"Get out while / search you"

GANGS WITH
BUGS MORAN
Lesser Gangster Murdered
BY Syndicate to Block
Rival Racketeer Activity

CHICAGO. April II d.N.s0-
The first move to wipe out minor
competition" was made today by
the big shots of Chicago gangland.
Joseph Cameron, alias Joe Blue,
mail robber, and former pick
pocket who according to police
attempted to muscle in" on the
bootleg racket" was the first Of
the minor competitors to be
eliminated.
An execution squad of gang
sters, armed with machine guns,
murdered Blue last night as the
minor racketeer made a desperate
attempt to escape in his small
sedan.
The murder was accomplished
with the efficiency expected Of a
modern gang king, and came just
after the really big shots among
Chicago gangsters were reported
to have signed an agreement to
work united under the colors Of
0CdA40OC IA NdPOAACs
RiddIed by Machine Gun
Blue was slain as he drove in
Blue Island Avenue. A big, dark
touring car pulled alongside the
racketeer's small sedan and a
machine gun ratified its death roll.
Blues automobile swerved to
the left and crashed into the
curb as the execution car dis
appeared.
When police arrived they found
Blue slumped in the seat with
nine machine gun slug wounds
in his head, back and shoulder.
Nine other bullet holes were in
the car.
Fits Into Scheme
While police were wary in nam
ing any of the big shot gangsters
in connection with the newest
murder the detectives said 1t
fitted into the scheme of the
booze, vice and gambling kings
to eliminate all competition large
or. small.
Blue according to police, had
long criminal record. including
arrests for picking pockets in
Milwaukee, st. Louis and Toledo.
He was sentenced to Atlanta for
participation in the $500 mail
truck robbery in Cincinnati in
1924.
Details of the reported peace
pact" entered into by the Capone,
Moran gangs were secret, but
the fact that Capone, personally
entertained some of the Moran
lieutenants in his headquarters
at the Lexington Hotel corrobor-
ated the report.
Further Substantiation Of the
report was seen in the public as
sociation at Colosimo's famous
restaurant Of Capone and Moran
gangSterS.
According to the reports the
two gangs have united under
Scarface AL to control the whole
city booze, vice, gambling and
rackets in the city. They will
have a common defense fund,
the reports say and a common
"bribe" fund to obtain protection.

SECRET MEET
FOR VOTING
IS BANNED
Unemployment, Postoffice P
Scandal and SIush Fund
Apathy Worry Senators

The hope of some administra-
ton leaders to secure confirma-
ton of Judge John j. Parker. of
North Carolina, as an associate
Supreme Court justice, at a
secret session of the Senate was
virtually abandoned today in the
face Of stiff Democratic -InSurgent
opposition.
The fight against Parker's con-
firmation, coming from organized
labor and negro associations, has
alarmed Republican chieftainS,
who probably will make another
effort to have President Hoover
withdraw the nomination. Some
leaders expected Judge Parker to
terminate the controversy by ask.
ing the President to withdraw his
name in order to save the admin.
istration from further embarass-
ment.
A few of Parker'S friends in the
Senate, worried by the demands
from their own States for repudia-
ton of the appointment, at first
sought to get pledges for secret
ballot on the confirmation. The
Democrats and Insurgents, who
are fighting Parker because of his
views toward organized labor.
Immediately declared they would
block such a move.
Senator Borah in opposing the
move said:
There certainly will be no
secret session on Parker. This
is the twentieth century and
the people won't stand for
any star chamber proceeding
in the consideration Of a nOmi-
nee for the Supreme Court"
Hit Negro Voting.
The opposition to Parker has
grown with amazing celebrity
since the Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
charged him with announcing,
while a candidate for governor
Of North Carolina some years
ago, that he would resign the
office if elected by a single
negro vote. The association al
so accused him of saying The
negro race was not yet qualified
for the responsibilities of good
citizenship. These charges
turned senator's against Parker,
who would have voted for him
despite the opposition of the
American Federation of Labor,
which attacked his ruling in a
miners union case in West Vir-
ginia.
The controversy has grown so
heated that Bert G. Voorhees,,
Republican State chairman of
Missouri. declared his State would
be lost to the Republican party
for two or three elections if
Parker were confirmed. He said
the confirmation would be the
first great affront given by
Republican President and Senate
to the negro race since the days
of Abraham Lincoln"
Voorhees,, telegraphing a pro-
test to Senator Patterson (RD of
Missouri, also struck at noted
"Sore spot" in the Republican
party-the political faith of At
torney General william D.
Mitchell. Voorhees, termed him
"our Democratic Attorney Gen
eral," referring to Mitchell's life
long affiliation with that party
prior to the Hoover presidential
campaign. The reference cen
tered attention on the fact that
leaders on Capitol
Hill were not consulted in the
Mitchell appointment and have
never approved it,

Contract buying becomes neces-
sary. Mr. Lang explains, when a big
stage star is signed up at fabu-
ious salary and then turns out to
be at flop at his screen test. The
advent Of the talkies, which ruled out
a number of movie actors and ac-
tresses who were stars as long as
they didn't have to open their
mouths, also caused a deal of it.
Among those who have accepted
cash in return for no labor are Ina
Claire, whose price was $55, 900:
Billie Dove. the voluptuous, who
took about half of her S., 1000 a week

Norma ferris and Leonore Uric.
If actors refuse cash for their
contracts, the practice is to pay
them their regular salaries, but
give them no work to do. This
IS known as letting them die on
the vine Screen popularity is a
tickle thing, and the star who drops
out for year or so has a hard time
staging a comeback.
So it's to the advantage of both
producer and actor when cash
changes hands and the contract is
ended. It's good business to pay
money for loafing
