|Aeillo's Murder Leaves Capone Supreme
AS Ruler of Chicago's Underworld
BY BRUCE CATION
NEA Service Writer

CHICAGO. Oct. 31.-The muir
der OF q former Italian commits
sion merchant who hungered for
the power. wealth and fame that
so with gang leadership, and went
down into the underworld to get
them. today leaves AL Capone, the
legendary bad man OF the south side
practically the undisputed king Of
Chicago's underworld.
When Joe Aiello crumpled I'D and
breathed his last under q machine
gun barrage, the swarthy Capone
clinched his title to sole leadership
Of gangland. One by one-and,
sometimes, two by two-he has
seen his rivals erased. OF all the
big shots who tried to get their
cut in Chicago's Illegal revenues
without diverting a share into Ca
pone's pockets, not one Of any
prominence remains. Capone's
victory is Just about complete.
Future Is In Doubt
Whether or not ii is final Is an
other question. yet to be answered.
Two things are possible. The Chi
cago underworld can settle down in
Capone's iron grip, with competi-
ton at a minimum and killings I'M
necessary: or there can be q final
desperate flare-up OH the part OF
the once-powerful North Side gang
with a great deal OF free-for-all
shooting and a frantic effort TO
knock out Capone himself.
The first alternative seems more
probable. But whatever happens.
the fact remains that right now
the North Side gang seems TO be
h~opelessly shattered and leader
less. Capone, over whose round
pate a number Of requiems were
ckanted when he went TO prison In
Philadelphia a couple Of years ago,
has come back" with a bang-with
a good many bangs, in fact. Those
jubilant announcements that he
was through seem to have been a
trifle premature.
Two Foes Dead, One Jailed
During the last few years Ca
PONIES enemies we're grouped I'M
der the leadership of a triumvi-
rate-George Bugs" Moran, Jack
Zuta and this Joe Aiello, who used
to conduct a flourishing and law
abiding business in the buying and
selling of fresh vegetables and who.
seeing the money that was TO be
made in the underworld. turned
crook and went out to get his. zuta
and Aiello are now dead and Moran
is in Jail.
The South Side outfit started
cunning for this unholy trio a long
a long time age. They opened the
attack with gangland's major Of
fensive to date-the St. Valen-
tines Day massacre. which sounds
like the invention Of some unbal-
aaced writer of dime novels but
which actually happened. A ga
rage that was one Of the head
quarters depots for Moran's whis-
ky trade was invaded one morning
by a squad of South Side execu-
TONERS. and the seven men who
were busy in 1t at the moment
were lined UP against a wall and
killed with machine guns. while
a startled dog, covering under a
truck, looked on and survived as
the only witness to the bloody af-
fair.
That massacre, sensational as II
vas, was not a success. It had
been aimed at Moran himself, who
was to have been present, and who
did indeed pass by the place half
an hour before the trouble started.

West dealt and passed, Richards in
the north passed, East passed and Eatons
opening spade bid in the south was over
called by Vests three hearts Norths
three-Spade call was lifted after East's
pass to four by South, which ended the
contracting.
When the queen of hearts was led it
appeared to Eaton as if he might lose
two tricks in clubs, two in diamonds and
one or two even in trumpS. With proper
play, however, he limited his losses to
one club trick and one diamond, thereby
getting five-odd, or one over his contract.
East's king falling on the first trick
showed that it was singleton, for with
a guard to it Vests three heart bid un-
doubtedly would have been supported.
This therefore placed West with the other
eight hearts. South then led the trump
ace, and the drop of Vests queen showed
that he had no more, and therefore had
exactly three cards between diamonds
and clubs.
The ten of clubs was now led and Sacri-
feed to the jack of East, who hated to
lead away from his hand. He chose the
king of diamonds, which lost to the ace,
North returning another diamond for
East to win with the queen. Now no
matter what East leads North gets the
rest of the tricks. Forcing East to lead
twice wrecked the latter's hand in a way
that could hardly be cooked up with a
stacked deck.

DRAWING for partners and deal-At
- the start of each rubber, in regular
rubber play, a shuf1ed pack shall be
spread face down on the table. Each
player draws by lifting a card from the
spread pack and showing its face. If
a player shows more than one card, or
one of the four cards at either end of
the pack, it is miSdraw by that player
and he must draw again. In the draw,
as between cards of equal rank the suits
rank: Spades highest, hearts, diamonds
and clubs lowest. He who draws highest
becomes the first dealer and has choice
of packs of cards and seats; he may con-
suit his partner before choosing; but,
having chosen must abide by his de-
cision. He who draws second highest is
dealers partner and sits opposite him.
The third highest has choice of the two
remaining seats; fourth highest takes the
vacant one. At the beginning of every
rubber the players draw for partners
and for choice of seats and packs.

Search for BerylHum.

THE discovery of the value of the rare mineral
beryllium to the construction of airplanes
has brought about rush to find supplies to
meet the demand. The result has been rs
blasting to the hopes of many as the finding

For one thing, had the mineral been found
in anything like the quantity its search might
have disclosed, there would be far too much
of it to carry much value.
The only common mineral containing beryl-
1ium is beryl, and this yields but five per
cent of the pure metal. Numerous samples of

but the hopes were gTomdless, for the samples
sent in were found to be rose, citrine, milky

are quite similar in physical appearance, such

and insolubility in acid, which accounts for

The forcing takeout, which is now used
by more than nine-tenthS of all good
contract players in all parts of the
country, is one feature developed by the
new game which has become practically
standardized. Another name for the
same thing is Jump shift" 1t is used
only after partner has bid, and consists
of a takeout-a bid of some suit not
named by the original bidder, one higher
than necessary to over call Thus, one
diamond having been named by original
bidder, his partners bid of one heart
would not be forcing, but two hearts
would, for the bid would be one higher
shan necessary; two clubs would not be
forcing, but three clubs would, since it
is one higher than the minimum. The
minimum strength indicated by it is
usually about three high card tricks, or
else a good two-suiter Original bidder
must not pass after such a force by
partner, who has guaranteed enough
strength to bid again even if the original
bid is minimum
Most players, if they raise partners
suit bid, show the full limit of their
strength by the raise. Some, however
have developed forcing raise" in the
partners suit, notably Gratz NJ Scott
president of the Cavendish Club, and
Edwin A. Wetzlar, its secretary, who
form one of the greatest tournament
pairs in the game. AS they use it,
player raises his partners suit bid by one
if he has the strength for that raise. He
also raises 1t by exactly one if he has
the strength for double raise. He does
not raise it by two unless he has a triple
raise. The latter type of raise, there
fore, is the forcing raise, for it shows
the original bidder a reserve raise; he
can go one higher himself even if he has
a minimum hand knowing his partner
has guaranteed the strength for it. Pre-
ferably, he must bid something different
from his original bid if he can, for it
may be that partners hand can better
support the second declaration than the
first, or the making of the second de-
claration may disclose the presence of
a better no-trumper than a suit hand.
1t also may reveal slam possibilities
which otherwise could not be located.
When using this device, if partner
raises your suit bid one, you don't know
whether he has one raise or two; if you
are strong enough to bid once more your
self you will find out, because he will
then give you his second raise when he
has one If, however, you happen to
have a minimum hand you will wind up
playing for two instead of three, giving
you a margin of safety.
