GANGSTER WAR RESUMES
 IN CHICAGO; THREE KILLED

HAMMOND, Ind.-A triple staying this morning terminated the brief truce in the Chicago gang war. Three men, identified by newspaper men as John Scalisi,, Albert Anselmi and Joe Guinta, were found shot to death on a rural road. In the forfeit of their lives is seen retribution of foes for the massacre of George CBuggs") Moran and his seven clansmen in Chicago on St. Valentines day.
 Scalisi and Anselmi are reported to be henchmen of "Scarface" Al Ca pone. Scalisi had been released on S5O,O0O bonds a week ago, pending trial for the Moran gang executions.
 Two of the bodies were found heaped in the hack seat of stolen coupe,, the bodies being covered with blankets. Twenty feet away the other body was found
 Scalisi and Anselmi were known as the "duet- killers" and were regarded as the. ace. men of the Capone staff. Thrice. have they been charged with killing policemen, but each time es- capped conviction, contending that they thought the policemen were members of rival gangs.

Kings Bay, teir destination, without knowing it.
 They landed 40 miles inland, and Colonel Eielson said they had no hope of averting a wreck, but what he de- scribed as "luck" prevented any dam age. For six days he and Captain Wilkins were stOrmbound, and then they flew to Green Harbor, which on first sighting they believed to be a deserted village.
 There were only six or seven per sons there, most of them connected with the radio station. Why the Nor wegian government maintained sta tion where generally there was no business at all the Colonel said he was unable to realize. Only a few dollars business had been done all winter, but after the explorers ar rived it mounted to $3O,OOO in ten days.
 Colonel Eielson told briefly of the journey to Europe and their reception tion there There was a lot of amusement. but little sleep" he said. Returning to the United States, he and Captain Wilkins made a hurried tour by plane and then departed for the Antarctic. Colonel Eielson did not speak about explorations made in the south polar regions, but described the country. The members of the party had lot of fun with the pen guins, the peculiar birds that can walk and swim but cannot fly. They were very curious, and as there are no land animals in the Antarctic to molest them displayed no fear. Near the camp was giant rookery where millions of penguins lived.
 Before concluding Colonel Eielson expressed once more his thanks for the watch fob and the hospitality that had been shown him.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
FACES BUSY YEAR

At well attended meeting Of the
Vashon Island Commercial Club on
last Tuesday evening the work for the
year started off in most promising
manner.
Reports OF the various committees
was the order Of the evening, and these
indicated that our local problems were
being most ably handled.
The road program can not be con-
tirmed Until after the budget has been
made up. but the commissioners are be-
ing asked for enough so that il our
wishes are complied with our roads will
show marked improvement In the
next twelve months.
The problem of the new high school
quite naturally received careful con-
sideration. From the approval voiced to
the present plans as presented by the
chairman Of the committee on educa-
ton, it would seem that most feas-
ible plan had been worked out. A full
outline OF the plans. with figures to
show the financial phase Of the pre-
pOSielOu Will appear ia ucAI W6ck
News-Record. Delay in receiving full
confirmation Of all figures from the
county superintendent office prevent
ed this material reaching us in time for
this issue, and the committee were un-
willing to present the figures without
this confirmation.
From the interest shown at this first
meeting 1t would seem that never
in its history has the Commercial
Club faced such an apparently promis-
ing year. There are many problems
facing us that only such an organ.z-
alton, representative Of the whole COM
munity. can handle. It has been said
that the difference between success
and failure is hard work, and II this
is the case success Is in sight for we are
faced by situations demanding much
hard work, and they can only be met
by concerted action on the part Of all
desiring the best for the community
If you are not already member Of the
Club, now is the best time to become
one. and thus have the satisfaction Of
helping In working out these big COM
munity problems.
