CHICAGO, July 2.-Facing a
blank wall! That was where the
United States secret service had
landed in tracking down Ralph Ca
pone, brother of AL.
The banks had opened their &C
counts to the agents. They could
do no more. Ralph had covered his
trail carefully.
But this didn't stump the inves-
tigators. BY tediously checking the
amounts of Withdrawals and COM
pairing these amounts with stimuli
taneous deposits to other accounts
and finding people who got various
checks, the investigators finally tied
Ralph to every one Of six accounts.
Traced All Checks
The government then produced
witnesses who testified that Ralph
signed checks by these various
aliases in their presence. Moreover,
hand writing experts identified the
various signature cards as having
been signed by the same man.
Turning next to the deposits
made to these accounts, the agents
traced these checks back to saloon
keepers who had bought beer from
Ralph.
For six weeks six men did moth
ing else but trace thousands Of old
checks. Bales Of dusty remittance
sheets and other bank records, long
stored in warehouses, were taken
out and scanned.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July q
Moral forces are the most impor-

ment, Colonel Amos w. w. Wood
cock, federal prohibition director,
told the University of Virginia in
stitute Of public affairs today.
Woodcock outlined the usual course
by which prohibition violator is
brought to punishment, and said he
saw no reason for any sweeping
changes in federal procedure.
What is necessary in this coun-
try for better law enforcement" he
said, 'is clear realization of what
the investigator and the courts can
do and what must be left to the
moral forces. The latter, in my
judgment, are far more important.
There are no limits to what can be
done by education.

o0vrts, thev ought to be more eff
cient. But that efficiency will come
not from sweeping changes, but
from better men, more earnest and

STUNT SWIMMER TO
APPEAR HERE TO-DAY

Swimming with hands tied behind
his back, feet and knees also tied,
wearing an entire army uniform,
overcoat and pack and in addition,
towing a boat full of passengers is
the most unusual stunt promised by
Andy Gault of Iowa who will per-
form at Lake Redwood this evening
at Gas. Gault will swim on the west
side of the lake near the ice house.
Gault claims he first got the idea
while in France while serving with
the Gath Inf. band where he also ORR
ginated the pastime of playing his
cornet in the deepest water he could
find.
He swims part of the time on his
back, sometimes on his side, and a
good share of the time on his breast,

INSANE MAN FOUND IN
BONDS BY IOWANS MAY
BE FORMER ST. PETERTTE

"Was the fluent stranger who stay
ed in St. Peter several weeks this
spring the John M. Smith that Iowa
authorities sought for so. long for an
attempt at an insurance fraud?" St.
Peter residents are asking this ques-
ton, according to the Herald.
St. Peter people saw Smiths pic
ture in the papers recently, after he
was found in ditch in northern
Iowa, bound hand and foot, and they
were reminded of the affable strang-
er who hung around that city for
many weeks last winter and spring
waiting for something to turn up"
The stranger came to town and. in
quired about farm work, later work.
ing for time on two farms in that
vicinity. He knew practically moth
ing of farming, which again fits into
the Smith picture, for the man was
manufacturer and salesman of IN
secticides. He disappeared several
weeks ago as mysteriously as he
had come.
The stranger was first believed to
be federal agent, for he apparently
was well educated and informed, had
travelled much and was an able con-
versationalist. Smith fits this picture
also, for he was candidate for gov
ernor in Iowa last year.
A st. Peter resident wrote 10 the
Iowa sheriff who found Smith, ex-
planning the opinions held locally
about the stranger. He received a
letter in return asking for further
information.
Smiths disappearance caused a
sensation last winter. His burned
truck was found beside the road one
morning, and a charred body was
found in the cab. The body was bur-
led as Smiths but agents of an IN
surance company in which Smith had
a $4,000 policy, started an investi-
CATION, exhumed the charred corpse
and proved that it had been dead
body before the truck fire and was
not that of Smith. Since then a ma
tion-wide search has been carried on
for the missing Smith, ending with
his capture along the Iowa roadside
close to the Minnesota line.
The signature of the stranger as
HI. Melin placed ON the Cooks hotel
register in ST. Peter has been sent to
the Iowa. authorities in an effort to
solve the mystery by comparison
with Smiths handwriting.
After Smith was taken into custo-
dy, all that he would say was that
he had been bound and held captive
by bootleggers since his mysterious
disappearance. He has ben found in
sane and committed to an asylum.

Adding their mite TO the strength
of the rapidly growing Chinese in
vasion OF the Imperial county jail,

Ling, 33, yesterday placed their
names on the jail meal book, to
be guests at the Hotel de Camp

ly growing numbers lately have
been taken to the Jail by immigra
ton officers, after slipping across
the linz without benefit OF passport.
Wo and Ling were arrested west
Of Calexico, without cent and

as their only personal belongings.
