TO INVESTIGATE THREE BILLION
 DOLLAR CRASH
Samuel Insult Empire Went Down and In- vestors Dropped More Than One Billion DOl- lars in Fall

Chicago, Sept 15-UP)-The three billion dollar utilities empire of Samuel Insull which collapsed with a loss to investors and credi- tors estimated at more than $1,- 900, 100000 will be investigated, States Attorney John A. Swanson said to-day.
 swanson's announcement fol- lowed a new series of startling revelations in the complex affairs of the utilities chain.
 The states attorney called a conference of his chief assistants this morning to plan the inquiry. He also was to be presented with a demand by stockholders of cer- tain Insult corporations for grand jury investigation.
 Simultaneously it was learned a federal postoffice inspector was watching developments.
 The Insull affairs are the talk of the townH' Swanson said. "Ail kinds of rumors are being spread. feel it my duty to investigate these stories.
 Revelation that an official in- quiry impended came as receivers for Middle West Utilities Go pre- pared to submit their first report to the U. S. district court.
 The Middle West Utilities Co was the central holding corporation of the Insull interests. It had capi- talization of 00,000,00O. A report on Insult Utilities Investments, Inc, sister holding corporation, this week showed a $226,00O, ,000 deficit.
 However, many operating cor porations of the Middle West group are reported in good shape.
 Receivers of Middle West shared this belief in a statement accom- panying announcement of appoint n1ent of Grover c. Neff, Wisconsin utilities expert, as president of the concern, effective to-day.
 Neff succeeds Martin Insult, brother of Samuel. His post has been vacant since Samuel resigned at the time of appointment of re- ceivers last May.
 At the same time it was reported the final abdication of Samuel In- sull from all his vast holdings was forced largely because of his ef-. forts to protect stock margin &C., counts of his brother,

LaFond Is without knowledge
of the class of the visitors but

1oney as coach. At one time,
Maloney was headed for the
heavyweight championship and
fought several memorable battles
with Jack Sharkey. Maloney
also kayoed Primo Camera in
Boston.
AS the Florida team lacks a

CRITICAL CAME
FOR A. j. FIVE

The American University bas-
keters, with an unsoiled record,
reach the critical point in their
drive to an undefeated season
when they mix with the power
full st. Johns College five over
in Annapolis tonight. The Eagles
have captured nine contests and
figure the st. Johns engage
ment the most difficult of those
remaining, though they must
also hurdle Villanova on the lat
ter'S floor.
st. Johns is boasting one of
it's strongest teams and has
scalped some formidable aggrega-
tions. The JohnnieS were nipped
by but two points by American
U. in the A. U. gym and are
determined to wreck the Eagles
hope of an unbeaten season.
Coach Walter Young, of Ameri-
can u, will start Bob Fuchs and
Leonel Dick at forwards; Oscar
Sells at center, and George
Reds" Olsen and Bill Washburn
at guards.
Two attractive home games are
on tap tonight. Catholic U.,
which jolted Loyola College in

entertain Bucknell in the c. U.
gym, while Georgetown opposes
West Virginia on the Tech High
floor.
Bucknell and West Virginia
are first-rate teams, which the
Cardinals and Hilltoppers will
discover. Catholic U. is facing
the BiSons with renewed vigor by
virtue of their unexpected vic
tory over Loyola, while the Hill
toppers, who have played keenly
all season, hope to turn back

MISS
HOLDS 10
AVERAGE
BY GINO SINH

Lotta Janowitz, of Baltimore!
Paste that name in the lining
Of your brown derby when the
Washington Times Ladies' Dixie
Duckpin Sweepstakes get under
way Saturday.
That name carries as much
potency in Baltimore's girls pin
circles as Lorraine CULTS does
on the drives within the shadow
of the Capitol.
A quietly efficient woman, a
noted linguist, and a lover of
many sports, she is particularly
fond of toppling duckpins.
When she propels the over
grown cough-drop down the
CLASSY chutes you can almost
here the naples holler to each
other Duck, pins!"
Won Many Laurels
Miss Janowitz has won heap
ing quarter peck Of medals for
her prowess in showing the little
pins off the drives, and right now
she wears with unaSsuming mein
the royal raiments of the national
singles ladies championship.
This is not her first taste Of
national championship pie, for
she cut herself a big slice of it in
1880 when she anchored the Bal
timore Recreation center pinettes
to the national team champion
ship at Waterbury. Both in 1880
and 1881 she finished in the
money in the all-eventS.
Her monicker has graced every
one of the national ranking lists
compiled by that compiler deluxe,
George L. Isemann, and his N. D.
P. B. C. committee, and each time
it has been nearer the top.
Equals CULTS Pace
This is her greatest year.
She is duplicating Gulli's much
publicized Ladies District League
ITO average in the Baltimore
Mixed Doubles League, besides
nudging the naples for 105 in
the ReCreaClOn LadleS League.
With these flashy averages she is
giving GULL a run for No. ma
tional ranking.
Last April she tied Mae
Schneider for the Evening Sun
title by rolling a mighty 152 final
game, after fumbling through four
Intellectual ones. She has knack
for throwing in a powerful game
where it causes the greatest en-
barrassment to her rivals, and
does so without warning.
Because of this disconcerting
habit she can never be counted
out of the running, and the girl
who wins the blue ribbon test
Saturday will have to keep an eye
peeled at all times to offset rally
by this pleasant and reticent Bal
timore brunette.
