STORM SW EPT

Pittsburgh, July 5.-tR)-Heavy
rains that reat he'd cloudburst pro-
portions in some districts here late
yesterday and early today measured
l.08 inches, the weather bureau re-.
ported this morning. Widespread
damage resulted from floods, land
slides and lightning bolts.
Landslides near McKeesport and
floods between here and McKeesport
caused heavy damage. Automobiles
parked at pleasure resort near
McKeesport ~ere carried from .
parking place into . small valley
when ! section Of . hillside slid
down upon EN-. Floods along the

There were 10 reports Of fatalities
resulting from the storm, but sew

PROHIBlTIONNOT BLAMED
Crime Investigation Chapters
Show Evidence of Increased
Use of Bombs
PROHIBITIONNOT BLAMED

Chicago, July 5.-(AP)-Beer,
bullets, "pineapples" and politics
supplied the Illinois Association for
Criminal Justice with material for
the fifth and sixth chapters, of
organized crime," the report of an
investigation into Chicago's crime.
The fifth chapter made public
today, dealt with the city's "beer
war;" which has occupied consider
able attention since early in 1922,
when various gangs were lured from
other activities by promises of enor-
nous profits into bootlegging and
beer running. Since then, the re-
port states, the gangsters active in
bootlegging have formed strong or
carnations. The "beer war" re-
suited in 215 gang murders in less
than four years, besides the killing
Of 160 alleged gangsters and boot
leggers by the police.
The report, after enumerating the
outstanding features Of Chicago's
"beer war;" declared the investiga-
tors did not believe prohibition could
be blamed entirely for the condition.
Since other cities have not exper-
fenced similar gang activities under
prohibition, the basic cause must be
local, the report suggested. The
alliance of politics and gangdom
was blamed principally for the
"war."
Widen Activity Scope
"Pineapples," better known as
bombs, have been in use in many
years, the sixth chapter declared, al
though only in recent years has the
bomber widened the scope Of his
activity. Twenty years ago bombs
were used by vice lords to discour-
age competition, the report says.
With the coming of prohibition,
bombs were found to be useful for
the same purpose. Black hand ac-
tivities, inter-racial conflicts, labor
controversies, and "rackets" also
have been found the pineapple" an
ideal weapon of attack because Of
the secrecy with which it can be
planted.
Black hand bombings, the investi-
cation showed, are especially hard
to solve because the victims seldom
will talk to police and because the
perpetrators often have strong po-
litical connections.
Political bombings, such as those
perpetrated at the homes of SEN
ator Charles S. Deneen and Judge
John A. Swanson just before the
last primary election, bring to the
public attention the extremes to
which crime, vice, and liquor rings
will 60 when they fear loss of power
through political changes, according
to the report. These ~bombings,
however, the report points out, re-
suited directly in aiding to swing
the election to the political faction
headed by the victims.

from England to Belgium last night
and was drowned.
Travelling IS he always did with
. retinue, Captain Lowenstein,
hoped off from Croydon airdrome

p. m. for Brussels with British
pilot at the controls. Two girls
stenographers were aboard 50 that
he could continue his business while
in flight. The plane also carried
his valet and . mechanic.
When the plane was crossing over
the sea, Captain Lowenstein left his
seat among his companions and
started for the washroom in the
rear. He never returned. Appar-
emily he opened . door by which
passengers leave the plane and fell
into the sea.
For . while those remaining
aboard the plane were ignorant Of
what had happened and continued
chatting. Sometime later they dis
covered the tragedy. The pilot
headed at once for the French coast.
He landed to the west Of Dunkirk,
France, on the beach at s p. m. The
pilot explained to the customs Off
GERS there hat he had decided to
land on the French coast because of
the accident.
Staff Waits n Vain
In the meantime the bankers staff
was awaiting his arrival at Brus-
sells. Finally as the hours passed

appear they began to telephone to

coasts and learned 81 the tragedy.
