BRAND CAREER.
CLOSING DUE To
HEALTH
Work Has Put Strain on Heart
And Physicians Order "Man
Of Peace" to Rest a While

PARIS, Aug. (U.SD. - Aris-
tide BRAND, Frances Man of
Peace" was today ordered by
his physician to take a rest
from bis duties as foreign min
iSter.
Already some of M. Brands
political colleagues express fears
that the enforced vacation may
mark his permanent retirement
from the French and interna-
tional political scenes.
Too Much Work
1t was M. Brands latest labor
in the cause of European peace
his part in the international
conferences summoned recently to
aid Germany in her financial
crisis-that placed him under a
physicians orders.
Prof. Henri Vaquez, noted
French heart specialist, 1ouno
that the 69-year-old statesman's
heart had weakened under the
strain and ordered:
"YOu must rest and recover
from OverwOrk."
Lost to Geneva
Mr.. BRAND left Paris by auto
mobile for his country home. Pre-
mier Laval is expected to take
over the foreign ministry portfolio
for the time being. M. Brands
friends believe that when the
time comes for him to represent
France at Geneva in September,
he will inform the government he
is too i'll to resume his duties.
Such step would mark the
definite retirement of the man
who has served as premier or cabi-
net minister almost constantly
since 1906, the statesman who is
credited with welding the allies
together during the world war,
and the French diplomat most
famed in the United States.

Two Others Of Old Roll

CHICAGO, Aug. l GN.So.
George Downs, %, sixteenth on
the newly issued list of public
enemies" was seized by police to-
day as they opened a new drive
on crime. Downs told questionerS
he was a real estate dealer.
The new list was issued by the
Chicago crime commission.
OF the first list. headed by
AL Capone. two are dead. three
are in prison. five under SEN
tence. one awaiting sentence, one
on bail in extradition proceedings,
one awaiting deportation, three
awaiting trial, five are fugitiVes
from justice and seven have been
cleared of most recent charges
against them.
List No. 2
Among those on the new list
are:
Joe FuScO, superintendent of
CapOne breweries.
Ted Newberry, CapOne'S North
Side manager.

York." killer, CapOne bOdyguard.

sick, distributor of Capone beer
in Loop.
Free On Bond
Al Capone'S hopes for soft"
penalty for all his crimes we're
dashed against the firm stand
of Federal Judge James H Will
kerson. Yet today the "big shot"
was free on $4,000 bail where
two days ago he expected to be
on his way to Leavenworth by
this time.
Capone's comparative freedom
bids fair to last several months
or more than a year, as a COM
plicated and long legal battle
loOmed following Judge Wilker-
sons action.
Assistant U. S. Attorney Victor
e. La Rue today said he would go
before the Federal Grand Jury
Tuesday to present evidence with
a view of re-indicting Capone un-
der the Jones "five-andten" law.
The action will mark the first
move of the Government in the
renewal of it's battle to place Ca
pone in prison. The same docu-
mentary evidence and the same
testimony of the special investi-
gators into Capone's activities,
used before the granGd jury which
indisted the rum lord and SO
others for conspiracy, will be
used.
Bargains Taboo
It was plainly the attitude of
Judge Wilkerson that Capone
must expect the most severe pun
ishment possible and that no
bargaining" is to be counte-
nanced.
Judge Wilkerson has consist
entity urged Federal agents to
"get the big fellows" In 1925, to
cite an example, 65-year-old
cripple was brought into court.
Judge Wilkerson's comment
was:
For the last six months the
prohibition office has brought
in only the poor, the friendleSs
and the ignorant. The Govern
ment has not touched the big
viOIatOrs of the law. 1 am not
going to send this poor fellow
to JAIL"
1t was Wilkerson who prose
cuted the celebrated Standard Oil
Company case which resulted in
a $29, 100000 fine.
AIS Chauffeur Jailed
Louis Frisco, AL Capone's chauf-
Heur, was in Jail today awaiting
action of the Federal grand jury.
. following his arrest on a charge
of peddling narcotics. His bond
was fixed at $4,000.
