When she rose from the speakers table
she was an eye-fllling figure straight,
tall, almost beautiful, and as perfectly
poised and motionless as a marble angel.

But applause drowned whatever she in

The listeners began to move from
their table seats, to park themselves
closer to the guests Of honor. Some
thing reminded Mrs. owen of time
during her campaign for Congress when
she was to speak from bandstand in
her home town. People drove in by
scores and hundreds.

answered. "in the space behind the
bandstand."

on, and every blessed motorist stuck

CHICAGO. March 16.-Sophisticate
New York may want to educate her
juries to acquit bootleggers tried under
the new Jones act, but supposedly
wicked Chicago would like her juries TO
turn to mass production OF convictions.
This city has had her fling. While
vet in principle, she is completely of
the booze racket, Judges, police, States
attorney and Federal officials join in
agreement that the new penalty pro-
vided for violation of the prohibition
laws should be vigorously applied. They
hope that jurles will view the problem
as they view It,
New York lawyers announce that
through their organization, the VOL
untary Committee of Lawyers. Inc,
they hope to help "nuilify the Jones
act with its five-year prison term and
$4,000 fine, for violation of prohibition
laws.
Chicago Reaction Different.
Chicago's reaction has been pretty
much the opposite. Conferences are
being held here to seek an early ap-
plication of the rigorous penalties. The
expectation is that through co-opera-
ton with the Federal Government. the
police can obtain sufficient evidence to
send some of the citys notorious gang
sters to Atlanta or Leavenworth.
Nobody publicly is urging an open
town for Chicago these days. The de-
mand from nearly all quarters is for a
tightening up of enforcement. The city
right now would prefer to be known as
the drieSt big town in the country. Its
difficulty is that this is the natural dis
tributing point for liquor and beer being
shipped to the great politically dry
areas of the Middle West The bust
ness is highly profitable and so immense
in scope 50 that attacks on it make
little impression. The Jones act with
It's heavy penalties might prove effec-
tive enough to break up some of these
organizations. Their activities have
done much to give the city its bad name.
Russell Takes Lead.
William " Russell, commissioner of
police, has taken the lead In calling for
strict enforcement.
There Is new deal, not only in
Chicago but in every city of the coun-
try" he told recruit policemen lust
entering the force. Your Job is to en-
force the laws. and not to pick the ones
which you will enforce. This applies
to Federal, State or city.
IF any of you drink in soft drink
parlors or any other such place and I |
can prove it. you will be dishonorably
discharged from the police force. The |
drink proposition is one of the most
difficult We have had"
The local criminal courts are prepar-
ing to clear up their dockets and all in
all the criminals locally may expect a
tough Summer. New York may take
its wide open town, but Chicago at the
moment is well satisfied to seek some
tight-shut conditions.

 Chicago now is tracing killers through clews left by their weap- ons, and that is precisely what happened to one Joe Morris. or Norris, in 1886.
 Joe's work had none of the frilh that today's stylists would demand It was plain and unadorned. A stranger, whose name is lost in the years, had a sum of money and Joe wanted it.
