The peril in which her lover finds
himself now has but served to
strengthen the bonds.
Tom Gunn left this country some
time ago as head of the Chinese army
aviation corps, upon invitation of
General Lan Tien Wei while the lat
ter was visiting here. Before Gunn
reached the Orient, however, the ad
ministration changed in China and
instead of being received as a hero,
he had a price placed upon his head.
Yuan Shi Kai feared that Gunn was
one of a conspiring body of Celestial
aviators who were believed to be
planning the destruction of Peking by
bombs. Gunn has been active in con
nection with Dr. Sun Yat Sen and
other Chinese revolutionists.

COPS TO GET IMMUNITY
Immunity for the cops who "come
through" with what they know about
police graft was promised by State's
Attorney Hoyne in a statement yes
terday. He also offered to go before the
civil service body and ask that such
a policeman be not punished for his
misdoings.
He said that he had often been
misquoted by the press of the city,
but repeated his charges, "that the
detective bureau is rotten" and "the
higher up you go the rottener it
gets."
Hoyne said that he would give a
policeman the same proposition as he
offered all crooks. If he would
"squeal," Hoyne would see that he
was not punished.
It is rumored that a lieutenant of
the police who is at present "on a fur
lough" has been supplying informa
tion to Hoyne as to police corruption.
