GOULD AFTER MORE GOLD
BUYS Seaport to Build Huge Casino

Gould dug deep in his pockets
and bought the entire seafront
and half the town.
He is starting by restoring the
old Norman Notifications and the
narrow streets with houses almost
meeting overhead. His first casino
is barely worthy of the name, but
a million dollar palace is ready on
paper to replace it. The sandy
beach, like Deauville, is expected
to prove to be gold dust, and no
Roman emperor ever bathed in
more glory than will the paying
guests of Americas gambling
baron.
TITO make things complete,
i Gould bought all the hotels in
Granville, to make sure that he
had no competition, and now is
building another, with a private
underground passage to the
casino. In the casino is a gold
vault with reinforced concrete
walls four feet thick and room
enough to hold gold bars of a.
total value of $10,000,000.
Gambling is business, not 2,
sport, nor a weakness" is the
Gould motto. He often has COM
pared his green table investment
to Wall Street stock trading, and
sees the baccarat business finan-
cially and morally superior.

MINERS PLEA
TURNED DOWN
Request for Guard to Pre-
vent Rioting Refused.

Requests of officials Of the Bono
mine in vermillion county for a
special machine-gun guard at the
mine to prevent renewed rioting
have been refused by Attorney
General James NJ. Ogden.
Ogden today received word from
Harry Newland, Vermillion county
sheriff, that investigation of fears of
the mine officials disclosed them
unfounded.
Three men have been lettering
about the shaft, this being the basis
for the fears, Newland informed the
encouragement. Newland named
the men and said they were miners
seeking employment.
Machine gun guards were eStab-

DARIS, May 22.-Frank Jay
Il Gould, having found gold in
his first gambling venture at Nice,
is looking for new worlds to con-
quer, and has decided to buy up
the ancient Normandy seasport
of Granville and declare war on
Deauville.
With gambling casinos at Nice
and Bagnolles, and plans under
way to build the most luxurious
baccarat place in the world at
Granville, Gould will stand out
as the worlds greatest impresario
of the green tables.
His next closest rival is Fran
co.'s Andre, "cZar' Of Deauville,
with casinos at that rich resort
as well as at Cannes, La Baule and
Monte Carlo and shares in the
baccarat house at Ostende.
WHEN Gould decided to de-
w clare war on Deauville and
Andre, he studied the map of
France and discovered that while
Deauville is swept by cool currents
that pour into the English channel
from the North sea, Granville,
only seventy-f1ve miles to the west,
has constant summer weather, as
it is swept by the gulf stream.

CREMATION OF
VICTIMS new
GANG SYSTEM
Slain Gunmen Are Burned
After Death Ride to
Avoid Detection.
INQUIRY is ORDERED
NO Body, No Murder Is
Theory of Chicago
Racket Chiefs.
INQUIRY is ORDERED
BIZ United Press


CHICAGO, May 22.-Reports that
gangland has been driven to burn
ing the bodies of its ride" victims
to defeat the new scientific methods
of crime detection reached John
Siege, deputy commissioners, today.
Siege assigned a squad of detec-
tives to investigate this startling de-
velopment in Chicago's gang wars.
At least two of Scarface Al Ca
PONIES gangsters suddenly have
dropped out of the Chicago crime
picture.
A bag Of human bones has been
found in forest preserve, and in
formation has been unearthed that
the gangland "crematory'' is in a
basement furnace on the northwest
side.
The two hood1umS who, Siege be-
lieves, met a fiery fate at the hands
Of their enemies, are Benny Ben
nett, former New York gambler and
protege of Capone, and George
Higgins, who turned traitor to his
northside allies and went over to
take his place with Scarface's south
side gangsters.
Twelve Others Suspected
The investigation today was en-
livened by reports that twelve other
gangsters may have met the same
fate.
Information reaching detectives
indicates that the new gang death
procedure is as follows:
The gangster marked for death
and cremation is forced into the
orthodox curtained limousine and
goes for the ride" from which there
is no return.
Somewhere on a lonely road he
is shot to death, his body wrapped
in a robe and then taken to the
makeshift "crematorium."
There the body is burned and the
bones sacked in burlap.
The one sack found so far turned
up in a northwest side forest pre-
serve, an easy drive from the loca-
ton Of the death furnace.
The sack was found in April, but
little attention was paid to it until
reports filtered in about the new
methods Of covering up gang muir
ders.
Detectives assigned to the case be-
lieve the bones iii this burlap sack
are those of Bennett.
Feared Ballistics
The impromptu cremations, the
detectives deduced, we're decided on
when ballistics experts began to dig
bullets from ride" victims bodies
and weave a tell-tale chain of evil
dence against certain gangs. Sat-
iSf1ed that one gang was responsible,
police began to apply pressure which
resulted in slackened profits and
considerable harassment from raids.
mo body, no murder" the gang
sters found otu by experience and
mo murder, no pressure" So came
into being the gangland crema-
ton.
Bennett, the gambler, was an es-
pecial friend of Capone and became
rich through the favors of the Big
Shot. He disappeared Feb. IA, the
first anniversary of the st. Valen-
tine day massacre after receiving a
telephone call from George Bugs
Moran, north side gang leader. He
hasn't been seen since.
Higgins, union racketeer and beer
runner, disappeared two months ago
soon after he deserted Moran and
went over to the Capone interests.

STAYING THEORY IN
DEATH OF BROKER

younger man is a student in Butler
university, indianapolis.
Coroner Allen Kenoyer of Newton
county, while holding to theory
of suicide, said he would withhold
a finding in the case until after the
funeral today.
The elder Simons, the coroner
says, had been gloomy since being
injured in an automobile accident
a few years ago. The official as
serts wounds from an old style re-
volver found with the body could
have been self-inflicted.
Chicago police are investigating
the dead mans business affairs Co
find possible motive for his death.
