SCHOOL MATTERS
DISCUSSED AT
ROTARY LUNCH
SECRETARY READS TELE.
GRAM INVITING FRATER'
NAL ORDER TO HOLD CON
vENTIoN HERE

The necessity of bonding the
county for 100000 to be used in
building, repairing and improving
the public schools of Monroe
county was discussed by Superin-
tendent Melvin Russell at the Ro-
tary Club luncheon today.
Mr.. Russell went into detail ex-
planning the ways and means in
which the money will be spent
One building is to be devoted TO
science laboratories, commercial
department, manual training de-
partment and room for a gym
nasium.
Another building is to be devot-
ed to a kindergarten. Extensive
repairs are also needed on the
present standing school buildings,
he also stated.
Key Largo is calling for schools,
the small school now being used
being quite inadequate for the
present needs Of the Key.
The school grounds of the public
schools, too, are inadequate, SUI
perintendent Russell said.
Florida is on the verge of a new
development, and new standards
have been set for the schools in
the state, which means new ma
teriaIs.
This makes it necessary to
spend SIS, 900 to $4,000 in maps,
dictionaries and other materials
to come up to requirements.
As progress has only begun, we
should make preparations for the
FUTURE Superintendent Russell
stated.
Arthur Gomez stated that it was
necessary t.aat the funds. for the
building and Improvement of the
schools be segregated so that peo-
pie could be advised relative to
the specific purpose for which the
the bonds viii be spent.
Among the guests present were
Emory Pierce of the Pierce Hard
ware Company, DR.. William Keat-
ing. Robert Austin, of the Key
West Foundation Company. and
Mr. Morris of the First Abstract
Company.

Chicago Launches Energetic
Campaign Against Gangsters
LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES ENLISTED
in SEARCH OF SLAYER
OF ATTORNEY
my Assoclatea Pressl

CHICAGO, April 20. The
"beer racket" today had sup
planted all other theories as sup
plying the motive behind the
latest triple staying by machine
gun gangsters, with the death of
William Fl. McSwiggen hanging
prosecutor of the states attorney
staff, regarded as incidental to
the alcohol war.
But the death Of the youthful
prosecutor who with james j.
Doherty and Thomas Duffy, fell
before murderous fusilade of
bullets in Cicero Tuesday night,
brought one of the most energetic
campaigns against gangsters ever
waged in Cook county.
Almost every scrap Of inforna-
tion in the hands of the police
pointed to the fact that the kill
ing of Doherty was long planned
by rival alcohol and beer purvey-
ors from whom Doherty was
wrestling control of business in
Cicero and that McSwiggen and
Duffy were killed merely because
they happened to be in Doherty's
company when the machine gun
ners pumped one hundred bullets
into Doherty's automobile.
The machine gun, a type de-
signed for police use, and capable
of firing 1900 bullets a minute,
offered one of the best available
clues to the slayers as police raid
ed hundreds of places in Cook
county in search of Doherty's
rivals. 1t was believed that the
sale of the weapon could be
traced.
The theory that McSwiggen was
out seeking evidence for the trial
of Martin Durkin was abandoned.
Likewise that he was slain in re-
venge for his activity as a prose-
cutor, He was friendly with Do
herty and Duffy and their pres
ence together was merely social.
A campaign against gangsters
and their resorts was in progress
all night. There was great
scurrying Of the beer bosses and
the alcohol chiefs and the gamb-
lers.
One such weapon as that used
by the killers was traced to the
store of Alex v. Korecek. He said
he had bought it on an order from
two men whom he did not know.
An all night grilling failed to
wrest any different information
from him.
All law enforcement agencies of
the city and county have been en-
listed but after hours of investi-
cation not a single clue to the
identity Of the slayers had been
found. Numerous raids resulted
n 200 arrests and the seizure Of
many arms and much ammunition.
Police so far have no direct IN
formation as to the identity of
one and possibly two other men
who were in the automobile IN
which MeSwiggen and his two
companions were slain, although
one Of them was believed to have
been MyIes o'Donnell, friend OF
Doherty. The underlying causes
of the triple staying viii be in
vestigated today BY a coroner's
jury of six prominent business
men and civic workers, enlisted
By Harry Eugene Kelly. president
of the Union League club.
