CdpOne's DOlUnf0U
Sounds Death KneU
Of 'Superqangsters'

CHICAGO, June II Q.NS0.
The passing into oblivion of the
"super-gangster" type was seen by
authorities today as the logical
result of the Governments sue
cessful prosecution of AL Capone.
When Capone is sentenced on
June 80 an unusual phase in
American life will come to an end.
This period marked the appli-
cation of big business ideas to
bootlegging, vice and gambling.
1t featured the rise of powerful
syndicates to carry on the traffic
on the underworld.
Served in War
Capone was born in Brooklyn.
His parents were Neapolitans. He
got through the fourth grade. Be-
fore the war he continued his
education with the Five Points
gang in Brooklyn. He was a sol.
dier during the war and was hon
orably discharged.
In 1919 "Scarface" came to Chi
cago, serving under big Jim"
ColoSino until the latter's violent
death, and later under Johnnie
Torrio.
Capone grew up with the booze
business. One of the men he
worked under is 10 FuSco, so
called beer maestro" who was
indicted with Capone this month
in the Federal dry law conspiracy
case.
Bloody Campaign
In 1925 "Scarface" AL acquired
control of the Chicago beer
racket. That year Angelo Genna
and Samoots Amatura, aspirantS
to Leadership, died by the gun.
In 1929 came the st. Valen-
tines Day massacre. when seven
members of the Bugs" Moran
North Side gang were moved
down b. machine gunners.
"Only CapOne kills like that"
said Moran, who escaped being
victim only by a few min
uteS.
At the time of the Moran kill.
ings Capone was in jail in Phila.
delphia for carrying a concealed
weapon.

For Stdrtinq Fires
haHaaAssAasaAhs. 49,

Three boys from 10 to IA years
of age are being held at the
Receiving Home in connection
with numerous incendiary fires
in northwest Washington.
The arrests came after one of
the boys is said to have confessed
setting fire to the Cook School,
on P Street, near North Capitol
Street, last Sunday. Police said
it is possible other boys will be
taken into custody.
None of the fires caused great
damage as most of them we're
discovered soon after being

Tax Pressure Against
Gangsters Is Praised
AS Effective Tactics

The conviction of AL Capone
today drew praise on Capitol Hill
for the Federal governments
drive against bootleggers and
racketeerS.
Good Weapon. Says King
The Government was urged by
Senator King CD of Utah, q
rather liberal wet, to use income
tax prosecutions as a means Of
breaking up bootleg rings and
racketeering gangs.
Senator Davis (R0 of PennSyl-
vania, former Secretary of Labor,
also endorsed the income tax
drive. He agreed with King that
income tax prosecutions could be
used to put gang leaders in jail.
He pointed out the use of the
deportation power-exercised dur
ing his own administration Of the
Labor Department-to eradicate
alien criminals by returning
them to their native countries.

freedom we're numbered today,
and numbered exceedingly small.
as he is to appear before Federal
Judge WilkerSon on June 80 to
be sentenced for evasion of in
come tax payments to the Govern
ment and for conspiracy to vio-
late the national prohibition laws.
He may be in prison in three
weeks.
End of His Reign
His pleading of guilty yester-
day to all charges the United
States had against him was
hailed in Chicago us being the end
of his gang and it's hold on the
city. His surrender implied the
downfall of his entire organiza-
ton, for it showed that he could
not beat the same evidence which
the Government has against 68
defendants in the same beer con-
spiracy.
Speculation on the length of
Capone'S term in the Federal
penitentiary revolved about the
probability of less than a five-year
sentence, although a maximum Of
"a years and 100000 fines was
possible.

A. J. Peters Denies
KnOUing Anything
Of BeaHty's Death
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN

Oy OAN4bS AS AAAANakAA4AAA4AN
BOSTON, Mass, June II.
Andrew j. Peters. former mayor
of Boston, a man highly re-
spected in the community. in
dicated today in an interview
with International News Service
his surprise that his name has
been dragged, even by rumor and
innuendo, into the Starr Faithful
murder mystery.
He said he knows nothing of
the strange death of Starr.
In fact, Mr.. Peters has not
been officially mentioned in con-
nection with the case, and he
would not have talked at all if
he had not found his name sud
denly emblazoned in the head
lines of the local newspapers.
Mr. Peters told me-
II have not seen Starr Faith
full for over five years."
Unwilling to Talk
Naturally he did not want to
discuss the death of Starr.
Mr.. Peters explained that Starr
was a distant cousin Of his wife.
The Peters, incidentally. are mil.
lionaires. Mr.. Peters has a big
law practice in Boston. asked
him point blank:
"Have you ever had friendly
relations with Starr Faithful"
mo" he replied.
He explained that because of
the family relationship. he had
known Starr. But he had not
seen her in more than five years.
No Legal Dealings
Mr.. Peters denied that he had
ever had any legal dealings with
Starr or her family.
Mr.. Peters was careful not to
say a word that would be con.
Sidered derOgatOry to the Faith
full family. 1t would net be
amiSS to infer that he regarded
Starr as a nice, refined girl, and
that he is inclined to the opinion
of many others that Starr was not
murdered.
Mr.. Peters was formerly a Con-
gresham and also formerly an
assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury under woodrow Wilson.
He was elected mayor of BoS-
ton in the fall of 1917. He held
the office from 1918 to 1922.

EXTENSION CLASSES
DISCUSS FOOD NEEDS

Members of the various extension
group in Kent County are discuss
ing the food needs of their families
this month and planning economical
menus for them. Miss Whitcomb,
their instructor, is urging them to
use foods which in return will give
the greatest amount of nutrition
value and is showing them through
various demonstrations different
ways of preparing these foods. The
meals she urges are based upon a
large quantity of milk with plenty
of fruits and vegetables. "TOo many
homes" she says, "are still on a
meat, potato and bread diet" And
she says, Don't cater so much to
your family. You owe it to them to
give them what they need for health
rather than always what they want. y

are scheduled as follows:

Coaches cannot pick faults in any
swimmer and offer correction based
on some ideal form which they have
in mind. Many guesses may retard
the swimmer, some swimmers never
reach the peak, possibly according
to their structural and functional
capacity. due to coaching dogma
tism. The imitation of champions
has certainly had its bad effects as
we'll as its good. Any fault which is
obviously bad can be detected by an
experienced observer, if the fault is
in stroke mechanism. This is only
one part of the whole, however, the
whole functional activity of the in
dividual is invisible, meaning the
respiratory strength, heart behavior,
muscular strength, degree of tleXi-
bility in joints, etc.
Form and not fight results in good
style is 90% of speed.
Water is a solid but yielding sub
stance. If you take many strokes to
go a given distance, means that your
arms are travelling faster through
the water at each stroke than if you
took fewer strokes to go the same
distance. If you stroke with too
much speed you cut holes in the va
ter. The secret of taking fewer
is to start the stroke slowly
and gradually increase the force, as
you feel that you are getting a pur-
chase on the water. Swimming Ie-
quires relaxation not only for pres
ervation of strength, but for perfect
execution of stroke. Do not sprint

FARM WOMEN ANALYZE
THEIR HOME ACCOUNTS

Making a budget and keeping rec
ords of household expenditures have
been consistently advocated by home
management specialists the last few
years. The purpose of keeping ac-
counts is to learn where the fam
lily income goes, and, if necessary,
to make changes that will result in
increased satisfactions for all the
family,
Some homemakers in Erie County,
Ohio, kept accounts under the direc-
tion of the county home demonstra-
tion agent for five years. In making
her report to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture the agent
said: "a number of interesting
points were brought out when the

the number and cost of guest meals

noted the higher cost per meal in a
small family than in a large one.
All agreed that giving children an
allowance develops in them a sense
of the value of things. The economy
of using home produced foods was
