If our national leaders are
justified in asking States and

HOTEL TRUSTEE.
CUSTER ASKED

A rule to show cause why
Charles c. Moore should not be
removed as trustee under the Sec
ond trust, has been filed in the
Mayflower receivership hearings
by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie
brandt, attorney for the five sec.
ond mortgage bondholders for re-
ceivership and foreclosure.
There remains to be heard a
rule filed some time ago directing
the defendants to show cause why
receivers should not be appointed
to take over the hotel properties,
and hearing on this was con-
tinued until Monday.
Mrs. Willebrandt filed her petit
ton after Justice Luhring dis
missed the original bill of the
five bondholdeEs for receivership,
declaring that while he consid-
cred it only a technical matter,
he suggested the withdrawal of
the amended bill in order to
keep the records clear. Mrs. Willie
brandt withdrew her amended
bill, but resubmitted it as soon
as Justice Luhring directed dis
missal of the original one.
In dismissing the original bill,
Justice Luhring declared it was
defective, argumentative and with
out sufficiently specific allega-
tionS.

SISTER NAMES
STARR'S PALS

NEW YORK, June 27 G.N.s0.
A citywide search was under way
today for two men believed to
have been Starr Faithfull's last
companions before the mysterious
death of the Greenwich Village
beauty.
The identities of the men have
not been given out, but they are
said to have been named by
the slain girls sister, Sylvia
Tucker Faithful, after prolonged
grilling at Nassau county police
headquarters.
Subpoenaes have been issued
for them, and if detectives are
successful in locating them, they
will be brought before the grand
jury when it resumes its probe
of the battling case Tuesday.
Meantime, Albert D. Osborn,
expert in chirography, is studying
the three letters the ill-fated Starr
is supposed to have written Dr.
G. Jameson Carr, ships surgeon,
with whom she was infatuated,
the week before her death.
Stanley E. Faithful, talkative
Stepfather of the victim, charges
that they are frauds perpetrated
to hide the murder of Starr.

10000, 900 Separate 0ffenses
Laid to Capone 0rganiza-
ton; Profits S10,0O0,000

CHICAGO, June 81 G.N.SO.
The rural division" of AL Ca
pone's liquor syndicate, which spe-
cialized in manufacturing alcohol
and supplying it to four States,
was practically a wreck today,
ruined by two indictments re-
returned yesterday by the Federal
Grand Jury.
The second big liquor con-
spiracy indictment returned within
a month, this one contained
charges Of 100000 separate Of
fenses, netting S1O,OOO,OOO in re-
turns to the SO individuals and
two corporations involved.
190-PrOOf Alcohol
The ring was said to have op-
Grated from Auroa, Ill, and to
have manufactured 190-proof al
cohol, which was transported on
CREASED" highways to Iowa,
South Dakota and Minneapolis.
Fast cars equipped with radios to
pick up police messages made the
frequent trips.
Shipments totaled 5000 gallons
a month to Clinton, Iowa, accord
ing to officials, and 5000 a month
to Waterloo, Iowa. They ex-
planned these quantities by say
ing that in Iowa and adjoining
States there is little alcoholic
breWed beer, and the alcohol that
crossed the Mississippi was used
to spike bottled near-beer.
Widow Indicted
Daniel A. Anderson, assistant
United States attorney, said the
gang produced at least 100000
gallons of alcohol during five
years. Federal agents said Capone
collected tribute on every gallon.
Those indicted included a
wealthy college graduate, who
fixed" things; a red-haired
widow, whose Aurora speakeaSy
was gang headquarters; former
States attorney of Whiteside
county, Illinois, and Capone men
in Chicago. Many of the de-
PENDANTS are already under bond
