Although Chairman La Follette made the point emphatically that the investigation thus far, particularly as it affects the Pinkerton agency, is merely preliminary, the following gen- eral facts about that concern's activ- ities and policies were brought out: 1. That the firm’s income has been ranging slightly above yearly during the depression years, and net profits of $185,000 were distributed in the form of dividends last year | to the three family owners. Of this amount, R. A.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26. — A eohnd moron was hunted today as the most likely suspect in the attack and ate tempted slaying of Miss Alda Deery, 23-year-old vaudeville actress, who was beaten, criminally assaulted and left unconscious yesterday in a hotel ;o;m to which the. intruder had set The victim was in a serious condi- tion at the County Hospita! today, suffering from a severe concussion of the brain and pneumonia, which set in because of her exposure after the | attack. Dr. Albert Stein said Miss Deery was slightly improved, but showed in- dications that peulrisy might be added to the other complications. Prosecutor Mal Coghlan asked the police to search the Loop and South Side for possible colored suspects, basing his request in part on the fact that of three slayings under similar circumstances in recent months, one was committed by a colored man now under sentence and that another col- ored man was waiting trial for the second. The third killing remains un- solved. Dr. Stein said Miss Deery still was unable to recall what happened to her after her return to her room on the fifth floor of a Loop hotel yesterday morning following her visit to a tavern with a friend the pight before. She was attacked about 4:30 am. Her assailant had tied one of her stockings around her neck, apparently in an effort to strangle her. Before fleeing he set fire to her clothing and those of her roommate, in a closet. It was the fire that saved her life. The smoke attracted other persons to the room, who.removed the knotted stocking. Police said they believed Miss Deery’s assailant picked up a. brick, which was found between the mat- tresses on her bed, and with it climbed | & fire escape and entered her room. Slayers of the other women had used & similar weapon. Miss Deery’s roommate and fellow troupe member, Miss Dorothy -Ryan, was out of the room when the attack occurred, Miss Ryan furnished a more coher- ent story that Miss Deery came in about 4 a.m., entered the room of Joe Morris, Jeader of the troupe, whom | Miss Ryan was visiting, and then went to her own room. Miss Ryan said Miss Deery fell onto her bed, fully dressed. Miss Ryan returned to Morris’ room, she said, and fell asleep while reading. About an hour later she awoke, smelling smoke. Running into her own room she found Miss Deery un- conscious and their clothes afire, WILBERT T T e T author of the current best-seller,"Young Men in Spats,” tells an hilarious yam about Britain's moustache-growing gen- Treasure” is the name, and it's just one long laugh from be- gitining t0 end.
