PETER VAN VLISSINGEN IS
FREED-TERM CUT SHORT

Peter Van Vlissingen, Chicago's
champion high brow pen inhabitant,
was granted a pardon by the state
board yesterday to take effect July
Is. after he served all but seven
months of an eight-year term in
Joliet.
Van Vlissingen's case was one Of
the few in which a real high-class
million dollar crook was landed be-
hind the bars. The explanation is
that he swindled his rich friends and
it didn't take them long to place him
where he stayed for nearly eight
years.

pearing gun carriages that should be
sold to foreign nations"
Here was an army officer, educat-
ed at the expense of the American
people, who took his invention,
which was perfected in government
workshops at the expense of the
American people, going into a con-
tract with the Bethlehem Steel Co.,
under which he was to receive 81, 900
royalty on every gun Of a certain
bore, $1,000 royalty on every gun of
different bore, and $4,000 on every
gun of another bore that should be
sold to foreign countries.
What would happen if the United
States should become involved in a
war with one of the countries which
might have bought the invention
upon which this army officer received
a royalty? That same army officer
might have been leading a company
and his own men shot down by the
guns perfected at the expense of
the American people simply in order
that he might have a royalty on each
gun. I want an Investigation, and l
want him to produce a copy of that
contract"

HALLOWEEN

The Riddles, yes, and even many
Of the grown ups enjoyed Halloween
last night. The stores, that carried
Halloween novelties did a rushing
business through Tuesday evening
supplying the wants of those who
participated in the evening celebra-
ton. Halloween parties, and dances,
were in vogue. Jack O. Lanterns,
black cats, witches, and other yellow
and black trappings,, that go to make
up Halloween were visible every
where. Parties Of youngsters, were
out early in their ghost-like attire,
followed by the youngsters who
were not alert enough to have pre-
pared their fun-making costumes, in
advance, and consequently had to
follow those who were better perpar-
ed to "scare them" Of course there
were some of the girls who waited
up until midnight to go through that
candle and mirror ceremony to find
out who their future husband would
be.
