AT six o'clock Sneed ventured to dis

he had passed downstairs Sneed
thought he understood what his EN-

was cataloguing his treasures. Hazen
Brewers failure had been as complete
as the evening papers proclaimed.

CHAPTER II

At ten o'clock on the following
morning, Peter Milman entered the
offices of firm of lawyers which had
transacted the private business of
Hazen Brewer. Henry Payne, the head
of the firm, looked troubled when Mil
mans card was brought in. The in
terview would not be pleasant for
either of them.
81 came" Milman began in his ur-
bane manner, "to find out, If possible,

might have called up Hazen, but in n
moment like this he has worries
enough"
81 hope Mr.. Brewer is not worrying
now"
"Then things are not as bad as they
seemed?" Mlman's heart pounded as
he said it.
"Worse. I've bad news for you, Mr..
Milman. Poor Hazen Brewer COM

Payne wished he could discover from
Milnlan's expression how much or lit
tie this news meant to him. But MIL
man had too much control of himself
to allow any man to see how stricken
he was.
"Poor Hazen," he murmured. "He
was one of my Oldest and best
friends"
A curious tribute, thought the law
yer, to one whose speculations had
ruined him. But perhaps the other
did not yet realize to what an extent
his private fortune was involved
''The mortgage on my house," Mil
man began, 81 suppose 1t will be fore

"Pm afraid so. There will be n

way, l shall be only too glad to do

"You are very kind" said Peter
Milman courteously. He shook Mr..
Payne's hand and left.
"a thoroughbred" murmured the
lawyer, who had seen many dlstin-
guished men listen to bad news in
this office. "Poor devil, wiped out alb

Before going home, Peter Milman
took his way to an agency which spe-
cialized in French domestic help of
the better sort.

Shetland Shawls

A Shetland woman tells how the
lovely Shetland shawls are made. She
says: 1--WE do not knit the shawls
from the middle outward; we knit
lace the required length, each quarter
by itself, and pick up the stitches
along the straight edge; the number
differs according to the size Of the
shawl required; these we take in at
each end Of the middle, to form the
corner of the shawl, as we proceed

ASKS STATETO
RULE ON TAXES
City Wants to Know Where
Budget Is Affected.

An order specifically showing
where the 1923 tax levy cut shall
affect the city budget will be asked
of the State tax board by Deputy
City Controller A. B. Good.
Good will act on advice of Cor
poration Counsel John w. Holtz-
man, who cited a 1927 statute pro-
vidiag the tax board shall indi-
cate" where reductions apply to the
budget.
The tax boards order Oct. %
specified that distribution of re-
ductions shall be left to the discre-
ton of local officers"
City councils levy of .6125 for the
general fund was cut .0445, which
will require reduction of nearly
$220,000 from the budget figure
passed by the council.
The 58.6 cents general fund levy
fixed by the State body will be
assessed against a property valua-
ton of 66,0O0,0O
1t was pointed out that the city
will face a $4,000 deficit at the
close of 1928, if The State board fails
to make the reductions and the
present budget is followed.
The board probably will have to
take a stand on the $4,000 police
and firemen salary increase which
the council slipped in the budget
at the last minute.

habited by Negroes.
The structure was a two-story

BU United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. %. - Terror
stricken, Joseph Aiello, who dared to
raise the standard of revolt against
sScarface Az Capone, covered in
retirement today while Capone gun
men hunted him and police squads
sought without much hope of sue
cess to prevent further bloodshed
among the gangsters.
The revolt which smouldered for
weeks before it broke into open
war apparently had \ ended in a
complete victory for Capone and
only the detail of administering
punishment to the rebels seemed to
remain.
So fearful was Aillo that he did
not appear in court today to answer
charge in connection with his al
legged plot to assassinate Capone and
Tony Lombardo, head Of the Unione
Siciliano.
Health Is Bad"
His attorneys presented medical
certificate of serious illness for the
man who was in the best of health
yesterday; and .his, case was con-
tinued until Dec. 81.
Few believe Aiello would be here
to answer then.
Ten Of Aiello's aides also won con-
tinuanceS until Dec. 81, and cases of
Two Capone gunner, arrested while
allegedly scouting for Aiello, were
continued to Dec. 2.
Police Sergt. Tom Lynch was
wounded critically in a running
battle with an automobile load of
gangsters today.
A few hours earlier a bomb had
blown out the front of west side
resort of the BertSche- -Skidlnore-
zuta vice syndicate, with which
Joseph Aiello and his brothers are
allied.
Warning to Rivals
The bombing apparently was
warning by the cohorts of "Scar-
face AL Capone that Aiello's at
tempt to usurp the underworld
throne of Capone would meet the
same answer that previous reyolts
against the powerful gangster chief
have received-death to the up
starts.
Following the shooting of Lynch,
scores of police motor squads were
sent cruising about the areas
where gangsters congregate.
Capone Gang Strike
Lynch was one of five policemen
in an automobile pursuing the
gangSter car. The police car was
making about seventy-f1ve miles an
hour, his companions said, and oc-
cupantS of both machines were
firing volley after volley.
Lynch was beside the driver. If
the bullet had hit the latter instead
Of Lynch, all five of the police un-
doubtedly would have been killed.
Today's events opened the active
attempt of Capone to defend his
power among the gangs.
Police Chief Michael Hughes said
after an investigation that he be-
lieved it possible Lynch has been
shot accidentally by one of his COM
panions in the police car.
The pursuit of the gangSter car
by police was called one of the
most sensational in recent Chicago
history. Scores of sho,s were fired,
it was said, and the police car was
struck several times.
