Indianapolis Congressman
Undecided as to Vote
on Grundy Bill.

o" W lassf fRHsSfs June 8. = Al
though he favors reasonable"
tariff bill, Representative Louis
Ludlow of indianapolis still is I'M
decided as to how he will vote on
the Grundy law, when the show
down roll call comes on the confer
ence report.
st will approach it with open
mind and withhold decision until
the bill takes definite shape and 1
can make a close study Of it's pro-
visions" Ludlow said today.
."I am now, as always, for tariff
that will afford reasonable protec-
ton to the manufacturers of the
country as we'll as to the producers
on the farm. I mean by that such
a fair and reasonable measure Of
duties as was advocated by both OF
the great political parties in their
1928 national platforms, and as
President Hoover had in mind when
he called the special session OF con-
gress last year. to revise the tariff.
Insofar as an individual member
is permitted by The rules OF tariff
revision to express himself by sepa-
rate votes on individual items, 1
have tried to do my part to hold
the Hawley-S moot bill down to this
ideal of tariff revision and to pre-
vent excuses from being written
into the measure"
Ludlow pointed out that he was
on record in favor of free lumber,
free shingles, and tariff OF only
6 cents a hundred pounds on &C.
ment, against the rate of cents
adopted by the house.
But he is disposed to vote for the
Grundy bill if a satisfactory ar
rangement of the disputed admins
tration provisions can be worked
out in the senate.
81 believe that is the sort of tariff
indianapolis wants." he said

turned states evidence to testify
they were threatened with prosecu-
ton and death unless they assisted
in the burning.
They are Mrs. Frances Lelota Mill

lest wholesale massacres follow the
flare up of gang warfare that took
six lives over the weekend, police
moved swiftly in a roundup of hood

cago jails we're crowded with sus-

Nearly 200 men, most of them
alien Sicilians, were in custody early
today, being held for scrutiny by
federal immigration authorities who
have been asked to resort to depor-
tation wherever possible in order
that Chicago may be ridded of UNI
desirable persons.
During the night, police squads
cruised about the city, moving in
mass formation against places
known to be haunts Of gunner and
gang members.
Two of Scarface AL Capone's
gangSters were run down and cap
tured in sensational chase shortly
after the big drive got under way.

caught sight of them. In the chase
that followed the second and third

pushed into the curb. Frank Dia-
mond, in the first car, outdistanced
the pursuing police machine and

Other notorious gangsters arrest
ed included Machine Gun Jack Nc
Gurn, Capone big shot; James
Belcastro, reputed bomber and
Ralph (Chink) Avino, both known
as Caponeites.
The capture of Andelman and
Foster brought from Siege the dec
laration that there was no doubt
