SWINDLE STORY
PROBE STARTED
Chicago Grocer, rs, Claims
$4,000 Loss Here.

Story of an alleged stock swindle
on Indianapolis streets was being
probed today by Chicago authori-
ties, although police here confessed
they knew nothing of the venture.
Matthias Reinert, IS, wealthy re-
tired Chicago grocer, claims he was
relieved of $4,000 in cash and ST.
600 in Liberty bonds by three stran-
gers who offered to accumulate for
him fortune in the stock market.
For many years a visitor at
French Lick, Reinert this year
sought Martinsville, a quieter spot,
he said, because he frequently lost
as much as 500 in poker games at
the other resort.
At Martinsville he met j. A. Kirk
and started back to Chicago with
him.
In downtown Indianapolis Kirk
suddenly stopped the auto.
why, there's G. E. Mayo, the
man who made millions in Mexican
oil" he said. Something must be
doing"
There was, so Reinert claims. Kirk,
Mayor and third man, who pre-
sented himself as a broker, did
Reinert for the $4,000, in a hotel
room in Gary, where the party went
from Indianapolis, Reinert told
Chicago police.

"OLLY WOOD, April %
l. l. About a year ago, almost to
the day, beautiful young blues
singer made the hit of her life
when she sang the tragic love
song from 1.-THE Vagabond King"
to a critical New York audience.
That night marked the peak of
Lillian Roth's triumphant return
to Broadway after nearly two
years in movieland. 1t also marked
the turning point in her life.
Never was a Broadway audience
as still as the one which watched
hot tears roll down Lillian's face
as the notes of her song f1oated
over them. For an instant after
the song was finished, a death
like silence gripped the spectators.
Then a roar Of applause burst
from hundreds of Threats.
The curtain went up again-but
there was no Lillian. The audience
was dumfounded. Never before
had they known of an actress who
wouldn't respond toa curtain call.
y ~ r.
DUT the audience couldn't see
ID behind the scenes, where
others in the cast were trying to
quiet the sobbing girl and get her
out on the stage again. And even
the cast didn't know that as Lii
liam sang her love song her flance
was lying dead in a hospital
nearby.
For years Lillian had been In
love. They we're to have been
married soon. Then he became i'll.
Just before leaving the hospital,
which she visited every day, for
the theater on that memorable
night Lillian was told that there
was no hope.
Just before she went on to sing
the tragic love song, a phone call
told her that he was gone.
"He told me-" Miss Roth said
afterward, that 1 was young and
would find some one else. But
that's not true. He has taken
with him my very ability to love"
A few days ago Hollywood re-
ceived the news that Lillian had
married William G. Scott of Pitts
burgh, son of wealthy lumber
merchant.
And Hollywood wonders.

FAKES HOLDUP TALE
TO WIN BACK WIFE

liam Miller in statement that the
robbery was a fake.
1T was false. I reported it be-
cause I've been separated since
April 10 from my wife. I thought
that the newspapers would publish
the story of the robbery and that
she would come back to me-" he
said.
Last night I was nervous and
walked on various streets. I used
safety razor blade to cut myself
in several places. I buried the safe
ty razor blade. I threw my billfold
away with some change. 1 rubbed
dirt on my face then 1 told man
to call police. never had $4,000.
The change I threw away near the
billfold is all the money had" he
said.
The detectives found the ''hoard"

I'm sorry I reported the robbery
to police" La Toilette apologized,
as police released him.
At an early hour today Mrs. La
Toilette had not returned to her

A member of the worm school,
is seems, just sits and fishes. A
member of the fly school dances
in the water and displays tech
nique similar to that of a fencer.
But the member of the casting
school! All, he gets to play with
more pretty red and white and
yellow toys than 4-year-old
does at Christmas time. Which
explains why the casting school
perhaps is the most popular.
1t is subdivided into three di-
visions, those of the spinners, the
wigglers, and the wabblers And
when a man who fishes with wig
glers gets into an argument with
a man who fishes with wabblers,
then the man who fishes with
spinners would better stay away
if he values his life.
But as far as Chief No Water
and Chief Young Skunk are con-
cerned, give them worms, If there
are any fish to be caught, said
they, upon finishing their lemon
soda pop.

"Um-too SOFT" said Chief No
Water, feeling his bed. Chief
Young Skunk felt and agreed.
So they settled on the floor for
the night. But the floor was too
hard, not spongy enough.
Sleepy, weary and stiff, they
struggled outdoors with their
troubles just beginning. They

'Hey, you can't bring that thing

doorman upon perceiving the per-
ambulating canoe with two pairs
of leather clad legs beneath it.
But the canoe barged past him
and into a revolving door.
And that just about fabbergast-

They finally got eXtricated,

convention floor, heaved it down

lemon pop.
The embattled chiefs applied
themselves to their drinks while
all the great big outdoor men did

shotguns and chromium plated
fishing reels in the grand ballroom

Their equipment was so fancy
