CHICAGO OUTLAWS
DRIVEN TO COVER
Grand Jury in Active War on
Gangsters and "Liquor
Lords:
o. the Consolidated Press.

CHICAGO, October 11.-Scampering
for cover is the principal present oc-
cupation of those organized outlaws
who have given Chicago a worldwide
reputation as gang-ridden city.
This place for once is as tight as
a drum, while the king pins of the
booze racket duck hither and thither
trying to keep out of the way of the
Federal grand jury which is to meet
on Wednesday. With Uncle Sam
finally on their trail, the hoodlums,
who have been paying little heed
to local officials, are now less
debonair.
When the last grand jury returned
70 indictments against officials and
liquor lords of Cicero-the city within
the city of Chicago and habitat of
notorious bootleggers-the gangsters
thought that that probably would end
Federal activity.
Serves as Halt i'm Beer War.
Instead it now appears to be just
the start. And this Federal activity
has come just at time when leaders
of opposing beer organizations were
preparing for more war. They had
held a meeting in a downtown hotel
and disagreed. Police learned that Is
| machine guns had been distributed
and that trouble was imminent.
The Federal Government stepped in
just at the time local officials admitted
their inability to cope with the situa-
ton.
Charles Macdonald, a special in.
vestigator and prosecutor, had been
unable with Il series of grand iuries
to answer the question, "WhO killed
Assistant District Attorney McSwig-
gin, and why?" The Federal men say
that they already are a good way
along in answering that question,
which will probably solve much of
the riddle of gangSter immunity from
punishment.
Hits Police officials.
They also intimate that Is police
captains in Chicago and $50 police
men may come in for treatment by the
new Federal grand jury. Several per-
sons in county offices are likewise said
to he in for treatment.
Chief OF Police Collins declares that
there are only 40 or so men who
really are responsible for gang condi-
tionS here. His department knows
them and has had them under arrest
at various times. only to find that
they bear a strange immunity.
Federal investigators have been prv-
ing into this situation for a year or
more and just now are exploding their
ammunition. With each blast a. new
batch of officials and gangsters gets
a. had Jolt The investigators say that
the whole system here is honeycombed
with graft which extends from the
booze interests.
This interest on the part of national
officials had not been looked for. PeO-
Pile here are hoping that 1t means the
final cleaning out Of the whole local
mess.
