KILL CHICAGO
SLEUTH; GANG
LEADER SLAIN
Two Deaths Dampen Hopes
of City in Cleanup
Drive.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. L. Thomas
Geary, detective, was shot to death
today as he sat in a saloon, said
to be owned by Representative
Lawrence C. OBrien.
Geary was killed by Thomas j.
Mullarkey, bartender, with a re-
volVer the bartender Snatched from
the holster of Patrolman Edward
Johnson, who sat by Geary, John
son said.
Mullarkey had been drinking,
Johnson said, and had quarreled
with Geary. Mullarkey suddenly
reached across the bar, seized john
sons gun and shot Geary in the
head, Johnson said.
The killing of Geary followed
closely the assassination of Joseph
MARITIME, IS, Sicilian chief of Chi
cago Heights alcohol ring who was
shot down as he stood near his Sa-
loon in that suburb by a gang in
a curtained car. He fell before a
barrage of machine gun and pistol
fire.
DampenS Cleanup
MARITIME was under indictment on
a charge of giving a government
agent bride. 1t had been reported
he was about to turn governments
evidence in the Chicago Heights
liquor conspiracy cases now pending.
Fearing exposure, the liquor gang
killed him, Donald A. Kooken, Spe-
cial prohibition agent, said.
The two killings somewhat damp
ened the hopes of law abiding resi-
dents of Chicago in their drive
against crime and vice.
+. A scheduled police Shakeup
further raids against saloons and
vice resorts, naming of new fed
eral prohibition squad leader, prox-
unity of the date when new states
attorney will take Office and general
indignation over the grand jury re-
port Friday were listed by reform
leaders as hopeful signs of a real
cleanup.
Five hundred police officers and
men are due to be shifted and sew
eral officers are slated for the ak,
it was learned at police head
quarters.
Swanson Refuses Comment
That the federal government will
take a hand in the activities was
presaged with the appointment in
Washington of Alexander G.. Jamie
as chief of the special agents unit
here. Jamie succeeds George Hard
Boiled" Golding, who was removed
recently after spectacular raids in
which his men shot two persons
and were arrested by city au-
thoritieS.
Jamie will attempt to dam Chi
cago's liquor flow by breaking up
big conspiracies rather than by ar
resting small offenders.
The report of the November spe-
cial grand jury denounced the po-
lice department, laying the blame
for crime and vice conditions on
district commanders and Michael
F. Hughes, former commissioner of
police. He was the only one of
Mayor William Hale Thompscn's
appointees to be named in the re-
port.
John A. Swanson, states attor-
ney-elect, who takes Office Monday,
refused to comment on the jury re-
port, but said, my actions will
speak for themselves"

LUNA'S TIME ERRATIC;
NEEDS GOOD CLOCKER
Scientist Says Moon Doesn't Always
Stick to Rail Schedule.


Stick to Rail Schedule.
LONDON, Nov. 3O.-Astronomers
need the help of horologists to
check the gains and losses in time
made by the moon. Luna is not al
ways up to the second on her course.
Sir Frank Dyson stated before the
British Neurological Institute.
The moon was thirty seconds slow
on astronomical time in 1880, Sir
Frank said, but made up the half
minute by 1920. BY TITS it was
nearly 80 seconds ahead, and then
started to lose again, and was
back to the time of the rotating
earth by 1865. From 1876 to 1897
the moon lost Is seconds, but re-
gained IL seconds between 1897 and
1918.
I'VE should like half dozen
clocks in the best observatories, Sir
Frank said, which could be trust
ed to keep time to one second
year"

Comb Waved in Fire Ex.
pIoded, Parents Of
Child Believe.

That a celluloid comb, waved in
the flame of gas stove, exploded
to set fire to the clothing Of Harriet

fatally, was the belief today of the
childs parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Norval

Friday, at city hospital, six hours
after her mother found her, cloth
ing ablaZe, on the floor of the
floor Of the kitchen in their home.
The mother was at the phone in
an adjoining room when she heard
Annabelle's scream. At the same
moment. Annabelle's 4-year old
sister, Ida May cried out.
Wraps Child in Coat
Franticaly the mother tugged at
the door of a clothes cabinet and
tearing it open. grabbed an old coat
with which she Smothered out the
flames.
Every thread she wore was or
fire. said Mrs. Abraham. "She
must have breathed the flames
when she screamed, because she
never regained consciousness"
Gathering up the little form, the
mother ran to a neighbours home,
where a physician and the police
ambulance were summoned.
The baby's father, a Big -Four
brakeman, returned Friday night TO
learn of the tragedy.
Would Have Been Blind
Perhaps it is best that Annabelle
didn't recover" the mother sobbed
this morning, "for doctors told us
she would have been blind for life
If they had been able to save her"
The family came to Indianapolis
from Seneca, Ill, three months ago.
Funeral services were set tentatively
for Sunday morning at the home of
