neys to the supreme court for a
writ of supersedeas was denied.

vealed by prohibition agents as
the alleged director of a huge
liquor smuggling business employ
ing airplanes as transports, Ralph
Capone. brother of Alphonse, was
expected to surrender today to
federal authorities who hold two
warrants for his arrest.
The liquor smuggling ring has

in Canada to Cicero, Ill, strong
hold Of the Capone gang, accord
ing to special prohibition agents
from Washington who nave been
working here for several weeks.
Two Night Clubs Raided
Led by Alexander Jamie, the
agents yesterday raided the Cotton
Club and the Greyhound Inn, but
they failed to find Capone, but
his attorney has promised his
client will surrender today. The
federal men hold warrants for
three other alleged members of
the Capone ring.
According to the federal men
two large airplanes, one a tri-

cases were carried in each nlane

SAVINGS GAINS
PROVES j. 8.
IS THRIFTY
Total Rose More Than 20
Billion Dollars From 1911
to 1929, N. Y. Trust Says

NEW YORK, May 9.-The re-
markahle growth of savings de-
posits in the United States within
the past 20 years affords striking
evidence of thrift and Of the
increasing well-being of the Amer.
ican people, according to the
index published by the New York
Trust Company.
The largest part of these saw
ings deposits is carried in mutual
savings banks. cooperative soci-
eties for savings. the review says,
adding:
I'm 1911, the amount of such
deposits was S7,963, 100, ,OO0, rep
reSenting 100000 accounts.
BY 1929, the total had risen to
S28,26O, ,OOO, 900, distributed
among 100000 accounts. At
the same time population had
increased by about One-third.
The largest annual gain Oc-
Cured in 1927-1928, amounting
to $2,322, 1000, 1000.
THE more rapid growth of
savings accounts, as compared
with rate of increase of pOpula-
tiOn, indicates that the ad-
vantage of savings facilities, as
now offered by the various saw
ingS and commercial banks, are
no longer being availed of
merely by the 'prOvident poor
but a fair crOSS-section of the
people of the nation.
This is probably one of the
reasons why the share of the
mutual savings banks in the
cOuntry's total savings deposits
declined. from 43.4 per cent in
1911 to 3O.5 per cent in 1928.
"DepOsitOrs in mutual savings
banks, however, showed much
greater resistance to withdraw
during 192S-1929 than those in
any other class of banks.
I'm the State of New York,
for example, recent figures show
a substantial excess of deposits
over Withdrawals for the $50
mutual savings banks of the
State in every week since that
date, excepting the final week
in December. The progress has
been particularly pronounced
since the beginning of the year."
