Former Gan}:&ér “Gambled” $75,000 To Back Shepherd By the Associated Press DENVER, Colo., August mer Chicago gangster gave § “a pure gamble” to aid Willlam Dar- ling Shepherd in his successful fight against the charge of murdering Wil- liam Nelson McClintock, his million- alre foster son. He is Louie (“Diamond Jack”) Al- terie, once the lieutenant of Dion O'Banion, Chicago gangland chieftain, and now owner of a large ranch af Jarre Canyon, near here. The story is told by Willlam Scott Stewart, chief of defense counsel of Shepherd, who is here as Alterie's guest. Shepherd, although the chief legatee junder McClintock’s will, was able to raise but scant funds when he was ac- cused of killing his ward with typhold germs. Alterie, often sought and questioned in connection with Chicago gunmen's feuds and killings in beer runners’ wars, gave the money, says Stewart, as “‘a pure gamble.” If Shepherd won, he was to get the money back. c PEDESTRIAN RULE | week when t This map, prepared by The Star, with the co The small black dots represent near playgrounds. grounds and the round ones municipal STAR, WASHINGTO grounds.

Al- though the food eaten by the two men is being controlled, they are per- mitted to eat heartily at regular periods. e FAKE POLICEMAN BELIEVED CAUGHT Negro, Charged With Taking Bribes After Pseudo Arrests, Held for Trial. Search for the colored man who has been imposing upon motorists of Washington by impersonating a po- | liceman and by that means extracting bribes to “get off”” have ended, it was learned today, when a man said to be Hugh Harris Bunday, colored, was brought into court, charged on two counts of impersonating a policeman. After many complaints of motorists being fleeced by an unknown man, Kenneth P. Greenlow of No. 8 precinct took up the pursuit and Saturday ar- rested Bundy at Fourteenth and Park road. Because the complaint had come in from the boundary of the Second precinct, Bundy was turned over to them. In Police Court today he demanded a jury trial. Bond was fixed at $500. According to Policeman Greenlow, Roosevelt Brown of 1101 Pierce Court, and Joseph Tolson of 1547 Columbia street, both colored, occupants of a machine, were stopped Thursday at P street and New Jersey avenue by a colored man driving another car. They told Greenlow that the man stated he was a police officer and that they had been speeding and had failed to obey a stop sign. When asked for his badge the man is said to have stated that “that was all right,” and that if they gave him $5 he would let them go. They refused and the man drove off. The two men then went to Brown's home and were upstairs when the colored man rang the door bell down- stairs, to which summons Mrs. Ella Spencer, mother of Brown, answered. He told her that the two mén whom he had seen enter the house had violated the law, but being a colored policeman he would not bother to take two other members of his own race to the station house if she paid him $5. 1t is said that Brown came down stairs and when he again demanded to see a badge the man drove off. According to Policeman Greenlow, Brown and Tolson, both employes of the District Government, and Mrs. Spencer positively identified Bundy as the man. o g RENEP AT 1 School. Blazing Bootblack Suffers Severely From Chum’s Joke A practical joke on Edward Mitchell, a colored bootblack, em- pioyed at 1940 Fourteenth street, Saturday, got the alleged perpetrator, James M. Carter, also employed as bootblack at the same place, into court today. According to Policeman J. R. Jen- kins of the Trafic Bureau, who made the arrest, Carter entered the store and saw Mitchell asleep on the stand. Carter is said to have put some paste on the shoe of the sleeping youth and then to have set fire to it to awaken him. The sleeping boy was awakened suddenly and dashed up the street to Traffic Policeman Jenkins at Four- teenth and U streets, crying out that his foot had been burned up. Mitchell was treated by a doctor who lived nearby, and it was discovered that his foot was severely burned. Jenkins arrested Carter and placed a charge of assault against him. In Police Court today Judge Aukam continued the case until late this aft- ernoon. E. Y. DAVIDSON DIES. Business Trip. Edward Y. Davidson, jr., 27 vears old, son of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Y.

Uricle Sam is planning to get his due share out of the enormous profits made in Florida’s real estate boom. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Blair today let it be known that so great has been the increase in real e: tate activity in Florida that he had found it necessary to send into the State a large number of additio; deputy collectors and special internal revenue agents. According to preliminary reports al- ready in the hands of Commissioner Blair, he predicts this year will bring to the Government the largest amount of income tax from Florida that State has ever paid in its history. The extra force which the Govern- ment has thrown into the peninsula State will spread its activities through various channels, Commissioner Blair explained, in order to see to it that in- vestors and speculators who are mak- ing fabulous profits on transactions there pay all that is coming to Uncle Sam under the income tax law. Just how this extra force is operating, the commissioner declined further to ex- plain. It was understood that most of |the extra personnel, however, is con- | neqted with the coliector’s offices and deputy collector’s offices throughout the State. Income taxes from Florida in the last fiscal year ending June 30, 1925, were higher than those paid from that State for several years in the past. The figures back to 1920, however, in- dicate that there has been a slight slump In the income taxes in 1922 and 1928, but that beginning in 1924 there was an upward rise which, the Gov- ernment estimates, now will break all records during this year. Income tax figures from Florida for the last five years reveal fluctuations as follows: Nineteen twenty-one, $10, 108,053.94; 1922, $5,433,602.21; 1923, $6 338,119.40; 1924, $8,005,449.14; 1925, Pie Is Real Food, But Is Ranked as Entree, Not Dessert By the Associated Press CHICAGO, August 17 (#) Pie is a real food.

Succumbs in Ohicego Waile on| Souvenir Hunters Strip President’s Church in Plymouth of Hymnals By the Associated Press. PLYMOUTH, Vt., August 17.—As a result of the eagerness of tourists to i take souvenirs away from Plymouth, there was a shortage of hymnals and prayer books at Union Church here for the afternoon service yesterday, which President and Mrs. Coolidge at- tended. Church members said they once had an edequate supply, but it gradually- dwindled, under the tourists’ raids. The church, a white frame struc- ture directly across the road from the home of the President’s father, is left open through the week, and many autoists who come to Plymouth to see the Coolidge homestead do not leave until they have seen the inside of the church. The church service was conducted by the Rev. John White, an Episco- palian of Sherburne, Vt., who took this text for his sermon, from the Tenth Chapter of St. Paul's Episties to_the Corinthians: “There have been no temptations taken to you but such as are com- mon to ail men.” The pastor discussed temptations faced by mankind and the way they should be met, but made no allusion to the President's presence in the church.
