$575,000 BOND LOOT GIVEN UP I BY BANDIT GANG Robbers Beat Raid, Leave Fortune in Suitcase on Corner. £v Uvittd Prmn CHICAGO, Jan. 6.—A suitcase packed with $575,000 in bonds found in the dead of night on a Chicago street comer today brought to a dramatic end a thrilling 80,000mile search for the stolen securities of the Lincoln (Neb.) National bank. The bonds were part of $2,875,000 loot from a machine gun holdup of the institution Sept. 17, 1930. The story of the recovery of the securities, more reminiscent of a Sherlock Holmes yarn than routine police work, was iold by Investigator Roy Stcflans today. Steffans is part of Chicago's mysterious “secret six,” super crimefighting organization of business men. He has been working for months on the case. “I and other defectives had traveled 80,000 -miles through forty states on the trail of the bank raiders,” Steffans, whose black hair at 45 is graying, said in a husky voice. “We were close behind them. A west side Chicago apartment was located as their hideaway and we were about to raid the place. “Tuesday at 2 a. m. I was awakened by a phone call. A voice said ‘call off that raid or you’ll be killed. We're bringing the stuff over to the corner by your house right now.’ “I was afraid they meant to kill me and my wife and children. I called Detectives Charles Touzinsky and Hal Roberts and asked them to come over. Then my wife and I barricaded a room and hid the children there. She watchad at

FILIP OPEN a pack of Chesterfields! Help yourself to a cigarette... Light up...and let’s get the facts. Mister...you're dead right. They're milder! And when the cool, fresh Chesterfield smoke hits the taste-spot... there's no question about it... they do taste better! It’s no secret in tobacco circles that Chesterfield buys the finest tobaccos that grow... Turkish and Domestic... sun-ripened, mellow, pure! Chesterfields are blended first...then cross-blended ...to make them milder...and milder still! There’s no mistaking that rare balance of flavor built up by

Bonded Stuff By United Prrt* NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—Edward E. Babcock is thankful for a burglar with a conscience that let him take only what he needed most. Monday, a chilly day, a burglar entered Babcock’s office and took an overcoat. He left $2,000 in securities, checks made out to “cash,” and a bottle of gin, all of which were reported “good stuff.”

i a window while I got out my submachine gun.” When the officers arrived, they went to the corner and found a suitcase standing under a lamppost. In it were the secuirties. “We were so close on the bandits’ trail, they hadn't had a chance to 1 clip a coupon from the bonds,” Steffans said. “It was the largest amount of loot ever returned volun- ' tarily by thieves.” In the presence of Alexander Jamie, chief investigator of the Sei cret Six, and Max Towle, Lincoln prosecutor, the 100-pound suitcase of bonds was turned over to W. E. Barclay, director, and D. E. Love, former vice-president of the instiI tution which was forced to close by the tremendous loss in the raid. The loss to the Lincoln bank was cut to $15,000 by the return. Proof I has been given the institution of destruction of $2,217,000 of non- . negotiable bonds, allowing issuance of duplicate certificates. Insurance covers the remainder of the loss.* j Both Jamie and Towle denied the recovery was facilitated byGGuss f Winkler, Capone gangster and' friend of Fred Burke, notorious bank robber. Winkler, when held in connection with the Lincoln holdup, offered to obtain the bonds if given freedom. He subsequently was released when an alibi was proved. “Winkler had nothing to do with the return of the bonds,” Jamie said. It is estimated that railway porters in the United States receive about $7,000,000 a year in tips.

THE proposed closing of schools in Chicago due to lack of funds thus far has brought no protest from the pupils. u tt * CHICAGO will adopt the sixhour day and will no doubt discover that the usual eighthour job can easily be done in six hours. uaa BY this time New Year's resolutions are beginning to resemble something the cat dragged in. a a a AND it’s not amiss to mention that wet. slippery streets and smooth tires make a nice combination for an accident. If your tires are smooth, replace them now for safety and economy. Miller Tires, with the. famous Geared -to - the - Road Safety tread are now selling at the lowest prices in the history of the industry. a a a WITH 9,000 bills 'introduced since the opening of Congress and more being presented daily, we believe that this is another instance where the supply greatly exceeds the demand and steps should be taken to curtail production. a a a AND now we learn that Congressmen will have their speeches transcribed on records and sent to local stations to he broadcast. Well, anyway, there’s a remedy for that. . a a a AND we also learn that plans are being made to broadcast the entire Congressional proceedings over a national network.
