lice graft collections and to reveal the

at Wisconsin Summer resort.
Alphonse Capone's name was men,
toned in the letter, which purported
to reveal a plan of the gang chefs
organization to win control of the vice
liquor and gambling businesses on Chi
Cages West Side, in which it became
necessary to bring about Zuta's death
The States attorneys Office, reported
to have received the letter. promptly
denied its receipt. Likewise, Patrick

ing that the epistle does not give any
thing like a motive for the Lingle muir

1T believe I know the motive for that
crime" Roche said, but at present II
cannot be proved legally"
There was no doubt, he added, OF the
guilt OF Leo v. Brothers OF st. Louis
who was convicted and sentenced to IL
years for Lingle's death. Brothers
counsel has appealed.
The body of q man, burned beyond
recognition, found amid the ruins OF an
ice house destroyed by fire last April

Senator vandenberg said he had be-

failures recently had been caused In
most cases by frozen credit" even
though these credits may be sound. In
letters to bankers over the country out
lining his plan he said he believed the
cure for this situation was to make the
best of the real estate securities subject
to rediscount.
The principle of the Vandenberg
plan has been Endorsed by Roy A.
Young, governor OF the Federal Re-

In a letter to Senator Vandenberg
Gov. Young said his views as to the

SUPERCARCO ON ESTEBETH GETS
 OFF AT HAYNES
Purser Is Popular, Which Accounts for Trip of
 Two Passengers

SupercargO enllvened the round trip of the motorship Estebeth this week between Juneau and Lynn Canal ports When Robert Cough lin told Mrs. Coughlin few months ago that the vessel, in addition to the weekly Sitka voyage, would also go on a biweekly run to Haines and Skagway, she believed him. The extra schedule would keep him away from home every other Tues day night and Wednesday night.
 Mrs. Coughlin is not particularly fond of the sea. She does not pride herself on being a good sailor.
 Lynn Canal Not Dependable
 She has lived long enough in Southeast Alaska to know Lynn Canal cannot be trusted to simu- late a quiet lake at this time of the year Still, she wanted to make this new trip that was taking MT Coughlin away from home two nights every two weeks-not for the purpose of checking and double checking his information, but just to make the voyage. He tried to dissuade her, which, of course, made her more insistent
 So Tuesday evening, she and Mrs. Elmer A. Friend, a neighbor of years standing, appeared with over night bags at the wharf of the Estebeth and boarded her. The purser has been m married long enough not to ask questions or raise objections in such a case.
 Duties Keep Him Busy
 He just attended to his usual duties, and, he being general fac torum aboard the vessel, they are quite enough to keep him busy all the time.
 Mrs. Coughlin and Mrs. Friend had intended to go to Skagway- that is make the complete round trip-but when the craft called at it's first port, Haines, they dis embarked. They remained there until the boat returned from Skag- way on it's way back to Juneau. Both reported splendid trip when the vessel arrived here this morn ing
 The Estebeth also brought Will liam Feero and Stephen Stan worth from Skagway and Rupert Jacobs from Haines.
 The ship will sail at 6 o'clock tonight for Sitka and way ports.
