REVENGE-SEEK|NG
GANG IS CAPTURED
Chicago Police, Hunting
Foley Slayer, Find Rivals
in Search.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, August THE police
out hunting for the slayers of John
j. Foley, gangster and beer runner,
who was shot to death by rival gang
sters yesterday, apparently met with
competition today when they encount-
cred a band of gangsters also hunting
Foleys assassins.
John Sheldon, head of q gang Of
which Foley was a member, and Terry
McGovern, another gangster, were
caught by the police after a long
chase. Both were heavily armed and
the police said they were cruising in
the hope of avenging Foley's death.
Additional evidence which the police
claimed further linked Joe Salts, head
Of a rival gang, as one of Foley'S
slayers, was uncovered today while
the hunt for Salts, already identified
as one of his asSailantS, was con-
tinued.
Five gangsters with Salts as their
leader have been identified from pho
tographs by witnesses as the men who
pursued Foley to his death.
The gangland silence which has
shrouded IA slayings during the past
six months in mystery was broken for
the first time today when young
Thomas Foley, brother of the slain
man, risking the fate of others who
have talked" named Salts, during
an inquest, as having threatened his
brothers life. He said that he feared
the same fate as his brother.

1--WE broke camp and started back
were coming in, the game herds ran
ahead of US. In the middle of the
afternoon the herd of wildebeest had
augmented to over 200, and they were
rather tired. We walked steadily
along, but they had been in front of
us all day running backward and for
ward and doing a lot of prancing
around. In the middle of the after
noon they tried to cut past us. We
chased them and they became de-
moralized and got into the water, this
time in a deeper place than before.
A short gallop there tired out the
youngsters. We dashed in close. the
herd passed us, there was all sorts of
and when it had quieted a bit l saw
six groups of our natives each with
calf, unhurt. One got away, but
with the one we had before we now
have an even half dozen gnu calves.
I'VE made hammocks Of burlap bags
and poles, with holes cut in the bur-
lap to put the calves feet through,
and got them here where we have
just made camp. Now they are teth-
cred to trees, and all but the young
est are contentedly munching grass.
To collect a fine herd of good
antelope in an hour without hurting
an adult or getting any boys wound
ed is for us an event.
Life In camp is interesting. AS
soon as we stop marching our cook
starts a, fire and dinner, using a piece
of corrugated iron as a stove. We
shoot a bit of game each day. So far
we have eaten wart hog, bush buck,
reed buck, gnu, Egyptian goose, spur
winged goose. ducks. guinea fowl and
francolin. This game, with our other
supplies, has made living comfortable
for us. Our other natives unload the
packs leach man carries so pounds
on his heaO our tents go up, and in
an hour we are having dinner.
Mosquitoes Not Excessive.
Mosquitoes are only moderately
abundant. Flies are especially bad
about native villages, and in some
belts we have fed hosts of tsetse flies
While these do not carry sleeping
sickness here as they do in Uganda
they are nevertheless nasty biters and
most persistent.
Our boys live on posho, which is
ground native corn or rice. Each gets
2 pounds a day, and in the evening
they line up and come one by one to
get the allowance, each holding out
a part Of the rag he wears as cup
to hold it. When we get game they
divide it with much gusto. There is
no limit to the amount Of meat that
a native can absorb.
AT night they scatter in small
groups and build fires, around which
they sleep. The other night a lion
coughed near us, and you should have
seen them coming into the camp near
the big fires
I'VE took a short cut back to UNI
bugwe. Never take a short cut in
Africa. For miles we waded in
swamp water up to our knees and in
elephant grass so high that we could
see only the back of the man in front.
Then out on a plain where the ground
was very hard and bumpy and made
our feet sore. We are in camp now"

slider going too far. To this, the
Queen is supposed to have COM
mented:
"Iliana's cousin, Princess Xenia of
Greece, married young Leeds"
Bratiano Raised Objections.
Marie first thought of accepting
her many American invitations while
Bratiano was still premier. But as
a constitutional sovereign she was
unable to go unless the prime min
lister and cabinet agreed. She tried to
get Bratiano's consent, but he agreed
only to an official trip. which was
not what she wanted. He also in
sisted that she take with her Prince
Stirby, Bratiano's brother-in-law.
Although Stirby is a favorite of the
Queens, she refused under these con-
ditions. She said she wanted to go
simply with Princess LLAMA and their
ladies-in-waiting. 1t was to be a
feminine occasion, with no minister's
and no official control.
When Bratiano fell q few months
ago, she began on Gen. AvarescO, who
succeeded him. Avaresco saw no
objections and was even pleased,
knowing that 3ratiano had foiled her.
Avaresco considered also it might
prove good for Rumania, and would
support his program of opening Ru-
mania to foreign investment, to which
Bratiano is opposed.
The King agreed, partly because he
is a very sick man. He no sooner
arrived to take his usual Summer
cure in France this year than he was
ordered to Vichy for a protracted stay.
Illness Caused Delay.
His consent having been given,
Marie could go now perhaps before
Bratiano could circumvent her. But
Ferdinand's illness Is cause of Seri-
GUS concern and Bucharest is kept in
constant communication with the doc
tors in Vichy> A fatal illness for Perdi-
nand, with Prince Carol still unrecOn-
ciled to his parents and living here

would be a political event Of first
importance in Rumania. So she can
hardly go now on that account. as
well as because Of natural concern
over her husbands health.
This has given Bratiano time to
act. He has sent his right hand man.
Constantinesco, from Bucharest to
Vichy to induce the King to withdraw
his consent.
The sending of Prince Stirby with
Marie is still Bratiano's idea. Before
he lost the premiership he even con-
sidered appointing him Minister at
Washington to have him there for
the day he felt approaching when
he could no longer oppose the trip.
On the contrary, the Queen thinks the
present Is an admirable moment, be-
cause there is no Rumanian Minister
at Washington to tie her up with a
long series of engagements. If Ferdi
nand is improved by the Vichy cure
she NAV have her way.
