Ancients Feared Beans

Wise men of old had a great
fear of beans. Even stern old Hip
pocrates was frightened when the
blooms We're on, for fear harm
would come to his patients, and
Pythagoras and his followers re-
trained from eating beans lest dis
aster should befall their parents.
But Adonis helped upset the fear
OF beans by ordering them to be
offered on the altar of the god of
Day and of Fine Arts, but in parts
of Europe as late as the middle of
the Sixteenth century, there were
communities where the fear of the
bean and its blossom was to be
found.

EAST SIDE SHIELDS
FIVE GANG SLAYERS
Wall of Silence ConfrontS Pc.
lice Seeking Killers of
~LRtIe Augie" 0rgen.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 17.-Con-
fronted by the wall of silence which
surrounds gang warfare on the lower
East Side, police sought Valnly tooay
for the perpetrators of the murder OF
Jacob Orgen. gang chieftaln known as
Little Augie," who was ambushed
and slain by five gunmen IN Delancey
street Saturday night.
Jack Diamond, Little Augie's'
bodvguard. was still IN a critical con-
dition with two bullets under his
heart. but he would not tell detectives
who had shot him and his chief as
they strolled along the crowded street.
Among the throngs that swarmed
the push-cart lined thoroughfare
police could find no one who recog-
nized the killers. three of whom trail
ed their quarry afoot while two oper-
ated the getaway car.
Death Due to Feud.
Despite this reticence detectives
knew that Orgen's death was due to
activities of the reorganized kid
Dropper" gang, which still exists, al
though its leader was slain on August
rs, 1928, by Louis Kushner, a mem
Der of Little Augie's" gang.
The rival gangs. whose members
have been replaced as they dropped
away, were openly hostile as early as
1928, when a lucrative business was
enioyed by Nathan Kaplan, kid
Dropper," in furnishing thugs for the
protection of strike breakers. Soon
'the Dropper' evolved a plan of
doubling profits and sold his services
as a provider of guards to the strikers
as we'll rs to substitute workers.
To give both employers of his thugs
SOM semb'ance of loyal support mem
bers OF the kids" gang would stage
harmless, fake battles, in which many
shots were fired, but no one hurt.
'Little Augie" Rising Power.
"Little Augie." rising power among
East Side gangsters. saw the possibil-
ities of taking some of the Drop
per's" trade He organized a gang
which competed with the older organ
ization in furnishing thugs in labor
troubles.
This rivalry eliminated in the death
of kid Dropper," who was shot as
he sat beside a police captain in a
taxicab. Kushner, his slayer, had
slipped up to the rear window of the
cab and fired q bullet in the gang
ster's head, a crime for which he re-
ceived a sentence of 20 years in
Sing Sing.
Three weeks ago the enmity be-
tween the rival gangs broke out
afresh, when one of the kid Drop
per" gang was killed in the street by
gunner who also fatally shot man
seated on the steps of his home. Lit
tie Augie's" gang was charged with
this killing, and the leaders body
guard increased its vigilance.
Saturday night the five gunmen
rolled into Delaney street behind
Orgen and Diamond. Three, who had
trailed the pair, fired a fusilade,
leaped into the car containing two
confederates and sped away.
