'The Lorgnette," as the program is called tells
us in its notes:
The long-looked-for races between the Ana

success and credit to both crews; the Potomacs

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october 23.-Attorneys for
Alphonse Capone made a desperate last
minute effort today to stave of a peni-
tertiary sentence for violating income
tax laws.
Attorney Fink said he thought it $50
plain" that the indictments were not
specific and that the verdict, finding
Capone guilty on five counts and not
guilty On 10, was inconsistent, that he
doubted that it would be necessary to
argue the point.
You may proceed said the court
Capone arrived early and paced the
corridor waiting for the court room to
be opened. His index finger on the
right hand was bandaged. He said he
had "cut it,"
The gang chief wore his usual set
smile, but was reticent with questiontrs
He had no idea" he said, whether he
would go to Florida soon.
THE indictments clearly state"
GroSsman said, that the defendant
had certain gross income for each
year. that he had a certain stated net
income, that he was under duty to file
returns and pay a tax on this income.
1t goes on to say that he failed to file
such returns and that he attempted
to defeat and evade the tax. The in
dictments are plainly worded in &C

WOOD RE|TERATES
CHARGES ON NAVY
Reproduced Letter Bears Out
Propaganda Contention,
He Declares.

Representative Will Wood, chairman
of the House Appropriations Commit
tee, who yesterday charged minor naval
officers with propaganda opposing the
Presidents naval budget reduction pro-
gram. today issued the following
dictated statement regarding the text
of a letter circulated among bureau
chiefs of the Navy, a page of which
was reproduced in The Star yesterday:
THE publishing in the papers Of
what purports to be the exact text OF
a letter from the Secretary of the Navy
to the President suggesting details as
to how substantial savings can be made
constitutes a complete admission OF
the charges that made yesterday.
Says Motive Is Apparent.
This Government of ours Is facing a
substantial deficit in it's treasury OF
hundreds of millions of dollars. APP
propriations must be cut down. The
money simply Is not available Every
department of the Government has been
called upon to bear its share of the
reduction, including the Navy. This
department ought to do so, and in do
ing so it ought to have united and
wholehearted support within the de-
partment.
Apparently the President asked the
department to make substantial cuI
of certain figure approXimating $780,
100000 from its proposed estimates. Ir
the effort made within the department
to make this reduction, and before its
officials had met with the director OF
the budget, the head of the department,
apparently advised the President of the
details Of just how it proposed to make
this reduction. Among the items were
those such as decommissioning the
U. S. S. Constitution and abolishina
the Navy Band. The amount of ex-
penditures' involved was small indeed
1t was apparent to every one that the
including of these items was obviously
designed to create opposition to the
Presidents program that the Navy bear
its share in this reduction of expendi-
lures.
Wants Guilty" Discharged.
"This becomes even more apparent
when, contemporaneous with the date
of the letter of the Secretary of the
Navy to the President, the substance OF
1IS COAlbChtO 10 8IVCh OuI W tAiC pACoo
This was a confidential communication
Who in the department gave it out
nobody knows. 1t was given out, and
it was confidential. That is not the
way the Navy should Cooperate. II
there was united and whole-hearted
support within the department and CO.
operation with the heads of the depart
ment. neither the substance nor the text
of this letter from the Secretary of the
Navy to the President would have been
given out for publication.
1.-The publication of the contents, first
in substance and later with exact text
fully confirms the statements and
charges that I made to the press yes
terday of the effort on the part of some
folks in the department to make un-
popular these necessary reductions
which every department must make and
which the Navy Department ought II
join in making and to do so with q
united front.
"And again I say that whoever has
been guilty of this breach of faith ha,
no part in the Government service and
ought to be summarily f1red."
