FISHERMAN WINS
y y y
IN COMBAT WITH
y y y
HUGE SWORDFISEI

AVALON, Santa Catalina ISL
and, Calf, Aug. 23.-R-The
beak Of a big Swordfish, piercing
the planking Of the fishing
launch Chappie, remained here
today as evidence Of a furious
battle between the sea creature
and a fisherman, ending in vic
tory for the latter.
The battle started when the
fisherman. w. G. Peterson OF
Los Angeles, hooked the marlin
swordfish with a line. Infur-
lated, the animal lunged at the
launch, rammed his spear
through the gunwale. and up
through the deck. The fish gave
a lunge which nearly overturn-
ed the launch and which broke
his sword-like nose off short.
Peterson gated the fish with
the aid Of the launch captain. 1t
weighed 326 pounds.

COTTON OPENS
STATIONARY
Bullish Weather Report Off.
set BY Rumors of Tex
as Showers

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-tR-The
cotton market opened steady at an
advance Of 4 points to a decline Of
4 points. There appeared to be
buying on expectations Of a bullish
weekly weather report while there
was some selling on private reports
Of light showers in the Texas
plains. Offerings, however. were
well enough absorbed to give the
market a generally steady tone and
prices worked up TO 1891 for De-
cember and 1919 for March by the
end Of the first half hour or about
3 to 6 points net higher.
The market showed a firmer tone
later. A private crop report plac-
ing condition as Of Aug. % at $50
and indicated yield at l5,l50.OOO
bales stimulated buying. The week
ly report seemed to be pretty well
discounted and proved a signal for
realizing. This was absorbed on
slight reactions and the market
made new highs for the day around
midday.

Discuss Need of Regulation

Tragedies.

Need for city regulation of null
tiple unit electric refrigerators to
prevent poison gas tragedies such as
occurred in Chicago. was discussed
today at a conference between DR..
Herman G. Morgan. city health Of
ficer and William F. Hurd, build
ing commissioner.
DR.. Morgan requested Hurd to
make q, survey of electrical refrig-
Grafton plants and recommend
regulations TO be incorporated into
the building code There is no city
or state regulation of electrical re-
frigeration units.
Chicago has had some trouble
from improper installation and We
want to prevent any similar TRACE
dies here DR.. Morgan said.
Specifications probably will be
drawn UP regulating the size of
copper tubing and pressure to be
used to provide for public safety.
DR.. Morgan pointed out that the
individual units for homes do not
carry sufficient pressure to be haz-
ardous.
Hurd discussed advisability Of in
stalling valves on each floor Of
apartments so equipped and re-
curing that all piping be placed in

States district attorney in Chi.
cago. and Roscoe Patterson, formel
United States attorney in Kansas
City, and now senator from tina
state, and Haveth Mau of Cincin'
natl. who sent literally two carload!
1881 of city and county grafters II
Atlanta, have proved that where
there is determination to enforc'
the law. coupled with legal ability
and high personal integrity. prohi'
bition can be enforced like any
other law to curb the operations O
the criminal element of society.
The prohibition law has not giver
birth to any new element Of lawless'
ness. 1t simply has attracted those
who would in any event try to "bea'
the law" in some racket designed TX
make big money quick. The proc
of this lies in the fact that the
names of Al Capone and others Of
his gang run through cases involving
all of the many racketS.
The type of men who descend IN
a swiftly moving automobile on the
garage which is the headquarters OF
a rival liquor gang and exterminate
them with a machine gun is the
same as those who kidnap the pol
watchers of the opposition party on
election day, take them to a desert
ed house and kill them with a vol
ley from sawed-off shotguns.
And so. in Chicago, the United
States attorney has not made war
alone on the bootleg ring. With
cooperation of the state prosecutor,
attack is being made. and success
fully, on the whole army of the law
less.
The situation in Chicago
exemplif1es the difficulties in many
other large cities. In the same
county, are ninety-two smaller COM
munities. To one of these, Chicago
Heights. there were sixty murders
attributable in five years as result
Of gang wars.
But when the wheel of political
fortune brought into Office an hon
est, efficient, and determined United
States attorney, and a states at
torney of the same kind at the same
time, law enforcement became far
from a hopeless task.
The federal and state forces can
cooperate with each other in cases
involving the stealing of automo-
blles, liquor cases. the robbery OF
drug stores and other places con-
tanning postoffice sub-stations, the
possession or sale of narcotics, and
robberieS of or entertainments from
banks allied with the federal reserve
system.
"Chee Chez DodgeS
Then. too, when the state takes
action where it has exclusive juris-
diction. such as in slot machine
gambling device cases. it often puts
an end to joints which have also
violated the federal prohibition law.

CONCRETE men
ARE VICTORS IN
PAVING FIGHT
Asphalt Interests Lose
Dawson Street; Owners
Confuse Petitions.

The paving material fight on
Dawson street from Lexington to
Woodlawn avenues was won today
by the concrete interests with the
award of the contract to the Union
Asphalt Company for a two-courSe
concrete street. The bid was $3,765.
Nine of the fifteen resident prop
erty owners signed a petition for
concrete street which was circu-
lated by concrete promoters. The
city engineering department discov-
cred that the names of Irene Flow
ers, 900 Dawson street, and Mary
D. Henderson, 515 Dawson street,
we're on both the concrete and as
phalt petitions.
The asphalt petition circulated by
promoters working under Frank
Noll, attorney and representative in
the 1929 legislature, was dated Aug.
/ while the concrete petition was
dated Aug. l, z p. m, making it
impossible for engineers to discover
which petition was signed last.
City Engineer A. H. Moore con-
suited the legal department. and
was told to disregard the petitions
since they we're illegal. John w.
Holtz,nan, former corporation coun-
sci in the Slack administration and
now special city gas attorney, ap-
peared before the board in behalf
of the cement interests. The board
asked for saff1idavits from the two
property owners, stating which
material they desired.
Walter Krull, a notary public and
in charge of the concrete pro-
motors at city hall, obtained sworn
statements that they signed the COIL
crete petition last and desired that
the award be made for cement.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

evidence was gathered, the fight had
Just begun.
De Mayor was tried not once, but
four times. Every legal obstruction
was interposed in his behalf by a
large staff of skilled lawyers. Three
times conviction was prevented by
the refusal of one or few of the
jurors to agree on a verdict Of guilty.
Then We secured evidence of at
tempted jury tanpering.
He Goes to Prison
The result was that when De
Mayo again was brought to trial the
jury, which had been guarded care
fully from outside approach even
before 1t was selected and sworn in,
and which was sequestered during
the trial, brought in a verdict of
guilty. Da Mayo was sent to the
penitentiary for three years.
Such a prosecution has a moral
erect even more important than
the immediate result of removing
one man from active participation
in violations.
1t was the skill, ability, courage
and bulldog tenacity of the United
