SINCLAIR TO TUNE
 IN 0N HQ1& RACE
Millionaire Prisoner to Fol.
 low Own Entries . Through Radio

Washington, May : Harry F.. Sinclair. registered pharmacist set- ting rapidly into the jail life he will live until midsummer. looked forward today to the privilege of listening over the radio Friday while one of his thoroughbred pets car- ries his racing colors into an Ameri4 can turf classic.
 The multi millionaire oil maa, who Monday began serving a ninety day sentence for contempt of the senate. has seldom missed being Tn his box for the running of an im- portant race in which he had en- tries. and in the Preakness he has i've colts nominated. with Mei Foo and Leucite expected to start. But he will see that race only through the eyes of a radio announcer and |. then by permission of his jailer and because of his good fortune to have studied pharmacy in his youth.
 Warden Peak explained that office workers in the Jail often listen in on the radio to baseball games and other major sports events and said that no objection would be made if the oil man joined them Friday and again the Saturday when the ken- lucky Derby will be run.
 Lcss Publicity Now
 Today the celebrated prisoner was able to go about his duties with the newspaper spotlight turned not 50 directly upon him. as it has been recently. It was turned aside by order Of George s. Wilson. director of public welfare, who has barred all newspaper men from the jail temporarily because he said they were interfering with the routine of the institution. He refused to say how long this rule would be maintained but in the meantime Sinclair was able to go about his ac- tivities as pharmacist and assistant to the prison doctor without the eyes of the world following him.
 Yesterday he assisted in the dress ing of a minor wound on a prisoner and found time between work and strengthening up his private shelf to strike up an acquaintanceship with . race horse bookmaker. He will not be permitted to see callers except on Sundays, but his attor- neys may call at any time, and Warden Peak said that hts mail would not be examined.

 Hammond, Ind. May 5 N - A treble slaying today sundered the brief truce of Chicago's gangland. Three men. identified by newspaper men as John Scalisi. Albert Anselmi and Joe Guinta, were found shot to death on the rural roadside early to- day and the forfeit of thei rlives was seen as retribution of their under world foes for the massacre of George Bugs Moran's seven clans men last St. Valentines Day.
 Scalisi and Enselmi were rcputed henchmen of Scarface Al Capone. notorious sang leader. now resident of Miami. Fla. Scalisi had been freed under &5O.0O0 bond only a week ago. pending trial as one of the Moran gang executioners.
 Chicago police were attempting to verify and make official the identi- fcations of newspapermen. Their progress was retarded because of the finding of the bodies across the state line in Indiana.
 Guinta, who was thought to be the third victim, was a west side tobac- co store owner and also had been questioned in connection with the Moran rang killings. In pocket of the mans coat police found 8 card bearing the name Of Joe Berardi, official of cigar shop. The re- porters, however. believed this was not the dead mans name. All other

"On Christmas eve we climbed to
the top of Mt. Santo Tomas, 5000

pine trees and everywhere wild flow

We reached the top in time for a
glorious sunset with marvellous dis

all night The only other guests
were two German men from Manila,

been improving so that now, except
