POLICE SCORES
FIRST IN GANG
war IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Nov. % lP-The police
scored first today in the grim war to
the death between rival gangsters for
control of gambling and bootlegging
privileges.
One gangster was dead from po-
lice bullet, 13 others alleged by police
to be implicated in plots to kill their
rivals faced charges ranging from dis
orderly conduct to conspiracy to com
nit murder, and police squads with
machine guns in armored automobiles
searched for new gangSterS to conquer.
Even "Scarfare" Al Capone, one of
the few gang leaders to escape death
in the gang war of determination two
years ago, and the object of an as
sassination plot in the present feud, did
not escape authorities.
Immediately groomed, even to spats
and a cane, the youthful Capone, sur
rounded by bodyguards, appeared in
police court today to answer to a
charge of disorderly conduct, which
was dismissed. Then, still surrounded
by his lieutenants, he was whisked
away to his hotel, which virtually has
been transformed into an armed fort
resS.
shortly after Capones trip to court,
one. OF his enemies, Joseph Aiello, was
released on bond and started for his
home trembling for his life, after be-
ing refused q police escort.
Shortly before being released police
heard Aiello converse with members
of Capone's gang, arrested yesterday
when they were found carrying wea-
pons, confined in cells near him. He
offered to get cut of Chicago in two
weeks if truce was declared, but was
turned down.
sYou started thisls and were going
to finish it, police said Capone's men
told Aiello, who, with his two brothers,
is blamed by Capone for the plot to
assassinate him, discovered a few days
ago, when downtown hotel room
across from cigar store Cepone visit
ed frequently revealed shotguns train
ed on the shop.
The gangster killed by the police
was Frank Herbert, brother OF big
Earl" Herbert, bodyguard of Joe Salts,
South Side >gangster recently acquitted
of murder.
Herbert's body was found in door,
way on the South Side where he had
died after being shot by police squad,
summoned by saloon keeper, who
said Herbert and companion had
threatened him when he refused to
buy Salts beer.

stops enroute. AT Kansas City the
squad will be joined by aubrey De-
vine, assistant Trojan coach, who
has been scouting the Notre Dame
team for several weeks.
With the Trojan team on it's way,
local gridiron experts went over
Southern California's chances OF VIC
Y in the intersectional clash, and
the concensus was that weather was
the greatest obstacles IN the way
of the 13 to - victory Notre Dame
scored here last season. In Troys
machine, Knute Rockne's men will
meet a veritable juggernaut, one
that is as yet unbeaten, and is the
mightiest scoring, aggregation on the
western coast. A tie with Stanford
is the only blemish on the Trojan
record of eight games played Not
only on offense is the aggregation
strong, the experts agree, but it
possesses a line that has never been
crossed this season on straight run
ming plays.
While the critics agreed that the
loss of Williams is severe, blow to
the squad, they pointed out that
Jones eleven is not one-man team,
despite the heavy burden that will
be placed upon the shoulders OF
Captain Drury. With Harry Edelson
ready to start his fullback position,
and the halfbacks, Russ Saunders
and Lloyd Thomas, in perfect work
ing form, the Trojans will have a
devastating offensive and defensive
combination that Is expected to
cause Knute Rockne's men consider
able trouble.

In presenting the petition, District
Attorney Gordon told Justice Sid
dons that his action was entirely
independent" of the grand jury in
yestigation, which now has been
concluded Whether the jury is to
make presentment is for it to de-
eide, but if it does do SO the in
dictments may be held in allegiance
until after the contempt hearings
The contempt action supersedes
the charges of conspiracy to influ-
ence the verdict of the trial jury
which recently were laid against
Sinclair, Day and Clark before
United States commissioner Need
ham c. Turnage. Clark's hearings
on these charges, set down now for
Friday, probably will be postponed.
The contempt action by the dis
trict attorney was in line with that
which Justice Siddons initiated last
week with the appointment of a
special committee of three to deter
mine whether there was just cause
for contempt proceedings. Gordon
was named member of that COM
mittee, bue declined to serve, with
a result that some tart letters were
exchanged between him and Justice

Sigfrid Mauritz Larson.

Sigfrid Mauritz Larson, the young
est son of Mr.. and Mrs. Per Larson,
was called to the Great Beyond last
Friday afternoon, March 18th, at
about 800 p. m.
Although he had not been real well
for the past nine months, he had been
able to be up until about month ago.
at which time it was thought he was
having light touch of the flu, from
which the other members of the fam
lily had been suffering. He grew
worse, and the case was diagnosed as
inflammation of the intestines, until the
day before he died, when it was found
he had yellow jaundice. Even then,
his condition was not considered SER
ious, and his death came as great
shock to his family and the entire
community.
He was born Nov. 10, 1904, on a
farm near Hector, living there until
the summer of 1917, when he moved
here with his parents, where he has
since resided, and where he leaves a
host of friends. He was always an
active worker in the Luther League,
and ready to do his part in any social
community activity.
Funeral services were conducted
Wednesday, March 18th by Rev. Tern
berg at the Swedish Evangelical Luth-
eran church of which he was men,
Der, and interment made in the Swede
Park cemetery.
Besides his parents, he leaves to
mourn his going, one brother and
two sisters, namely Leonard Larson
of this place, Mrs. M. L. Anderson of
Willow River, and Miss Ellen Larson
of Minneapolis. Also numerous other
near relatives and friends, all of
whom extend heartfelt sympathy to
the bereaved family. One brother,
Clifford, died of diphtheria nine years
ago, and was buried on March 18th,
1918.
