$4,000 GIFT
IS WILLED TO
TENNIS QUEEN
Helen Wills Moody Denies
BeuueSt Will Hurt ANA
teur Standing.

Blu United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-A
maelstorm OF controversy, brought
on by the late Senator James B.
Phelan's bequest of $4,000 to Mrs
Helen Wills Moody. swirled today
around the tennis champions head
Mrs. Moody branded as unbound
ed" a rumor that acceptance OF the
money would jeopardize her anna
teur standing.
That's absolutely absurd" she
said. such bequest could moi
possibly have anything to do with
my future tennis career.
"And I think it is extremely bao
taste to bring up such a suggestion
at this time. I do not appreciate il
and 1 am sure that Senator Phelan
were he alive, would resent it also"
Amateur Status Questioned
The exact wording of the late SEN
ator's will-"To Mrs. Helen Wills
Moody, in appreciation of her win
ming the tennis championship for
California, $40, 000"-led to the belief
in some quarters that to accept the
bequest would violate terms Of the
rules laid down by the Lawn Tennis
Federation of which the United
States Lawn Tennis Association is
member.
The rules state that "any lawn
tennis player is an amateur who
does not, or has not, directly or in
directly, received pecuniary advan-
tage by the playing, teaching OF
pursuit of the game"
Sides With Mrs. Moody
Roscoe Naples, president of thu
California Tennis Association, saiC
he was inclined to agree with Mrs
Moody, that acceptance Of the gif
would in no way cause her to sac
rifice her amateur standing.
Senator Phelan was proud o
Mrs. Moody, as we all are" h
stated. "And I believe he gave thu
gift to her out of admiration alone
1t simply was an act Of friendliness.
Il have not been notified official.
of the bequest," Mrs. Moody told re-
porters, "and, of course, am not il
position to state definitely what
shall do. 1 am deeply grateful t.
Senator Phelan and I am only sorr!
this construction had to be place.
on my accepting it."

LINK OFFICIALS
To GANGS BY
zUTA's BOOKS
Records in Safety Deposit
Vault Bare Racketeer'S
Part in LingIe Case.
SLAIN BY OWN MEN
Sensational Evidence Is
Predicted When Full
Check Is Made.
By United Press


CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-John A.
Swanson, states attorney, and his
assistants today made public EVIL
dence which they declared definitely
linked numerous officials to under
world activities of Jack zuta, re-
Gently slain gangster lieutenant.
Evidence was in the form Of rec
ords which Zuta, a leader in the
Moran iello-Z uta north side gang,
kept during the years before he was
shot down in Wisconsin hotel re-
sort.
These records were found in two
safety deposit boxes by Charles T..
Rathbun, Chicago Tribune attorney,
and Pat Roche, chief investigator
for Swanson. Both men are mem
bers of the special board of strategy
investigating the murder of Alfred
(Jake) Lingle, Tribune reporter.
They have uncovered evidence in
dicating Zuta engineered the muir
der of Lingle and was then killed
by his own gangsters, who feared he
had "squealed."
Murder Solution Predicted
The records, they believed, were
the most important evidence found
in either case and believed they
might lead to solution of both
murders.
Some of the names which the in
vestigators said they found in the
Zuta records we're those of Emanuel
Eller, former municipal, superior
and criminal courts judge; Joseph
w. Scyulman, a municipal court
judge for many years; George Van
Lent, former state senator and
political leader; Louis I. Fisher, at
torney and brother of circuit
court judge, and Richard j. Will
iams, sergeant of police.
The names Of these men, investi-
gators said, appeared on cancelled
checks and notes.
Balance Sheet Is Aired
The Tribune today published a
copy of a balance sheet which it
stated was part of the Zuta records
and which disclosed huge financial
dealings of the north side gangs.
Most Of the names listed on this
balance sheet" were nicknames or
addresses. One, listed as EAST
Chicago" was said by the Tribune
to indicate police station. Other
entries were translated as meaning
George Bugs Moran, Barney
BertSche, and other known gang
sters.
The sheet showed receipts Of
$429, 046.78; disbursements of $780,
O76.73, including the alleged personal
items or Withdrawals; profits on
various enterprises, including one
which apparently was a dog track,
of $202, 1904; and losses on other
ventures totaling $127, 574.97.
Find Sheriff's Courtesy" Card
The balance sheet was headed
period ending Nov. IL, inclusive,
and investigators said it represent
ed the financial dealings of the Mo-
an-Aiello-Zuta combine for one
week only.
They found, they said, records for
many other weeks, some Of which
would be more startling than the
one released.
Investigators declared they be-
lieved Zuta had retained many OF
the notes and checks as evidence
to be used against officials with
whom he had dealings in case they
became "unmanageable."
One exhibit to which the officials
attached Importance was courtesy
card made out to zuta and signed
by Charles E. Graydon, former
sheriff.

Jackson, 0'Brine Are DrlV-
ing On to Goal of 1000;
Plane Hitting Good.

By United Press
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 16.-The
motor of the endurance plane, The
Greater st. Louis was watched
closely today for signs of break
that might force Dale jackson and
Forrest O'Brine to return to earth.
Termination of the longest flight
ever made by man depended entirely,
the filters agreed, upon how long
the motor could endure the strain
of keeping the orange and yellow
monoplane aloft.
Observers at the field agreed the
motor soon must give some indica-
ton of the strain it had been under
almost four weeks. Although it had
shown no sign Of weakening except
for excessive use of oil and some
minor troubles that could be repaired
in the air.
Set Hearts on 1000
Jackson and O'Brine were conf
dent of reaching the 1,000-hour
mark-more than two weeks hence
hitch they had set as their goal.
: At lO:II An. the plane had
been in continuous fight for GIT
hours. The fliers had passed the
Hunter brothers record by more
than seventy-three hours and were
within 273 hours Of the goal they
had set for themselves.
jackson and O'Brine took their
SKY bungalow" off the earth at
Til a. m. July 81. Ten days ago
they passed the record of 400 hours
which they established on July %,
1929. and held for almost a year.
Three days ago they regained the
record when they rode one hour
past the $50 hours and Al minutes
record set by John and Kenneth
Hunter in the "City of Chicago"
July 4.
Finances Cause Worry
Financial returns from the flight
decreased today, causing much
concern for Will Pickins, the f1iers'
manager.
Jackson and O'Brine were
promised 500 an hour by an OIL
company for each hour they added
to a new record, up to seventy
hours. That time was up at
1852 a. m.
Returns from other advertising
and movietone contracts have
METER them about 5000 so far,
bringing their total to approximate
Nv $4,000. Expenses of the flight
have been greater than that.
