to play with a bass as la-ge as this on the first trip,” said Mrs. Armstrong. Her’s is one of the prize catches of the year. It measured 22!g inches in length.

He is a member of the executive committee, which controls all state and national activities of the organization. He is chairman of the legislative committee, which directs the powerful lobby in Washington. He holds a dozen other jobs in the league and inter-allied or subsidized organizations. It has been suggested cruelly that the good bishop, in spite of the multiplicity of his divine duties, found time to speculate on marginal stock in Wall Street, but undoubtedly that accusation must be a diabolical invention of Satan. nan THEN he chose Sebastian S. Kresge, king of the fives and tens, as the chief apostle. I want, a little further on, to tell Dr. Russell’s own story of how he and Apostle Kresge simply scared the wits out of congress and forced it to submit the eighteenth amendment. Among the other apostles, may be noted: James A. White of Ohio, who invented the pocket-emptying slogan: “No money is tainted if the AntiSaloon League can get its hands on it.” William H.

LIN6LE SLAYING TRAIL POINTS TO MORAN GANG Hunted Suspect Branded ‘Potential Murderer’ by Judge. Bu United Press CHICAGO, June 23.—Combined agencies of law enforcement hunted a suspect, today in the assassination of Alfred J. .Lingle, Chicago Tribune reporter, on trails that led toward the powerful liquor gang of George (Bugs) Moran and Joe Aiello, of the “Big Four” in Chicago racketeering. The suspect hunted was James “Red” Forsythe, henchman of the northside gang leaders and branded a “potential murderer” by a circuit judge. Forsythe’s name, as the central figure of the investigation, was given out by the “clearing house” of agencies delving into the murder. While convinced that Forsythe was the actual murderer of the reporter, the authorities seemed hesitant about advancing a motive. Reports that Lingle had refused to as’k favors from a former police administration for the Moran gang

PAGE 3

were discounted by the authorities as a motive. The trail that led to Forythe digressed by the way of Frink Foster, tight-lipped gangster who deserted the Morans to throw his fortunes with the gangsters headed by A1 (Scarface) Capone. The snub-nosed pistol with which Lingle was shot was traced to Foster. Police surmised that perhaps Foster left the gun with the Morons when he deserted. The murderer used it and threw it down in the subway to cast suspicion toward the Capone mob. Two others, Simon Gorman and Frank Noonan, who were arrested last year with Forsythe, also were sought.
