...light, not Wet, not a Dry, with a wife, son, daughter, pipe, radio, three-year-old automobile. Average Mr. Gray visited Chicago last week. There he bought a picture postcard of his hotel, marked his window with a "X," mailed the card home. He wanted to see the Chicago park system, stock yards, municipal pier "and that stadium where the Dempsey-Tunney fight was held." He said: "Greatest American? Lindbergh, undoubtedly. Next President ? Oh, probably Charley Hughes. Locarno pact? What's that?" Hearst Editor Arthur Brisbane took occasion to flay Mr. Gray: "He never reads the foreign news, just goes...
...Grace Levine and Eloyse Levine, aged 9, arose at 5 a.m. and, leaving Ardeth Levine, aged 1, in the Levine home at Rockaway Park, L. I., joined Handshaker Whalen on the tug Macom.

Famed in reportorial annals was his interview with the train engineer 23 years ago after the disaster in the old train tunnels under Park Avenue, Manhattan. Out of his interview grew the movement that eventually rebuilt that haughty thoroughfare. Mr. Watson has been working since he was 13; has been with the new York American for about a quarter of a century; was its managing editor. He has served Mr. Hearst in many a capacity, likes to be called "special crusader...
...preliminaries of a murder trial began last week in Cincinnati. For George Remus, once potent bootleg boss, later a convict, they were poison. They had shot dead his wife, Emogene, in a public park. Now he had to produce evidence that it was not first-degree murder. He sought to take depositions from 75 witnesses in various cities- including Attorney General Sargent and Roy A. Haynes- to show that he had killed to elude a plot against his own life and property. For another man, 'Legger Remus preliminaries were meat. He, Charles Phelps Taft II, lanky...
