CHICAGO, December 19.-The slay-
ing in a suburban Lyons beer tavern
today of young married woman was
followed several hours later by the sui
eide of the man police identified as her
killer.
The principals in the double tragedy
were Mrs. Irene Hard, "a, of Lyons, and
Wilfred Belanger. 81. identified by the
formers husband. George Hard, as my
best friend"
Joseph Talafous, proprietor of the
Camp Grill Tavern. said the couple re-
turned to the place after taking Hard
home and that as they sat drinking
they began to quarrel.
Going to the booth he said he saw
Belanger draw a revolver at which the
tavern keeper rushed to a telephone to
call police. While he was putting a
call through he said shot was fired
and he found Mrs. Hard lying dead on
the floor and her companion gone.
Police went to the Hard home nearby
and aroused the husband who had re-
tired and from him learned the identity
of his wife's companion, and then hur-
ried to his apartment in Chicago to
arrest him.
But they were too late as when they
arrived they found Belanger slumped
over the wheel of his automobile in the
garage. He had shot himself after an
apparent futile effort to end his life by
inhaling carbon monoXide gas.

the couple to the docks. where they
boarded a Coast Guard boat for the
ride to the river buoy where the famous
plane had been moored since their un-
expected arrival here yesterday.

Prepare for Christmas.
Less than five hours were expected tc
see them at the end of their five-month
trip and only a brief rest was probable
before they plunged into preparations
for Christmas with the baby'-the
goal announced by Mrs. Lindbergh ever

described to Senate investigators today

Lord readily agreed as the Senate
Banking Committee opened its investi-
cation Of the Detroit banking collapse

tion had made mistakes. but contended
its downfall was due primarily to un.
precedented economic conditions.

subsidiary banks were required by the
holding company to sign waivers giving
up their stock when they retired. and

Disclosure by Pecora Of changes In
directors Of subsidiary banks at demand
of the holding company.
Prediction by Lord that the Guardian
National Bank of Commerce biggest OF
the group, would pay 100 per cent tc
depositors.
Pecora produced an agreement which
he said directors of subsidiary banks
signed. pledging that wher they retired
they would turn over to the holding
company their stock in return for the
group stock.
Required to Sign Stock.
Lord agreed directors were generally
required to sign such an agreement, but
contended the officer who signed
didn't have to be a director
What was the purpose?" Pecora
asked.
There was no desire to have the
stock floating around loose Lord said
adding after consultation with asso-
ciates that the practice was followed
so mo former director could profit or
lose"
LORD SAID the practlce had Deen ap-
proved by former Controller of the

tors to own their stock outright. un-

LICENSES
BOOKMAKERS

ANNAPOLIS, March Senator
Thurman c. Atkinson has intro
duced in the Maryland legislature
a bill to license bookmaking in
Baltimore and to impose a one
per cent tax on every dollar bet
made through bookmakers.
Senator Atkinson was designated
by the city senators to investigate
the practicability of such plan
to provide additional revenue for
the municipality.
The State Racing Commission
would issue the licenses and col
lect the tax. Senator Atkinson
understands that approximately
100 bookmakers will take out the
licenses at $2,500 each if the bill
is enacted.
Revenues are estimated at about
$1,000,000 from the operation of
the proposed tax. The city of
Baltimore would receive IS per
cent and the counties the re-
mainder.
All bookmaking establishments
thus licensed would be required to
close during the racing seasons
at Pimlico, Havre de Grace, Laurel
and Bowie.

DO HEADACHES
DRIVE YOU CRAZY?

It's the worst kind of folly to dope
and drug yourself every time you
have one of those binding, throb-
bing headaches. For drugs only re:
lieve the pain for the moment, and
in a little while the headache re-
turns worse than ever and you have
to drug yourself all over again
You've got to get at the cause.
Poisons created in your own body
cause these severe headaches, and
you must remove the poisons to get
relief of lasting nature.
By starting the new harmless
Cream of Nujol treatment, today,
you may free yourself from this
constant torment.
This new form of Nujolis specially
designed to rid you of poisons which
very often cause this condition.
Cream of Nujol contains no drugs.
and does not in any way interfere
with work or play. 1t is delicious to
take. Moreover, you can use this
modern treatment at cost Of but q
few cents day.
Take Cream of Nujol night and
morning. Begin this very night and
give it a real trial. Buy it at any
drug counter.

DEPOSITS
PERMITTED IF
!. GUARANTEED

Banks throughout the United
States were beginning to reopen
today to resume some of their
n:rmal functions.
! Regulations issued by Secretary
Of the Treasury Woodin permitted
ihstitutio'- closed by the national
Holiday to receive new guaranteed
deposits.
Activities Permitted
They permit the redemption Of
Treasury checks in cash, the
opening of safety deposit vaults,
the making of change, and inter-
bank settlement of all open
transactions not entered on the
books at the close of business
prior to the presidential order.
Millions of dollars were ex-
pected to find their way back
into the banks as the result OF
the guarantee clause Of the
regulations. =.
~ lCCC1VC 41CW 0CPOSAOSS WA
banks which were operating prior
to yesterday, when the holiday
became effective, must set up
special tt st accounts. The de-
posts received must be main
tanned in cash. on deposit with
the Federal Reserve banks, or
invested in Government secur-
'dties.
Money Absolutely Safe
That is a move in the direc-
ton of restoration of confidence.
Money so deposited would be alb
solutely safe, according to Off
cials, who pointe'' out that it
would be protected about as
securely as national bank notes.
The effect, officials said, would
be to bring a large amount out
of boarding and return to the
!, ~lkS.
When the present crisis de-
Neloped suddenly, more than a
billion dollars was in hoard, ac-
cording to best estimates. The
banking runs that occurred sub
sequent to holidays that by Sat-
urday had closed virtually all
banks in the country undoubtedly
increased boarding to probably
sever billions.
Prior Deposits Frozen,
If a substantial portion of this
money could be attracted to the
banks and could be put into real
use. the volume of scrip that
must be issued would be reduced
vastly. It might even be suffi-
cient to make possible the carry
ing on of interstate trade.
Deposits made prior to the
bank holiday would remain tenn
porarily frozen until the liquid
asses of the banks are deter
::>7ined. With a determination of
liquid assets, a corresponding per-
centage of the deposits probably
will be permitted to be with
drawn.
