OF
VIC. T.U. GIVEN
BY PRESIDENT
World Prohibition, World
Purity, World Peace Are
Sought, Miss Gordon Says
MUST KEEP ACTIVE

Chicago, Nov. 14.-(By the A. P.)-
World prohibition, world purity and
world peace are the detectives of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Un-
ion, according to the opening address
of Anna Gordon, World and National
President Of the organization, before
the Golden Jubilee convention here
today.
"The work of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union is just be-
ginning" said Miss Gordon. "The
electorate of the United States needs
to know the truth about the benefits
of prohibition and we must more and
more persistently circulate the con-
firming evidence. Many good friends
Of the Eighteenth Amendment, be-
cause uniformed, fail to treat it
fairly.
"While tolerant of those who hon
estly hold on prohibition a different
opinion from our own, we need Wig
orously to oppose rum runners, boot
AC6SCAo ohu hSAt VI hhS tHS
personal flouters Of Americas white
law of economic supremacy and NOR
al leadership.
"Crowd out the hip-pocket flask
with the truth about alcohol as al
ready known through experience and
experiment" urged Miss Gordon.
"There must be a new and vigorous
campaign for total abstinence" she
declared. "This complex and electric
age calls imperatively for sobriety in
the individual. Alcohol is not the
stimulant needed by automobile driv-
ers and industrial workers. Safety
first requires total abstinence"
Recommendations made by Miss
Gordon included a series Of border
conferences to aid in preventing
bootlegging and rum running. Miss
Gordon urged that the advantage Of
prohibition over state control be
made pre-eminent feature of the
program and discussed by experts.
She also recommended that 10000
young men and 10000 young women
be enrolled in the Young Peoples
Branch.

CHICAGO PAYS
FINAL TRIBUTE
Thousands at Funeral For
Dion O'BanniOn. Slain
Leader, Being Held Today
POLICE DRAW LINES
Order Arrest of Every Sus-
pccted Gunman in War on
Chicago Gangland

Chicago, Nov. l4.-tBy the a. P.)-
Gangland today paid its final tri-
butte to Dion O'Bannion, florist and
high jacker, slain Monday while he
trimmed the flowers in his shop
while the police, under order of May
or Dever and Chief Collins. began a
drive to disarm every gunmaD in Chi
cago.
His family and friends, denied the
right to hold a Catholic church SER
vice, planned ceremony in the un-
dertaker's chapel where thousands
have passed his body, laying in
state. Floral decorations represent
ing thousands OF dollars we're sent BY
underworld characters, city and coun.
ty officials and former associates of
the dead gang leader. The orders to
arrest any suspected gunman came
after Mayor Dever had been inform
ed that spectators at the O'BanniQn
inquest, held in police station, had
been terrorized by friends Of the
leader and that the dead mans
clothes disclosed several pockets for
his three ever-ready pistols.
Held Test
1T is time to determine whether
organized outlaws shall continue to
shoot and rob with impunity or
whether decency and order will pre-
vail" the Mayor said, referring to
the assertion of Louis Altierie,
O'Bannion's lieutenant, that he would
"shoot it out" with the leaders if he
could meet them.
Until the hour Of the funeral the
line Of men and women. representing
all classes and conditions Of life,
continued to stream past N,e bronze
casket of the florist gunman. Some
in threadbare garments timidly add
ed their poor boquets to the preten-
tious floral display the affluent had
sent.
Some Praise Him
One gray-haired and bent old wo-
man shufflcd by with the crowd. To
those who watched at the bier she
spoke Of the dead gangster's friend
ship.
"Hc put my boy on the right track
at the right minute" she said. Got
him a good job in an office and gave
him q fine suit of clothes to lit the
job. If his enemies had known him
the way | did he would be alive to-
day"
Gee. he was swell feller," was Il
ragged ncwsboy's tribute. He
bought all my papers one cold night
last winter and paid 81 for EN- and
then took me to Il restaurant to eat.
Police investigation of the killing
had made no further announced pro-
gress and the latest suspects ques-
toned were released.
O'Bannion's funeral today was
looked forward to as the greatest in
Chicago's history, even surprising
that yesterday of Micheal Merlo,
friend of O'Bannion and leader of the
Unione Sicillian when 1000 automo-
bilcs, 25 of them carrying only flow
ers, formed the cortegc from the
church where 10000 persons had
gathered for the last rites.
