Died. Colonel Albert Arnold Sprague, 69, wholesale grocer (Sprague Warner-Kenny Corp.), onetime "generalissimo" of Chicago's anti-crime committee, power behind Mayor Anton J. Cermak's short lived civic-reform drive (which ended in 1933 when Cermak was killed by an assassin's bullet intended for Franklin D. Roosevelt); in Chicago...

All White House reporters were on the train a quarter-mile away. Henry ran the quarter-mile, gave them a thorough fillin, saved their jobs to a man. Kannee last week resigned his $6,000-a-year position to get "considerably more" as assistant to Chairman-President James...
