8 ARE QU|ZZED
FOR MURDER

Police today are holding three
colored women and three colored
men for questioning in connec-
tion with the murder of Mamie
Soloman, %, hacker, Wednesday
night. Two colored women and
a colored man, arrested imme-
diately after the shooting, also
are being held.
Examination of a bullet fired
by one of three colored bandits
during an attempted holdup of
q delicatessen store a few hours
before the shooting and of a
cartridge from which lie bullet
that ended Solomon's life was
fired has convinced police that
the same gun was used in each
case.
No definite clues to the iden-
tity Of the murderers have been
discovered, however, and a solu.
ton Of the crime does not appear
to be near.

textbooks used here, which COM
ments on the drinking habits
of the early settlers, thus:
"The drinking of strong alco-
hOlic liquors was a part of the
tradition of many of the people
who came to America. They
had taught the evil to Indians,
upon whom it had the most
disastrous results, and, although
they themselves seemed more

OPPONENT

CHICAGO, March 24.-Before a
crowd of $4,000 Democrats and
anti-Thompson Republicans who
Jammed the new sports audito-
rum here, Anton Cermak, Bohe-
mian immigrant, set forth his rea-
sons for believing that he should
be elected mayor of Chicago on
April 6. ,
Mr.. Cermak. who began life in
Chicago as a pushcart vendor of
kindIing wood, was escorted to the
stadium by procession Of 1000
torch bearers. On one side of
him was James Hamilton Lewis,
newly elected Democratic Senator,
and on the other was Coroner
Herman Bundes0n. Coroner Bun.
deson, who is declared to be Chi
cagO's biggest vOte-getter, stepped
out of the mayOralty race so that
he would not hinder Mr.. Cermak.
GNduCS DAAAASSSdLC
Mr.. Cermak declared that he
would not swap billingSgate"
with Mayor Thompson. as he is
not sufficiently proficient in that
sort of language" In referring
to the police department, he said:
"An that the police depart
ment needs in order to deal as
successfully with the present
crime situation as it did with
the other problems that con-
frOnted it is to be permitted to
do police duty with men at it's
head interested solely in the
suppression of crime, with a
d. mayor who will protect the
honest policeman in the per
fOrmance of his duty and en-
courage him. Then Chicago
need have no fear what will
happen in the next few years."
Mayor William Hale Thompson
at the same time opened the
series of Loop theater meetings
which will be held daily until
election day. The mayor opened
his campaign at the Sport The
ater, owned by Sport Herman,
who some time ago was appointed
by the mayor to weed out pro-
English books in the libraries of
the city.
BallyhOO Missing
There was no show or circus
ballyhoo about the opening of the
Thompson campaign, despite rum
ors that clowns, pigs and burroS
would be gathered for the per
formance."
At the beginning of the meet
ing, however, someone began the
new campaign song, rapping
Cermak. It ran:
"TOny, Tony, where's your
pushcart at?
GLOW do you expect to be

with a name like that?"
A number of young women
went through the theater passing
out copies of paper praising the
Thompson administration and
the personal policies of the mayor.
