CHICAGO'S VICE
KING MURDERED
Jim CoIOsimo Shot Down in
LeVee Cafe.

CHICAGO, May 12-Search for the
murderer of James (Big Jim) Colosimo,
long the chief power in Chicago's under
world and reputed to be "King Of the
BIackhand' here was conducted today
with two theories as to the motive for
the crime leading numerous other reasons
advanced for the Staying.
These were that Colosimo, who was
shot down late Tuesday in his cafe in
the heart of the old levee district, was
either the victim of relatives of the
Sicilian wife he divorced to marry Dale
Winter, a cabaret singer, three weeks
ago, or that he was slain by friends OF
Maurice (Moss) Enright, chief of Chi
Cages gunner. who was murdered sew
erai weeks ago in a labor feud.
Colosimo was said TO have been q
heavy contributor to a fund raised for
the defense of Enright's alleged muir
derers, several Of whom are Italians.
One Of their number, James Vinci, is
now on trial here.
Three brothers Of the divorced Mrs.
Cclosimo, one an ex-convict and another
a reputed dope user" were taken IN
1stody early today and closely ques-
toned. the police having in mind the Gus
tomary manner of satisfying a desire fol
revenge among Sicilians.
The brothers are said to have quar-
relied with COlosimo, following his di-
vorcing of his first wife, who married
Colosimo when he was a street sweeper
snd helped him through a lurid and
dubious career to a position of supreme
power in the city's underworld.
The murder caused a sensation
throughout Chicago.
Colosimo's cafe is known throughout
the country, and is practically all that is
left of Bohemian life in Chicago.

 The first session lasted only little more than an hour. and while the court will meet again tomorrow, no further witnesses have yet been summoned
 General Barnett told the court that his charge of "indiscriminate killing of na- tives in Haiti, which prompted the in- quiry, had been based on the-record of the court martial of two marine corps privates, Walter E. Johnson and >John McQuilkin, Jr. He corrected a previous announcement that total of 3,250 natives had been killed in action or otherwise during the five years of American occu- patton of the republic, explaining that an error in addition made in the histor- ical section of the~corps resulted in this announcement. He had learned since, he said, that the total was 2,250.
 Major Mcclellan, in whose office the casualty list was compiled, submitted a. table showing the recorded number of bandits killed. He said that very few had met death otherwise than in action. Native casualties in 1915, the first year of the occupation, were placed at 22l those in 1916 at 50; in 1917, g. in 191S 35; in 1919, 1861, and in 1920, 90.

Washington, October H.--The non-par- tisan political campaign committee of the American Federation of Labor, headed by Samuel Gompers, issued statement tonight declaring that reaction is doing it's best to conceal and evade" the par amount issues of the campaign No thinking American, the statement said, could fail to see the issues which were defined as follows:
 The League of Nations, Protection of the people against the profiteers; re- latlon Of government to the aspirations of the workers; use of the injunction as means of compelling workers to obey the will of employers; the high cost of living; esta blishment of arbitrary tri- bunals and boards to coerce the workers, suppress theri normal and legitimate ac- tivities and clog the processes of indus try by artificial methods; the right of workers to organize for mutual advance ment and development and to withdraw their service when terms and conditions of service are oppressive
 The statement reiterated the commit tees previous indorsement of Governor Cox and the democratic platform and concluded:

casualty list last year was due to at tacks in force by the bandits on Port Au Prince and to the campaigns con- ducted in the hills
 General Barnett said he wanted 1t made clear that his letter 10 Colonel John H. Russell in which the reference was made to 'indiscriminate killings of natives, was based only on the record of the trial of privates Johnson and McQuilkin. He added, however that the statement Of counsel and testimony in those cases. so shocked him that he directed further in- vestigation. He recited that 'by indis- criminate killing" he did not mean 'promiscuous" killings, but rather, lex ecutoins without"
 General Barnett saia he had two req sons. The, first that he had already written an official letter to Secretary Daniels covering the case. The second was he did not want to become public property

 Replying to questions of Maj. Jesse F. Dyer, judge advocate of the court, Bar nett said he had no personal knowledge of any improper acts by the marines and he knew nothing of alleged unlaw ful executions of natives until he read the reports of the two cases he referred to in the letter 10 Colonel Russell.
 One other case, that of Captain Hamil- ton, now a lieutehant,' he said left a bad taste in my mouth, although the officer had. beent acquitted by court mar tiai' Fear that there might have been cases in which excesses were committed and the culprit not brought to justice, he said, was another reason for the con- letter to Colonel Russell, al- though so far as he knew all cases of improper conduct of marines in Haiti had been brought to trial.

ISSUE OF LEAGUE
 IS ABOVE PARTY,
 ROOSEVELT SAYS
Says Cox Will Be Elected Be- cause He FaVors the United States Going Into the
 League
By Associated Press

l Baltimore, Md, October 27.-Asserting that the League of Nations issue was above party, and involved not only the honor but the future prosperity of the country, Franklin D. Roosevelt predicted Ill an address before large audience in the Richmond market armory here to- night that Governor Cox would be elected because he favored going into the iague,
 the carrying out of the great moral pur- pose for which we entered the war"
 He also criticised Senator Harding for his reactionary record as a legislator. praised the administration of Governor Cox in Ohio, which, he said was rec ord of progressive achieyement,' and took issue with Governor Coolidge for his recent statement that one of the prin- cipal issues this year is whether our government shall or shall not be gov ernment of laws and not of men.
 MT. Roosevelt arrived here from Cum berland, where he addressed two large outdoor meetings in a drizzling rain. [,
 Referring to Coolidges statement, he said in part:
 "A goverr of laws only has never succeeded and can never succeed. The constitution itself, which MT. Coolidge so often refers to. is incomplete and al- ways has been. It depends for it's suc- cess on the interpretation of that docu- ment and it's application to existing cir cumstances to human beings"
 MT. Roosevelt severely criticised Sem ator Harding for his alleged "wiggle- wobble policy on the league, stating that 'ncne of the great men of our history achieved fame or success by trying to carry water on both shoulders"
 ,. dent of the United States should be strong, unselfish, fearless man, one who already has had training in an ad- ministrative position.
