The reason that barges are towed

Gang Government

When the police or St. Louis followed IrdllS
of suspicion connected with Indianapolis
crime, they came upon an arsenal.
In the apartment of woman, they found
a machine gun, a rifle, nine revolvers and a
thousand rounds Of ammunition
Not exactly the traditional idea of the
furnishings or decorations of boudoir, but
so have times changed with the coming of
gangs and the threat Of gang government to
our big cities.
While the gangs have wars among them
selves and settle their own differences as to the
ethics of stealing the other fellows load of
alcohol and whisky, they also war upon the
public with raids upon banks and merchants
and social gatherings.
They have fourished in the larger cities be-
cause they have been tolerated and have been
useful on election days.
They can never flourish long in any city
unless they have important connections with
the respectable world and fronts and friends
among the politically important.
It may or may not be significant that when
a gangster gets into the hands of the police
very respectable lawyer comes to the front with
sage advice as to silence and bonding COM
panies, operating under sanction of the law,
see nothing anti-social in getting fee for sup
plying bonds for their liberty during which
they can prepare perfect alibis or perhaps raid
other banks to recoup their losses.
1t is a matter of common knowledge that
these gangs start with the business of selling
booze. They are organized for the purpose of
transporting it from the borders or from
alcohol plants to thirsty cities. They exist
because of the rather heavy demand for their
merchandise. They are tolerated by some
authorities, many of whom are fixed or be-
come blind to their activities
The gangs and individuals have customers
in this city. 1t is only recently that the city
has become interested in the menace of the
other activities Of the gangs the holdups and
the rattle of the machine gun on the thorough
fare as they fight their battles.
1t would be unfortunate if there should
arise any suspicion that the gangs find any
aid, comfort or sanctuary in this city such as
they have had in Chicago or Philadelphia or
other cities.
Those who do not desire gang government
might remember the menace the next time
they patronize bootlegger For the traffic
in cOntraband booze is the basis of all gang
rule and gang activities.

To Build Artificial Lakes
to Compete with Minnesota
Kansas Has Program to Keep Tour
lists at Home-Can't Compete
With Nature

Minnesota's ten thousand lakes
have been so widely advertised and
have become such an attraction
that states from which this summer
playground draws tourists are now
taking steps to keep their people at
home by building artificial lakes
says H. C. Hotaling, Minnesota
tourist commissioner and he specif-
ically calls attention to the cam
paign now being waged in Kansas
under the leadership of Governor
Ben S. Paulen to provide lakes for
that state.
Kansas is now undertaking one
of the greatest conservation pro-
grams ever attempted by any state.
From money received from hunt
ing and fishing licenses fund is
being created for the building of
artificial lakes. Citizens are being
urged by Governor Paulen to take
out licenseseven though they may
not fish or hunt to help the cause
of conservation along and the
Kansas law is such that persons
who accompany a hunting or fish
ing party, whether they participate
in the sport or not, must be provid-
ed with licenses. In his appeal to
the people of Kansas, Governor
Paulen says: estate lakes and the
recreational and camping facilities
which go with them will be the
means of saving to Kansas millions
of dollars now annually spent out
side the state by Kansas folks on
vacation trips. Economically, So
cially, dramatically and from an
aesthetic standpoint the lake build
ing program is sound and as free
from objections as progress can
be-"
sIn Minnesota" says Mr.. Hotal-
ing, Mature has provided beauties
that are much coveted by other
states. Our ten thousand lakes are
so scattered that there is hardly a
spot in the state where there are
not several lakes near at hand.
Where there are few lakes there
are usually rivers so that our cit
izens have the opportunities for
recreation which they offer.
Throughout the state our lakes
have wooded shores and our rivers
wind through timbere'i valleys.
Wild life is abundant here and our
lakes TEEN with fish. Hundreds
of thousands of citizens from other
states come here each year to en-
Joy our lakes and woods, and
while other commonwealth may
build artificial lakes for the recrea-
tion Of their people they win new e~,.
recreation to be found in Minneso-
ia.
"Our lakes and forests help to
make Minnesota an ideal place IN
which to live and when we are tell
ing our friends in neighborlng
states what we have to offer we
should never forget the wonderful
blessings with which nature has en-
dowed US.

shells imported from Italy, which will
float out from the snow-covered peak
like silver moons, then burst into a
multitude of brilliant stars.
A great white light will shine from
the peak at 8 pm, to be followed by
two rockets and a 00-candlepower
flare on Crater Point. At midnight will
come the grand display Street lights
here will be dim at the hours of the

An "alky" war caused the $4,000

planted in dry cleaning establishments
were attributed to racketeers attempting
to muscle in on the cleaning and

mistake" Damage was estimated at

Checker Taxi Co. and the Yellow Taxi

with distinct steps toward permanent
peace among rlcn of good will in the
Western Hemisphere, advance for the
Nationalist government of China in the
Far East and renewed hope among the
Croats-largest of European political
minorities-for a reorganization OF the
kingdom of the Jugoslavs.
Revived agitation was noted in Hun
gary for the return of a Hapsburg to
the vacant throne of that country,
coupled with suppression of a Fascist
plot which aimed to erect in Budapest
system analogous to the concentrated
Mussolini regime of italy. In Alsace
there was revivification of agitation for
loosening that provinces bonds with
France. Germany and Russia agreed
tentatively to a commercial treaty from
which Berlin expects good results.
Industrial Conditions Outlined.
Troubles of an economic nature con-
tinued to plague England and Wales
because of distress in the mining region.
Germany's industrial situation was
complicated by failure to Settle the
shipyards strike at Hamburg, and
Polish sources reported that Russian
peasants were begging permission to
cross the frontier that they might buy

host, whether in Harlem night club
or smart midtown hotel, was making
elaborate preparations today for the en-
tertainment of Father Knickerbocker
and his guests New Year eve.
Cover charges in hotels, night clubs,
restaurants and cabarets were high.
The increase in the fee charged for
seat, noise-maker and a bag of con-
fetti was greatest in the Harlem clubs.
1t is the fad for white society fol,-5 to
patronize clubs in this colored section.
Popular Harlem clubs were getting
cover charges as high as $25.
Some of the so-called exclusive night
clubs in the Broadway district also
asked $25 for seat, but the hotels
were content with modest $40.
The celebration at the Waldorf-As-
toria, which will tax the famous house
to capacity, will be something in the
nature of farewell party, for another
New Year day will see the hotel razed.
There was some uneasineSs among
proprietorS of certain clubs regarding
what, if anything, the police, under
t. ir new, militant commissioner, might
or might not do. Commissioner Whalen,
however. announced no special policy
for New Year eve.
