Each year. folks give more
thought to the celebration of
Christmas, than they did the
preceding one. Milford has
never had such an electrical
display as this year and it does
add to the festiveness of the
holiday season. One regrettable
thing for the young set will be,
that there has not been dance
planned for their enjoyment.
They will have to go out of town
for this form of entertainment.
There was a time when Milford
was given deserved credit for
having the best dances in the
state. But since the war things
have been different" the usual
excuse for a change. 1t is a
fact that social standards have
changed, with people having
different ideas about what con-
stitutes a good time, with the
result that MilfOrd's dances are
not what they used to be. In
spite of that, there will be a
round of parties, perhaps, where
the young folks can meet and

IF the hopes and wishes rarely
i mentioned, but with difficulty
concealed, of Senator Arthur R.
Robinson and his friend and po-
litical mentor, George v. Coffin,
could be thrown upon screen, they
probably would shock many loyal
and faithful Republicans of the
county and state.
In the six years Of his experience
in the United States senate, Rob-
inson has managed to acquire, be-
sides an affectation in his speech,
the art of assembling.
Although no modern Machiavelli,
Coffin has essayed to play this role
for his Prince" who is Robinson,
and because of the somber outlook
for the Republican party in the
state, he may get away with it.
AS the political situation looms,
Democrats will be elected to con-
greSS from the majority of the dis
tricts, the Republicans will lose all
state offices, and Senator James E.
Watson will go down to defeat.
Those Republicans who are not
trying the hypodermic of optimism
readily admit this to be true.
With such wholesale defeat, the
Republican remaining in office will
be, at sleast in name, the party
leader in Indiana, because he will
be the only figure. This would be
Robinson.
In event of a lucky break and the
election of a Republican President
in 1882, and defeat for Republican
candidates in Indiana, Robinson
would be even more powerful.

LAvISHNESS OF

u. S. Puts CroeSuS Tag on
Gang Car, on Trial for
Tax Fraud.
BY RAY BLACK
United Press StsE Correspondent

CHICAGO. Oct. 10.-A back
ground of riches was built up for
Al Capone by the government to-
day at his income tax fraud trial.
The government seeks to show
that Capone was not the $75-a-
week gang handy man he pretends.
but an underworld CroeSus with a
thick roll of $500 and $1,000 bills
always in his pocket. a Florida
island mansion, a Chicago hotel
suite that cost him $500 week.
and a spendthrift trait that led him
to scatter S. tips.
As the gang big shot" faced the
fifth day of his trial on charge
of defrauding the government Of
S215, 900 tax on a Six-year income OF
81 ,038654, the prosecutors battle to
send him to prison for maximum
of thirty-two years had gone stead
lily against him.
$4,000 Sent to Florida
The latest phases of testimony
admitted by his own attorneys as
damaging to his case were:
That his Chicago underlings tele-
graphed nearly $4,000 to Capone
during the winter of 1928-29.
That be bought $4,000 estate
on Palm Island, Miami, rendezvous
of fashionable winter colony and
near the house where Herbert
Hoover as president-elect spent
some time in January 1929.
That for his eight-room suite in
the Metropole hotel here he paid
81 500 weekly and spent $4,000 on
one two-night party to celebrate
the Dempsey-Tunney fight.
Letters to U. S. Barred
Those damaging additions to the
governments body Of testimony
followed the prosecutions success
in getting admitted as evidence a
letter in which Capones Washing
ton attorney stated he believed Ca
pone's income in four years was
$266,000 and its tentative success in
connecting the "Scarface" with
Cicero gambling houses which net
ted huge profits.
The government must prove only
that Capone had an income of
$4,000 in any one year that was
taxable. He admits he never paid
tax.
The jury of small town tradesmen
heard from Fred S. Avecy, promo
ton manager, and MacRamsey
Smith, day clerk of the Metropole
hotel, where the gang chief had
headquarters, how he peeled off
$4,000 from a roll to pay for the
two-night party and had plenty
left"
1,5OO Miles to Testify
They heard from Parker Hender-
son, then owner of the Ponce de
Leon hotel at Miami, how he cashed
Geographic money orders for Ca
pone under the name Albert
Costa" and how he spent, at Ca
pone'S direction, $4,000 for a wall
and $4,000 for swimming pool at
the Palm Island estadte.
To many of the jurors, the price
of the swimming pool represents
considerably more than they earn
in year.
Miss Anna Mcneil and Miss
Katherine Gaines, employees in the
Miami Western Union Offices,
identified the transfers by which
Capone got his money in Florida.
They came some l 500 miles to sneak
dozen words each.

would control all federal patronage.
The Republicans ousted from state
and county posts would look to MIN
for jobs and he would be in po-
sition to dictate terms TO all party
managers.
Simply, the outlook is this: Let
his party be defeated in the state
and Robinson Yields the whip.
What could be easier and simpler
than for Robinson and Coffin to
take over the organization just as
Watson controls it at present?
It is no secret that the Watson
forces are in charge of all except
one district organization. the old
Seventh, or Marion county, and
that as long as this continues,
Robinson's own chances for re-
nomination in 1882 are in jeopardy.
With the beautiful picture paint
ed for Robinson, depicting him as
rewarding the faithful with largesSe
and Furnishing those who question
his authority, is it any wonder that
the Junior senator is not worried
greatly about the dire outlook for
1882?
And Coffin has waited for years

which came his way after the Nc
