.CAPONE REVIEWS
FIGHT FOR RELEASE
Proceedings Started by Gang
Leader on Ground of
Sufficient Punishment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. .
PHILADELPHIA, September 2f.-Al-
phonse "Scarface Az Capone, Chicago
gangland leader, apparently believes
that If at first you don't succeed, try,
try again.
Through his Philadelphia lawyers,
Capone today started another proceeding
to have himself released from the East
ern State Penitentiary. where he and
his bodyguard. Frank Cline. also Of
Chicago, are serving a one-year SEN
tence for carrying a loaded pistol in
Philadelphia. Cline is included in the
proceedings.
Capone wants to be paroled, and gives
as the reason that he has been punished
enough. If freed from the penitentiary
he promises to get out of Philadelphia
as quickly as he can.
. Arrested May II Last.
AL and his pal were picked I'D here
by two detectives on the. night of May
II as they were leaving a motion pic
ture house. They were given a mid
night hearing and held in 100000 bail
each so as to make 1t difficult for them
to find bondSmen before their case could
go to the grand jury the next morning.
The jury promptly indicted them and
the case was rushed before Judge John
E. Walsh in Municipal Court, They ad-
mitted they had loaded guns and were
given the maximum sentence Of one
year. In less than an hour they were
rushed behind the prison bars serving
their term.
Some time ago counsel for Capone
tried to have the case reviewed. but
failed. The lawyers said they would
take an appeal to the State Superior
Court. but this tribunal was not to meet
until October.
Passing Through City.
The petition for the parole states that
Capone and Cline were on their way
from Atlantic City to Chicago and be-
tween trains here attended the movie
When they left to go to the train the
detectives grabbed them.
Your petitioner further AYERS" says
the appeal for parole. that the sentence
so imposed had had a most salutary
effect and that in his opinion the
prisoner has been sufficiently punished,
and If your honorable court sees ft
to grant the parole your petitioners
client will leave the jurisdiction for his
own home"
Hearing on the petition will be heard
by Judge Walsh October 4.

CHICAGO, September 2l.-The Chi
cago Tribune will say tomorrow that
statements by Alexander G. Jamie,
chief Of special Federal prohibition
agents, indicate the Government has
important evidence concerning the ST
Valentines day massacre of seven
George Moran gangsters here.
The Tribune will call attention 70
the charge made at the time of the
Moran massacre by Maj. Fred D. Sillo-
way, former deputy prohibition admin
istrator here, that Chicago policemen
took part in the Sayings because police
men had hi-jacked whisky consigned 20
Moran and were afraid they might be
exposed. Sideways further statement
at that time that a Government in
former was riding one Of the hi-jacked
trucks will be cited by the Tribune as
indicating that the informer might
have been one Of two men jamie is re-
ported to have kept from going to the
Indiana Penitentiary.
Two Saved From Prison.
States Attorney oliver Starr of Lake
County, Ind, who recently was called
before the Federal grand jury 81 South
Bend. in its investigation of liquor law
violations in that county. had been
quoted as saying that Jamie kept two
beer runners from going to the Indiana
Penitentiary.
1T is true" the Tribune will quote
Jamie as saying that I kept George
Osborne and John Howard from going
to the Indiana prison. They were driv-
ing truck load of beer and were caught
by the Gary police and kept in jail for
several days.
II knew they had connections in
Chicago and, when their associates did
not get them released from jail on
bonds in few days, they were ready to
talk. I procured their release and
since then they have been working for
the Government.
They were in Detroit when news
papers disclosed that they were work.

chief agent at Detroit, to get them out
of Detroit, where their lives were en-
dangered. and give them all the pro-
lection they needed.
Fears Publicity Hurt Probe.
eve were just about to bring to a
climax our investigation of great con-
spiracy regarding the shipment of

Jamie will be quoted as saying that

grand jury a. South Bend any OF the
information he obtained from Osborne

SAYS HIGH TARIFF
q; VITAL TO LABOR
Golf Declares Workers Must.
|. Be Protected Against
Foreign Scale.

American labor is more vitality in
terested in a high protective tariff than
is the manufacturer because the manu-
facturer can live on his income or his
capital assets If compelled to do so,
Senator Goff, Republican Of West vir-
ginia, declared last night in an inter-
view on the pending tariff bill.
Tariff legislation" said Senator Con.
lis Of vital importance to capital and
labor. Each has its rights, and they
must be protected. Each knows that
they are and that they must be friends.
They realize that no man prospers I'M
less his neighbor and his nation prosper
with him.
+" This entire controversy resolves it
self into this issue: Do we want the
American wage Garner to prosper, to
be employed, and to maintain his high
standard Of living, or do we desire him
to lower himself to the standards of
cheap labor Of those countries"
Tells Of Foreign Investments.
Senator Goff declared that many
millions Of American dollars made I'M
der a protective tariff are today being
invested IN more imam ZUO MANUFACTURE
ing establishments In Germany, France,
Italy, Mexico Argentina. Japan and
other countries where wages OF labor
are from one-third to one-tenth of
what is paid in the United States"
:. such methods" the Senator con-
tinued, mot only impair our industrial
system and destroy the home market
for those who produce in every. field
Of enterprise, but they mean that
American capital employing pauper-
paid labor abroad. is to compete here
in our very midst advantageously with
those who invest, who labor and save
that capital may have its just reward
and the working man enjoy the ease,
the comforts and the advancements of
modern life, and offer to his children
the opportunity as well as the inheri-
lance to rise to higher things"
Senator Golf declared that mo Re-
publican tariff bill ever closed a fac
tory. put a mortgage on a farm or lost
an American citizen job. Protection
has made the American market the
greatest in the world" The West Vir-
ginia Senator added that American
labor has battled hard and long for
short hours and a saving wage, and
that whenever that wage is endangered
by lower costs Of production abroad the
tariff should be raised
