at Cicero, testified in Federal court
today as one Of the Governments
star witnesses against AL Capone,
the king Of racketeers, on trial fol
alleged fraudulent evasion of in.
come taxes.

ness who wore gold-rimmed
glasses, disclosed that he was in

Radio,". and 'The Ship" among
other places.
The witness told of having seen

Ship" In January, 1927. Ries re.
lated that he turned the profits of
the gambling houses into checks
which he invariably turned over to
Bobby Barton, who in turn turned
them over to Jack Guzik, Capone's
financial secretary" Ries said
he handled more than $15O,00O in
1927.
D'Audrea Back In Jail
Phil D'Anrdea, friend and body
guard Of Capone, was denied bail
and his case continued until Fri
day, when he appeared before
Federal Judge James HI. Wilker-
son to show cause why he should
not be punished for contempt Of
court for attending the trial with
q loaded .38-caliber revolver on
his person.
Andrea was taken into custody
Saturday as he was leaving the
courtroom with Capone. He had
been sitting at Capone's side in
the courtroom for days. When

down his belt. Judge Wilkerson
ordered him taken to Jail.
The first witness Of the day
was Everett P. Waters, a revenue

verSatiOnS with CapOne ON the
subject Of the Iatter's income,

election that an impression pre-
vailed that tax was not due on
illegal incomes.
A decision in 1926 established
the fact that incomes amassed by
gambling are taxable.

HOOVER PLEDGE
FOR LEAGUE
REVIVED
Cooperation With Geneva to
Meet Sino-Jap Crisis Puts
1920 Stand Again to Fore
By WILLIAM c. MURPHY, Jr

By WILLIAM C. MURPHY, Jr
American cooperation with the
League Of Nations in the Sino
Japanese crisis has recalled the
11-year-old pledge proclaimed by
President Hoover and two mem.
bers of his Cabinet to work for
United States entrance into the
League under a modified cove.
nant.
News of the American note to
Geneva was followed byAa buzz Of
speculation as to whether taking
the United States into the League
possibly after some amend
ments to the covenantLmay con-
Stitute a part Of Mr.. Hoover'S
plans for international .disarma-
ment and a restoration Of world
economic stability.
Statement of 1920 w..
It was recalled that President
Hoover, Secretary of State Slim.
son, and Secretary of the In
terror Wilbur were among the
81 signers of the famous declara-
ton of prominent Republicans
October IS, 1920, explaining why
they supported Mr.. Harding for
the Presidency, Notwithstanding
their generally favorable attitude
toward the League.
That statement contained these
paragraphs:
1--WE have reached the cOncIu-
sion that the true course to
bring America into an effective
league to preserve peace is not
by insisting with Mr.. Cox upon
the acceptance of such a pro-
vision as Article x, thus pro-
longing the unfortunate sltua-
tiOn created by Mr.. Wilson's
insistence upon that article, but
by frankly calling upon the
other nations to agree to
changes in the proposed agree
ment which will obviate this
vital objection and other OBJ
jectiOns less the subject Of
dispute.
''FOr this course we can look
only to the Republican party
and its candidate; the Demo
cratic party and Mr.. Cox are
not bound TO follow it. The
Republican party is bound by
every consideration Of good
faith to pursue such a course
until the declared object is
attained"
Now that Mr.. Hoover Is Presi-
dent, with Messrs Stimson and
Wilbur in his Cabinet, specula-
tion centers around whether an
attempt is to be made to have
the Republican party fulfill that
pledge to which, according to the
1920 manifesto, it 'is bound by
every consideration of good
faith"

To Be Married Soon

me If they are married before
the end Of the present month.
They are deeply i'm love and

Prof. Kane was arrested and

had selected the pastor and
that everything was in readi-

Betty is living, although she
undoubtedly is around Phila-

believe it best for her to re-

various companies have offered
the defense attorneys fabulous
sums to permit her to pose for
pictures.
Stunned by Publicity
"Betty is dumfOunded at the
publicity that has been given
her. She can't understand why
everyone is SO interested in her.
Prof. Kane probably had other
Sweethearts, and it is unfOrtu-

misread. She is very fond Of
writing and communicated with
the professor merely as an old
friend.

ness"
This was the keynote of Miss
Julia Coburn, director of the
fashion bureau of the Hearst
newspapers in New York city, in
a talk before the Advertising
Club, of Washington, at its
luncheon today. Miss Coburn
said:
"A few years ago, the making
Of merchandise and this mys.
teriOus, intangible thing called
fashion were separated by a
wide gulf. But business cOndi.
tiOns have not left room for
anything mysterious and in.
tangible. So, fashion was put
to work to see if she could earn
her way.
OF Prime Importance
'NOw, as q result, fashion all
by itself has almost ceased to
exist, and fashion, as a mer-
chandiSing force, is Of para
mount Importance"
Miss Coburn said that while
some time ago a store was judged
by whether it had the latest
Chanel bracelet, now it is judged
by how good a copy of ChanelS
most popular model it can sell at
a very moderate price. She con-
tinued:
Fashion workers, variOusly
known as StyliStS and fashion.
lists, used to be detached critics
and idea-peOple, apparently re.
SpOnSible for nothing and eyed
with suspicion by everybody.
Now they are vice presidents Of
stores and respected executives
and high-priced cOnsultants in
many manufacturing concerns.
The reason is, that fashion has
become a business and a paying
one.
Cites Organization
"There is an organization
with headquarters in New York
of women engaged in various
kinds Of fashion work through
out the country. Though the
Fashion Group, as it is called,
is less than a year old and it
has rather exacting professional
qualifications and experience as
standards for membership, it
already has almost 400 mem
berS.
"The other day 1 heard some
one say, Let's don't worry about
fashion now. The public is in
terested only in price Nat
uralIy' the public is interested
in price. 1t has to be. But
good advertising and good dis
play and good selling is that
which gives the customers a
fashion reason for buying your
merchandising instead of that
Of the next stores.
Has Come to Stay
Fashion has come to say and
IL mas just as important place
in the purchase Of a dress at
$1.95 in one stores basement as
it has in the purchase Of o
dress at $195 in another stores
French room. There are great
profits to be made now as at
any time by those who put
fashion to work as a business
force"
Miss Coburn drew for illustra.
tion of her remarks upon her
experience as publicity director Of
the Lasalle & Koch Co., the
largest department store of To-
ledo and as director Of the manu-
facturers' fashion service Of Harp
er's Bazaar Of New York.
