SECOND BLAST
WRECKS DEN IN
CHICAGO STRIFE
Fifty Gang Chiefs Held in
City CIean-U Up, in Wake
of Thug War.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 24-Explosion
of the second dynamite bomb with
in twenty-four hours and arrest Of
fifty gang leaders were today's
highlights in the Chicago police de-
partment's battle to end fighting
between Italian feudists here.
The bomb destroyed part of a
small gambling house, whose owner
was alleged to have disregarded or
ders Of gambling syndicate leaders
to close. Damage was estimated at
more than $4,000.
In move to clean out gangsters'
nests, Detective Chief VIM. O.,Con-
nor conducted raids on a half dozen
alleged hangouts. Among the fifty
men arrested was Pete Genna, sur
vivor Of an earlier gang war.
Three OF his brothers were shot
down between 1928 and 1925, when
the first battle for supremacy in
the bootleg industry was waged in
Chicago.
Possibility that the United States
Government would deport several
alien members of the rival bands
who cannot show they have right
in this country, was seen today.
Federal officials have investigated
each foreigner arrested.
Tt was believed that Government
entrance into the gang fued might
bring peace, for leaders of both
sides admit they cannot afford to
lose valuable lieutenants through
Government intervention.
Death of Detective Sergeant
Thomas Lynch brought the fatal
ties Of the present to two. Sergeant
Lynch was shot accidentally by
member of his squad while they were
pursuing what they believed to be
gangSters' automobile.

TzUo l. q. Medical Students
Preach Way Thru School
Local Minister, De Paw
Degree Man Use
PuIpits.
BY JOSEPH HORN CRISTIL
Times staff Correspondent

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Nov. "a. =
The pulpit provides the tuition
sending two ordained ministers
through Indiana University's med
ical school. Parents Of one-May-
nard Poland reside at 900 N.
Tuxedo st., Indianapolis. The other
: "minister-medic" is Paul g. Vietzke,
Ray Rapids, Mich.
Both ministers agree Sinclair
Lewis Elmer Gantry" should be
applauded. But though hypocrites
are in the ministry, none are as bad
as Lewis pictures" Rev. Vietzke
makes exception. 1.-THE same holds
true with Lewis Arrows Smith, at
lacking the medical profession.
1T am an Elmer Gantry, in man
mer," admits Rev. Poland. "I am
using the pulpit for personal gain
to pay my way through the medical
school here.
Ministers Must Eat
people do not realize ministers
must eat and sleep, and most of all
that they are human. They, like
business men, want to climb sue
cess's ladder.
Personally, I would not be a min
lister all my life. I feel I can ac-
complish more good as a doctor. I
probably always will teach a Sun
day school class"
The two hold no titles on the
campus, except Poland is known as
dad" He is a lively, good scout.
The other is more seriously inclined
Both are students and hold Phi Chi,
honorary medical fraternity, mem
berships.
Vietzke's ambition is to become a
dical-missionary. Russia is his
choice work field, but that govern
mept's aethistic stand makes his go
ing there improbable. South Ameri-
ca is second choice.
Poland and Vietzke hold two pull
pits apiece, near Bloomington. They
visit each semi-monthiy. The com
gregations average 100 persons. No
one in either of their families has
been a minister.
Both ministers are modern. "Do
al you think you should" they
council their growing congregations.

CITY'S PURSE
TO Be FLAT
AS 1927 ENDS
Judgment Against City Only
Way to Provide for
100000 Debt.

Passing of 1927 will leave a "fiat''
purse, according to City Controller
Sterling r. Holt.
Estimates of Bookkeeper Walter
Barney show Indianapolis will start
the new year with an approximate
debt of 100000 for light, water, gas
and power.
The only way suggested is for
utilities to obtain a Judgment
against the city which can be met
by bond issue. Current expenses,
unless in the form of a judgment,
can not be met by bond issue.
The 1928 budget has been pruned
so close that the funds will not care
for the anticipated deficit.
Transfer Fail Tax Funds
Transfer Of approximately 81, 279,-
600 in fall tax money is expected
from County Treasurer Edward A.
Ramsay next week.
Taxes, with the present balance
Of $57,642, will provide $1,336, 242,
from which to pay the fixed bills
and pay roll.
Barney estimates $417,000 will be
necessary to meet the city's pay roll
from Nov. 10 to Jan. 1. The city
also must meet a 100000 tenn
porary loan from the Union Trust
Company and interest payment Of
$4,000.
After payment Of these bills,
which total 81, 183,0 900, it is estimated
there will be a balance of $3.50
which can go toward meeting a
100000 Indebtedness for water,
light power and other ordinary bills.
Balance to Be Small
About $4,000 Of the S447, 900
estimated shortage will be cared for
by anticipated fees and licenses,
Barney said.
Barney's financial statement as
OF Nov. 10, completed today, shows
$2,284,O75 received from taxes
during the year; $t,40O,O0O from
temporary loans and $406,059 from
miscellaneous licenses and fees.
With the cash balance Jan. 1, 1927
the figures total $4,104,018 in the
general fund.
Expenditures to Nov. 10 total
$4,O46OOO, including a temporary
loan of 100000, leaving a balance
in the general fund of $57,642.
