we're made public today, revealing
that the slain gang chieftain had
trafficking with additional scores
of men In high political position

Among those revealed to have
received cheeks from Zuta were
Nate Delue, assistant business
manager for the Chicago Board
of Education; Attorney Simon
Herr, and Paul w. Rothenberg,
Republican ward committeeman.
These names were added to q
list Of more than q score Of poll
ticianS, lawyers. policemen and
Legislators already revealed as
having received checks from the
gang leader.
Zuta's records also yielded tele-
grams and letters which tend to
show an attempt was planned to-
influence Governor Carlton of
Florida in appointing q Judge OF
the criminal court and criminal
prosecutor. An effort was also
made to interview Attorney Cen
eral Fred FL. Davis, of Florida, ac-
cording to the telegraIl1s.
Prosecutors interpreted the ne
gotiations as evidence that the
zuta syndicate had begun prepare
tionS for some large operation in
Florida, or that member Of the
Aiello- zuta- -Morans gang was IN
criminal difficulties.
Among zuta's records was
found q list of eight Republican

and messages Of greeting were
also found. In this lot was q
business card of Frank Yale.

was presumably in the cigar
manufacturing business.
That Zuta welded a power In
police circles was revealed by q

failing the confession Of q girl

VA, BRIDGES

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 81,
Federal aid road and bridge
money recently withdrawn by the
United States Bureau of Public
Roads from projects calling for
the construction of bridges over
the New River at Glenlyn, in
Giles county, and at Jackson's
Ferry, in Wythe county, both in
Virginia, will be restored for use
by the State of Virginia. it has
been learned here. Approxim-
ately 100000 is involved.
This change is due to the fact
that, after making a new survey
Of the two rivers concerned, the
United States War Department
has notified the bureau Of public
roads that it has modified its
previous notice to the bureau In
which it took the position that
the rev River and the Staunton
River were navigable in Virginia
AS a result Of this notice, the
bureau Of public roads withdrew
the Federal aid money, which
had been made available for use
of the State highway department
in constructing the Glenlyn and
Jackson's Ferry bridges, over New
River, and the Brookneal and
Clover bridges, over the Staun.
ton River.
The War Departm en- It's
amended announcement is to the
effect that it holds that the New
River is not navigable, but that
the Staunton River is. The eff.
feet Of this is to restore the
money which was to have been
applied to the two bridges over
New River, but to leave Federal
aid in the same status it was
with regard to the Brookneal
bridge, in Campbell county, and
the Clover bridge, in Halifax
county.
The maximum Federal aid al
located to the Glenlyn bridge
is $55,556.77, and to the Jack.
sons Ferry bridge $47,312.31. The
Brookneal bridge has been com.
pleted and the other three
bridges are nearing completion,

Department would have the legal
power, to tear down the two
bridges over the Staunton River

more ministers of the Methodist
Protestant Church, attending the
Maryland annual conference here
yesterday, were divided on the
proposition of mentioning guber.
material candidates by name from
their pulpits in the present politi-
cal campaign.
Declaring that candidates lose
their personalities and become Off
cialities, the Rev. DIR. l.. B. Smith,
president of the conference, took
the stand that names should be
used. Expressing loathing for a
man who straddleS. he added that
he was not telling the ministers
what to do and that each could
present the situation In his own
way.
objection to the use of names

was expressed by the Rev. DR.. J. N
Link, pastor Of Starr Church. and
the Rev. j. Leas Green. pastor OF
Edmondson Avenue Church. They
agreed that it was their duty to
speak frankly regarding moral
issues and principles" and that
members should be left to draw
their own conclusions.
DR.. Green said he thought the
minister who omitted personalities
from the pulpit would have more
influence with his people when he
came out Of his pulpit than one
who allied himself in the pulpit
with a particular candidate. Deal
ing with personalities, according
to Mr.. Link, might hurt rather
than help realization Of the sue
cess of moral victories.

Accepting the challenge Of the

Gov. Albert C. Ritchie last night
charged the Republican admins
tration of Baltimore with failure
60 carry out this work rather
than his own State organization.
Governor Ritchie'S acceptance of
the Republican gage OF battle
thrown down by Mayor William
Broening, of Baltimore, Repub-
lican candidate for governor, was
made here last night.
Blames BrOening
Denying the Republican charges,
the Governor brought the counter
charge that Mayor Broening and
his cohorts had failed to take
any action on this problem
despite the fact that the legis-
,lature had passed an act in 1927
giving authority for any city or
county to establish a system OF
old age pensions.
The Governor said:
''The net of 1927 gave the
mayor and city council specific
authority to establish such .
system. Ever since this act
was passed Mayor BrOening
and the council have had it

AS a result of over two weeks

work has been just completed by
Capt. Roy Fonke, aeronautical en-
g1neer, survey expert and chief
instructor of The Washington

ton OF a series of papers to be
published on modern methods OF
aerial surveying.
An interesting photograph of
the city Of Alexandria has been
produced. This picture, taken
from an altitude of over 1000
feet, is Of exceptional clearnesS.
This picture, it has been demon
strated. with the proper ground
controls can be developed by
geometrical methods into a map
more accurate than one produced
by the old ground survey method.
The value of aerial surveying
is that work over a very large
area can be carried and produced
in less than onefourth the time
which would be taken by ground
surveying methods. The cost Of
aerial survey is far less than that
OF the old method.
