POLICE QUESTION
COL UMNIST IN
LABOR Staying
Predicted Ride Death
Before Assassination

MINNEAPO LIS, Nov. 10.
Police today questioned Cedric
Adams, Minneapolis newspaper
columnist, in the assassination of
Patrick j. Corcoran, 45-year-old
labor leader, who was found shot
to death in the rear of his home
early this morning.
A bullet in his head, Corcoran's
body was found by neighbors on
a sidewalk two doors from his
garage.
PREDICTED DEATH
Adams, we'll known in Mime
apolis labor circles, had published
the following paragraph in his
column November g:
MET a close friend of mine
in the Loop last night mo
vember 81. He told me and you
can take it for what its worth
A prominent labor leader in
Minneapolis will be taken for a
rice within two weeks"
Adams told police the friend"
from whom he got the information
is the head of one of the local
trucking unions. involved in the
1892 truck strike.
FLEEING WHEN SHOT
Police believe Corcoran arrived
home between 9 and 10 o'clock last
night, put his car in his garage
and locked the door. Walking to-
ward his house, they theorized, he
apparently saw his assassin or as,
saSsins and sought to escape by
running. His brief case was found
near his body, indicating he was
fleeing when shot down. In addi.
ton to the bullet wound, Corco-
rams skull was fractured, appar-
emily when he fell.
His son, Patrick, jr., told police
his father was slugged and shot at
last Saturday night. The dead
man was secretary-treasurer of the
teamsters council, an American
Federation Of Labor affiliate.

The Reason Why

From good source, however, the
dope is this: j. Austin Latimer,
personnel, actually isn't in po-
sition to give out the non-Civil
Service jobs over the 1890 level
allowed by the Housing Act. BY
December is he will be, however,
and there will be about $50 open
ings on the sugar list" to fill. :.
While he cannot personally talk
with the 100 or more showing up
each day at present, by next
month staff will be set up to
assist him: Then all applications
on file will be carefully scanned,
for political strength and other
wise, and those now being herd
ed" will get their chance to have
their say (if they're PERSISTENT -.
Incidentally, USHA won't go .
much trouble to peruse the appli-
cation list on file with PWA's Di-
rector of Employment, it is conf
dentially said.

HOW ONE WOMAN
LOST UGLY FAT
Lost Her Double Chin
Lost Her Prominent Hips
Lost Her Sluggishness
Gained in Physical VigOr
Gained in VivaciOusness
Gained a Shapely Figure

MANY a woman has spent hundreds
of dollars on fads and fancies trying to
reduce while others by sensible eating
and the Kruschen common sense method
have taken off many pounds Of ugly
fat for a few cents.
Take one-half teaspoonful of Krus-
chen Salts in glass of hot water flrst
thing every morning and cut down on
fat meats, butter, cream and rich pas
tries-in weeks get on the scales and
note how many pounds Of fat have
vanished.
Hundreds of satisfied users call this
the Kruschen Way.
, Notice also that you have gained in
energy-your skin is clearer--your eyes
sparkle. The Kruschen way has given
many a fat person a joyous surprise.
A 4-oZ. bottle of Kruschen lasts weeks
and costs but few CentS-if this first
bottle doesn't convince you that the
Kruschen Way is the easy, safe way to
lose fat--if you don't feel superb
improvement in health-vigorously
alive-years younger-your money glad
ly returned.
