Chicago Gangs Outclass
New YOrk's. Saws Expert

CHICAGO, Sept. 30--New York
gangs are different from Chicago
gangs and New York police are eff
cient and not like Chicago police.
So said Frederic M. Thrasher, soci.
ologist Of the University of Chicago.
AS a gang expert he located 1900
gangs here in 1925. He is now col
lecting gang data for the New York
University.
"A few years ago when they were
at their maturity, New York gangs
were as powerful as they are in
Chica go" said Thrasher. There was
a maximum of organization and a
minimum of violence. Today the
New York gangs are in state of
senility. Few of the great leaders
are still living. Most of the re
mainder have retired and are big
business men in legitimate fields.

. ON ETHER AWAITED
Judge to Pass on Defense AS
sertion That Asphyxiation
Killed Japanese.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. September 18.-At-
torneys in the second-degree murder
trial of Mrs. Lois Pantages today
awaited Judge Carlos S. Hardy's de-
cision on the defense'S plea Tor admis-
sion of evidence, which, it was promised,
would show Juro Rokumoto, Japanese
gardener, died Of asphyxiation rather
than injuries received In collision be-
tween his motor car and that OF the
theater magnate'S wife.
In arguments on the plea yesterday
during which the jury was absent from
the courtroom, the defense contention
that the Japanese died of asphyxiation
while undergoing an operation was met
by the prosecution with the statement
that the plea was immaterial as the
operation was necessary because Of Ro-
kumoto's injuries.
VIII Call Physicians.
The argument began after Mrs.
PantageS was excused from the stand,
with the announcement by Max Steuer,
chief counsel for the defense. that he
would call witnesses to show the opera
ton during which Rokumoto died was
unnecessary, and the man was as
phyxiated by an anaeSthethic given
him." Steuer said the hub upon which
this case turns Is the cause OF Roku-
moto's death, and the defense was
ready to prove:
THE operation, made against Roku-
moto's wishes, was unnecessary, and he
was suffering no shock from accident
injuries at the time. Rokumoto died
of asphyxiation by the anaesthetic given
him, and no anaesthetic should have
been given him at the time"
Steuer said he had five physicians
ready to testify.
Denies She Was Drunk.
Mrs. Pantages denied prosecution ale
legations she was intoxicated and drove
to the left side of Sunset Boulevard into
Rokumoto's car. She said IT had not
had a drink of any Intoxicating liquor
that day, and tried so hard to miss
Rokumoto'S automobile when he turned
in front of me-" She added another
automobile forced her to the wrong side
ofsthe street.
At the close Of the session. Judge
Hardy said his investigation had proved
remarks made by Rev. r. P. Shuler over
his radio last Sunday that the Pautages'
jury was hung before a line of testi-
mony was taken were unwarranted, I'M
proved and without foundation. A COM
mittee of three appointed by the Los
Angeles County Bar Association handed
its findings to Judge Hardy The COM
mittee stated no evidence of corruption
had been found.
