TWENTY-FIVE or more different

AL CAPONE SHOT
 BUT BY HIMSELF
Is Nov Recuperatins in Illinois
 Hospital

Chicago. Sept. :1 (UP)-"scar- face Al" Capone. ruler of Chicago's gangland, has been shot, but not by the rival gangsters who months ago decreed his death. 1 Capone. whose every move is guarded by no less than r. of the most watchful gunnen ever assem- bled, shot himself, accidentally. ac- 1 cording to reports today. Capone today lies in St. Mar garet's hospital at Hammond. Ind, suburb of Chicago. He is wounded in the right and left legs and in the groin.
 Shoots Himself
 According to the current story. Capone shot himself last Saturday morning after he and Johnny Pat , ton, familiarly known as the Boy Mayor of Burnham," had completed a round of golf on the Burnham golf course.
 It seems Capone had varied from his usual habit Of going about un- armed. and had carried AS cali bre revolver with him on his round of golf.
 Reports said the gun was dis charged accidentally as Capone step ped into Patton's ear, The bullet piowed down through the flesh ot the right leg, narrowly missed the abdomen and then imbedded itself in the left leg,
 Patton took his friend 10 St. Mar garet's hospital, which is situated on the east side of street known as 'State-Line Street." the lndiana-Il- linois state line. Capone was registered under the name of MT. Geary." 4 Hammond physician was called into consulta- tion and no one was the wiser until the presence of F dour-faced indi- N!duals about Capone's room aroused suspicion.
 Capones bodN guard now occupies Ave rooms about the wounded gang ster.
 Among the body guards, who pace the corridor outside Capone's room, are Tony Little New York" Cam pasnia, one of the Genaro brothers. and four others known in gangster circles as La Cava, Felko. Perry and Marcus.
 Few Visitors
 Capone has few visitors. Hospital authorities say MT. Geary does not wish to be disturbed"
 As near as can be learned. the gangster chieftain is not in serious condition, and will recover. For the time being. however. he must re- main confined to his bed in the hos pital.

After he refused to heed the con- stables warning to stop and failed to halt when the constable fired a shot in the air he was fired at by the Berlin officer and hit just above the knee. He was removed to the hospital.
 squillaciote had been arrested by Constables George Kanupka and Frank Brown after he had struck an automobile with his car on Pennington avenue. oyerturning it. The local man put out his lights and drove away. it is alleged. After 6 long chase he was caught by Brown. who with kanupka. took him to the office of Dr. Goodwin to have him examined for drunkenness. He attacked the officers after the ex- animation. it is charged, and the shooting followed.
 He was scheduled to appear be. fore the session of the superior court Tuesday to answer to a sta tutory charge. He was released by the Berlin authorities last month under bonds of s5.ooo. Deputy Judge E. w. Mildrum will preside on the bench tomorrow afternoon at the special session of the Berlin court.

The Jewellers Syndicate. which provides the regulations for all wa.ch- makers, sellers of rings and tther gold and silver articles. has decided that sales on Sunday shall henceforth be considered H. legal.
 ThE have been backed up by the Paris Municipal Council and the minisry of the interior. and one of the officials of the Syndicate, more obstiate and ambitious than his colleagues. has even been fined . couph of dollars for violation of the sunday-closing edict.
