CHICAGO, June 22.-How to ham
die one Of the country's biggest ex-
periments in legalized gambling is
Chicago's new problem.
The operation of handbooks, taking
bets on horse races, viii be lawful
in Chicago If Gov. Horner signs q
bill which Mayor Edward j. Kelly
backed personally in the Legislature.
Then, with many civic leaders OBJ
jecting that the idea is morally wrong.
comes such questions as how side
line" gambling shall be treated, how
minors shall be excluded and what
kind Of betting shops shall be set UP.
No Such Plan In U. s.
There is no similar system closer
than Europe, says Mayor Kelly, from
which to borrow ideas.
"Chicago is the first American city
to try this, and the idea is rather
revolutionary" said the mayor. I've
sent for data on licensed gambling In
Paris and London.
"It must be done in such way as to
protect the public, encourage the
honest bookies and drive out the boot
leggers."
One Of the laws to bet set up in
special ordinance, If Gov. Horner signs
the bill, probably will be one setting
a minimum size for bets-and this,
City Hall reports say, is likely to be
so cents.
Commission to Be Named.
The mayor, who said he had mo
set ideas" as to the boohe ordinance,
proposes to leave 1t to q commission
Of aldermen and laymen. They would
decide what bond Is to be required,
among other things, and what license
fee is to be charged.
Professional gamblers estimate that
Chicago can take in at least $1,000
900 a year from handbooks, If 1t adopts
the simple expedient of charging the
bookies the same license fee now re-
putedly collected by "the syndicate
ruling Chicago gambling.

tress. other cartridges were found
in a bureau drawer. Starr said
he had taken the pistol away from
Mrs. English and police had found
evidence of a struggle in the apart
ment.
Sergt. r. B. Carroll, tenth precinct,
who conducted the investigation at
the apartment, said he was puzzled by
the manifold circumstances surround
ing the case. He announced Starr
would be held until the case is fully
cleared up.
Police quoted Lieut.. English as
saying he had met Starr only once
and that his wife had told him that
she had met him in New York. At
that time, Lieut.. English was in Little
America.
Lieut.. English arrived at the apart
ment shortly after Mrs. English
had been taken TO Emergency Hos
pital. He rushed of to the hospital
and declined to comment on the case.
Miss Emily Morrison, neighbor,
told police of seeing Mrs. English on
the ledge and apparently trying to
reach the awning in the next window.
This window, according to Harry
Shorter, an elevator boy in the
building, opens into an adjoining
apartment.
Saw Woman on Ledge.
Shorter said he heard something
fall on the sidewalk and looked up,
to see Mrs. English on the ledge. He
reported to Mrs. H. F. De Witt, the
resident manager, and they ran to
the nth floor. Mrs. De Witt said
they were admitted by Starr.
Attaches of the Italian Embassy,
attracted to windows and doors by the
screaming woman, told of seeing her
vainly attempting to reach the awning
rod. They said Mrs. English seemed
to be clutching something in her left
hand while she reached for the rod
with her right. This was believed by
police to have been the rings and other
jewelry found scattered on the side
walk in the hedge. One large diamond
was found in the middle of the street,
about 80 feet from where Mrs. English
landed.
Mrs. English came to Washington
from Hollywood, where she was a
well-known model, and married Lieut..
English o short time before he
assumed command of the Bear of
Oakland. When English brought
his ship to the Washington Navy
Yard last month and tied her up to
the booming of cannon, Mrs. English
rushed forward to clasp her returning
husband In her arms.
Detective Tolson, who worked on
the case all night, said he would re-
turn to the questioning today in an
attempt to clear up the many cir
cumstances, some Of them contrsdic-
tory, In the opinion Of police.

RETURN TO LEAGUE DISTANT.


Air Pact Il One Of Points Blocking
Germany's Decision.
BERLIN, June az R.-Reports
that Germany would return to the
League Of Nations as q result Of her
naval pact with Great Britain were
spiked today by a foreign ONCE spokes-
man, who said "Our return to Geneva
is by no means imminent"
Although political circles viewed the
naval accord as q tremendous success
for the Third Reich, the opinion pre-
vailed that other things must be
granted to Germany before her re-
entry into the League can be con-
sidered.
An air pact is one Of the points in
question. This was said to have been
placed before British statesmen dur
ing the recent naval conversations.
Regarded as significant, however, Is
the disappearance from German news
papers Of scathing editorials against
the League. This was generally inter-
preted as q silent preparation Of
domestic grounds for an eventual re-
turn to Geneva.
In the meantime, Germany locks
toward France for q conciliatory ges-
ture, which, 1t Is said, would hasten
q decision here.

ALASKAN CHARGES
Hopkins Aides Promise to
Supply Requested Data
Promptly.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate will look into food and
health conditions among Government
relief colonists at Palmer, Alaska.
Harry L. Hopkins aides indicated
he would furnish promptly a report
requested by the Senate yesterday
after Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan had read telegram from
two of the colonistS. The message
asserted that no houses or roads had
been built, that tools and Government
food had not been delivered and that
commissary prices were exorbitant.
Vandenberg also read a letter from
one of the colonls.s in which It was
said that nearly all of the 1000 set
tlers-transported to Alaska from
drought-stricken Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota farmS-were i'll and
that an epidemic was feared because
Of lack of medical supplies.
Data Promised Promptly.
Hopkins, relief administrator, de-
clined to comment, but his assistants
said the Senate's request for informa-
ton would be met promptly. Eugene
Carr, a rural rehabilitation official,
has been sent 10 Palmer to take
charge, they said.
Senators La Toilette, Progressive, Of
Wisconsin and Shipstead, Farmer
Labor, of Minnesota joined Vanden-
berg in the demand for report
After reading the telegram and letter,
Vandenberg said:
"It is not pleasant picture to
contemplate. The least we can do is
ask for reports to determine what the
facts are. Our hope is the request for
information will inspire added efforts
to amend the difficulties if they exist. "
Blaming most of the complaints on
the failure of shipment of lumber
to arrive, Lawrence Westbrook, head
of the rural rehabilitation division,
said that, despite difficulties, the set
tiers were still much better off than
they were before.
