Press Assails Helplessness
OF Chicago in Cangster War

Chicago is being belabored by the
rest of the country again-or still
for her helplessness in dealing with
gang warfare and crime generally.
Describing conditions in Chicago

One of Chicago's own great dailies,
the Daily News, discerns in the con-
ditiOnS "the hateful shape of official
tolerance" and adds: "It is, of course,
incredible that little gangs of savage
lawbreakers should find themselves
free to go on killing one another as
an incident to amassing wealth
through traffic in booze and CONNER
cialized vice, if they were not able
to command protection in high
quarters"
The Dayton Daily News declares:
The Chicago gangster knows his
town. He has seen the working of
it's legal machinery. He is familiar
with the weakness Of that legal ma
chine. Too often has he looked upon
loose legal procedure. But one thing
has been denied him, and that one

handle their criminals, the Columbus

been instructed to shoot to kill in

The Akron Beacon Journal lauds the

annual tilt with Morse High School.
The Morse team is rated as one Of

and despite the fact that Gardiner
has lost three men because of in
juries, the game should be one of
the best of the season.
DuBoyces, first string man, is out
of the game with broken thumb.
One of the bones in the thumb was
badly fractured and it was decided
not to use him in the Morse game.
Kendall, who hurt his knee badly in

trip but will not play. Cook was
hurt tonight. He has a split muscle
