That is where a municipal organization such as this can perform its greatest service—in an industrial survey showing where work is most likely to be found, how many and when the jobs are available, and what classes of work are hardest hit by the current depression.” Rybicki talked in a bare little office on the second floor of an out factory building where the bureau is housed. Outside, a long railing and a cordon of police separated his registration workers from the milling army of defeat. Thousands of other jobless persons, forcibly restrained from the building entrance, formed a queue that extended four-deep down and around the corner.

Dies for Honor Gives Up Life to Protect Neighbors’ Savings in His Safe.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—Antone Anlecki, bartender, gave his life today because he valued it less than he did his reputation for honesty. Anlecki, 42, a bachelor, for years has operated a soft drink parlor in a Polish neighborhood. He had a large safe. Many of his neighbors did all their “banking” with him. He guarded their money and trusted them as they trusted him. He even permitted them to arrange their own valuables in the “bank.” Last year two bandits atttacked the bartender. They knew, as every one else in the neighborhood, the money was there and they tortured him for hours, beat him with clubs and burned him with hot irons, but he would not open the safe. His own money he gave to them, but not a penny of his neighbors’ was lost. Early today Anlecki was awakened by a noise near the safe. He arose, procured a revolver, crept into the front room, saw an intruder and fired. Flashes of fire cut back and forth across the darkened room as he fought the intruder. Anlecki fell. The burglar stumbled from the room, wounded. Police followed a trail of blood to the home of Frank Kulka, who recently completed a five-year sentence at Pontiac (Mich.) prison, where he was sent for robbery. Kulka had been shot. Anlecki was taken to a hospital. He died a few hours later. NIGHTTESTSOF AUTOSSLATED Safety Lane to Be Open for Business Men.

CDPS BELIEVE ZUTA JEWEL KEYSFOUND Raid on Aiello .Brothers’ Home May Reveal Hidden Cache. Bn United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—Keys, which it was believed might open Jack Zuta's treasury trunks and reveal just which of Chicago’s officials had delved therein, were in possession today of Pat Roche, veteran campaigner against crime. Roche, chief investigator for John A. Swanson State’s attorney, and a member of the special board of strategy investigating the murder of Zuta and Alfred Lingle, found the keys in a raid on the home of Joe and Dominick Aiello, leaders in the now almost extinct Moran-Aiello-Zuta northside gang combine. Since Zuta was slain in a Wisconsin summer resort hotel, several theories have become accepted as facts by Roche, who as policeman, detective and special investigator has been feared by gangland for years. Boosted Meager Salary One thing of which Roche and other members of the board were convinced was that it was Zuta, the methodical bookkeeping gangster, who engineered the murder of Lingle, a Tribune reporter who turned racketeer and boosted his $65 a week salary to a $60,000 a year income. Zuta, they are convinced, was killed by his own gangsters, who knew his reputation as a “talker” and feared he would tell police about the Lingle slaying. High Officials Named Three secret vaults were discovered where Roche and his assistants found canceled notes, checks and other papers which they announced linked definitely the names of many officials with gangland activities. Some of these names were disclosed. They included judge, policemen, state representatives and senators and a suburban police chief who wrote to Zuta asking for money and signed himself ; your old pal, Bill Freeman.” No keys to treasure trunks were found among Zuta’s possessions and Roche believed the gangster might have turned them over to the Aiellos before he fled from the city. Whether the keys found in the raid of the Aiello home were the ones he sought, Roche could not tell, but he considered it likely and redoubled his efforts to locate the treasure chests themselves.

AIMEE’S ALLY ENTERS FEUD; FLAYSMOTHER Aid Declares Mrs. Kennedy Was Not Punched on the Nose. ADMITS ’BIG ARGUMENT Death Threat Is Laid to Evangelist as Verbal War Continues. B ?/ f nitrd f’rcstt LOS ANGELES. Aug. 21.—The revived feud of Aimee Semple McPherson and her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, attracted a third combatant today. Mae Waldron, close associate and coworker of the evangelist at Angelus temple, entered the battle on | Mrs. McPherson’s side when Mrs. i Kennedy declared she was the cause of all the recent trouble and hard feeling. It v’as Miss Waldron, said Mrs. Kennedy, who was responsible for separating the mother and daughter and who circulated exaggerated reports of the evangelist’s illness. “If it wasn't for her, I wouldn’t have had my nose broken and my daughter and I would be good friends and everything would be all right,” declared Mrs. Kennedy. “She’s at the bottom of all the trouble.” Miss Waldron retaliated with a general denial of this statement and added that she once had to lock Mrs. Kennedy in a closet because “she talked so much.’” Warned by Thysicians While the battle raged between Miss Waldron and Mrs. Kennedy, the evangelist herself was at her Malibu beach cottage recovering from a nervous breakdown and preparing for a possible appearance on the platform of her Four-Square Gospel church, Sunday. Her physicians have warned her she must not become excited if she is to recover quickly from her nervous collapse. So far she has issued no reply 1o Mrs. Kennedy's latest accusation—that “she once threatened to have me killed.” Mrs. Kennedy charged that Miss Waldron “has sister in her control.” “Mrs. Kennedy and I haven’t spoken since the big argument,” Miss Waldron answered. “She just is angry because I locked hdr in the closet to keep her quiet. Denies Nose Was Broken “Her nose isn't broken, either. ; She just had an operation on it. She says sister broke her nose just to gain sympathy. Sister didn’t strike her at all.” Miss Waldron’s admission of a part in the scene that ended with | Mrs. Kennedy's withdrawal from the church completed the story of that episode as all sides had been told. All principals agree that Miss Waldron and her position of power in Angelus Temple caused the battle, but there the agreement ended. Mrs. Kennedy claimed her life was threatened and she suffered a broken nose when she was knocked! down by her daughter. Mrs. McPherson said her mother fell to the floor in a tantrum and that if her nose was injured it was when she fell. “Nothing but Mrs. Kennedy’s dignity was hurt,” declared Miss Waldron. Reiterates Plot Charge Mrs. Kennedy reiterated the charge that the present turmoil over Mrs. McPherson’s illness is a plot to aid in wresting control of Angelus Temple from the evangelist. “Sister doesn't have any idea about how to do business and she already almost has lost the temple,” Mrs. Kennedy said. “All she has now is a note for $250,000. “If she continues to permit her pretended friends to put out reports that she is near death and blind she will find out too late that my statements about the plot were true.”

AVERAGE PERSON PAYS $5.81 AT HOSPITAL' Costs, in All Probability, Will Be Much Higher, Survey Shows. Bu t nilcit Pirns NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—Tile average person who goes to a hospital pays $5.81 a day, according to a survey completed by the United Press today in representative cities. His costs can not be much lower than that and the probability is that they will be a great deal higher. The $5.81 —representing an average of all types of service in various cities—does not include the expenses incurred by an operation or money paid out for special nursing privileges. Nor does it include the cost of medicines and the fees of physicians and surgeons. The $5.81 estimate compares with one of $5.35 which the American Hospital Association of Chicago found to be the average cost of institutions. I. 0. 0. F.
