U, S. HUNTING
AL CAPONE'S
HIDDEN RICHES
Government to File Civil
Liens Against All
Property Found.

By United Press
CHICAGO, June e.-Officials of
the United States government
hunted today throughout the land
for the boarded wealth Of Scarface
AL Capone.
The government spent three years
and fortune piecing together evil
dence that Capone made at least
81 ,038,654 between 1924 and 1929,
then indicted him last week on a
charge of not paying income tax.
Collecting the proof that he really
had made his millions did not, how
ever end the work connected with
Attorney-General William D. Mitch
ellis announced intention of putting
Capone out of business.
George E. @. Johnson, United
States district attorney, who gath
cred the evidence, said the big jobs
remaining were to convict Capone
and find where he had hidden the
millions he is said to have made.
Confident of Conviction
Johnson is confident he can get
the conviction. One reason the in
dictment was delayed so long was
to make it strong, he said. AS for
the hidden wealth, it is predicted it
will be found scattered in invest
mentS from coast to coact. The
work of finding it is being directed
by Robert E. Nicely, acting collector
of internal revenue.
1T is not as easy as it sounds"
said Nicely. "Capone had no bank
accounts-at least not in his own
name. No doubt he owns much
property and perhaps a bank or
two, but others own them in name.
He dealt in cash only"
Nicely said civil liens would be
filed against every dollars worth of
pcrperty Capone owns-when and
If it is found. These actions, ne
said, are entirely apart from che
criminal indictments returned last
week.
Even if Capone is found guilty
and sentenced to the maximum of
thirty-two years possible under the
charges, it will not mean cancalla-
ton Of the $215,080 debt the gov
eminent says he owes, Nicely said.
His property, when found, will be
seized just as the federal govern
ment once seized the COWS and
other property Of Frank Lake, an
other Chicago gangsters whom the
government went after-and also
got.
Attachment Is Suspected
Nicely regarded with suspicion re-
ports that Capone's attorney, Vim
cent G. Giblin, had attached the
gangster's Florida estate with the
claim that Capone owed him a $780,
900 fee. The collector suspected the
attachment might be a move by
Giblin for his client The Miami
property is said to be in Mrs. Ca
pone'S name.
Meanwhile, Chicagoans are Won
dering just how much longer their
biggest "big shot" gangster was 60
ing to be able to hold on to his
title" with troubles besetting him
from every side.
The last few months have seen
Capone stills confiscated all @over
the country. One blow after an
other has been struck at his wealth
and his gang. One after another
Of his lieutenants have lost impor-
tant tits with the law. Some were
sent to prison. All had to furnish
high bonds. Capone's own series of
court fights have cost him thou
sands of dollars.

Washington dshions
By WILMA LAVnLE

Men still insist on wearing
conservative suits, but this year
patterned shirts will be good
for the first time in a long
time. We have had a few
stripes in recent seasons, but
they have had to take a very
decided back seat in relation to
plain colors. But this year the
tab collar shirt has brought in
small stripes, sometimes even
in more than one color. 1t is
true that they are quite thin,
and they cover the surface Of
the fabric so closely that they
appear plain at a distance, but
they are nevertheless stripes.
Blue is the leading color, with
gray very smart, and tans al
ways good. There will be few
greens, as green is really a
spring color.
Ties Are Gay
Again as relief from plain
colors, we welcome neckwear
with figures. They are small
figures, well.Spaced, and they
are on rather dark, conserva-
tive grounds, but they are the
type that is becoming to prac-
tically all mel, so that they
should be a great help in he
problem of gifts. Their colorS
are rich, even If they are dark.
