CHICAGO COPS
SEEK TRACE OF
MISSING GU Ms
Officers Convinced Chicago
Gangland Is Arming For
Another Battle

Chicago, March 9.-(P-Police,
seeking trace Of a shipment Of six
machine guns which has myster-
iously disappeared, were convinced
today that Chicago gangland is
arming for another violent episode
Of its stormy career.
The machine guns recently were
ordered in the name Of the Mexi-
can-American company, 10 South La
Sale street, who directed the weap-
ons be shipped to q West Taylor
street warehouse. A bad check was
said to have been given in payment
and that upon investigation it was
learned that no such company had
ever occupied offices at the address
given.
Under present laws gunmen have
found it difficult to buy guns To-
cally.
Police believe that one Of the
weapons in the Mexican-American
company shipment may have been
used Tuesday night in the attack
upon Jack McGurn, associate Of AL
(Scarface) Capone, long labeled a
gang leader. Three men, armed
with pistols and a submachinc gun,
shot down McGurn in a cigar store
on the near north side.
MsGurn, lying near death at q
hospital, has persisted in his re-
fusal to name his assailants.
u know who plugged me-" he
said, "but that's my business. I'll
attend to this myself-if I ever get
up"

TICKET in BEHALF OF Sen. WALSH
PLACED IN FIELD IN CALIFORNIA
William G. McAdo0 Heads
Group Of Dry Democrats
Which Is Backing Montana
Senator - Kathleen Norris
and George Creel Are on
Ticket

San Francisco, March 9.-(AP)-
The Walsh for president boom came
to life in California today as a group
OF Dry Democrats headed by William
6. McAdoo put u ticket in the field
in behalf of the Montana senator.
The movement assured q triangu-
lar Democratic fight in the presi-
dental primary which will be held
May ! to name delegations to the
national conventions. Organizations
supporting Governor Smith of New
York and Senator Reed Of Missouri
previously had taken root in the
California field.
The personnel of the Walsh ticket
as announced by j. o. Davis, chair
man Of the northern California Sec
ton Of the group, contained the
names of McAdoo, Kathleen Norris,
the writer, and George Creel, author
and head Of the governments war
time information bureau.
The Walsh supporters submitted
his name to the Democratic voters
"in the confident belief that Senator
Walsh is all the platform we need" "
Although nothing was said to in
dicate that the California boom
woHld be made the nucleus for a
nation wide organization behind
Walsh, observers were inclined to
think it represented a gesture of
McAdoo for a renewal Of his fight
against Gov. Smith, which was
waged so hotly in the Democratic
national convention Of 1924.
Rumors that the Walsh and Reed
supporters would combine to defeat
Smith were denied by the Walsh
supporters, who said they were Will
son Democrats and that Reed was
just as unacceptable to them as
Smith.
The winning candidate in the
three cornered primary will have an
instructed delegation with voting
power of 26 at the Democratic ma
tional convention at Houston.

London, March 9.-H-Uneasi-
ness over the threat of desert war
fare in Arabia prevailed in London
today with some reports current
that an attack had already been
launched and others that hostilities
were expected hourly.
Dispatches from Basra, Irak, said
that Ibn Saud's fanatical Wahabi
tribesmen had laupched their ''holy
war against the infidel" by at
tacking and CAPTURING villages in
Transjordania. The overland motor
route from Damascus to Bagdad also
was stated to have been closed.
None of the usual near eastern news
ccnters, nearer the scene than Basra,
mentioned any outbreak Of fighting
in Transjordania, h<wever.
Three Wahati camps were report
ed from Amman, Palestine, to have
been located, but this was not con-
firmed. Such concentration would
indicate that an attack was planned
on Transjordania.
In the meantime the British gov
ernment continued preparations to
stem any assault on its inundated
territories.

Group Plans to Institute Liti-
CATION in Federal Courts
Determined to Keep Alive
Prolonged Contest Over
Lake Cargo Rates on Btu
minOus Coal


Washington, March 9.-(F)-Coal
mine operators from southern terri
tory, meeting here today, voted to
institute litigation in the federal
courts against the latest decision Of
the interstate commerce commission
in the lake cargo controversy.
Most Of the principal operators IA
bituminous coal located south of the
Ohio river were represented in the
session. In addition the principal
southern coal carrying railroads,
the Chesapeake & Ohio, Norfolk &
Western and Louisville & Nashville
railroads were represented, al
though the question Of whether the
railroads will participate in the op-
orators appeal to the courts was
left open. Governor Gore Of West
Virginia attended the gatherings.
Every determination was evi-
denced to keep alive the prolonged
contest over the lake cargo rates,
which in recent years has extended
to bring in congressional partisan
ship and political reaction. The most
prominent of the indirect results has
been the recent senate fight over the
confirmation of John j. Esch as q
member of the interstate conf
merce commission.
The fight in the courts will be
against the ruling Of the commission
in refusing the Chesapeake & Ohio,
Norfolk & Western and Louisville &
Nashville railroads the right to
make a voluntary reduction Of 20
cents per ton on lake cargo coal
moving from mines south Of the
Ohio and Potomac rivers to the
Great Lakes for transportation by
boat to the northwest.
The commission had previously
allowed 20 per cent cut in the rates
on lake cargo from Ohio and Penn
sylvania districts and the southern
operators contend that this gave a
rate advantage to their northern
competitors which threatened the
destruction of their industry.

denial came from Sheik Hafiz Waba,
He was just returned from Kowcit,
near the head Of the Persian gulf,
where he tried, on behalf OF Ibn
Saud, to negotiate a settlement Of
the difficulties between frontier
tribes Of the Nejd and Of Irak.>
Sheik Hafiz said that, instead Of
fomenting the warfare, Ibn Saud is
trying to quiet the tribesmen who
revolted against British air raids,
which in turn were in reprisal for
raids over the border, made by the
complaining tribesmen in violation
Of treaties among the clans.
