Naturalization Denied.
The Federal District Court denied

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals

TO the decision of the Supreme Court
In the Schwimmer case. when a woman
was refused naturalization because she
would not promise to take up arms In

the way "for the creation of O class

involved deserves their moral support
and Justifles their taking up arms Ia

He declared the ruling, II permitted

~ the Associated Press.
TALLAHAEaEE, Fla. October a.
Charges Of bribery and Illicit connec-
uon with the Zuta and Capone ele-
ment," alleged to have been made
against State officials by two or three
newspapers Of the State" will be In
vestigated by Q special grand jury here
October 20.
Call for the investigation was issued

J. B. johnson on written request from
Gov. Doyle Z. Carlton who said "in-
situations arnd charges had been
brought primarily against him.
In his letter requesting the grand
jury inquiry, the chief executive sug-
geSted that the court call as witnesses

Jacksonville Herald.
Fred o. Eberhardt, editor Of the
Florida State News. in a brief state
ment declared he welcomed the investi-
CATION. but would insist that the grand

TRADE DISHONESTY
HELD CRIME BASIS
Col. Randolph Declares Un-
fair Measures and Rum
Traffic Are to Blame.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October S.-The under
lying causes of crime in Chicago are
two. Col. Robert I. Randolph, president
Of the Chicago Association of Com
merce and the man who appointed the
Secret Six" Crime Committee Of that
body, told q New York Board Of Trade
luncheon meeting today.
THE first" he said, sis the effect of
the prohibition law. The second, more
uimcult to describe or define, Is the in
creasing tendency or willingness on the
part OF many business men and inSti-
buttons, regarded and regarding them
selves as decent citizens, to purchase
special privileges, TO violate all law to
procure unfair weapons in the increas-
ing competition of our economic life."
Illegal profits made through the sale
OF liquor are the meat upon which the
crime octopus feeds, he said.
Conditions Now Worse.
An army Of thieves, thugs, gunner
and rascals has been built up in the
last IL years and government has
broken down in this country because
respectable citizens by the millions pay
constantly mounting tribute to those
drink II 1t was lawful" he continued.
I'VE had crime splenty when LIQUOR
was lawful, OF course, and the breeding
spots OF vice and crime were nearly
always to be found in tough saloons,
but the lawful liquor trade did not
have to support in order to live at all
the vast organization Of criminals that
now gets its sinews of its war against
society from the smuggling, manufac-
ture and distribution Of contraband
beer and booze. No other form of
crtminality is 90 universally condoned
or 20 literally supported.
The building up Of spurious 'busi-
ness associations" for the securing of
special privileges and price control of
certain. markets, Col Randolph de-
clared, has led to a system which preys
alike upon the consumer, the laborer
and the honest business man.
Urges Unions to Change.
Dishonest business agents of labor
unions have seized a power never in
tended for them, he charged, calling
on the rank and file of the union
labor" to purge their organizations of
such men.
But in the last analysis, Col. Ran
dolph said, the blame for a continu-
ance Of lawless conditions may be laid
squarely at the door of the citizen.
I'm this democracy Of ours we get
the kind of government we are en-
titled to-" he said.
I'VE are going to cooperate with our
honest public ofiicials wherever we can
find them" he said, support the honest
elements In our Police Department and
aid the forces Of the Federal govern
ment in breaking up the national or
ganization Of crime that has covered
the country like an invading army"
81 have faith to believe we will sue
ceed."

mass demonstration supporting it,
demands all the surplus in the city
treasury, half the swollen salaries
of the city office-holding politicians,

At the time of the appearance of

advertised as public session on the
$615,S69,098 budget.
That budget, proposed by Com

mentioned above $4,000 year for
Mayor Walker, $4,000 a. year for
the city controller and other such
grabs for an army of Tammany
leaders. The total set aside for the
police department is $62,000,000.
Last year the city administration
paid $772,000,000 to the various
banks and finance corporations on
city bonds. The delegation of the

that payment on the city bonds be
stopped and the money used for an
emergency fund for the unemployed.

first planned for Oct 20, will take
place, tomorrow Thursday, be-
cause of the public hearing arranged
by the Board of Estimates on the
