AL SMITH OUT

Governor Quits New York
State Mansion.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. Ex-Governor
Alfred E. Smith was an outsider to-
day with respect to the brownstone
mansion that is the official state
residence OF the governor.
For the first time in six years, the
Governor did not awaken in the
mansion today, for he and his fam
lily moved out last night-on the
occasion of the Governors SIS birth
day-to the Dewitt Clinton hotel.
There the Governor will remain I'M
til he relinquishes control of the
state government after a tenure of
four terms, three of them in success
sion.
Smiths moving from the mansion
was marked by no note of sadness,
for he arranged to move his family
after having a party celebrating his
birthday
He will remain at the Dewitt
Clinton hotel until after Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt is inaugurated
tomorrow and then with his wife
will go directly to New York, prob
ably in William Kenny's private car,
which has been placed at Smiths
disposal.
Smith has declined to comment on
his future plans other than to say
he has taken a suite at the Biltmore
hotel in New York city.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The shrill
blasts of police whistles will have a
prominent place in the uproar to-
night when New York shouts the old
year out.
Grover Whalen, police commits
sioner, has announced he will con-
tinue his raids on "crime breeding"
speakeasies, but will not modest
night clubs.
Since he neglected to specify just
where his patrolmen would draw the
line between night clubs and speak
easies, Broadway is prepared for
anything.
To New Workers, a speakeasy is a
place where you put your foot on
the brass rail, salute the bartender,
and drink a fair quality of rye
whisky at so cents shot"
A night club is a place where you
sit at table in a smoke-filled room
and pay ST a bottle for 25-cent
ginger ale and in most cases provide
your own liquor.
Speakeasies usually are quiet;
night clubs not olny breed noise,
they thrive on it.
Sunday was the busiest Sunday
the police department ever has had.
by midnight Asa persons were in
cells, seven of whom were wanted
on homicide charges. Among the
prisoners was William Bailey, who
is being held in connection with
the murder of frankie Yale, former
gang leader of Brooklyn.
Bailey is not accused of the &C
tual Staying of Yale, but police be-
lieve he can supply valuable in
formation. It was the first arrest
in the case since Yale was murdered
last July.
Most of the asa suspects were
seized in speakeasies, which Whalen
insists provide gathering places for
criminals.
Squads of police went through the
five boroughs, entering doors
through which no policeman had
even passed before unless he hap
pened to be in search of a drink.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Celebrators
polished and filled their TASKS to-
day for what the government pro-
hibition department says will be
the last New Years eve in Chicago
when such things will have any use.
Before 1929 has run its course,
liquor will be hard to get here, was
the New Years promise of George
E. @. johnson, United States dis
trict attorney. The drive to put a
real lid on wet Chicago will start
tonight, he said.
Two hunrded dry agents will don
Tuxedos tonight and visit cafes,
hotels and cabarets, with orders to
arrest violators of the Volstead act.
Some of the agents will be accom-
panied by women operatives.
One Of the first steps in the cam
paign to clamp down the lid will be
putting all minor liquor cases in
llIC 4dChCGNC4 COnA " q 4ACW NAAf4
sion of municipal court.
There the government will prose-
cute minor liquor cases, relieving
the docket of the federal courts
and permitting prohibition agents
to concentrate on large conspir-
acies and syndicates. John A.
Swanson, states attorney, elected
on a platform to clean up Chicago,
will put an assistant on the
'racketeer court" and government
agents will file their cases there.
johnson said by leaving his Office
free from minor prosecutions he
and his assistants would be in a po-
sition to hamper the liquor rack
eteers by taking the easy money"
out of the business.
Saloons will be the first objects
of the drive, johnson said, followed
by war on the distributors and
then to climax the campaign, an at
tack on manufacturers and snug
glers.

BIZ Onlted Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-It's thirty

greatest copy boy"
"Thirty"-the copy symbol that
indicates to newspaper men that the
work is finished-was written on
Jimmy's record by heart disease
after thirty-three years of carry
ing copy in the editorial rooms of
the Chicago Tribune.
The longest story in the Tribune
this morning was devoted to Jimmy.
1t occupied the choice position on
the first page and ran two and one
half columns long.
Jimmy, christened James Aloysius,
was 40 years old and had bossed
reporters and editors since 1895
until early Sunday when stricken on
his way home after putting the
paper to bed"
One of Jimmy's traditional duties
was to release the reporters for the
night with "all right there, gents,
if you're clear" meaning they could
go home if they had finished their
work.
Jimmy had bossed many "cubS"
on the Tribune who later rose to
national prominence in the news
paper field,
