Glad to Take Rap for Sc
curity. PhiIIy Mayor
Charges.

By United Press
PHILADELPHIA. May 10
Peace and security which Al Capone
says he has been seeking for three
years came to him today behind the
thick walls of Moya1nensing prison
Crowds that hurried along Broad
and Market streets today we're
ready to accept the report that Ca
pone was driven to jail, not by the
power of the police, but by fear of
death at the hands of rival gang
sters.
Mayor Harry A. Mackey said he
believed Capone really was glad
to go to jail.
Submitted Easily to Arrest
The mayor based his deduction
on the fact that Capone submitted
so easily to arrest as he was leav-
ing a motion picture theater; on the
fact that the gangster pleaded
guilty when facing trial on a
charge of carrying concealed wea-
pons, and on the report that a gang
council, which had met at Atlantic
City to divide the lucrative tribute
of the underworld and establish
peace, had broken up after six days
amid threats on the part Of George
CBugs) Moran to get" Capone.
Capone denied all that. telling a
tale of a formal meeting at Atlantic
City at which elaborate articles of
peace we're drawn up and signed by
Moran and himself.
In support of Mackey's theory
trat the gangster wanted to go to
jail was the statement Capone made
VIXEN Detective "Shooey'' Malone
pulled a .38-caliber pistol out of the
Chicagoan's pocket.
Get Out in Ten Months
I'm on the mark, you know
marked for DEATH" Capone said.
The years sentence which Capone
and Frank Cline, the bodyguard
Vhc was arrested and sentenced
with his employer received, may be
reduced to ten months by good be-
havior.
When Capone passed through the
vide gate of Woyamensing and
heard the rattle of the key in his
cell lock he could think of nothing
more blood-curdling to say than:
Please let my wife and children
visit me once in a while"

TWO SETS OF
CITY PRECINCT
LINES LIKELY
Council and Commissioners
Move to Fix Boundaries
for Election.
DIFFER ON AUTHORITY
Situation May Reach Point
for Courts to De- S
eide. q

Indianapolis, the city which once
had two mayors. soon may have
two sets of boundaries for its pre-
cincts for the city commissioner
election in November.
This appeared likely today when
city councilmen declared they
would proceed TO fix the precinct
boundaries, as councils have for
twenty-five years. County commits
sionerS already have an engineer at
work outlining boundaries in ac-
cord with their wishes.
Councilmen who are sympathetic
with the city manager movement
contend the law gives them the
clear right to fix city election pre-
cincts.
County commissioners, controlled
by George V. Coffin, Republican
city chairman and arch-enemy OF
city manager government, contend
that they have dug up some new
law which gives them the right
claimed by the council.
1t appeared likely that the situa-
ton may reach the point where
courts would have to decide the dis
pute.
City's Right twenty-five Years
Advised that commissioners are
changing boundaries upon advice OF
Clinton H. Givan, county attorney.
Edward B. Rapb. president Of the
council. said:
we don't need a legal opinion
or the matter. For twenty-five years
it has been the law that the council
fix the precinct boundaries in city
elections,
There is no question about the
law in the matter. In the last few
years the county commissioners
have fixed the precinct lines and
sent them on to the council for rati-
flcation.
George Snider. commissioner pres
ident, said the new boundaries will
be announced next week. The num-
Der of city precincts has been in
creased from 237 to 289, it is under
stood.
Asks Legal Opinion
IF the city wants TO go ahead
that's not our problem. There is a
question about the situation, but we
believe it is our Job to make the
changes. The boundaries are being
checked By the county craftsman,
Snider said.
Paul Rathert. election committee
chairman of the council, conferred
Friday with Harry Dunn, county
auditor. to learn the stand OF COM
missioners. Rathert said he Will
discuss the matter with councilmen
Monday night before taking further
action. William A. Boyce Jr., city
clerk. asked an opinion from the
city legal department.
ATTORNEYS say the council has
authority to fix the boundary lines
under the general election laws
which provide that duties OF the
county commissioners shall be per-
formed by council or town board In
cities and towns.
It further is provided that the
voting precincts shall so lar as
practicable be those established by
the county commissioners.
Attorneys hold that the council
is the body to decide the prac-
ticability of the commissioners
boundaries. The Law provides that
no changes be made after the June
meeting of commissioners.
Coffin could gain an advantage in
the city commissioner election If he
could dictate the precinct bound
aries so as to make it difficult for
persons in promanager territory to
get to the polls and easy for those
in the districts where he is su-
preme.
