CLIFTY FALLS STATE PARK,
MADISON, Ind, May 9.-BeautieS
of the Clark county state forest
where the Indiana conservation de-
partment maintains forest nurser-
les, were viewed today by delegates
to the ninth Annual National Con-
ference on State Parks. Ralph Will
cox, Indiana state forester, spoke
during the trip.
In an election of officers, Dr..
Stephen T. Mather, Chicago, was
chosen chairman for the third time;
William A. WEIGH, New York, vice
chairman, and Harry G. Trexler,
Allentown, Pa, donor of Spring Mill
mark to Indiana, director.
Following the trip the conference
ended after being in session since
Tuesday.
Responsibility of the government
in providing sanctuary in which
twentieth century citizens can OBJ
tain relaxation and relief from mod
ern strain and turmoil, was stressed
by L. F. Kneipp, assistant forester
of the United States Forest Service,
before the session Wednesday. He
said in part:
THE forest service has inaugur-
ated a program for establishment
and permanent protection Of rec
reational reserves for the aid OF
science and education and primitive
areas within which primitive en-
vironnent and habitation can be
maintained. In the years to come,
the people of this country will cher
ish it's early traditions and history,
viii desire to preserve in some de-
gree the traits, qualities and CHAR
acteriSticS upon which this nation
was founded, who wish to detach
themselves from the turmoil OF
modern existence may find within
such areas a sanctuary. They will
have the opportunity to revert to
simple types of existence in con-
ditions of relatively unmodit1ed ma
ture through which physical, men
tai and spiritual recreation or re-
generation may be attained"
Mrs. George Mcdonald, Ohio
Federation of Women's Clubs con-
servation chairman, urged women
to aid in molding public sentiment
for park development. She urged
appointment or more women on
park boards and commissions.

The general belief is that Torrlo's
support of Moran had given the
northside leader courage to dare the
execution of three of Capone'S most
valuable aides.
' On the other hand, Capone was
said to have sought support by I'M
ion of all southside leaders such
as Polack Joe Salts and Edward
(Spike) O'Donnel.
Investigation of the triple murder
indicated that the three Capone
men had been surprised by their
victims at table, much in the same
manner perhaps as Moran's seven
men were surprised st. Valentines
day.
The paths of the many bullets
fired into the three bodies proved
the three men had been shot IN a
sitting position, police said.

the other. Victory, however, may
mean only a brief escape from death
for the winner.
The latest mass murder in the
war between Capone and his
enemies claimed the lives of John
Scalise, Albert Anselni and Joseph
Giunta, veterans in gangland's
many beer vars.
The rank of the three victims in
Capone's organization convinced
observers that Capone's only de-
tense now is the death of Moran.
Although Moran's power dwindled
through the loss of seven of his
men st. Valentines day he has found
a new ally in Johnny Torrio, Chi
Cages first ganglord who abdicated
in favor of Capone, a former aid,
and sought safety in his native Italy.

DEATH OF A. CAPONE OR CHIEF FOE,
GOAL IN GANGLAND KILLERS RACE

The bodies all bore evidence OF
beating which was construed as the
results of third degree methods en-
ployed by the slayers to gain con-
LESSONS of the Moran massacre.
Scalise was under indictment for
the massacre murders, while he and
Anselmi both bore the enmity OF
the Moran gang on the theory they
killed Dion OBanion, the old chief
of the Moran mob.
The bodies were found in an eX-
pensive automobile in Hammond,
Ind, Just across the Indiana-Illinois
state line
Evidence indicated the slayers had
carried the bodies into Indiana to
escape the possibility of employing
the study of ballistics to trace the
killers, now practiced by Chicago
police.
