 Philadelphia, Pa, March 17 OJP) Little concerned with the dongs of the most glamorouS of all gang chioftanS. two and a half million good Philadelphians got out of bed this morning, ate their grapefruit and read in the papers that Alphonse Caponc, better known in the far reaches of the land as ''Scarfacc AT is getting out of jail today.
 Through the night q small crowd gathered before the great doors of the pcnintentiary. For the most part the crowd was made up of reporters. There were cameramcn in great numbers. One ncwsreel company even kept it's men at the prison en- trance all night, prepared 10 screen "Scarracc Al leaving stir with sound" at a moments notice. 200 At 1:30 A. M.
 The crowd numbered better than 200 at 1:3O a. m. when Warden Frank Smith, q robust fellow with gray hair, came down to the huge gate. The iron doors swung open with q rattling of chains and the warden stuck his head through.
 He chatted few moments with ewspapermen, assuring them that "Mr Caponc." was sleeping the sleep or the easy conscience, and that ab- solutely nothing in the way of de- partures could be expected before daybrcak.
 Located in the center of the city. the Eastern Penitcntiary will yield up the person of Chicago's thick Tipped gangland czar some time be- fore nightfall. Warden Smith said that Caponc would not be released until the necessary papers were re- ccivcd from Governor Fisher who is at Harrisburg, better than 100 miles away.
 The governor returned yesterday from a West Indies cruise. He reach cd Harrisburg late last night but an- nounced that he wasn't going to fool with any papers, gang chief or no gang chief. He would sign Al Ca pone's release order, he said, when he got around 10 il.

Commission Head De- clares 2.75 Per Cent Lager No Solution Finds Dry Statute Bet ter Observed Than Any Other Law.
Tells Senate Group Efforts of Federal Bureau En- trusted With Work Are Improving - Uncertain Whether Liquor Situa- ti0n Will Be Reviewed.

Washington, March r Pp-Chair- man Wickcrsham of the Hoover law enforcement commission said today 2.75 per cent alcohol in beer would meet the prohibition problem.
 Previously Mr Wickersham had said tkRt a report from one of the investigators of his corps showed that the prohibition law was being enforced better than any other law.
 Wants Another Year
 Asked directly if the dry law was being enforced MT. Wickersham re- piled that it was not 100 per cent and then mentioned the report of his special investigator, who was not named.
 Anothcrs year will be required by the commission to conclude it's work. the chairman said. He added he did not know whether the commission ultimately would decide to go into the merits of the 18th amendment, and the Nolgtead act.
 MT, Wickersham gave these views in. talking to newspapermen who saw him during a break in the exec utivc session of the judiciary com mittcc before which he appeared this morning to discuss the Norris reso- lution proposing an investigation of prohibition enforcement. F., The newspaper men talked with WiCkersham when the committee hadto suspend proceedings to an- swer senate roll call on the tariff. The committee members had vary ing views on the Norris measure. Wickersham at first seemed reluc- tant to talk with the press corre- spondents. He, however, retained a smile under the questioning.
 No Comment on Possibilities
 He said he was not ready to state to what extent the prohibition law could be enforced. He was emphatic in declaring that the law was not being enforced perfectly but neither is the law against murder" he added.
 He said he did not know the fu- ture course of the Hoover commits sion on expressing an opinion as 10 the 18th amendment
 It was indicated some time ago by Senator Jones, republican, Wash ington, that the commission might not express it's views on the dry law but Wicllersham said today that this still had to be determined upon by the commission.
 Dressed in a brown suit and wear ing spaS, the veteran lawyer and commission chairman smoked cigarette as he talked with the neWSpapermen.

BUDON|C PLAGUE
THREATENS CHINA
Systematic Fighting of Dis
ease Eliminates Chance
of Spreading.
nv the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
Summoned by Chinese authorities TO
combat beginnings of bubonic plague
epidemic in Shansi and Shensi prov
inces, Missionary Dr. Percy T. Watson
need not fear the relentless spread
which made whole world panicky in
past plaques.
For bubonic plague, still the most
important disease foe from an inter-
national standpoint, has felt the strong
curbing power of the public health serv-
ices Of all nations.
Surgeon Gen. Hugh S. Cumming of
the Public Health Service today said
the bubonic plague pandemic of some 40
years ago, in which about 100000
people died, was not likely to be re-
peated because Of preventive measures
which have been taken.
Rat Is Control Center.
AL maritime guarantees, he pointed
out are directed primarily against bu-
bonic plague, still so prevalent that the
infection was reported present during
the past year in all the great divisions
of the world but Australia.
Plague control methods, he said, CEN
ter on the rat that transmits the dis
ease, chiefly the large Norway rat, a
traveller. Inspections of cargo and
crews. periodic fumigation of vessels
from plague-infested parts of the world
and unceasing vigilance in rat destruc-
lion are among the maritime quarantine
measures to prevent introduction of the
disease.
Campaign Against Disease.
Warnings of outbreaks likely to spread
are furnished all nations through the
International Office of Public Hygiene,
with headquarters in Paris. Organized
early this century, when the pandemic
was still vivid memory, this Office
headed an offensive defensive alliance
against contagious disease. In 1926 it
was reorganized in a post war pact
which pledged signatory countries to
report occurrence of quarantinable dis
eases-plague, smallpox, yellow fever
and cholera.
In event of any open outbreak, United
States public health officers are called
in to take charge of the city in which
1t occurs, ferret out it sources and check
its spread.
DR.. Cumming estimated 10000 900
human beings have died of plague in
the last IS or 80 years. In 1900 the
disease appeared for the first time in
the United States, in San Francisco,
Calf, he said.

Twins in Class Mean
Trouble for Teacher

"Twins," complained the young
teacher; they're more trouble! It's
fun for them, but for US"
There were Evelyn and Elinor,
for instance, small twins, whose
great similarity was the despair
of the young kindergarten teacher.
If only their mother would dress
them differently or put some distin-
gushing mark on them! Should
she ask them in the morning which
was which and put labels on them?
Or what should she do? They
were adorable, blue-eyed, fair chill
dren with soft, light hair. If only
the hair of one were straight and
the other curly! But, no; even
their ringlets were exactly alike.
What should she do?
One morning they came to school
and, o, Joy! One had tooth out.
right in the middle of her upper
Jaw! The teacher ascertaiued that
the lacking tooth was from Elinor's
set of pearls. Now her problem was
solved and when she looked at Ell
inor and called her by name Ell
inOr. and not Evelyn, would answer.
One less worry she rejOiced.
But the next morning when they
appeared each child was minus a
tooth and each gap was right in
the middle of the upper jaw.-New
