Democrats. with practically no contest in their party, prepared to give Senator-Elec James Hamilton Lewis welcome home from Arizona that would be more uproarious than any of the republican demonstrations which have kept the loop in turn moil for days.
 Capone, whom Judge Lyle has &C., cused in all his addresses of con- tributing to Thompson's campaign fund, was reported to have arrived from Florida and to be issuing or ders to his lieutenants for their con duct tomorrow.
 Reports were he was taking no chances by coming into Chicago, but was hiding in his favorite strong hold, Cicero.
 Announcement that an attempt would be made in the state legisla- ture to impeach Lyle was made by Newell Mccartney, judge advocate of the seventh district of Illinois of the American Legion.
 We are going to proceed against Lyle, not because he is a candidate for mayor, but because of his ill treatment of war veterans arraigned before him on varous and petty of- renses," Mccartney stated.

First Is Prospect of No Ex= tra Session of Congress Second Is the Further Evidence That the AutO- mobile Business Is on the Increase
By ELMER c. WALZER !, United Press Financial Editor

New York. Feb 23.-(UP)-Al financial markets. banks and com modity markets closed to-day in ob servaace of Washington's birthday will resume tomorrow with two bullish factors in prospect. se.
 The first is the prospect of no ex tra session of congress and the sec ond, further evidence of a genuine increase in automobile business.
 On the other hand, the market ha: risen more than 20 points in the las three weeks. Shorts have covered and technical reaction should oc- cur.
 At each period of strength shorts have put out new lines only to be forced to. cover in few days al higher prices. Recently small trad CTS have been taking stock and it is this factor which makes for uncer- tainty in predictions.
 As in all bull swings no attention has been paid recently to bad news which included many dividend omis- sions, poor showing by railroads gasoline price reductions, increased petroleum output, and low foreign trade figures.
 Some concluded the market had discounted that bad news and now is discounting a real all around im- provement in business.
 Wall street observers see in the pickup in the automo bile business a clew to the future
 Inasmuch as stocks of automobiles have been reduced. any. pickup in demand for new cars will be reflect ed at once in additions to present payrolls. Automobile makers are largest users of steel and the latter industry already is ,benefitting. The automobile line also absorbs huge quantities of cotton. tires, copper, nickel, glass, leather. and a long list of other products.
 Auburn has stepped up production and is forced to defer delivery due to piling up of orders. Ford also has stepped up production, with sev- eral others. se-e '
 As a result, steel plants last week held their own when a falling off in output might have been reported.
 Executives of automobile plants and steel experts aFea still ioath to picture a runaway market for adto- mobiles and the steel men warn that this pickup might. be flash in the pan. .'s'.f,s s-3'is T s.iss.. v x {: { " 3 T

Steel stocks were,s bid up on the strength of the automobile demand.
 The final session of last week saw further heavy short covering. as the bears feared something bullish might come out over the two-day shut down that would send stocks up at the opening Tuesday.

i 1916, the Rotary motto Service Above Self-He Profits Most Who Serves Best" When there were six teen clubs in the United States, the founder felt that there should be some means of cooperation between them. With Chesley R. Perry, a young Chicago librarian and teach
 CT, Paul Harris brought together representatives from these sixteen clubs in August, 1910, and founded an association, now known as Ro- tary International. Paul Harris be- came the firset president and Ches- ley Perry the secretary. Harris is now president-emeritus and Perry is still secretary, after more than twenty years.
 Slowly at first and then at the
 rate of two or three hundred a year, Rotary clubs were formed in coun-
 try after country until to-day there
 are more than sixty countries or
 geographical areas in which Rotary
 clubs have been established. In the
 past year there has been added to
 this list Algeria, Morocco, Southern
 Rhodesia and Kenya Colony in Af-
 rica, Estonia in Europe and Sumat-
 ra, Straits Settlements and Siam in
 southeastern Asia. /
 The first president of the new Ro-
 tary club of Bangkok. Siam, is
 Prince Purachatra, brother of the
 king of Siam.
 In that southeastern corner of Asia and the adjacent islands, where so many nationalities, races and re- ligions mingle and c1ush, the growth of Rotary in the past year has been extraordinary. Malay sultans, Brit ish governors, Chinese. Japanese, Hindu and European business and professional men have been brought together in Rotary clubs, which have found such a remarkable well come because they offered the first and the only means of social con- tact between the governmental, commercial and native leaders.
 Rotary offered to these mixed populations the practical point of view of the active business man, combined with an altruistic philos- ophy. "He profits most who serves best" was translated in both ways. from the unselfish attitude of the and from the busi- | ness-like view of the merchant who | expands his market because he gives | the best value. There is to-day a l chain of nearly $500 Rotary clubs I encircling the world. In each of | them the Rotarian visitor may find | friends. There are more than 155,- 900 of these Rotarians, each of them | his influence in his own small circle, each inspired by the l thought of Service above self"

(Unitcd Press Staff Correspondent
 Chicago. Feb 23.-UP)-Report ed arrival of Scarface Al Capone, ito take care of his interests and assignment of almost 10000 watch CTS to guard the polls were two of many sensational developments as Chicago's bitterly fought primary campaigns came to a noisy close.
 Some other last minute sensations in the race between Mayor William Hale Thompson, Judge John H Lyle, Alderman Arthur F. Albert, and two other candidates, for the republican nomination to become worlds fair mayor, were:
 Violence, predicted by both Lyle and Thompson, began with an un- successful attempt to assassinate Theodore Clifford, an aldermanic candidate; a group of World war veterans announced they would file impeachment proceedings against Judge Lyle; Thompson announced that, win or lose, he would Spare no effort to aid the veterans. .. ....

Back on Job

For instance, Walter johnson
will again be field marshal of
the fighting forces. Mike Mar
tin, a trusted old servant of the
House of Griffith, is retained
as regimental surgeon, and
frankie Baxter will be in
charge of the club chattels, ex-
cepting, Of course, the check
book.
Possibly Of lighter significance
is the fact that Nick Altrock
and AL Schacht will again be
with us mirth provokers, this
being very important essen
tial, particularly when the club
hits upon hard times afield.
There was some ugly rumor
going around a few months ago
to the effect the comedy team
of Altrock and Schacht was on
the rocks, but you couldn't pry
those two apart with tear gas.
There was a little spat about
a moving picture contract, but
it was only incidental. The
boys were getting ready to do
a short subject, and when it
came time to sign the con-
tract Altrock discovered thai
Scnacht's name was ahead of
his on the contract. Nick
thought that in view of his
years on the club his name
should have come first-and
there the matter rests.

ROCKNE LAUDS
ATHLETES

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Having
won honors on the athletic field.
Coach Knute Rockne, of Not-e
Dame, today was out after class
room titles. The famous mentor
believes football players are just
as smart in book learning" as
on the gridiron.,
In accepting the Albert Russell
Erskine football award, emblem
attic of the 1880 national football
championship, here yesterday
from Mayor James H. Walker on
behalf of the Notre Dame team
Rockne denied football was over
emphasized and championed the
all around ability of his players,
He said:
"The award of this cup may
symbolic to some the over
emphasis Of football, but it
does not seem to me that be-
cause a man is keen, intelligent
and able on the gridirOn that
he must be dumb in the class
room, any more than it follows
that because he is keen in the
classroom he will be dumb on
the football field.

Tough in Minors

Then too there is the matter
of the Washington farm at
Chattanooga. That is quite a
drain on any profits the local
club may make, it standing
behind the purchase of the
minor league team, morally
and financially.
AS the minors are having
tough skidding these days, it is
doubtful if the Lookouts did
more than hold their own last
season, say nothing Of being
able to make much Of pay
ment on the notes signed at the
hour of Joe Engel's undertaking
down yonder.
The club will be piloted
through the business season of
1881 with the same set of eXecu-
tives, field generals and club
house boys and court testers.
Everything that was done at
the session was done unani-
mously and with a spirit of har-
mony prompting each move.

Well, things could be worse!
For instance the business de-
preston hasn't hit baseball,
leastways not in Washington.
The club held its annual
stockholders huddle yesterday
and everything was reported in
a fine, healthy state Of cor
poreal being.
True, they didn't skim any
cream off the crock, but that
wasn't because the old COW
hadn't been giving milk. Fact
Is the skimming was done last
summer as the cream accumu-
lated, what with amplifying
devices, electric lights for night
sports and other improvements
slapped on the plant which
makes it an altogether more
valuable piece Of property to
the stockholders.
They take the improvements
rather than the dividend which
isn't the dumbest procedure
in the world.

KEARNS SCORES
Commission

NEW YORK. Jan. TITS
the most terrible thing 1 ever
heard Of" was the comment
made by Jack Kearns, former
manager of Jack Dempsey, on
the action of the New York
Boxing Commission in vacating
the heavyweight title of Max
Schmeling.
Talking over the telephone
from Philadelphia, Kearns said
that while Schmeling may not
have been entitled to the title ir
the first place, he did not see
how the commission could take
it away from him after present
ing the crown to him.
Kearns, who is manager of
Mickey Walker, middleweight
champion, said declaring the
middleweight title null and void
as far as Walker was concerned
did not mean a thing"
Mickey is not licensed in
New York, so how can he be
suspended?" asked Kearns.
