Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine, back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People lived
normal quiet lives, ate plain, whole
some food, and got plenty Of fresh

to put into their system. So he
wrote a prescription for q laxative
to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name Of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vege-
table remedy, intended for women,
children and elderly people, and
they need just such mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liqui$

Renew RANSOM
DEMANDS FOR
KIDNAPPED BOY
Two More Letters Received
by Father, Both Contain
ing Death Threats.

By UntteG Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-TWO more
letters were received today by A.
Frank Ranieri whose 1o-year-old
son, Billy, has been in the hands OF
kidnapers here for the past thir-
teen days. Both letters renewed
threats of death for the boy unless
demands of the kidnapers for $l5,-
900 are met.
Police, meanwhile, captured three
new suspects who picked up a decoy
package supposedly containing the
money for the boys return. Their
names were not revealed.
With federal authorities aiding lin
the hunt, six men in all are held
in connection with the kidnapping.
Ranieri told authorities he had
paid Angelo Pettiti, one OF those
held, 5000 upon the promise that
his son be returned.
Pettiti said the boy would be
placed in q suburban garage
Ranieri said. The garage was sur
rounded. It was believed that the
gangsters saw the officers when they
approached with the boy. Then,
according to police, the boy was re
kidnapped"
Shortly afterward, Ranieri re-
ceiyed another note telling him 10
leave $4,000 near a downtown de-
partment store. A fake package
was placed in the designated posi-
ton and police spent night watch
ing it, but no one appeared to take
the bundle.
The three men suspects were ar
rested when Ranieri, pretending to
follow instructions in another let
ter, left package containing blank
paper in an alley. The trio ap-
preached and as they began to open
the package were arrested by wait
ing officers.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 18-One
hundred bombings have Signalized
the entry of the Chicago racketeer
into Detroit.
The metropolis of the automo-
bile world was the inevitable tar
get OF the racketeer, and the Chi
-cago artists, Schooled in the meth
DDS OF exacting tribute from bust
ness large and small, have made
their impression.
AS In other cities, the dry clean
Ing industry promised the most
fruitful point of entry, and accord
tngly the bombings began when
business men resisted the efforts
(of the racketeer to extort the
tribute demanded.
But Detroit's proximity to the
Canadian border is the source of
ether and more perplexing prob
lens than the operations of the
racketeer.
Booze Racket Unique
The booze racket in Detroit is
unique in that running LIQUOR
across the Detroit river is accom-
pliShed with amazing facility, and
accordingly attracts from other
cities big time operators who invest
large sums in whisky to be trucked
into other cities.
Affiliations of Chicago racketeers
with local talent, notably the "Pur-
pie Gang" were accomplished and
greatly facilitated the dry clean
ing racket, as well as hijacking and
kidnapping Of racketeers from other
cities with money to spend for
whisky.
Thus, with liquor problem
unique, Detroit was in no mood to
temporize with lesser racketS.
Accordingly, nine persons promi-
nently identified with the dry
cleaning racket were placed on
trial. for conspiracy and extortion
Besides the bombings, kidnapings,
etc. in the dry cleaning war there
have been three murders which po-
lice attribute to the Purple Gang"
Other incidents include the arrest
Of Chicago "organizers" found to
be in possession of guns in down.
town hotels, and the recurrence
of the methods common to the
Chicago operators.
Trials Are Delayed
The trials of the extortionists
which began early in the summer
came to a deadlock when the pre-
siding judge was taken i'll.
Throughout the summer, the de-
PENDANTS have been at liberty on
bond. 1t is expected, however, that
the trials will be resumed soon.
Interest in the cases was height
ened by the attempts to call Frank
x. Martel, @head of the Detroit
Federation of Labor, as a witness.
Before the suspension of the trial,
Martel at different times refused
to appear and at other times could
not be found to testify.
With the resumption of the trial
OF the alleged eXtortioniStS, testi-
mony will be introduced to indicate
the extent of their operations. One
dry cleaning firm went into bank
ruptcy as a result Of the amount
it was compelled to pay the. racket
for protection against bombing and
for the safety of it's trucks. The
tribute reached 500 week before
the firm closed.
Among the rackets in operation
in Detroit is that of kidnapping
saloon keepers, bootleggers and
others and hold them for ram
som.
The rackets in operation also
include extortion from bootleggers,
alcohol dispensers and others by
Detroit policemen. A number have
been dismissed from the force on
conviction of such offenseS.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23.-Lou
Tellegen, former husband of Geral-

by Isabel Tellegen, who produced
evidence purporting to show that

A letter, allegedly written by

in court. 1t read:
TN answer to your letter of the
10Th, I only can admit that J. have

to continue to do So"
The divorce suit was not co.,
tested. Mrs. Tellegen was given
custody of their 4-year-old son, No
mention of community property was
made.
The Tellegens were married in

PHILLY MAYOR
APPOINTS new
SAFETY Chief
Former Director Quits; Po-
IiticaI Echoes Pre-
diCted.

BIZ United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-Mayor
Harry Mackey today announced he
had accepted the resignation of
Harry c. Davis as director of pub
lie safety for Philadelphia.
The mayor simultaneously ap-
pointed Assistant District Attorney
Schof1eld to succeed Davis.
No reason was given for Davis
resignation.
Schofield has been right-hand
man to John Monaghan, district at
torney, in his crime investigation Of
Philadelphia's underworld and the
alleged police corruption.
Move Is Unexpected
The move, observers said, would
mean that the police department
would cooperate in a greater de-
gree with the district attorney.
Only Thursday, Davis said he did
not propose to resign" and Mayor
Mackey announced that Davis would
remain at his police post.
Twice Judge Edwin o. Lewis, the
judge who ordered the grand jury
investigation, has criticised Davis
from the bench, and one time he
went so far as to say that the police
department. needed a new director
with backbone"
Political Echoes Seen
Observers believed that the resig-
nation, coming as it did, only aNfew
days after Senator Elect William S.
Ware, Philadelphia Republican lead
err, had Endorsed Davis and said
that he believed him an honest,
competent public Official would
have marked influence on the po-
litical situation in Philadelphia.
It would be a war between Ware
and Mackey, some observers limited,
but none would predict with GER
tainty.
