THE POTTER ORGAN RECITAL.

One of series of organ recitals. un-
der the auspices of the American Guild
of Organists, was given last night at
Calvary Baptist Church by Louis Pot
ter, fellow OF the guild, assisted by
Ruby Potter, lyric soprano.
Mr.. Potter evidently has a predilec-
ton for modern French music, since,
aside from some short Bach and
Handel, he had four selections OF that
school on his program.
The fact that a composition Is in
modern idiom and difficult to under
stand is inclined to lead an audience
to regard it with undeserved awe. Mr..
Potter merits gratitude for giving the
opportunity to his audience to COM
pare these different composers. The
first, symphony by Vierne, was char
acteristic of its composer, the famous
blind organist The next two short
pieces by a cotemporary Belgian. De

POlICtm
IN AUTO .ntfT
RING, He SAYS
Murder Squads Know
Department Decisions

CHICAGO, March Admission
that the murderous bootleg gangs,
which are the main support of many
Chicago city officials, have stretched
tentacles into the innermost coun-
ellis of the police department was
voiced by investigators for the
states attorneys office today, after
partial verification of the suspicion
that some members of the police
force were allied with crime.
Edward Coleman, for seven years
patrolman, confessed he had shot
Michael Bugario, racketeer, because
he feared Bugario would reveal the
patrolman's part in an auto theft
ring. Bugario was taken for a
ride" Saturday night.
The patrolman said he had been
working with Bugario for several
years, giving tips regarding automo-
biles which could be stolen. Buga-
RIO was trapped and demanded $500
of the ring to fight prosecution on
a charge of violating the Dyer act.
Murdered Seven.
Several witnesses have charged
that members OF the gangland firing
squad, which committed wholesale
massacre two weeks ago, were men,
bers of the police force.
1t has been shown the gangsters
are at least so close to police activi-
ties they are able to obtain infor-
nation regarding even the most Sc
cret moves. AS an example of this,
Il was pointed out that testimony
of DR.. Loyal Tacker in connection
with the massacre had not become
public knowledge, yet Tacker was
kidnapped and beaten and taken to
Detroit, presumably by gangsters
who feared his revelations might
lead to important arrests in the
gang massacre.
