Chicago, Oct 8 P>-The Herald | and Examiner hears that organized crime in Chicago is raising a mil lion dollar fund to be dedicated to the purpose of putting Police Com missioner John Alcock out of office. The newspaper quotes an un- designated official source:
 We know the fund is being rais- ed. We know it is intended to be one of the biggest underworld lobby funds ever collected in Chicago and million dollars is not the limit either. The purpose is to collect as much as necessary And the money is to be used 'discreetly'."
 No Rough StufT''
 The need for "discretion" is taken to indicate that the gang powers are anxious to avoid any rough stuff tkat might stir public indignation.
 The newspaper was unable to say today how gangland intended to use the fund to effect removal of the police commissioner. The reason Alcock is wanted out of the way, the paper explained, is because of his activity in arresting gangsters and in breaking up their systems of fixes"
 The eighth public enemy" to be arrested was James (Fur) Sam mons, who was held in jail today on a yangrancy warrant in lieu of Sh0 00O hpnI police record, dating back to 1900

D|VORCESOUGHT
!. BY POLA NEGR|

PARIS. Oct. 10 QNS)-The
matrimonial troubles Of Pola
Negri. the American film star,
took a turn for the worse" to-
day when the actress presented
herself unannounced at the
Palais de Justice and demanded
a divorce from Prince Serge
Mdivana. young Georgian noble
man.
Convinced that her matrimonial
barque had foundered hopelessly,
Miss Negri applied for contin-
uance Of the divorce action which
ended in a dramatic reconcilia-
ton in the judges chambers at
the Palais de Justice last Decem-
ber.
At that time, the Paris courts
hesitated to grant the divorce,
chiefly because of the widespread
publicity which had attended the
action. The judge then followed
the traditional procedure of Civ.
ing the interested parties one
final chance to patch up their
difficulties.
The prince looked at Pola and
Pola looked at the prince. Then
they flew into each others arms,
Today, however, Miss Negri
came to the Palais alone and
made it clear the reconciliation
had been a hopeless gesture and
that a final and unequivocal di.
vorce now was the only solution.
