Scouts Handling
Traffic Work

Boy Scouts from Troop and pio-
ncers OF this same troop are direct
ing traffic each night this week on
Main street at the Fifth, Sixth and
Seventh street intersections. Atten-
tion of the public is called to the
fact that owing to the heavy traffic
at these intersections during Christ
mas week, the boys have been in
strueted not to permit [ turns nor
left hand turns at any time.
Lest the public might be led to
believe that these boys are acting
on their own initiative in doing this
work, Sterling Oswalt, chief of the
local police department, has given
them his heartiest endorsement and
asks the motoring public to give
them their cooperation. Traffic
must be regulated if accidents are to
be cut down and this is an effective
way of doing so, the chief said.
The boys will also direct the traf-
fic near the Fox Imperial theatre
tomorrow morning during the Elks
Christmas Tree party.

POLICE RENEW
EXTENSIVE HUNT
FOR GANG CHIEF

CHICAGO, Dec. "a. WR-Fred
Burke, the midwest's most amazing
fugitive since "Terrible Tommy"
O'Connor eluded the Cook county
gallows. was hunted with fresh
bursts of enthusiasm today in snow
bound parts of Michigan and Wis
consin. Search for Burke was accel-
Grated by the verdict of Conorer
Herman Bundesen's jury of Chicago
millionaireS which named the alleged
machine gunner as one of the exc
cutioners of the seven Bugs" Mo-
ran gangsters here last st. Nalen-
tines day.
That same verdict also raised
Burke's alleged criminal status with
the police. They regard him now
not only as the most dangerous man
alive but as the sharpest witted fu
gitive ever to elude capture.
A review of the crimes attribu
ted to this 80 year old suspect with
the keen grey eyes and the sleek
black hair takes him out of the
angster-criminal class so familiar
to readers of popular fiction. AL
though police are interested in him
first as a suspect in at least a dozen
murders and bank robberies, they al
so are building up bulwark of ev
idence intended to expose him as
master of disguises, a magician, a
political organizer; and Don Juan.
In addition to the 100000 III
stolen securities and the arsenal
which authorities found in Barke's
bungalow 'fort" at St Joseph,
Mich, after he had killed a Michi-
gan policeman recently, they discov-
cred that he owned every conceiv-
able disguise, that he was fond of
Young blondes with curley eye-lash-
IS and that lie played big part in
alleged vote frauds in northern In
diana. The latter enterprise was
believed to he a part of his work
as a leader in the notorious Al Ca
pone gauge of beer runners.

opposed to the employment of the
undercover agents, regardless of this
particular incident.
While there are indications that the

views on this question, there has been
no indication from the new Attorney
General that he is ready to sanction
the spy" system in the Federal prisons.

The enlisted personnel of the

branch, has been reduced to a
point where it is seriously af-
fecting the efficiency Of the Unit
ed States fleet in the opinion of
Admiral Charles Hughes, Chief of
Naval Operations.
Admiral Hughes described the
present situation as acute. He
declared that an increase to 49,
500 men from the existing auth
orized strength of $4,000 men
will be necessary to meet require
ments during the next fiscal year.
Admiral Hughes said the nom
aviation enlisted personnel has
been reduced by 1000 men since
1928 through curtailment of O.
900 of the total strength and an
increase Of. 5000 assigned to
aviation.
