Special Committee to Study

Report

Following a meeting yesterday
afternoon at which members of the
teachers council discussed the mat
ter of teachers salaries thoroughly
1t was decided to have the Senior.
Junior High schools and elementary
school councils appoint three repre-
sentatives to act as a special COM
mittee. This committee is instructed
to study the subject and bring in
recommendation at the April
meeting Of the council.
The salary schedule which would
give deserving teachers who have
reached the maximum salary rate
an opportunity to obtain a super
maximum salary was discussed and
the council was in general agree
ment that this request was reason
able. Supt. Stanley H. Holmes was
present at the meeting which was
considera bly, longer than the usual
meetings held by the organizations.
Some of the members were of the
opinion that the New Britain school
system was conservative in its salary
stand. The point was brought out
that a teacher who has been in the
service Of the school system for 10
years and as consequence receives
the maximum salary OF $4,000 had

Chicago, March 81 UP) - The
United States government today ar
rested "Scarface" Al Capone, motor
ious Chicago gang leader on a
charge of contempt of federal court
growing out of his attempt to dodge
a federal grand jury summons.
The warrant was served on Capone
as he emerged from the grand jury
room in the federal building where
he was being questioned concerning
the activities of beer runners in the
suburb of Chicago Heights. He gave
bond of $1,000 and returned immedi-
ately to his suite in the Lexington
hotel.
Although his name has been link
ed with almost every major crime in
the Chicago underworld in the last
five years, this was the first time the
so-called big shot" of beerdom had
been arrested in three years.
His previous arrest was on grand
jury indictment charging violation
of the prohibition law but the case
was dismissed for lack OF evidence.
Mabel Gets Her Man
1t remained for Mrs. Mabel Walk
er Willebrandt. assistant attorney
general in charge of prohibition en-
forcement to trip Capone. She in
vestigated the affidavits OF illness
that Capone presented here, and
found them allegedly false.
Mrs. Willebrandt instructed the
Chicago district attorneys office tc
arrest "Scarface" on a warrant
charging that he caused DR.. Ken.
meth Phillips In Miami to write 9
letter stating that Capone had con-
tracted bronchial pneumonia in Flef'
ida and would be unable to appeal
before the grand jury in Chicasl
because it would erdanger lii
health.
When the affidavit of illness wal
presented here early in the month
the date for Capone's appearance
was postponed from March - to
March 20.
"Scarface" accepted his arrest
with smile as the photographers
flashlights doomed at him outside
the grand jury anteroom.
"All right" he said after the war
rant had been read to him, what
do we do now?'
Capone's attorneys led him to the
chief clerks office where arrange
ments were made for the bond. He
then descended to the first floor
through lane of guards, entered a
taxi, and. accompanied by two
squads of detective bureau police,
drove TO the Lexington hotel where
he and his body guard occupy sew
eral rooms.
The district attorneys office made
it clear the affidavit concerning Ca
pone's health reflected no discredi,
upon the Miami physician named
thereon.

forged" Anderson said.
Assistant district attorneys took
their warrants before Federal Judge

SPLIT IN sight
ON farm relief
Rift Between Hoover and Con.
6res Leaders Is Looming
VIEWS DIFFER WIDELY
Surface Reason is Presidents Re-
fusal to Write Measure But Basic
Cause u Wide Difference In Opin.
lon ON Fundamental Principle.

Washington, March 27 R-A rift
appears to be developing In the re-
lations between President Hoover
and some Of the congressional lead
ers charged with drafting farm re-
lief legislation for consideration at
the coming special session OF con-
gress.
The surface reason Is the deter.
mination Of the president to refrain
from writing an agricultural mea-
sure and imposing 1t upon congress.
but behind that is a sharp divers-
ence Of views as to the funda men
tai principle Of the bill itself.
Some OF the farm leaders in con-
gress take the position that since
Mr.. Hoover led the fight before the
country for relief measure omit
ting the equalization fee principle
and interpreted the party platform
as to a specific program. he should
play the principal part in framing
the legislation to carry out his
views.
Among this group are those who
profess to be unable to determine
just what the party plan is. and they
advance this as a further argument
why the president should take the
initiative and guide the committees
Of senate and house which are
wrestling with the problem.
How Hoover SEES 1t
Tho presidents view IL that the
Kansas City platform provided 4
