 CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The gangs and gunmen, the sluggers and the thugs, the beer barons and the burglars have replied to the outburst of public indig- nation against organized vice in Chicago, by a still greater outburst of crime which seems to mock the efforts of the police to combat it.
 On top of this the gentry of the under world has crowned another king, the throne having become vacant with the violent death several days backs of Dean O'Brannion, the artist in crime who did little business in flowers on the side.
 The new king is little Johnnie Torrio, native of Italy, Tammany gradu- ate, and a postgraduate of the late Big Jim" Colosimo college of crime. Johnny learned the tricks of ward politics in New York and the rewards of sin in the old Twenty-second street district
 Chief Issues Denial
 Simultaneously with the coronation ceremonies, it became rumored about the city that Chief of Police Collins, not having made good, ought to take off his badge, put on his hat and walk out Where the rumor originated no one knows. But it gathered sufficient mo- mentum to elicit denial from the chief and a charge that it was the vice kings that were behind the move.

TRADE RECOVERY SEEN BY HOOVER
Boost In Farm Prices Aided Boom, Says
 Secretary

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The ad- vance in agriculture prices, the begin ming of sound policies in German repa- rations and the recovery of American industry, aside from agriculture, were characterized as the three outstanding features of the last fiscal year in a review of business conditions made pub lie today by Secretary Hoover. While there was some slackening in activity in some lines during the latter part of the fiscal year the report said there has since been a complete recovery.
 ''The increasing stability in agricul- ture," the secretary said, lis further marked by the fact that wholesa.e prices, while in large part due to gen. eral world economic readjustment and to settlement of European economic conflicts, has been favored to some de- gree by local and special causes such as the decrease in corn crop and the fact that the abnormal world wheat crop of 1923 swung over to a slightly subnormal crop of 1924"

 Mayor Dever says that he stands solidly behin the. chief f police and pats him on the back with the statement that crime is being fought here with greater intensity than ever before.
 < 1000 Are Rounded Up
 While the flowers were still fresh on the grave of O'Bannion, Chief Collins set to work with gusto to rid the city of its gunmen. Over the weekend 1000 men were removed from the underworld to jail cells. Hundreds of them were arrested for carrying concealed weapons, others were arrested because of their general regulations.
 But the answer to this move was somewhat discouraging, for the crim- inals did their stuff over the weekend as usual.
 Underworld specialists in safe blow ing staged party at the Northside cafe and secured $12,000 in cash. A few steps away they robbed a jewelry store, taking about $13.0Q0 in diamonds and in the same neighborhood a clothing store was relieved of a truck load of silks. In addition there were scores of holdups, sluggings, less important rob- berries and mysterious shootings.

A Letter From REV. E..C. LEE.
Formerly Pastor of West Enc Cumberland Presbyterian Church

Formerly Pastor of West End Cumberland Presbyterian Church MT. A. A. POindexter, City,
 Dear Sir:
 I have had indigestion for years and no doubt spent over one thou sand dollars to get relief. 1t had gone into Catarrh of a very bad form and the prospect of recovery seemed hopeless. One day was as- cOsted by MT. POindexter, who had become very much interested in my success as 8 minister. He told me what POindexter's Golden Seal Tonic would do for me with all the earnest ness of his heart.
 Faith caused me to act and when I had taken the first bottle mo- ticed remarkable change. Ten bottles cured mo and put twenty pounds of flesh on me. am now enjoying better health than in twen- ty-five years.

 blackheads and skin eruptions! D ONT CLOSE your eyes to the N warning which Nature gives when angry, painful boils appear on your neck, face or other parts of your body. Boils, pimples and so-called skin disorders are the re- suit of an impoverished condition of the blood and are not to be trifled with.
 It is nothing more than folly to expect to get absolute relief from the use of local treatments, such, as ointments, salves, etc. Su ch remedies may afford temporary re- lief but you want more than re- lief: you want remedy which will rid you forever of the tortur- ing disorders. And the one remedy which has no equal is S.S.S.
 S.S.S. stops boils and keeps them from coming. S.S.S. builds blood power! That is what makes fight ing blood. Fighting blood destroys impurities. It fights boils. It fights skin eruptions-pimples, black heads, eczema! It always wins! S.S.S. has been known since 1926 as one of the greatest blood build. CTS, blood cleansers and system strengtheners ever produced. There are no unproven theories about S.S.S., the scientific results of each of it's purely vegetable medicinal ingredients are admitted by authorities. Begin taking S.S.S. today and clear your skin of those blood disorders!
