FOOD BEGGAR BANKS MONEY DETROIT, Oct. 6. (AP)-An old man in ragged attire stopped a policeman yesterday and begged the price oi a bowl of soup. The officer recognized Gene- ter Adams, 65, as a familiar character. He has been arrested 25 times for begging since 1929.

At i headquarters, Adams found carrying $529 in cash and a bankbook showing deposits of S5.226. As he was led off to a cellblock, Adams said, "I hope I'm not too late for lunch." DARK PICTURE Jake Guzik Paints Self. As a Knight Chicago Tribune Service I A Oct. 6. Jake (Greasy Thumb 1 Guzik, 71, vet.

eran syndicate hoodlum, tried hard during a legal action yesterday to portray himself as a white knight battling the forces of evil. The picture got smudged. The Capone era gang lord made the attempt during two hours of questioning for a deposition in connection with his complicated court fight against Benjamin F. Lindheimer, executive director of Arlington Park Race Track. Months aeo, Guzik filed suit to compel Lindhe-imer to permit him to examine the track's books on he is a stockholder.

Earlier yesterday the hoodlum asked Superior Court Judge Donald S. McKinlay to dismiss the suit, but the judge refused. Counter Claim by Track The deposition was taken by John B. Martineau. attorney for the i race track, to support a counter' claim filed in Superior Court yes-! terday alleging that Guzik, be- cause of his past record, is not qualified to own stock in the track.

Guzik's brief fling at the white knight came when he toid Martineau of having heen barred from the race track last year after he had bought 300 shares of its stock. He said he first knew of the i barring action six or seven days after he had visited the track with a "friend" and had attempted to see Lindheimer. "I read in the papers that I'd been barred. 1 said. "After that publicity, I started getting a lot of phone calls telling me of a Tat of defalcations at the track." Turned To Him The callers, Guzik implied, were afraid they would get in trouble if they tried to look into the situation on their own, so they turned to him.

He said that is why he filed his original law suit. Martineau promptly bore down OB Guzik. He asked, "Do you think it would help racing if you and your associates were allowed to run the track?" Guzik refused to answer. "Isn't it true that your presence on the board of Arlington Race Track would be highly detrimental to racing?" Martineau askeri. Joseph E.

Green, one of Guzik's two lawyers, whispered to Guzik, "Absolutely not." Guzik told Mar tineau. "Absolutely not." Guzik later denied that he wants to run the track, said he wouldn't buy 1,000 more shares o( it for $3, and asserted he never has asked track operators for a dollar. "Not yet, anyway," said Martin-; eau. "How do you like that?" Guzik said in an injured tone to his lawyer. Refuses To Answer Tne hoodlum spent most of his time refusing to answer hundreds of questions about his past, and present life "on grounds I might incriminate myself." Martineau read off the names of scores of Chicago hoodlums and racketeers, past and present, and asked Guzik if he knew or had had dealings with them.

Guzik refused to answer, hut became more and more heated as the list unrolled. "I wonder why you haven't got Jesse James there?" Guzik finally demanded. His own lawyer said, "They haven't come to the J's yet." Guzik reluctantly admitted he has been arrested "a great many times," but asserted it always was I "on the same nonsense you are asking me now." i Fort Worth-Dallas Turnpike Work Gets Underway FORT WORTH.
