THIS phase of the operation was the most
] daring episode of the whole project, for
the two agents knew well before they started
that the slightest misstep meant certain death.
Every Intelligence Unit operative who worked
on the job in Chicago reported, at one time or
another a direct threat upon his life. either
by word or action These reports, now safely
in the hands of District Attorney johnson, re-
veal that Capone fought with tiger-like de-
termination up to the very day of the in

When threats failed. he tried bribery. "He
was not convinced to the very end that he was
in a case which could not be fixed" Wilson
once reported to his chief in Washington
Beginning in Cicero, suburban nerve center
of the entire Capone organization, these agents
began as the roughneck habitues Of the beer
joints always on the alert for little piece
of change from a job Of one sort or another.
It was from days of mere hanging around
that these two revenue men learned OF the
Cicero bank. which was the clearing house
for Capone money
other agents sent to examine the books of
the bank found mysterious accounts under
half a dozen names. They were mysterious
accounts principally because of the violent
fluctuations of the daily balances and sec
ondly because of the irregularity of amounts
of deposits. These characteristics at once
marked them as racketeer accounts.
But even an examination of the old checks
and deposit slips did not establish a positive
connection with Capone
These checks were invaluable, however, for
they revealed the existing lines of the under

ends of the tentacles of the system
Through this method of procedure a speak
easy proprietor was found who bought three
kegs of beer a day 1t was no particular
secret so far as he was concerned that the
stuff cost him $22 barrel. More than SIX
months later, when the case finally was pre-.
scented to the grand jury, this proprietor was
summoned to tell of his payments over Q
period of two years. That was income"
It was by this same laboriouS building from
the ground up on every transaction that the
great sums listed in Capone's income table
were arrived at. All Of them, of course, were
not as simple and direct as beer purchases.
I'm the case Of the dog tracks the agents
Income" through individual bets. The dog
track was known to be one of Capone's most
lucrative operations outside of the beer racket.
Gamblers from all sections of the country
mingled with Capone'S gangsterS about the
kennels during the brief and flashy season.

The key to this whole line of investigation
is found in section 1l04 of the Internal
Revenue law, which authorizes agents Of the
commissioner to seize books, records and
papers wherever necessary and to administer
oaths and conduct examinations in the court

Even this was far from the end of the pre-
liminary investigation. In the Prohibition
Bureau a corps of 10 special investigators had
been TUNED loose three months before on all
the Chicago field reports since 1924. Wherever
there was found evidence of a liquor transaction
in which an actual payment of money had been
traced the case was plucked out of the files.
Every such case, many OF which had been
closed long since prosecutions won or lost, was
reopened for the time to determine whether the
money might ultimately have reached Al
Capone.
THAT was the vital spot in the Governments
case-to prove the receipt Of actual money.
1t was to be achieved only by tracing actual
payments, 81, $1,000, $4,000 at time, as the
specific cases proved up.

Meanwhile the Red Cross fund had
been increased by $40 1000 from three APP

The Senate expression Of approval OF

characterized the congressional 800

Representative Parks was advised in
q Senate resolution to support the
measure since it had the approval of
Senators Caraway and Robinson.
An end. of relief was optimistically
viewed by the Red Cross as result of
the heavy week end rains that fell over
the State.

Ynitted concern among relief workers,
seemed destined to early realization.
The Red Cross, heartened by the favor

ordered $4,000 additional garden seed

Red Cross officials, now feeding more

said immediate garden planting would
do inestimable good In raising the
morale among dependents.

SCHOOL CLINIC
CHECKS BABIES
WEIGHT WEEKLY
City Health Board Aids in
Advising Mothers on
Child Diet.

A race of future healthy school
children is being developed at Oscar
C. McCulloch school No. 5, at 612
West Washington street, where ap-
proximately forty mothers bring
their babies every Monday for
treatment in the city baby clinic.
The clinic, organized at McCul-
loch school in 1926, is under the
direction of the city department of
public health. The board of school
commissioners co-operates by lend
ing the use of the room in which
the clinic is held.
DIR. Mettel in Charge
DR.. H. B. Mettel is in charge of
the clinic. He is assisted by Mrs.
Isabel Griffith, nurse. Miss Marie
Bauer aids in weighing and other
activities.
Each week, the babies are put on
the scales. Their weight is record
ed and compared with the weight
of the week previous. This work is
done by the nurses.
The physician then examines the
children, and prescribes a diet for
each baby. He also gives advice
as to general care.
If the doctor finds cases which
need medical attention, he refers
them to the family doctor or to city
hospital.
Visits in Homes
From that time until the next
Monday, the various cases are in
the hands of Mrs. Griffith. She
visits as many homes as possible
each week, and helps the mother
follow the physicians instructions.
She teaches the making of the
formulae prescribed and aids in the
general care. Milk with antacid
properties is the food most often
prescribed. Mrs. Griffiths shows
how this and other foods are mixed,
so that the babies will receive proper
care, both in and out of the clinic.
Age of children brought to the
clinic ranges from a few months to
three years.
