Young aviator lies in just that open
ing of a war-closed door, that letting
of the clean air of the spirit blow
through. 1t is the full measure of the
service of Louis TX to his time.
Youth and age had pretended that
the things of the spirit did not count.
What were restraints, conventions,
established values? All these they
would overthrow and they would eX-
pertinent in a new freedom and in
new manners. Then, IN the very
midst of it, there flashed out of OBJ
security youth whose freedom from
vice. freedom from modern things, was
almost startling. Newspapers and re-
porters, surfeited with scandals and
crimes, seized upon the white light of
Lindbergh's character and found once
more the pristine joy that lies in
water from an unpolluted spring. The
same sort of joy that Saint Louis
brought to all who knew him, even
to his Saracen captors. 1t is the sat
isfaction that comes to the seeking
soul. 1t is the assurance that the
strivings of the spirit are not in vain.
Lindbergh just naturally preferred
clean living, because his sunny spirit
loved the light, and he stood before
kings and high officials with the en-
chanting ease of a little child. Even
as Saint Louis dwelt in a place of
sunny poise, SO dwelt Lindbergh, and
all the world wondered and adored.
The dust has been blown out of the
air once more, and the sunlight of
true values has again been thrown
across the path of the world.
In Paris, that historic and resplend-
ent city that Lindbergh saw for the
first time when his plane glided to
earth after it's serene defiance of wind
and sleet and wave, that Paris that
Saint Louis loved and cherished and
adorned, there stands in the grounds
of the Law Courts La Sainte
Chapelle, a small structure when
measured on the pattern of the ca.
thedrals of the Middle Ages. but a
cleaning jewel. nevertheless, its walls
as nearly made of glass as the skill
Of the architect could make possible,
windows that reach up to the. roof,

the rich wine-red glass and the virgin
blue. AS the sun streams through the
windows, one feels the empty space

AS the man was led away, Garrow
turned toward the others, beaming.
well, gentlemen, there's something
new in the line of numbering for you
to think about"

INSPECTOR GARROW pushed back
from his belated supper, fetched a
deep sigh of contentment.
II certainly did like that girl" he
admitted to his wife for at least the
fifth time. shes got a lot o. grit.
The same kind o. grit her old man
had-except that it's the right kind.
Don't know as I've ever had woman
nice one, that is-stand up to me-
like she did. She didn't start to cry
until it was all over. and then she told
me what was in that letter-the thing
she'd been holding out. 1t was that
her father had never treated her
mother right. Indirectly was the
cause of her death. Pretty darn
tough for a girl. She's going to live

I'll see Elsie Magnan charged with
shooting the dirty pirate. There was
only one way that Dirk O'Byrne could
have done it. and that way was to
travel on something that would be
faster than a train. And what makes
a fellows face all chapped if ii isn't a
lot of weather rushing past him? l
mighty near jumped out of my skin
when the idea of an airplane struck
me. 1t was just Brodie. D'you sec?
Plain Brodie. But don't tell anybody.

Fead Says Colony Is Public
NuiSanCe;;' Asks Re-
CeiVer.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
LANSING, Mich. Nov. 10.-The
House of David, Michigan's noto-
rious religious colony. tottered to-
day as Judge Louis Fead held that
the cult dominated by King" Ben
jamin Purneu, was public nuisance
on account of the immortality prac-
ticed there for more than a quarter
Of century.
Fead refused to dissolve the col
ony, but recommended a receiver
ship which would take care of the
claims of past and present mem
bers Of the colony, who, he said,
had been defrauded of their prop
erty and labor by the divinity
claims of Purnell.
An injunction also will be IS
sued restraining Benjamin Purnell
from further association with the
women of the colony except un-
der proper protective conditions"
The entire property of the col
ony, variously valued up to
100000, will be held under re-
ceivership pending settlement of the
claims of members and former
members.
The decision was sent from here
today to st. Joseph, to be formally
filed in the circuit court. 1t was
believed practically certain that the
Israelite defendant would appeal,
The decision upholds the main
contentious Of the State in its suit
which included. besides gross i'm
morality and fraud, a system OF
perjury drilled into members and
practiced on the occasion of this
hearing"
Judge Fead refused to recommend
dissolution, on the ground that the
court had no statutory authority to
dissolve the organization and that
it would be unconstitutional to in
terfere with the practice Of re-
ligious rites.
He made it plain, however, that
he held Benjamin's claim to be the
"divine messenger" fraudulent, iii
asmuch as he was immoral.
He also found that Benjanlins
immoral practices had extended
from the time the colony was or
ganized, March IT, 1908, until he
became physically incapacitated.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Chicago to-
day apparently was on the verge o1
a new gang warfare which gave
prospect of being as fierce anc
bloody as the battle Of beer barons
in years gone by.
Desertion of the beer racket" BY
gangsters who saw likelihood oi
bigger profits from gambling houses
caused the new flare of enmity be-
tween rival cliques.
Police made a desperate effort to
prevent the war by closing al
gambling enterprises, but though
most of the establishments locked
their doors in response to word from
headquarters that "the racket was
off," it was believed they would be
opened again after few days.
Competition Is Keen
The cause Of the war threat was
entirely economic. The beer busi-
ness has been falling off for months,
partially because of excessive COM
petition ard partly because retailers
learned the secret of mixing barrel
of real" beer with three barrels of
near beer to obtain the product sold
to drinkers. That cut down the
profits of the beer runners to such
degree that they were threatened
with starvation, or at least with
having to sell some of their lin
cuisines.
AS a result, the beer runners
started opening gambling houses,
and for several weeks new establish
ments dedicated to faro, black jack,
poker. coon can, policy games and,
in the better residence districts,
roulette have been cropping up con-
stantly.
Territory Is Invaded
Competition became keen. Mem
bers Of the West Side gang started
invading the South Side; the South
siders went into the North Side dis
trict; and Northsiders spread back
to west and south.
Already first signs of warfare have
appeared. Eight bombings occurred
within forty-eight hours. One was
in Hammond theater and two were
blackhand affairs with no bearing
on the gang war. The others dam
aged gambling houses and beer
shops. and were regarded as the
first flares Of the war to come. -
More significant than the increase
IN number Of bombings-three or
four a week is normal for Chicago
was the fact that TINT and nitro
glycerine bombs apparently were be-
ing used instead of the relatively
harmless black powder bombs here
tofore favored.
