ADJUSTMENTS
AT EAST LAKE

East Lake Park, Birmingham's
amusement mecca, is knocking all May
bathing records in the shade as the
month of brides appears in the oqing.
The mercury did bit of sky-probing as
May started to ebbing toward oblivion
and as a result the fair swimmers and
their escorts started to pouring to East
Lakes beach by the thousands. The
clear, pure, spring water, 100000 Of
it, pours through the bathing pool
daily, and this seems to have made q
big hit with the fans.
Then, too, that fact that the pool is
twice as larg as it was last season
with deep sectors for swimmers and
divers, and with Captain j. (Nick)
Seymour, the only licensed life-guard in
Alabama, in charge, has added to the
popularity of the place.
The IL big rides are doing a capacity
business daily now, with many church,
fraternal and family picnics being
staged at the popular summer resort.

AT EDGEWOOD PARK

The popularity of the Edgewood
swimming pool was attested by the
large crowds that took advantage of
the fine weather Wednesday to enjoy a
swim in the worlds largest and finest
pool. Come in, the waters fine" was
no catch phrase so far as the pool was
concerned Wednesday for the water was
delightfully."- cool and clear as crysal.
Dreamland pavilion also proved popu-
lar with the night crowd, the floor was
superb and the music, by the Dream
land Ramblers, all that could be desired
and almost every one stayed until the
closing hour and then were reluctant to
quit.
The paved motor road direct from the
heart of the city to the gates of the park
is an ideal drive and ample parking
space in the grounds is provided. Ade-
quate street car service is provided via
the South Highlands car line, making
Edgewood park easy to reach from any
part of Birmingham and district.

Los Angeles Sayings
Tied Up With Gigantic
Jewel Smuggling

NEW YORK, Nov. is.-Tiat New
York was used as a base by snug
gIers who operated on q gigantic
scale and flooded the country with
high priced jewelry on which not
q cent OF duty ever was paid, was
learned today when customs service
agents announced that they had
seized and identified gems worth
$25O,000 in half dozen parts of
the country.
It took two murders in Los
Angeles, the investigators said, to
supply the missing links in a chain
OF evidence that led 10 wiping on.
OF the smuggling ring, and to the
flight OF man named Medianski,
nov on his way 70 q foreign coun.
Try. He Is said 20 have been the
arch conSDtrator Of the ring. II
was. Medianslxy who brought the
smuggled jewels. here, revenue men
say. Detectives are in pursuit Of
him.
It was from this port that the
head Of the snugglers directed the
distribution and sale Of jewelry, it
was said.
. It was learned that gems by Mrs.
Theresa MORE, alleged TO have been
slain by Norman Selby, kid Mccoy;
were the first to be identified posi-.
lively. From that beginning agents
ran down other clues in Pacific
coast cities.
They found large quantities Of
jewelry In San Francisco and in
Los Angeles they said. Los Angeles,
where Mrs. MOrs had her home, sup
piled the greatest quantity.
Then the killing OF Harry I. Katx,
musician and diamond broker, in
Los Angeles on Monday night. un-
covered another trail, investigators
declared, and resulted In findinS
more 1ewelry which is on its way
TO this city for examination by
agents at work on the case.
Although nost OF the jewelry
smuggled into the country by Med
ianski and his confederates was
brought directly from Australia and
Germany, the origin OF many Of the
most valuable pieces has been
traced to Russia.
Victims of the conspiracy are said
by officials to number hundreds
scattered over the country. Gus
toms officials have seized ali the
jewelry they have found, but Il IL
said that probably as much more
will be uncovered. Innocent pur.
chasers' have sold It, given it away
or are wearing It, not knowing its
origin.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. Ia
Victims Of war among bootleggers.
according to police theory. Luis
Rosen, Twenty-Five, and his brother
in-law, Adolph Addison, 560S GainOr
road, Philadelphia, were murdered
early today in q garage In the rear
Of Rosen's new home. The home
Is Naid to have been purchased with

liquor.
The men were shot as they were
leaving the garage. Six shots were
fired, all Of which took effect.
In addition there vas q jagged
wound believed to have been caused
by q stilletto which had penetrated
Adelson's heart.
Police this morning were question.
ing man said 70 have been R0sen's
partner in distributing liquors. Police
are working on a theory that boot
leggers caused the killing. Rosen, a
baker, was said 70 nave given up
his business some months ago, and
in working up trade. to have inter.
ferred with the business of what IL
known as the Woodland avenue"
gang.
Addison, an income tax accountant,
with an office in the Finance Build.

Rosen's home.
He was not connected, according
to police theory, with the business,
but was the victim Of mistaken
identity. Police believe he was mis-.
taken in the dim light of early
morning for Rosen's partner.
The plans for the murder were
cleverly laid. In order that a get.
away might be effected without pur.
