WOMEN CHANCE.
MANY LAWS

Laws affecting the lives Of
33,O00,000 women have been
passed since women Cf the United
States have had the vote, accord
ing to Mrs. Burnita Shelton Mat
thews. chairman of the lawyers
council of the National Woman's
Party, in a radio speech last
night over the National Broad
casting Company system.
Measures removing legal dis
ordinations against women have
been adopted in "a States ana

Tn the ten years since women
have had the vote the cause Of
equal rights has made extraor-
dinary progress" Mrs. Matthews
said. Every now and then some
body asks, What have women
done with the vote?' What they
have already accomplished is an
answer to this question. The
fact that they have brought about
remarkable changes in the laws
of practically half the States of
the Union is evidence that they
have impressed their power upon
political parties"

HOOVER To PICK
HIGH COURT
MAJORITY
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
international News Service

President Hoover probably Is
destined to completely remake the
United States Supreme Court dur
ing his Administration.
In the White House but little
more than year, Mr.. Hoover has
already been called upon to name
two members Of the highest Ameri-
can tribunal. He filled one va
cancy with the appointment Of
Charles Evans Hughes, and he has
yet to appoint q successor to the
late Justice Edward Terry San
ford.
While no other vacancies ap.
pear imminent in the court, there
is the venerable Oliver Wendell
Holmes, now in his ninetieth
year: Justices Van Devanter and
Brandeis are past the retirement
age, being II and IA, respectively.
In two more years, before the
Hoover term expires, Justice Nc.
Reynolds. who is 68, and Justice
Sutherland. also 68, will be eligi-
BILE for retirement, whie Justice
Butler, 66, will reach retirement
age in 1888.
OF course, they may not re.
tire. There is the example be-
fore them of that grand old
patriarch, Justice Holmes.
But whether any of the Justices
voluntarily retire or not, fate is
capricious thing, and the NOR
tality rate among men of seden-
tary habits and occupation after
reaching IS is fairly high.
Thus it is wholly probable that
in the natural course Of events
the personnel of the highest
American tribunal will be almost
completely changed during the
Presidency of Herbert Hoover. It
is a weighty responsibility, and
the effects of the changes will
be felt in American affairs for
many years to come.

DWELLINGS

TAKOMA PARK, Md, March
19.-Brush fires have been pre-
valent in this section for some
time, and yesterday the Volunteer
Fire Department was called out
twice. and extinguished fires
endangering dwellings.
The first alarm came from
Poplar Avenue, and when the
firemen arrived a vacant dwelling
was just beginning to catch fire.
Firemen attributed the cause to a
careless passing pedestrian, who
threw down a lighted cigarette
or match. The second alarm
came from the TOO block Erie
Avenue.
These recent fires have become
too frequent, officials said, and
steps would be taken Immediately
to determine their origin, and
attempt to curb them.

Dodge Tariff Question
The coal tariff schedulee was
considered a delicate matter" by
the mine union, Secretary-Treas-
urer Thomas Kennedy informed
delegates during consideration o.
a resolution to support a pro
tective coal tariff proposed by
Local 1862, of Wiconisco, Pa. This
resolution was referred by the
convention to the International
Executive Board for further con-
Sideration after Kennedy spoke.
Importation of Welsh coal into
Boston in competition with Penn
sylvania-mined anthracite coal.
an dother imports from Soviet
Russia, Canada and other, parts
of the British empire probably
motivated the resolution, Ken.
nedy said.
However, Kelledy pointed out
that Pennsylvania coal operators
and miners feared that Great
Britain would establish retaliatory
tariffs, if the United States at
tempts to build a coal tariff wall.
He said the Welsh import only
1900 tons a year while Canada
buys 100000 tons of anthracite
coal from Pennsylvania annually.
However, he said the interna-
tional organization is backing
strongly a high tariff on coal.

AND POLICE BAFFLED IN HUNT FOR CAP0NE
GANGSTER SAID.
To HAVE BEEN
IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, March 10 0N.S)-
Al Capone secretly visited Chicago
last night.
This was learned today by Inter.
national News Service on reliable
authority, while police asserted
that they were still in the dark
as to his whereabouts.
It was reported that Capone, re-
leased with the utmost secrecy
Monday from the Eastern Peniten-
tiary in Philadelphia, had gone to
indiana, following his brief stay
mere, and was to hold a business
conference" there with his chief
neutenants at a secret rendezvous.
HIS next stop, it was reported, will
be Florida.
Iuded the Police.
In entering Chicago, Capone
eluded police guards which all day
Yesterday maintained a constanh
vigil at all his known haunts and
at every conceivable point of en-
trance, including airports.
According to the International
news Services information, Scar
lace Al' resorted to the strategy
OF arriving in Chicago from the
southwest while expected from
the East.
Instead of coming directly from
Philadelphia, it was said, he went
TO st. Louis by train, and then
came to Chicago on the Chicago
and Alton railroad, arriving here
at 1890 p. M, accompanied by
his wife, son and his bodyguard,
Frank Rio, who served his Phila-
delphia jail term with him.
Trainment Knew Him
"Trainmen recognized him
recognized him readily, and he
made no effort to shield his
Identity" one informant said.
When he left the train he shook
hands with the trainmen, waved,
and said: See you again, boys
and hurried away. Whether they
took a taxicab from the station,
or were met by a private car, I
was unable to learn"
just what course the police
would follow if they did find the
gang chieftain in Chicago was
not revealed. They declared yes
terday that their principal aim
was to prevent him from receiv-
ing an elaborate reception, either
peaceful or otherwise.
He might not have been ar
rested if he had come into town
quietly" said Deputy Commits
sioner of Detectives John Siege.
Calls Him HOOdlum
"He comes under the classified
ton of hoodlum, and all hood
luns are to be arrested on sight"
he stated. "Our main interest in
Capone right now is to know
where he is and what he is doing.
We haven't any charge against
him right now, but he will be
arrested and turned over to
States Attorney Swanson for
whatever prosecution Mr.. Swanson
cares to institute.
The Deputy Commissioner said
he did not anticipate a renewal
of gangland warfare with the re-
turn of Capone.
But if there is," he added, ut
will be just too bad for him."
Faces Federal Charge
Capone may be arrested by
Federal authorities on an old
charge of contempt.
Police concern over Capone'S
whereabouts is due chiefly to the
desire to thwart the portended
renewal of gang wars, Siege de-
clared. Because of the recent
Capone invasion of the Bugs"
Moran territory on the North
Side, such a flareup is possible,
according to Siege.
"Under ordinary conditions I
don't think he will be slain," said
siege. "Capone usually has from
10 to Is bodyguards with him
constantly, and it would be diff
cult to take him for ride or to
have him put on the spot"

 S0UNDERS SILENT WHEN INDIANS HEART "ACTS UP"

Indians, avalanches and bull moose are some of the things the linemen on the Dominion Telegraphs have to contend with, according to Tommy Hankin, operator from Echo Lake station, who passed thru Wrangell last week.
 Once when Tommie went out to look for trouble he found an old ndian squatting beside a break in the line where pole had been chopped down.
 Pretty near my heart stop beating, so I cut the wire with my axe," the old fellow con fessed. q know somebody would come. I all right now. You tell them I did it."
 Avalanches in the spring and bull moose in the fall help to break the monotony, Tommie said. On long spans where the line hangs low the moose are apt to get tangled in the wire, interrupting communication be- tween Dawson and the outside world.
