THE EVENING LEGISLATURE ACTS | T0 PAY TEACHERS Cook County Given Right to Collect Incomes From De- linquent Property. By the Assoclated Press. SPRINGFIELD, IIl, April 28—A new hope for financial relief went out to Chicago’s army of unpaid school teachers today as a result of action by the Illinois General Assembly. The Senate early today passed and sent to Gov. Henry Horner for his sig- nature, a House bill designed to force delinquent tax collections in Chicagn and thereby break a tax strike which has been regarded as one of the main stumbling blocks in the city’s road back to financial stability. ‘The measure gives the Cook County treasurer authority to appoint receivers for properties on which taxes are de- linquent, and to collect incomes there- from. It was championed by Mayor Ed- ward J. Kelly of Chicago. The Cook County treasurer, Joseph McDonough, said he would put its provisions into effect next Monday. Its approval by the Governor today was regarded as certain. TEACHERS SPU LUNCHEON. CHICAGO.

Every fact and every clue necessary to its solution are in the story itself—and there is only one answer. How good a detective are you? Fordney's Young Friend Spots a Clue. BY H. A. RIPLEY. ET me tell you how my little friend, Irving Castenbaum, actually spotted an important clue before the police recog- nized its significance,” Prof. Fordney told his laboratory assistant. “Young Irving, with burning ambi- tion to be a criminologist, sneaked be- hind the homicide squad into a Bronx fiat. Peering around the bulk of Dete tive Sergt. McAllis- ter, he saw & man lying on a blood: stained bed. Be- neath his outflung right hand a re- volver lay on some feathers which strewed the floc: “After the hot cide routine, Detec- tive McAllister brought in Mrs. Finkel, the land- lady, the only eye witness to the tragedy. ““ ‘About 9:10, she said, ‘a man asked for Mr. Lane, the dead boarder. His tions were somewhat suspicious, so. after showing him to the room, I listened outside the door. Hearing loud, angry voices, I opened it a trifle just as Lane ran to the bed, grabbed a revolver from beneath the pillow and fired. He missed and before he could fire again the visitor shot him in the head. Lane dropped his gun and fell dead on the bed. Then the stranger frantically tore the feather pilldws to pieces and flung them about as if searching for some- thing. He even slit the mattress before he caught sight of me and ran down the fire escape off Lane’s room. I'm sure he didn't find what he was looking for,’ she concluded. “McAllister apparently accepted the story when Irving piped up with: ‘It shouldn’t have happened that way! Bee i HOW DID IRVING KNOW THE ‘WOMAN WAS LYING? Perhaps yow have a story or problem you would like to submit to Prof. Ford- ney. If so, send it to him in care of this paper. He will be delighted to receive it. (For_Solution See Page A-12.) SPECIAL NOTICES. T WILL NOT BE RESP debts other than my ow formerly 632 A st. n.e. i ANNUAL MEETING OF LDER!

Covers were laid for 12 in a pivate dining roora at the Union League Club, but the teachers indicated they might be under obligations if they took lunch- eon with the financiers. Bankers Wait in Vain. One by one the bankers took their seats—Charles G. Dawes, chairman of the City National Bank; Solomon A. Smith, president of the Northern Trust; Melvin A. Traylor, president of the First National; Howard T. Fenton, president, and Frank McNair, vice president, of the Harris Trust & Savings Bank, and James R. Leavell, president of the Con- tinental Illinois National Bank & Trust Co. ! ‘They waited for 20 minut| Then a rap on the door and two of the invited guests walked in—Howard Smith and Milton Raymer, emissaries from the school teachers. “We are sorry we can't have lunch with you,” Raymer addressed the six bankers. “We shall be happy to meet you in the board room of any bank. We are going back to the City Club, where our full committee awaits us and plans to eat lunch.” Burst in On Banks. Twice this week the militant teach- | ers have burst unannounced into lobbies and offices of the “big five” loop banks, serenaded the bank president with derisive songs, and in several instances forced the bank presidents, for the sake of peace and order, to give them a brief audience. The teachers insisted the banks must buy more school board tax anticipation warrants and furnish the cash for their back pay. The banks answered that as soon as tax collection laws were strength- ened and normal flow of tax money into the public treasuries resumed they would go the limit in purchasing warrants, not before, WOULD C!
