of liquor. Deputy Sheriff Benjamin Brady took the two men to the county jail this afternoon.
 The raid on the still on Railroad
 Hill street, near the corner of Washington avenue, was not made by the emergency squad but by a special detail of police headed by Captain Frank Cutting and Ser gent Henry Johnson. The raid fol- lowed the stench from the dis carded fluid from mash. The waste
 ran into a brook in Magner's alley. Tracing the cause of the smell the police found the huge distillery, one of the largest ever captured by the local authorities. In the city court the two defendants were giv- en heavy money penalties. They appealed to the common pleas court. To-day's sentences involved no fines but, instead, the 3O-day sentences.
 The two men, when arraigned
 before Judge Finn, claimed that thev had lived in the city for sev- eral years and had never before got into any trouble. Despite the belief of the authorities that others owned the plant they were unable to get any information from the two men. It is the opinion of the police that they are taking the rap" for the real owners but with no success in unearthing evidence as to the suspected proprietors the authorities were unable to proceed in any manner other than they did to-day.

 Judge Finn to-day also granted .f in case of Frank Salinardi. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail last week for breach of the peace. He was scheduled to start serving his term to-day. Counsel appeared for him to-day and gained another stay until Monday. Salinardfs mother died a month ago and memorial services will be conduct ed for her on Monday. He will go to the county jail directly after wards to begin serving his 30 days.

CARNIvOROUs PLANT

The little sundew plant of New foundland eats insects. When one alights on the little red hairs which cover the flower of the plant, it is caught by a sticky H. ouid. The hairs roll inward and drop off the insect in the center of the flower. Here 1t soon dies and is digested.

Tokio, Oct 13- (UP) = Japan sought direct negotiations with China to-day as the League of Ma tions council convened at Geneva in an attempt to prevent war be- tween the two nations.
 Baron Kijuro. Shidehara, Japa- nese foreign minister. ignored the suggestions of the diplomatic corps in seeking closer contact with Ranking government authorities. China already has refused to deal directly with Tokio, preferring in- stead to keep the league between them.
 Shidehara informed his diplo- mats he had decided to negotiate with Ranking on Fundamentals of the Manchurian crisis. A settle ment must include China's pledge to cease anti-Japanese activities within it's own country, especially anti-Japanese teachings in school books, Shidehara said.

The government claimed that a dangerous situation existed to-day near Shanhaikwan in Manchuria and instructed the legation at Peiping to inform Chang Hseuh- Liang, Manchurian ruler, of possi- ble trouble in that region. A clash was feared between 2,000 Chinese troops said to be retreating from Chenchow toward Shanhaikwan, where 150 Japanese guards are stationed in accordance with pro- visions of the Boxer treaty.
 A warning was issued that if the Japanese guards were attacked, re- Tientsin and vigorous retaliation would follow.
 According to figures available here, increase of the Japanese forces in Manchuria since the out break of trouble with China brought the total force to 15,000 men, well armed and highly trained compared with Chinese force of approximately 100000 soldiers.
 Japan has aatreaty right to keep approximately 16,000 men in Man. churia to safeguard the south Manchurian railroad and protect Japanese life and property.
 The presence of some 40,000 So- viet Russian troops in the eastern border territory near Manchull, where the Chinese eastern railroad crosses from Russian into Chinese territory was not considered alarm ing. Troops are usually on duty there to guard the railroad.

Chinese Troops Move


 Peipin, China, oct 13-UP)- Chinese troops moved northward from the Yangtze river to-day, ap- parently in anticipation of possible warfare with Japan, it was learned by foreign military at- taches here.
 A Manchurian communique is- sued here at the same time said that Japanese airplanes bombed three train loads of Chinese sol- idiers at Tahusan to-day. Casualties were not determined.
 The most important immediate task, Yoshizawa said, is to relieve the tension of the Chinese and Japanese people by mutual CO., operation to attain an agreement on certain main principles which would lay the foundation for main- tenance of normal conditions and result in the withdrawal of troops.
 I've are ready to negotiate with the Chinese immediately on these Fundamental principles" he an- nounced.
 China will never agree to direct negotiations while Japanese troops are on her soil and separations have not been made, Sze said. If China has steadily refused to accept direct negotiations, he said. it is because they could never suc- ceed and hence China had placed the entire case before the league.

 Local matters, such as difficul- ties arising from fighting between Japanese and Chinese troops, will be settled with local Manchurian authorities, according to Shide-- hara.

 Syndicated Vice Where
 Others Merely Pcddled It
 The events of the years have moved swiftly for this young Italian now only 32 or 34. He came out here from Brooklyn in 1919 as a roughneck bouncer in a cheap bowdy house, and joined up with the first Chicago gangs when the liquor racket began. Amid series of shocking murders that marked successive steps, he rose to wealth and power. A genius for organiza- ton, though an evil genius, he syn dicated and marketed vice on an elaborate scale where his prede- cessors had merely peddled it. He made it pay, butt develops now he squandered his own part as fast as he made it and sometimes faster.
 The men who wrecked this vast organization by digging up the evil dence that brought Capone's chief lieutenants into court for violation of the income tax law and finally got the "big fellow" himself were not rootin', tootin' two-gun officers of the old school or detectives who | resorted to disguises and the like. Instead, they were quiet, per sistent accountants employed by the U. $.

This was an expensive thing. For example, at the Lexington hotel where he lived in Room 430 at times, he always engaged the rooms directly above him. directly below him and on each side of his body guards. Even the joys and com forts that his money brought never eased his constant fear of assas- sination.
 These bodyguards, usually about seven in number, cost money, too. They were reported to draw $10O a week each. Their job was to pro- tect their chief from the sudden cx- termination that had overtaken so many of his predecessors. They were always with him.
 Lawyers found Capone's patron age profitable, even if their ethics were strained thereby. The fact is | that, because of the nature of things. they charged Capone fee approximately twice that they would charge an ordinary client for d similar service.
 Moreover, as chief of the gang, Capone was required to pay the legal expenses and provide bond for any of the gang members who got into trouble: And this expense

His gangs dog track where fleet greyhounds once raced amid heavy wagers (and which actually paid a 300 per cent profit in one year, as shown in the prosecution of one or the Guzik cases) has been closed.
 His gangs gambling houses are having a hard time trying to find sufficient patrons who are willing Cor financially able) to spend any thing like the money they once spent, and the same applies to his brothels.
 A business executive of another kind might have seen all this ap- preaching and applied the brakes. but Capone was either too dumb or unable to.
 A Reckless Spender
 And Big Gambler
 In his heydey of easy sailing and big profits, he learned to spend money recklessly and with little thought of the future. He gambled on the races on a big seals, sqIan- dered lavishly.
 Precluded by the nature of things from the popular and cultured associates the others couuld enjoy naturally, he sought to buy this with his money.
 He did this by entertaining on a big-and expensive - scale and lavish display of wealth. At his home in Florida, where he tried vainly to get in with a betetr class of people in an apparent effoi to gratify some secret social ambi- tions, he often entertained as many as 25 or 30 dinner guests.

 Chicago.-Al Ca2ope,. for whom the gates of the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan are to open soon, is broke.
 The evil genius of organized crime who welded Chicago's vice, gambling and bootlegging into a business of gigantic proportions with annual receipts running into the millions, has seen his vast syn dicate crash on the rock that has wrecked so many legitimate enter prises-depression.
 To-day his big underworld organ ization is financial derelict and Capone, himself, is insolvent and heavily in debt.
 Authority for these statements are officials of the U. s. Internal Revenut Bureaus intelligence unit" (the secret service of the 1n- come tax bureau) who worked quietly for more than three years in getting the evidence for the income tax fraud case against Capone. So deeply did they dig into his affairs and 50 remarkably did they succeed that Capone chose to plead guilty rather than fight.
 Tnsolvent," Says Chicago
 Chief of Income Tax Men
 "Al Capone is insolvent and heavily in debt to his friends" says A. P. Madden, special agent in charge of the Chicago office of the intelligence unit, who has been in charge of the long investigation into gangster chiefs financial af- fairs. "If he had ot liquidate to- day, his liabilities would exceed his assets by 10 to l."
 Elmer l.. Trey, Washington chief of the Income Tax Bureaus investi- gators, who has given large part of his personal attention to the Ca pone case and made many visits to Chicago, debunks some of the re- cent stories about Capone's vast wealth.
 "Capone is not the financial power that the public thinks he is. D says Trey. "He might have had an income of $10,000 g. week for short periods but that was squandered, often in advance, by overdrawing his percentage in enterprises in which he is reported to be inter- ested. There is no foundation in fact for some of the widely circu-

lated stories that his income ran into millions and neither Capone nor any one of his representatives has offered the government $4,000,- 900 in settlement of the tax or criminal cases against him. Pawns Wife's Jewels;
 Borrows from Friends
 Among other facts turned up by the government investigators dur ing their long inquiry into his af- fairs were:
 Capone, hard pressed for cash, pawned some of his wife's jewels to meet payments on his home in Florida.
 He borrowed s25,OOO from a money lender on Chicago's West Side.
 He has not kept up his payments on two 16-cylinder Cadillac automo- piles that he bought early this year.
 He is heavily in debt to certain friends who have extended him huge personal loans.
 Of course, this does not mean that Capone is in want-or any thing like that. Temporarily, at least, he can still command and de- mand. And demand for a loan, backed by the general knowledge that it might not be wise to refuse, can be expected to get results. Probably it has already.
 The reasons for Capone's finan- cial downfall are not hard to under stand.
 Much of the credit is due to the efficient work of the Internal Reve- nue Bureaus agents who wrecked his vast financial organization with a series of relentless income tax prosecutions against his chief lieu tenants. Two of these - Frank Nitti the Capone gang treasurer, and Sam Guzik, who directed the big gambling syndicates - are al- ready in the penitentiary. Several others - including AIS brother. Ralph Capone, who directed the beer activities have been con- victed and sentenced but are now at liberty on appeal.
 Liquor Market Also
 Hit by Depression
 The business factors entering into the collapse are clear, too.
 The market for beer and liquor in Chicago is off, as it is in other cities depression is the answer. At the night clubs and other gay places, the crowds are thinner and even among those that remain there aren't so many guests who are now willing Cor able) to pay ] SIP or $16 quart for Capone's best | liquor.
 At the other end of the line, the cheap corner speakeasies (operat- ing as legitimate soft drink par lors) and the beer flats where one can buy glass of Capones beer | for 25 cents, have also felt the | slump caused by jobless men.

He wore big diamonds himself and loaded his wife down with jewels (some of which, at least--as already stated - he has since pawned.
 A man of extravagant tastes, he lavished money on his own attire Once when government agents raided his apartments in a Cicero hotel (and htsi was only one of the several living establishments he maintained, for safety's sake) they found 16 suits of clothes, all made by a Chicago tailor whose minimum price Is $135 suit.

Certain drugs taken internally, have

This type Of badness denudes the

remain under the sympathetic system,

it has no such potency. Its control is
through the nerves.
Drugs whose action upon the sys-

to that of thallium acetate have shown
some powers of preserving hair.
