Last night at the stroke of midnight Patrolman Dionne was about to enter the police station when he saw something in front of the door. It proved to be a little basket made of pink crepe paper. In the basket reposed a half dollar to which was attached a shipping tag which read: "Will the finder please see that Officer Dionne gets this as final payment for the cleaning." Some of the words were written in black ink and the remainder in red. The signature K. K. K. was on the tag. Patrolman Dionne stated that he wished to express his appreciation for the half dollar and that he would be glad to send a receipt if he knew where to send it.

PAYS THE 50 CENTS TO PATROLMAN Officer Dionne Wants to Send Receipt But Is Unable to Do So Last Saturday Patrolman Louis Dionne received through the mail a letter enclosing a dollar stating that the money was to pay for the cost of cleaning his uniform which was soiled when he waded through the mud to extinguish a blazing cross on Linden road. The letter was signed K. K. K. The cost of cleaning the uniform was $1.50 and Patrolman Dionne let it be known that somebody still owed him a half dollar.

Anyone else have the experience of talking to your teens about marijuana and them saying it has become “lame” because “everybody does it now and they all think they’re cool & unique but really they are just like every other kid w a weed pen or doing gummies like a middle age mom?”
Comes to Find East St. Louis Kin (Continued from Page One) ored material and carried a beaded bag. A pink ribbon was threaded through his coiffure. A bracelet, a lavalier and a strand of pearls completed the outfit. His finger nails were trimmed and polished like a woman’s. “My real name is Earl Fritz,” said the masquerader. “I am a female impersonator in theatrical work and have been doing this for the past few months, after I lost a job as a professional dancer at Rockford. “I worked for a time in a country store in northern Illinois and then I went to Chicago and went on the stage. The road show left on a tour of the Southwest and I left them. Then I went to Rockford. I got another job a few months ago as a female impersonator on a vaudeville circuit.
“I wanted to find my brothers and sisters who live in East St. Louis and I came here to look for them. I never did hard work, and the only thing for me to do was to get a woman's job. I found employment as waitress at the Nugent lunch counter.” Fritz said he had two bags of male clothing in hs room. He is confined in a separate cell in the women’s division at police headquarters, since the men prisoners did not relish the idea of having a man in woman’s attire among them. “I wish my relatives in East St. Louis would come here and get me out of this,” said Fritz on Saturday. “This is horrid.”
"This is horrid."
Comes to Find E. St. Louis Kin But Winds Up in Jail As Impersonator of Female Earl Fritz, 20, of Elgin, Ill., who says he has brothers and sisters in East St. Louis, wanted to be a woman but was foiled by St. Louis detectives. As a result he is in a cell at St. Louis police headquarters today. And all because his Adam's apple is too prominent or maybe the knuckles of his lily-white hands are too big. Or possibly he uttered a bass note when it should have been soprano. When Detectives Schenck and Dougherty of the West Side went into the basement of the department store of B. Nugent & Brothers to quench their thirst with a mint julep at the lunch counter, a dizzy blonde came up to wait on them. The sleuths watched the waitress as she delivered the order. Maybe they watched too closely. Anyway, they smelled a rat. "What's your name?" asked one of the detectives. "Now don't get naughty and I'll tell you," said the alluring blonde. "It's Jean Mash." "Sounds like moonshine to me," muttered Detective Dougherty under his breath. "Are you a man or a woman." And he flashed his badge. Miss Mash's Adam's apple gave a sharp jerk up and down. She clenched her fist and the knuckles bunched up not like a dizzy blond's should. "I'm a man," she confessed. "Tell it to headquarters," announced the detectives. While being booked on a charge of impersonating a female, "Miss Mash" told his story to police. "She" made a pretty picture. From "her" high-heeled, patent leather pumps to the beautiful blond wig that cost $95, the masquerader looked the part of a chorine. The prisoner wore a dress of blue-col— (Continued on Page Two)

MRS. TITONI HITS SLAYER OF HUSBAND Weeping Slayer of Brother Saved From Injury at Sister-in-law’s Hands by Prompt Action of Police Prisoner Hustled Out Back Door and to Jail; Weeps Sorrow for Act in Cell, Grieving for Brother BERKELEY, April 17. — The wish of an accused fratricide to gaze on the dead face of the brother he slew with a shotgun last Wednesday was denied today by the tigress-like attack of the murdered man's widow, who flew at the throat of her brother-in-law. The police rescued their prisoner from the shrieking and fighting woman and rushed him out of the rear entrance of the deputy coroner's office.
