LINK MURDERS
TO WARP ARE OF
GANG LEADERS
Fifth Victim in "a Hours
Slain as He Talks to
Detective.
By United Press

BIZ CHtte1 PfeS&
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Bullet rid
died bodies, reminders of a bitter
gangland war that began on the
night Scarface Al Capone returned
to Chicago, lay today in the morgues
of three midwestern cities.
Murdered as he stood talking to
a policeman in the business district
of Rockford, ILL.,, Joe Giovingo,
charged with being bootlegger,
Thursday was the fifth victim with
in twenty-four hours of a series Of
killings which officials believe are
connected.
Giovingo was not a follower either
of the Capone or Bugs Moran gangs,
between which the warfare allegedly
is being waged, but in an automo-
bile short distance from where he
fell police found Tommy Abbott,
notorious Chicago gangster. His
presence was considered important.
One theory advanced was that
Giovingo had been mistaken for Alb
bott, who was suspect in the muir
der of Alfred (Jake) Lingle, Tribune
reporter, and of Jack zuta, Capone
enemy slain in Wisconsin resort
hotel.
Police here connected the murder
with that of Danny VALID, shot down
in Niles Center late Wednesday, and
the killing of three men whose
bodies we're found along a Mime
sofa roadway.

BONDS MAY HELP
TRACK ELEVATION

quire about 100000 in bonds to
meet the city's share of costs, it is
estimated.
The works board requested the
Accent rate in the face of a demand
from south side citizens for the g.
cent maximum to speed the south
side elevation program.
The Belt bridge over White river
is under construction between Nor
ris and Raymond streets as the first
step in the elevation program. The
city'S share viii be more than $780,
600, which win be met by funds on
hand.
The 1881 program includes eleya-
ton to Madison avenue and re-
vamping Of the Belt assembly yards
and stockyards tracks, costing the
city about 500. 900. according to
Track Engines AZ. n. Bebee.

Financing of the city's share of
track elevation expense by bond is
sue next year is contemplated by
city officials, with the reported slash
of the track elevation levy from
cents to cent. One cent would
bring in about $4,000.
Track elevation is one thing that
is proper to finance through long
time bonds. The city has been
meeting this expense from one year
to another through tax levy funds, /"

said. The city's bonding margin is
about $500, 900, making it necessary
to guard the margin carefully in

BUDGET BOSS
IGNORES FEAR
OF EPIDEMIC
Controller Elder Admits No
Provision Is Made to
Fight Meningitis.
MAYOR TO HAVE FUND
$4,000 to Be Available for
Emergencies: Cut at
Hospital.
MAYOR TO HAVE FUND

City Controller William l.. Elder
has included in his 1881 budget no
appropriation to combat a cereoro-
spinal meningitis wave, which city
physicians expect to recur this WIN
ter, he admitted today.
However, the controller defended
his stand by revelation for the first
time that the administration con-
templates a $4,000 contingent fund
for Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan,
out of which emergencies could be
financed. The fund would be under
sole administration of the mayor,
controller and city council.
There will be one fellow sitting
on it hard" said Elder, obviously
with reference to himself.
SCOTS at Plague Fear
Although medical authorities say
history of meningitis epidemics in
other cities shows the malady re-
ours the second winter, Elder dis
missed the probability of the dread
plaques return to Indianapolis.
ooh, our city is different" he
said. 1--WE are not anticipating dis
ease"
The disease has taken 131 lives
since early last December, and there
were 1913 cases in all.
"We might have anything hap
PEN" Elder continued. "a flood or
confagration might come out of a
clear sky, like the last Democratic
city victory"
Other Cuts Reported
Heavy cuts in health and city hos
pital budgets have been decided up
on tentatively, according to city hall
gossip, although the department has
operated with a deficit for several
years. The department was in the
red about $4,000 last year. The
spinal meningitis epidemic cost ap-
proximately $4,000, appropriated at
different times, causing various de-
lays.
Elder refused to disclose the figure
agreed upon for hospital operation.
The hospital has new power plant,
out-patient and laboratory building
since last year, with about 100 adj
ditional beds.
"There1l be a general looking in
to things at the hospital. They've
been spending too much money, out
there" said James A. Houch, city
council finance chairman.
Houcn leaves Wednesday for a
two-weeks' vacation in the east and
it is expected that the budget will
be definitely decided before he
leaves the city. ~
