CAPONE HENCHMAN
SLAIN IN CHICAGO
Police Find Johnny Genaro,

CHICAGO, March 21.-Gangland as
sassins caught up with Johnny Genaro
tonight Police found the body Of the
Capone Southsfee henchman, shot
seven times, in an automobile at
Twenty-ninth and Normal avenues.
Genaro had been suspected OF kill
ing Frankie Uale, Brooklyn gang leader.
whose Staying in 1928 has long proved
a puzzle to New York police, and of
shooting James Belcastro, bomber and
terrorist.
Eastern authorities investigating the
Uale killing came to Chicago and ques-
toned Genaro at length but apparently
had insufficient evidence TO make q
case against him, and he was released.
Uale once was associated with Capone
and underworld runor had 1t the two
had a falling out Soon after, Uale was
killed. Genaro was known as a super
visor OF Capone'S Calumet City beer
business.
One theory was that GenNro may
have been implicated in the slaRing OF
wild Bill'' Rooney, a West Side labor
leader, earlier this week. Police also
said Genaro may have been slain by
some surviving member of the old
Moran-Aiello-Zuta combine.

WORLD STILL LIVES,
SAYS ROY HOWARD
Declares 0chS Had Chance to
Buy Paper Long Before
He Purchased 1t.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, March 23.-Roy W.
Howard, chairman Of the board of the
Scripps-H Howard Newspapers, said today
the New York World isn't dead" 1T
isn't the building or the press that
makes the newspaper; it Is the spirit Of
its writer's" he added.
Mr.. Howard was the moving spirit IN
the purchase Of the New York Evening
World and the Morning World by the
New York Telegram.
He was commenting on an interview
carried by Editor and Publisher with
Adolph S. Ochs, publisher Of the New
York Times, in which Mr. Ochs said If
he had been in New York at the time,
he is confident he would have saved the
World newspapers for the employees.
Il am afraid Mr. Ochs like several
others, waited for the World to die and
waited too long" Mr.. Howard said
/ They wanted it for nothing. The Old
World isn't dead. It isn't the building
or the press that makes the newspapers
1t Is the spirit of its writer's. The New
York Times did not die when Mr.. Ochs
, purchased it-and he bought 1t under
conditions identical to our buying the
World
mfr. Ochs' statement is quite In
teresting in view of the fact he was ap-
preached and had an opportunity 10
buy the Morning and Sunday World
months before the Scripps- Howard in
terests entered negotiations with the
Pulitzers, with view to purchasing the
properties.
Mr.. Ochs may be entirely right In
his statement that the sale Of the World
properties was AN unfortunate and
calamitous chapter in the history of
American journalism But it would
seem he Is at least a little hasty IN his
Judgment. After all, It win be time
rather than the opinion Of so eminent
a journalist as Mr.. Ochs that VIII de-
termine the matter"

HIGHWAY DEPART
MENT GRANTS So
day GRACE PERIOD
ARIz. MOTORISTS

Phoenix, Arizona, Jan. 2-UP)
The state highway department
has granted a 3O-day grace"
period to Arizona Motorists that
might secure 1881 license plates
without having their machines
seized.
The extension of time was made
following receipt of an opinion
from the attorney generals office.
The highway code provides that
all motor vehicles operated on
roads of the state must be register
ed by January l of each year. After
that date, the fee becomes delin-
quent, and motor vehicles driven
ON roads are operated illegally,
and subject to seizure by author
| ties.
In an opinion of z. NJ Whitwor h,
superintedent of motor vhicle dlvi-
sion of the state highway depart
ment, Charles L. Strouss, assistant
a torney general, ruled:
Under provisions Of section 1858
Revised Code of 1928 the Motor We.
hicle division, however, may not
seize a motor vehicle operated with,
out registration until 80 days after
the date of delinquency.
While announcement of the addi
tlonal time would tend to reduce
the business of purchasing new
plates until a later date, highway
officials urged that motorists Sc
cure their plates as soon as posi-
bic, as no additional time would be
granted at expiration of the "grace.

Precocity, or Coaching :?

There are in existence but the
most meager threads of informa
ton concerning the youth Of Fran
els Bacon. Up to his thirty-frst
year there is scarcely one fact Of
his life which is of Importance to
a biOgrapher.
Upon one occasion Sir Nicholas
is said to have taken Francis to
court and presented him to the
queen. Elizabeth fondled his hair,
called him my young lord keep
err" and asked him his age. To this
question the child answered, "Just
two years younger than your maj
esty's happy reign" To some
biOgraphers this precocious reply
has seemed a prophecy of Francis
BacOn's later skill at flattering roy
atty; to others, however, it seems
but a tribute to the coaching abil-
tiles of Sir Nicholas.-From "Sir
Francis Bacon" by Byron Steel.

Ancient Chessboard

A chessboard seven thousand
years old was found in the tomb
of the Egyptian high priest, Jarso
Angh. Besides the mummy and
the chessboard the tomb contained
statues of the priest and his wife.
From this find it would appear
that the game dates from a period
of at least 5000 years before Christ
and that it is of Egyptian and not
Persian or Chinese origin, as con-
sidered before. The ancient story
of the man who agreed to pay a
debt by placing a grain of wheat
upon the first square of chess
board, two grains on the second,
four grains on the third, eight
grains on the fourth, etc, seems
also to have been of Egyptian
origin. The calculation, thus car
ried out, will be discovered to re
quire, long before the siXty-fOurth
square is reached, more wheat pos
sibly than has ever been produced
in all the world.-Exchange.

"Budget's" Original Meaning

The word budget" can be traced
back to the Latin word "bulga,"
but it is believed that this was it
self an adaptation Of a word from
the Celtic language of old GauI. II
meant a leather bag;" and from
it we have the old English "bouge,"
"a bag" and budget" "a little
bag" which was in slang used to
mean something like "a bag of
tricks" In 1873 a pamphlet on Sir
Robert Walpole's forthcoming ex-
else bill was published entitled
"The Budget Opened" the phrase
being used as equivalent to "the
cat out of the bag" Henceforth
chancellor Of the exchequer max
ing his statement of proposed
taxes was said to "Open his bud
get;" and soon the word budget"
was used without jocular intent of
the statement itself. = Montreal

Honor Well Bestowed
on Chief Justice Taft

Ore day, along about miIWintcc,
4o-lph Tumulty, former secretary
to President Woodrow Wilson, was
taking his constitutional across the
million-dollar bridge on Connecti-
cut avenue when he saw a we'll
known and gigantic figure strolling
ahead of him Before Mr.. Tumul-
ty had a chance to quicken his
own stride and catch up, as he usu-
ally did, a stranger in a small mud
dy auto bearing an Ohio license
drew up beside the huge figure
ahead.
"Say, guy! Could you tell me
how to get to 700 California ave-
nue?"
The large man stopped, smiled,
went to the side of the muddy fliv-
yer and explained carefully and in
detail how the stranger could reach
the desired destination.
AS he finished, the man from
Ohio started his engine and called
gratefully to the polite Washing
tonian:
Thanks, Chiefw and drove
away.

HIGHWAY TO GRAND
CANYON is FIN|TAED

Grand Canyon, Arizona-As an
appropriate Christmas gift to the
State of Arizona and to the thou
sands of auto tourists who each
year visit the south rim of the
Grand Cayon National Park, the
new approach road from U. S. High
way Sc to Grand Canyon was, on
Christmas Eve completed for its
entire length and opened to traffic,
according to a statement by Park
Superintendent M. R. Tillotson
With the recent completion of the
last section of this road there is
now available a modern highway
built by and in accordance with
the highest standards of the L. s..
Bureau of Public Roads, all the
way from the National Old Trails
Highway US Sc to the park The
road is well graveled and will be
easily Travelled at all seasons of the
year. A crew of four or five men
is continuously employed by the
National Park Service on main
tenance. Additional snow removal
equipment has recently been pur-
chasd for this particular road so
that prospective part visitors may
now be assured of an open read
to the park even during the winter
storms.
The new approach road leaves
Highway &c at a point some 25
miles east of Williams and is 575
miles in length, making it 60 miles
from Williams and 81 miles from
Flagstaff to Park headquarters.
Although all except some miles
of the 67.5 miles is outside of Grand
Canyon National Park, the entire
cost of construction and mainten-
ance was met from Federal appro-
priations under special Congress
sional authority.
The 5 miles strech of this ap-
proach road within the park bound
airy is paved and plans have been
made of paving or oiling the bal
ance which now carries an excellent
surfacingg of gravel and crushed
rock. This work is to start early
next spring and, according to pres
ent plans, will be completed in two
seasons.-Casa Grande Dispatch.

The Pawnee Indian Tribe was
composed of fonr bands, namely
Skidi; Chawoe, Putahhaweerat and
Kitkawahkee. The warriors of this
tribt, for mere han one hundred
years had been a scourge to the
other tribes of the great plains;
the Cheyennes, Sioux, Plains
Apaches, Kiowas, and Comanches.
In the valleys of the Platte and the
Republican the Pawnees had erect
ed the Pawnee Republic; and from
the tribes domain it's young men
had ridden far. fast and often in
quest Of ponies scalps, and plum
der. The tribe had become feared
from Canada to Mexico. This CON
tinual warfare had reduced its mum
bers from $4,000 in 1880 to amere
handful of 1000 in 1857.
The wave of white settlers swept
into Nebraska and Kansas from the

1t was the custom of the Paw

summer hunt was for meat. tent
material and moccasins leather.
and the winter hunt was for meat
and robes. The government in or

Pawnees and Sioux had divided the
hunting grounds. The Sioux were
confined to that part ofNebraska
north of the Niobrara River in
the northern part of Nebraska, and
the Pawnees to the south of the
Niobrara to the Kansas line.
In May, 1873, the Pawnees held
council meeting and decided to
leave the agncy in July on the
summer hunt.
They were moved to Oklahoma
