RIVAL OF BOSS
Enmity Begun Thirty Years

CHICAGO, March ga feud
which started more than thirty
years ago in the vineyards of Sicily
and developed bitterness in Chi
cago when its principals competed
in politics and business was blamed
by police today for the Staying of
Diamond Joe" opposite.
James Di PriSeo was said by Chief
of Detectives Michael Grady to
have full knowledge of tn eslaying
Di Frisco and opposite were boys
together in Sicily and worked side
by side in vineyards there.
At first they were friends. One
day, Grady said, they fought with
knives, but were separated before
either was badly hurt.
Di Frisco Arrested
They came to Chicago. Esposito
proSpered in business, grew influen-
tial in politics and finally made a
fortune, as so many of his country
men have in Chicago in recent
years.
Di Frisco failed where his rival
succeeded. He had difficulty in
making living, and was a hanger
on at the fringes Of gangs.
Eighteen months ago Di Frisco
was wounded in a gang war fare
up, At first he blamed ESposito,
but when the latter was taken to a
hospital to face his accused, Di
Frisco changed his story and abb
solved the man he hated.
Di Frisco and four other men
were under arrest today in connec-
ton with the Staying of opposite,
but it was on Di Frisco that police
concentrated their inquiry.
Welded Political Power
First reports early today of the
Staying Of John Infantino, 80, shot
in his home, led to the belief that
he might have been killed because
of some knowledge Of Esposito's
death.
1t was known he had conferred
with opposite recently. Investiga-
ton disclosed, however, police said,
that Infantino was the victim of a
jealous rival for the hand of a third
mans wife.
Police and the district attorneys
office continued today to deny any
political significance in EspoSito's
death, but members of the Italian
colony were convinced that "Dia-
mond Joe's' influence in the
Twenty-Ftfth ward, which he had
held firmly against the city and
county administration in election
after election, was a factor in his
death.
He was a candidate for Repub-
lican committeeman from the dis
trict on the ticket supported by
United States Senator Deneen and
opposed by Mayor William Hale
Thompson.

Almost complete congressional

The upsets have involved few

In the meantime the wounds
which the campaign opened in the

Leaders of the boilers, who appar-

Republican column in a national cleo

manded the resignation of regular
party leaders, who, they charged, are
''tainted with Tammany." The regu-
lars replied that boilers would never
run the affairs Of the Democratic
party in Texas, and declared that
they would rather lose with Demo-
Gratis than win with Republicans.
President-elect Hoover continued
to hold his lead as the rural vote
trickled in, to the amazement of the

predicted Smith would take the pole
