Police Will Arrest
 Wandering Bathers

Chicago, June 27 (GP)-Sun- tan bathing suits are all right on Evanston beaches. but woe hettde anyone who appears on the streets of that aristocratic suburb weoring one of them.
 The backless suits were given the O. K. of Evanston aldermen yesterday. The city fathers held that Evanston bellies. being inher- ently modest. could wear nothing immodest.
 Immediately Police Chief Will liam O.Freeman announced that in his opinion any woman wear ing & suntan suit was immodest and would be arrested as soon as she stepped off a beach and into his jurisdiction.
 Il have wanted to conduct such a campaign for a long time," he said. Previously bathers have been allowed to walk from their homes to the lake in their bath ing suits. Now that the aldermen have allowed such immodest at tire on the beaches it will be ne cessary to arrest those who do not wear overcoats and keep them buttoned while en route."

ORLOFF SUSPECTED
IN Z|NOV|EFF NOTE
Berlin Police Investigating
international Forgery
Plot.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 23.-Possibility that
the famous Zinoyieff letter may have
emanated from the same Orlof docu-
ment factory known to have produced
the Borah-Soviet forgeries, shed a new
Importance today on police investiga-
tons of the activities Of Vladimir
Orloff and Alexander Guranski.
Gumanski, who Is under arrest as
accomplice to Orion In the forged Borah
letters, boosted to friend that he and
Orlof elaborated to produce the
ZinovieT forgeries, which precipitated
the downfall Of the Ramsay Macdonald
Government in England.
Police regard Gumanski as braggart
and think it not impossible that on
seeing how celebrated the Zinovieff af-
fair had become, he simply may have
boosted having had a hand in it.
Nevertheless the police admit the pos
sibility of implication of the two, and
they are devoting their energies to an
investigation into this angle
According to the friends version
Gumanski and OrlofY worked with the
Russian emigree Gen. Kornieff In Lon
don. Kornieff was requested by the
British intelligence service, so the story
goes. TO produce a letter embarrassing
for Premier Macdonald's government.
He. as a member OF the Orloff Gum
anski organization, referred the request
to Berlin where OrIoff and Gumanski
formulated a draft of the zinenvieff
letter.
This was dispatched to London and
approved by Kornieff The forged let
ter was then sent to an accomplice at
Riga, who forwarded il to London
where by Encouragement. it was in
tercepted by the intelligence service.
The letter tended to show collision
between Premier Macdonald and Soviet
officials and among other things, sug-
gested formation Of Communist cells
in the British army.
