HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September
(N.AN.A.) Good many exaggerated
tags have been tied on Hollywood, but
1t is undoubtedly the place where the
greatest number of Cinderella stories
come true.
Yesterday morning little golden
haired 5-year-old girl arrived at the
8, whose curlS were tied back in Alice
Northumberland fashion, ran out to meet
the newcomer and kissed her fondly.
Mildred Gloria Lloyd was welcoming
her new little sister home.
Marjorie Elizabeth, who will be known
In the future as Peggy Lloyd came
empty-handed to her new estate. She
left behind the clean but shabby little
frockS of her five r,otherless years. She
came to the most magnificent nursery
the world has ever seen: she came to
share equally with one Of the greatest
heiresses of cinemaland.
The little girl, whom the Harold
Lloyds will adopt today. has visited sew
era1 times at he new home-week ends
and long afternoons of sheer delight;
days when she came to adore the little
girl who will be her sister and to love
Harold Lloyd and Mildred, his wife.
They were nice visits. But yesterday
everything was different. Mildred Gloria
IloydS entire possessions of every kind
had been duplicated. There were two
little pink and white beds where before
there was but one; every frock, every
row of tiny shoes, ready for all occa-
sions; every toy had been bought in
duplicate for the new small sister.
Behind every tale of sheer Joy there
IL . touch Of pathos. Perhaps it is al
ways this underlying shadow which in
tensifies happiness. In this Cinderella
tale of Peggy Lloyd Mrs. Louise Sullivan
Of Pasadena is the protagonist Of sor-
row. Her life work had been finding
homes for little waits. She cheerfully
turned them over to pleasant surround
ings and empty arms. Then she saw
small Peggy and resolved never to let
her so. Almost at this time the Harold
Lloyds, looking for little sister for
Gloria, came to Mrs. Sullivan's and fell
In love with the beautiful 5-year-old
Mrs. Sullivan made the sacrifice. She
gave the little girl up to home of
wealth, to fairy tale existence of lux
ury, to very sincere and genuine love
One quite as sincere as her own had
been.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

Last Christmas Mildred Gloria was
given her own gymnasium, as perfectly
fitted as any star in the colony pos
sesses. There Is her private pool, her
small exercising machines, tiny shower
and steam room.
Most interesting of all, the newcomer
matches in beauty the perfect features
of baby Lloyd. But at the present tell

promises the greater personality.
Burton Holmes tells me he is having
the time of his life making travelogues

DOHERTY SHORTAGE

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 1o.-The
Cosmopolitan Bank g. Trust Co. was
closed today by o. c. Gray, State super
intendent of banks, after a shortage OF
from $575,000 to $59O,Ooo was found in

The Doherty company was one Of
the largest depostitors in the Cosmo-
politan Bank.
Gray ordered the bank to remain
closed, saying its affairs were in the
hands of the State.
Examiners and county officials said
q shortage of more than $1,000 900
existed in the books of Amos w. Shafer,
former district manager of the Doherty
company, and declared the seriousness
of the shortage was emphasized by the
fact the banks capital, according to a
to only $637,377.
Officials said the shortage was caused
by stock market gambling operations of
Shafer. Shafer was arraigned on an
embezzlement charge, waived examina-
ton and held to the grand jury under
$4,000 bond.

LingIe's Murderer.
CRIME SEEN AS WARNING
OF GANGLAND TO PAPERS
All Forces Join Together in Search
as Six Are Taken
in Custody.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 10.-One of the
greatest murder hunts Chicago ever has
seen was organized today.
Police, States attorneys men, private
detectives and the organized power oil
the press joined to track down the man
| who killed Alfred (Jake) Lingle, 49,
year-old reporter for the Tribune, yes
terday.
Rewards totaling $50, 1000 were posted
$4,000 by the Tribune and $4,000 by
the Chicago Evening Post. The Press
Club of Chicago issued statement that
it stood ready to post an additional
5000.
Two hundred or more persons were
within a few feet Of Lingle when he
was shot down at 1:35 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon, yet the slayer not only
escaped but left witnesses with a con-
fusion of stories as to just what hap
pened.
Revisit Murder Scene.
Early today the investigators revis-
dips under Michigan boulevard at Ran
dolph street and leads to the Illinois
Central Station. They wanted to re-
check every possible means of escape
that the slayer may have taken. They
sought to learn whether some clue pre-
viously overlooked might be revealed.
Already they had the killers gun, a
pocket revolver of SO caliber, and they
had the black silk glove worn by the
killer to prevent telltale fingerprints
being left on the pistol butt. That was
about ALL
There were many witnesses and
almost as many different stories of what
happened. Several, however, tentatively
identified rogue gallery pictures of Sam
Hunt. Capone gunman, as closely re-
sembling the man who killed Lingle.
Hunt, carrying shotgun in q golf bag,
was arrested a fortnight ago on the
Northwest Side shortly after a gang
cunning, in which the body of the
victim was spirited away. He is out on
bond under charges of carrying con-
cealed weapons.
Knew Gang big Shots"
I.ingle Is the first newspaper man,
the Tribune pointed out, to be muir
dered since Don r. Mellett, Canton,
Ohio, editor, was slain in July. 1926,
following his crusade against gangsters
there. Lingle's 18 years as a Tribune
reporter have been devoted largely to
police reporting and investigation, 6
job that has brought him into contact
with most of the big shot" gangsters
of Chicago. He was well acquainted
with Al (Scarface) Capone, among
others, and once was entertained at the
Capone home in Miami.
The Tribune reporter, reputedly
wealthy enough to retire, but staying on
the job through pure joy of the work,
was working on the chain of gang
murders that have been committed
within the last 10 days. He himself
became the eleventh victim.
The Tribune today said there ap-
peared to be no direct motive. Lingle,
the paper said, had been covering" the
underworld for the Tribune for years.
