CHICAGO, July 3.—Fifteen men and five women were in custody today as the result of a drive by the secret service to break up a gang blamed for the disposal of some $75,000 in bogus money in the midwest. The reputed leader of the group, Ben Y. liuia, was first arrested and arraigned Mondey before United States Commissioned Edwin K. Walter and held on bond of $20,000. Joseph Lisicantrelio, accused by federal agents as co-leader of the gang, was held in similar bond. Others, secret service men disclosed, have been apprehended in Milwaukee, Kenosha, Wis.; Gary, Ind., and Chicago. Tw 0 men, Joseph Katosh and Sam Greco, were held

For two weeks, Edmond Sullivan, assistant federal district attorney, said, the secret service had worked quietly after receiving a tip from Indiana stjite police. The first arrests followed soon after, and others were made almost daily. The gang', according to the prosecutor, preyed mostly on saloons and gasoline filling stations, making purchases with spurious $10 bills and being content with the change for profit. Small country stores, particularly in Illinois and Indiana, were also victimized. In a barn back of Raia’s home in Cook county, authorities said, they discovered several engraving plates, a supply of ink and paper, and a few of the counterfeit bills.

JEFFERSON, \VL-., July 3 (UP)— An alleged “death threat’’ made by Mrs. Carrie Gill, 59, Jefferson widow, against Earl Gentry, 47, slain “public enemy,” spurred the investigation into Gentry’s death today. The charge that Mrs. Gill last November threatened to kill Gentry was scrawled in what officials said wa Gentry’s handwriting across the face of a will executed in March, 1931. Tlie will namer Mrs. Gill as executrix and sole beneficiary. Across the will was written, “Nul]o! ai i l void by Earl Gentry, Nov. 28. ’33. when I was threaten to be killed by Carrie Gill. Said she would have it done on the highway.’’
Mrs. Gill, with whom Gentry had lived for the past seven years, was to lie questioned further today. Gentry came here after he was acquitted on a charge of participating in the murder of Madge Oberholtzer at Noblesville, Ind., in 1925. At that time Gentry was bodyguard for D. C. Stephenson, grand kleagle of the Indiana Ku Klux Klan, who now is serving a life term in prison on the
murder charge.
Search for the gun with which Gentry was killed early Sunday was renewed today with the recovery of an Evansville, Ind., hotel towel from j the Rock River here. Gentry had vis-

At his farm home, the outlaw’s father explained some of the strange happenings. “The federal men art* watching this place like h:nvks,” ho said. “There' must have been a core of them here Sunday. “I don’t know whether John robbed (ho hank in South Bend or not. You know how ho tods blamed for everything. But I’m almost certain he won’t come dov n lit re. “The federal men watch me all the time. It’s hard on a man who tries t > lead a decent life Of course John went wrong but that’s not ns much my f ult as politics and the prison system in Indiana.” ’1 he father < ' plained that he turned town a vaudeville offer because he lidn’t think it would bo fair to exploit his son’ mi-fortunes. “And I could have used the money,” he said. “The crops don’t look any
too good this year.” Asked whether John is still alive, the father said there was no question alxiut it. “I had a letter from him a short time ago, but I burn all his letters.” GROSS INCOME TAX PAYMENTS DUE JULY 15 For the guidance of persons who owe gross income tax, L. A. Smallwood, field agent of the gross income tax division, today announced the general rules regarding taxpayers’ liability for making tax returns due by July 15. The rules follow: Quarterly gross income tax returns, covering income for the months of April, May and June, are due on or before July 15. Assistance in preparing returns is available at all state automobile license branches. Persons or firms whose tax on in- j come for the months of April, May and June amounts to more than $10 are required to file a return by July 15 and pay the tax due. Persons or firms whose tax on income for these months is les; than

$10 are allowed by law to defer filing a return until the end of the year. The state, however, is inviting payments by such persons or firms, because quarterly installment payments are easier for most taxpayers and because payments made now will increase the funds available for the next distribution to schools from the gross income tax. The exemption for the three-month period of April, May and June is $250, which is to be deducted from July gross income tax returns before computing the tax. If no return was filed in April, covering income for January, February anil March, but the taxpayer desires or is required to file a return in July, the return should cover the six months from January 1 to Juno 30. The exemption from the six month period is $500. If for any reason, a person did not file a return in January covering income received between May 1 and December 31 last year, hut should have filed such a re’.um, the return should he filed at once. The penalties on such delinquent returns filed voluntarily are small, and license branch managers can assist in making out the returns.
IN MEMORY In loving remembrance of Evan Lamar Skimerhorn, who passed away three years ago today, July 3, 1931, age 8 years 10 months. The moon and stars are shining on a lone and silent grave. Beneath lies one we dearly loved but whom we could not save.

And find the time long inco you went. We think of your daily and hourly, But try to be brave and content. Surrounded by friends we are lonesome, In the midst of our jpys uv are blue.

Where Ten Died in Explosion
HOME TOWN OF DII.LINGER WATCHED BY FEDERAL MEN Residents of Mooresville, home town of John Diliinger, obviously had a bad case of the “jitters” over the weekend as the result of the desperado’s latest outbreak. He has been identified as leader of the bandit gang which r< bbed the Merchants Natioanl hank at South Bend Saturday, killing a policeman and wounding three others. On the surface, no extraordinary occurrences marred the peace of the village, but closer observation revealed mysterious happenings. On a long sloping hill in the southeast part of town, overlooking | (he farm of Dillinger’s father, John W. Diliinger, and the home of the ■ outlaw’s uncle, Jess Richardson, a stranger scanned the horizon with ! binoculars. Other mysterious figures moved up and down the streets. A young Mooresville man driving a speedy tan roadster roared in fruit Indianapolis and stopped in front of a filling station with a loud sc reaching of brakes.
