TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 1926 it “Wolf of La Salle Street” Suc- cumbs Today to a Stroke of Paralysis Atlanta, Ga., March 2.—,C®)— John Whitehouse Worthington of Chicago, known as the “Wolf of LaSalle Street,” died at the Atlanta federal penitentiary today, where he was serving a term for using the mails to defraud. Death was caused by paralysis. Worthington was brought to the peni- tentiary Owtober 10, to serve two years. He was suffering from dia- etes and a former paralytic stroke and had to be carried into the peni- tentiary. During six months’ confinement he was kept in the prison hospital and n special treatment for diabetes. His condition was thought to be im- proving, but the second stroke of paralysis this morning proved fatal. Funeral arrangements will not be completed until word is received from | Jane Allen, actress, is Worthington’s daughter. “After charges were made against him in Chicago he fled to Mexico, where he remained several years be- fore returnine voluntary to face the accusations. Due to his physical con-| dition, special efforts were made to obtain commutation of sentence. An! appeal was made to the United States attorney general to save him from the prison sentence, but all efforts} proved fruit! AMASSED MUCH WEALTH Worthington’s operations are esti- mated: to have netted him more than $2,500,000, ‘Atvone time he was head of a! chain of banks in Alabama; then he became a confidence operator and piled up a fortune from speculuuave ventures which eventually involved him with the government and caus ea his flight to Mexico, prison, Mr. Worthington directed that the bulk of his fortune go to his daughter, Mrs, Allen Pika, Chi- cago, known in moving picture circles as Jane Allen, and Mrs. John Rodgers of! New Rochelle, Long Island. An- other $200,000 was bequeathed to his granddaughter, Miss Helen Rodgers, and $26,000 to Dr. Ronald McKibben, , a Tos Angeles physician. j Warden John A. Snook of the fed-| erat Ligetaelerss & said the “wolf of) LaSalle street” had no visitors dur- ing «| imprisonment. ag i TODAY: | ® ® (Continued from page one) his Mesa land. “That grove,” says he, “will pay me yearly from five to eight hundred dollars per acre when! it gets started, and that’s more money than anybody ought to have, more. than I want.” Here in the West men do not con-/ sider themselves unhappy, unless they have too much money. W. B. Andrews lives at Fair Oaks, in the Sacramento Valley, where ‘Herbert Flenchacker's giant dredge tears up« rocks and sand, washing out the gold dust. He says with deepest convic- tion: “There is more happiness in these hills than anywhere else in the world; only some of us are getting too rich\-that’s our only trouble.” Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, typical of this western country, run an excel- Tent service station at Fair Oaks. Stop there when you visit the Sac mento Valley, and see one of Amer ica’s numerous “God's finest coun- tries.” Just east of Flagstaff, a little w ‘back, a lady living in a small unpaint- ed house had all her washing out on the line, shortly after the sun rose this morning, and it will be thorough- ly dry in this dry air long before noon. Then, aftes she has fed the men, there will b€ nothing to do be- fore preparing supper, except to iron the wash and put it away. You don’t know much.about life} if you pity her. Everything that she does is praised, every word she! says receives respectful attention. She is infinitely more happy than some New York woman that dauds her lips thick with red paint, then goes to “Bob’s” to buy for fifty dol- lars a pair, ten doliars an ounce, dancing slippers that will pinch her poor toes..

Brockton, Mass., March 2—(?)— Anthony Bimba, who was tried for blasphemy ger an _— ancient Massachusetts statute and for se- dition, won and lost in Plymouth county district court here today. Judge C. Carroll King, who pre- sided at the trial of the young Lithuanian editor last week, today found*him guilty on the sedition count, but not guilty on the blasphemy charge. A fine of $100 was imposed on the sedition conviction. The ma: imum penalty under the state law is a fine of $1,000 and three years imprisonment. An appeal was taken by Har Hoffman, counsel for the defe! ‘and Bimba was released on $500 bends. The charges were based on utterances at a meeting here Jan- uary 26. The court stated that in making | the finding of guilty on the sedition charge, it took into consideration the fact that in the main portion of his speech Bimba had kept within the limitations of the sedition but that his crime had been commit- ted in answers to “fighting ques- tions” put by the audience. Statement Uncalled For “It was shown in the evidence that the defendant said he himself did not believe in God” Judge King said in dismissing the blasphemy charge. “It is not certain that he said more. It seems apparent to most of us that there was no sense in his bringing this statement inté a protest against the Lithuanian government, but ap- parently it resulted from the fact as alleged in testimony that the Lithu- anian government is clerical. “Mr. Bimba somewhat naturally touched upon the-religious aspect of that government with the intent to show it up. He certainly was zeal- ous in this, He attempted to show the hypocritical attitude of that gov- ernment, and to show it acted irre- ligiously.” : “] do not hold that his statements as to personal religion played any rt in this case. I am content to Cara it that the defendant’s declara- le.
