IN previous articles the story of Chicago

lance between Al Capone, other gangsters
and both the Republican and Democratic
parties. The origin of gangsterism and graft

CHICAGO, with it's graft, its murders, its bold
links between the underworld and the up
perworld of the exploters is not an exception
in American cities. The melodramatic trap
pings and outstanding figures, the raw and new
methods, the circus election campaigns of
Mayor Thompson, make Chicago the symbol of
American capitalist city government But it
is not a special type nor is it fundamentally
different from every industrial and commercial
center in the United States Chicago has its
counterpart in a thousand smaller cities in
towns and villages

PARKWAY PROJECT
George Washington Commits
sion Given $3.50 for Pre-
Iiminary Expenses.
By a stan Correspondent of The Star.


ROCKVILLE, Nd, November 90
Appropriation of $3.50 out of the con-
tingent fund as a contribution toward
the organization expenses of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway Com
mission, was voted by the Board OF
County Commissioners here yesterday.
This action came after the commits
sioners had considered the request OF
Oliver Owen Kuhn and Maj. E. Brooke
Lee, members of the Parkway Commits
sion appointed by Gov. Richie and
who live in Montgomery County.
Bridge at Great Falls.
The plans of the Parkway Commits
sion call for the creation of a great
Federal park extending from Mount
Vernon to the Great Falls of the Poto-
mac. Included in the plans are many
proposed roads, boulevards, drives and
recreational facilities in Montgomery
County, and are expected to include
at an early date a bridge across the
Potomac River at or near Great Falls,
to be built by the Federal Government.
The entire cost of the purchase of
the land bordering the Potomac for the
parkway project and its improvements
will come from contributions to be
raised throughout the Nation by the
commission or by congressional appro-
priations.
The resolution, as adopted by the
Board Of County Commissioners, fol-
lows:
Whereas, the George Washington
Memorial Parkway Commission has
been organized with the following
board of trustees: George B. McClel-
Ian of Washington, former mayor Of
New York and at one time a professor
at Princeton University, chairman; DR.:
Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of
George Washington University, general
vice chairman; Oliver owen Kuhn,
managing editor of The Evening Star,

c., director;
And whereas the object of the asso-
citation Is to raise funds to provide an
appropriate parkway to the memory of
George Washington in the main valley
of the Potomac River from his home
at Mount Vernon past the White House
and the Washington Monument to the
Great Falls of the Potomac in Mont
gomery County;
And whereas it is beyond the present
financial ability of Montgomery County
to aid materially in the realization of
this project, which will run into millions
Of dollars, due to the present commit
mentS for Rock Greek Park, Cabin John
Run Park, Sligo Valley Park and the
Montgomery County Park in the valley
of the Northwest Branch of the Ana
costa River, notwithstanding the fact
that the realization of this great park
way will be of untold and everlasting
benefit, not only to the adjacent section
of Montgomery County from the District
line in Georgetown to the Great Falls
of the Potomac, but to the entire
county, as this parkway will be i'm
proved with recreation centers, boule-
wards and drives and will, we believe,
prove the most magnificent parkway
adjacent to an American city, and will
also, we feel confident, result in the
early construction by the United States
of a bridge across the Potomac River
at or near Great Falls: Therefore be 1t
Fund Appropriated.
Resolved, That this board herewith
approve the request of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway Com
mission, made through its Montgomery
County members, to contribute $3.50
to the organization fund of the COM
mission which is undertaking to bring
this project to realization through a
Nationwide campaign to raise the mill
lions of dollars required for this vast
project and appropriate $3.50 for this
purpose from the contingent fund at
the disposal of this board"

LOS ANGELES, November 90
Jeddu Krishnamurti, young Hindu

the robes of a Messiah, so I am again
free of all possessions. I have nothing
except my creed"
Krishnamurti stated he had returned
to their original owners the castle
Eerde at Ommen. Holland; an estate at
Ojai, Calf, and homes, lands and
chattels that were forced upon me by
well-meaning friends"
The philosopher was reported today
to be in DIAL, little mountain town
north of Los Angeles. He said he
planned to hold meetings there to
preach his creed and Ito reflect in a
shack"
In years past, Krishnamurti had held
meetings at Ojai around large camp
fire at night. The gatherings were at
tended by theoSophists from the world
over, who came to hear the second
Messiah"
Krishnamurti charged that Mrs
Besant, now reported i'll on a visit to
India, with attempting to dramatic

GOBBLER'S KNOB

The voters of Morgan county were
deliberately slapped in the face on
January % by the three overjealous
opponents of Republican supremacy,
who named L. B. Adrean sheriff to
succeed the late j. w. Allen. Last
November the ballots told that Nor
gan county was tired of the ring
that had dominated the sheriff's of
flee for 10 these many years, and
gave Mr.. Allen a good majority over
Mr. Adrean The new sheriff Sc
lected as deputy Mr.. Scott, who he
knew was worthy of his confidence.
Why, then, wasn't he appointed to
carry on Mr.. Aliens work? We car
scarcely blame Mr.. Adrean for TAX
ing this plum shaken so kindly into
his lap, for jobs are scarce. But il
these three "Santa Clauses" whom
we know as commissioners of our
county, don't find themselves un-
wanted at our next election welI

by some to unemployment, by 9TH

others to the learned discourses

cation of the new room. Fred ROl-

were on the program. Hank McDer-
