CHICAGO, May 21.-The four
teen points" of the gangland peace
pact designed to dissolve the over
lordship of "Scarface Al Capone
and to terminate the bloody war of
bullets and bombs by the incorpora-
ton of all warring factions in ono
syndicate, were revealed today to the
United Press.
Most important from several
viewpoints in the agreement is a
clause which gives to the "execu-
tive committee of the organization
the sole right to use machine guns
and requires that the gangSters re-
frain from carrying guns.
The council would put the ma
chine guns to use only to carry out
punishment for violations of the
pact.
TOrriO TO Be Gar
The recognized car Of Chicagos
turbulent gangland will be Johnny
Torrio.
The pact by which Capone and
his rivals agree to the rule of the
powerful Torrio and his executive
committee" was proposed in Chi
cago and signed at d meeting in At
lantic City, within a fortnight after
the massacre of three Capone body
guards and two days before the
hitherto immune Capone was SEN
fenced to prison for "gun-toting" in
Philadelphia.
Torrio, although marking the
overthrow of the Capone dynasty,
Capone remains with Joe Aiello, and
George Bugs Moran as the big
four" of the new syndicate whose
vice, gambling and liquor business,
it is claimed, will net approximately
$16,0O0OO0 annually.
Factions Arc Merged
Capone's stepping down" Is at
tributed largely to the return OF
Torrio, who was one of Chicago's
first gang lords and who took Ca
pone into his confidence and made
him his chief lieutenant years ago.

after he had been wounded by north
side gangSters.

porate several factions.
