FRANCE STORES HUGE MASS OF GOLD IN CAVES Vast Fortune Is Protected by Every Known Modern Safety Device. *V\RIS r july 16.—With nearly two billion dollars’ worth of bullion stored In its safety vaults, the Bank of France has been obliged to hire special guards for the gold and to dig caves and sub-caves filled with modern contrivances to keep burglars out. With the second largest gold collection in the world, France now has 44.004.890.329 francs worth of shiny metals in its coffers. Anticipating the turning of the gold tide away from America toward France, the Bank of France started building soon after the war on a large scale. The gold accommodations are five times greater than France now requires, and there is room in the bank for twice the total amount of gold In Europe today. The gold board is a skyscraper underground. There are innumerable caves, one under the or.her. all built in reinforced concrete and steel, like a war-time dugout. There are water-pits and alarm bells, electrically charged floors and walls so smooth that fingers are allowed no hold. There is piping to carry tear-gas and other lethal mixtures or to flood the strongrooms with boiling water and steam, in case a burglar breaks in. French financiers are not worrying so much about the gold that already is in the stronghold as they are perturbed bv the possibility of a world gold famine within another twenty years, unless production increases.

RRUNSIQGE AN9 FOSTER ON WAY TO FACE JURY Chicago Hopes Reporter and Gangster May Unravel Alliance Rumors. flu T'nitcd Previ CHICAGO, July 16—Two men, a reporter, the other a gangster, each expected to aid in solution of the Alfred Lingle murder and the untangling of newspaper-politico-gangiand alliance rumors, were speeding toward Chicago today from the far corners of the hemisphere. The Los Angeles jail cell that held Frankie Foster, the gangster, was empty and officials intimated Foster was in custody of Chicago detectives, on route to this city. He is under indictment here in connection with the Lingle murder. Foster lost his nght against extradition Tuesday, was returned to his cell, and during the night was removed. No route or time of departure was announced for fear rival gangsters would try to kill Foster before he could testify. He was under heavy guard. Brundidge on His Way From distant Cuba, Harry T. Brundidge, reporter for the St. Louis Star, was reported on his way to explain to the Cook county grand jury his published charges that other Chicago newspaper men besides Lingle were engaged in racketeering and had reaped huge profits from gangland just as aid the slain Tribune employe. By learning these things the jury hopes to establish a definite motive for Lingle’s murder. Foster, never suspected of actually killing Lingle, but who is said to have once owned the gun with which the reporter was shot, lost his battle against extradition after two hotel employes testified that he had been in Chicago on June 9, the day of the murder. Invited by Grand Jury Brundidge was coming here at the invitation of the grand jury, which was ordered by Chief Justice Denis J. Normoyle of criminal court to take complete charge of the Lingle investigation after State’s Attorney John A. Swanson had refused to let Brundidge testify unless the reporter would submit to preliminary questioning. The jury wants him to tell to whom he referred as the newspaper man who “went south” with $50,000 obtained through a lottery, who the reported was who made 5 cents a bag for each sack of cement used by the city, and who was the

editor net allowed to pay for drinks in speakeasies and night clubs. The Tribune Tuesday named Harry Read, city editor of ning American, as the man Brundidge had referred to as being a friend of “Scarface Al” Capone, notorious gang chieftain. The American answered this by saying it was true Read had visited with Capone in Florida and had been with him when Capone was questioned by Cuban authorities, but said Read was on legitimate business for his paper and had published stories about Capone after the visit. The Herald-Examiner's banner story today was interpreted as a challenge to the grand jury to call other witnesses than Brundidge in the Lnigle case.

GHURGHJUMPS ON PROHIBITION Expresses Views of Few, Says Lutheran Synod. Du United Prc** CLEVELAND, July 16.—Annual convention of the Lutheran International Walther League had before it today an official statement from the clergy of the Lutheran Synodical church attacking prohibition. The statement, delivered to the convention Tuesday night by the Rev. Harry Weidner of Bedford, 0., official representative of the clergy, said: “We fee 1 that the prohibition law expresses the religious sentiment of a few churches who consider it their duty to tell others not affiliated with them how they must live. “The Lutheran church does not want to force its views through the state, upoc. any one. It does not deny the nght of an individual to

The Lutheran church and its Walther League do believe in strict control of the liquor traffic, but through the state, not the church."
