STARTLING CRIME
 l. IS NOW REVEALED
New Chapters Come to Light in
 Chicago Report

Chicago. June tfr-TWo new chapters of a sensational report on @Chicago crime were made public to- day by the Illinois association for criminal justice. They charged the growth of d gambling syndicate which at one time reached into many other cities; and they recited in detail going back to the early L 1900's "The rule of the underworld and the rise of it's overlords" X The associations survey, which has been financed in part by the Carnegie foundation. points to three tthis rapid survey of organized gambling"
 "The first fact" the report said. 'is the continuity and persistency of a form Of social life organized around personalities who play an important role, because the relation ships in th9 underworld of gambling. vice and crime are pei sonal and feudal, rather than formal and in- stitutional.
 "The second fact is that every change in political administration (from 1907 to date) effected a change often amounting to a revolu- rion in the existing order in the gambling world.
 The third fact IS that gambling, in resisting attacks of reformers and in meeting new situations created by changes in administration, seems to have become more solidified in or ganization. and more flexible in adaptations to new situations. and more concealed in it's operations. In other words. it is the ineffective ef- forts of the community to defend itself against vice and gambling that gives it it's organized character.
 Practically, reform in the past has amounted to little more than a gesture New tactics need to be worked out in order to take into &C., count the complexity of the situa- tion"
 Life History
 The survey set forth that the com- plete life history of one man. were it known in detail would disclose practically all there is to know about syndicate gambling as a phase of organized crime in the last quarter century, That man, said the re- port, is Mont Tennes. "Avowedly q real estate man, and for more than a score oi years proprietor of the General News bureau, controlling Nires for the gathering and dis pensins of racetrack news Tn Chi

 One section of the report was sub headed 'The Bombing War of 19O7," This was directed at Tennes, then in the midst Of building up a gambling monopoly, the report said. For sev- eral weeks Mont's rivals were &C., cused of fostering reign of ter ror' by bombing a dozen or more places in the first big outbreak of rival gang factions.
 The lethargy of officials in pur- suing inquiries into this 1907 war fare was set forth in the report with comments of the newspapers of that day. indicating utilization of some ganSsters and officials
 TOrriO's Rise
 With the eclipse of the Tennes sway, the report noted the rise of John Torrio. "New York east slider, 1ammany graduate and student in the Chicago levee district"
 Torrio was held responsible for bringing out Dion O'Banion, gang leader who was shot to death in his floral shop 'Scarface Al" Capone of the present day and others.
 "The killing of Big Jim Colisimo. cafe man, and the passing of tho Nolstead act led Torrio to turn his attention to the manufacture of con- traband booze and distribution of it throughout the city" read he report, The conflict for possession of s,l burban Cicero, the survey set forth. was marked by the slaying of Eddie Tancl, Cicero competitor of Torrio who was slain by James Dohertv. a Torrio henchman, who himself later was shot down by machine gunners at the time Assistant States Attor- ney William McSwiggin was slain in 1928.
 Iorrlo succeeded in controlling Cicero elections and built what per- haps has been the most powerful underworld organization the city has known, the report said. Accumulat- ing a fortune, Torrio went abroa q with his family in 1924, taking with him a million dollars in securities and letters of credit. it was reported. He returned in six months when violence broke out in his stron ehold with the killing of Frank Capone. AIS brother and Tcrrio aid. Tor rlo's activities in the racket" final ly caused his indictment and convic- tlon. Meanwhile he was attacked and shot by rivals and on his re. coVery he seemed to welcome the chance to go 10 jail, the report read,
 Then came the rise of Al Capone. the Torrio henchman who succeeded to the overlcrdship. Climaxing the present part of the report the re. cent bombings of home of certain city officials were described under a section sub Thompson and the Wide Open Town The report said that in circles close to Ca pone, 1t was well known he had con-

BARRY NORTON
HELD UP BY
BANDIT
~ REGINA CREWE

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Dec. H.
The question ''are bandits movie
stars?,' must be answered in the
negative, 1T seems. For the fact
that Barry Norton is an actor
didn't save him from "stick-up"
the other night. Ramon Romeo,
writer-scenarist-actor was with
Barry. Between them they con-
tributed SIS and wrist watch TO
the highwaymen's Christmas fund.
The same evening the big Metro

$4,000 receipts by a bandit, who
carried the money off in shop

Fairbanks, who is signing all
necessary papers, says that the
mag will tell the truth about the

will indeed be interesting
IL true. More probably it will re-
fleet the image of the industry
as 1t sees itself. The important
part remains ITO see ourselves as
OTHERS see us.
Robert Benchley, who quit

their wives and husbands, and
about two score grandchildren.
Since hearing of her the famous
