two GUNNER HELD
|. AS SHOOTING FA|LS
Third and Intended Victim
Vanish After Trio Open
Fire in Busy Street.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, September 22.-Two OF
three alleged gunner who fired at least
five shots into the tonneau of an auto
mobile, intending, police said, to kill an
enemy near Michigan Boulevard and
Monroe streets, were held today.
Crowds in the streets were thrown into
confusion by the shooting.
The pair, both henchmen OF Alphonse
Capone, were identified as James Red
Forsythe and Sam Hunt. They were
captured in an areaway behind the
Goodman Theater. Both had thrown
away their pistols.
Just Business Men,"
I'VE Just ran to get away from the
shooting" Hunt explained. We're
business men,"
Forsythe was at one time suspected
of the killing of Alfred j. Lingle,
Tribune reporter, who was slain only
three blocks from yesterdays shooting.
Once he was sentenced to serve year
for carrying a concealed weapon, but
the Supreme Court reversed the deci-
sion. Hunt also has boosted of escap-
ing punishment on pistol-carrying
charges.
Intended Victim Vanishes.
AS for the third man with Forsythe
and Hunt, he rode away from the scene
as quickly as did the intended victim.
Ownership of his car was traced by
license plates to a renting concern,
where it had been hired by man who
said he was Leonard Phillips.
The victim himself was entirely I'M
identified. Whoever he was and whether
he escaped the bullets which Hunt and
Forsythe fired into his car as hundreds
of pedestrians scampered out OF range
was not learned by police.

dent in previous depressions, and wage
cutting was the exception rather than
the rule the book states.
The trend in the number OF persons
EMPLOYED by railroads is shown to have
been downward since 1923, with much
fewer employed in 1890 than in other
recent years.
Rail Traffic Declined.
Railway freight traffic declined 14.2
per cent and was smaller than in any
years since 1922. Passenger business
was also lower.
The department, dealing in retrospect
with the effects of the depression,
pointed to the temporary bolstering OF
conditions during the first four months
in 1890, which was period Immediately
after the adoption of a program to
check declining business at a confer
ence between President Hoover and
outstanding business leaders.
This improvement, however, was
short-lived, the alalySiS sets out ano
business activity declined steadily from
that time TO January, 1881.
The department declared with respect
to prices that many raw materials have
declined in value to, or below. actual
production costs. This fact, together
with the general decline in commodity
prices, was said to have made this coun-
try's foreign trade show a greater
decrease when compared with other
years than actually has happened when
the measurement is by volume.

Western Presbyterian Church,
~ H street between Nineteenth
and Twentieth streets. Rev. j.
Harvey Durham, pastor Of Western
Presbyterian Church since 1909, will
conduct the services.
The corner stone Of the new church

James B. Lambie, then the oldest Ma
son In the District of Columbia and a
trustee Of the church, assisted in the
ceremonies. in which was used the
gavel used by George Washington
when the corner stone of the United
States Capitol was laid.
The new church building. con-
structed at a cost of approximately
100000, was designed by Norman
Hume, Philadelphia architect, and is
of perpendicular English Gothic archi-
lecture. Local stone finished with
hammered surface was used.
The church auditorium Is OF the
clerestory long-axis type, with central
aisle leading to balanced sanctuary,
and will seat 500 persons. The ceiling
is supported on heavy oak beam truSseS.
with a clear height to a ridge of 80
feet. A gallery, especially designed not
to project into the auditorium, will seat
100 persons.
Though the church auditorium con-
forms to traditional practice in both
layout and design, the Sunday school
rooms and associated features are
modern in every respect. Both the first
and second floors are fitted for social
needs An Office for the Sunday school

organ with "a chimes and more than
1900 pipes has been installed.
The English close and Itch gate are
especially attractive and unusual fea-
lures of the building Another interest
ing feature Is the famous bell which
was installed in the old church in 1872
and which now occupies a skilfully
designed place Of honor in the new
building. Like many Of the famous
church bells in the United States, this
old bell was cast in England. At the
Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in
1876, 1t was awarded a prize for its
fine tonal qualities
The church building has had a color
full history. 1t had its inception in
