CHICAGO, July 4.-What
the Lake Forest justice of the
peace said to the Highwood
justice of the peace explains
what happens when one Justice
Of the peace is arraigned be-
fore another justice of the
peace for speeding through a
town at f1fty-f1ve miles an
hour.
ut was this way, your
honor" said Justice of the
Peace Charles Glass Of High
wood to Justice of the Peace
Edwin Burgess Of Lake Forest.
Il had several speeding cases
coming up in my court and I
already was late for the ses-
sion. In my hurry to get
through your town over to nv
town 1 might have driven a
little faSo. But the highway
was clear and I saw no harm
in it,"
Justice Of the Peace Glass
agreed with his colleague and
dismissed the case.

And the jaunty sports cap came
off worst of all. It actually raised
the temperature above the head a
degree and half, to 98.6 degrees.
This might have been expected, for
a cap lays layer of cloth-usually
non-conducting wool-fat on the
head, without the ventilating air
space underneath that even a derby
allows. The moral would therefore
seem to be, save your sports caps
for fall and wear a panama, or no
hat at all, on the links in summer.
The Paris scientist did not report
the temperature inside a silk tile.
This might seem remarkable. con-
sidering the traditional supposition
that all F'renchmen wear them at

Neither did the researcher report

hats. Which possibly may have been
another exercise of his Gallo good

RENO, New, July 4.-The biggest
little city in the world" wrote it's
own declaration of independence to-
day at a Fourth of July tumble of
gambling, prize-f1ghting, horse rae
ing and fireworks limited only by
the blue desert sky.
Special trains by the score, auto
mobiles by the hundreds and air
planes by the dozen poured into the
famous divorce metropolis. From
the sandy wastes of Nevada came
proSpectors on burros, cowboys on
horseback and ranchers in buck
board wagons.
They all joined in the fun and
there was no pause in the hilarity
when midnight signaled the start
of Liberty day in a town that makes
liberty pay big dividends.
The climax of the big day was
the scheduled twenty-round fight
between Paolino Uzcudum and Max
Baer.

CHICAGO, July 4.-Braving gang
guns and continually keeping on
the trail of beer runners, Uncle
Sans secret service" Of the in
ternal revenue department finally
got enough" on Al Capone to send
him to prison, the gang chieftain
pleading guilty and taking his SEN
tence calmly.
The game was up.
Capone, himself, was linked to
the beer industry by two methods.
One was the showing that on
March Ia, 1923, one Of the sixty
eight defendants transmitted $4,000
to Capone at Miami, Fla, by tele-
graph, the money being addressed
to Capone under the alias Of "A.
Costa"
A similar Geographic transmits
sion Of $4,000 was made on June %,
1923.
Wires Were Tapped
The second method was by tap
ping telephone wires and listen
ing in on gangsters' conversations.
This particular wire tapping re-
vealed meeting held at the Lex
ington hotel. a Capone headquar-
tiers, with Capone present, and at
which beer plans were discussed.
Oddly enough, it was found that
Capone was referred to in tele-
phone conservations not as "the
Big Fellow" or mo. l." but as
Smoky" This, it seems, is the
name of a prize dog owned by one
Of Capone's friends.
Operated Ten Breweries y
According to- Investigators, the
gang has had in operation at all
times an average of ten breweries,
each capable of producing 100
barrels of beer day.
This Capone beer cost about Sc or
81 barrel to make and sold for
$55 a barrel, the spread taking care
OF profits, protection of various
kinds, delivery expenses, etc. The
saloonkeepers retailed it for 25
cents a glass.
Through it all ran the thread Of
a huge, finely organized industry,
operating on tremendous scale in
brazen defiance of the law, 1t was
a business with angles.
Practically all the liquor sold in
Chicago has been charged to Ca
pone's gang which long ago estab-
lished regular territories with care
fully laid out boundary lines.
Formerly, there were bloody wars
between rival gangs for certain
choice territories, but recently Ca
pone has had little competition.
In Easy Position
Capone found himself in a very
fortunate (and profitable) position.
While no effort to pin any rivals
sudden demise on him was ever sue
cessful, it seems odd that men who
tried to muscle in" on his rackets
had the misfortune to get in the
way of somebody's stream Of ma
chine gun bullets or disappeared on
a one-Way ride.
Most spectacular of all was the
st. Valentines day massacre of 1929
when seven members of Bugs
Moran'S North Side gang, who had
taken over a territory after Dion
O'Bannion and Hymie Weiss had
been slain. were lined against a
garage wall and cut down with ma
chine guns.
When the news came to him that
his men were dead, Moran cried out:
only Capone's guns kill like
thatl"

POSSIBILITY that Evans Woollen
= ST., Indianapolis banker and
favorite son candidate for President
in 1928, may be angling for the
same honor next year was seen
in his appearance at the Indiana
Democratic editors meeting al
Gary.
Close friends of the banker, who
also was the Democratic candidate
for United States senator against
Arthur R. Robinson in 1926, losing
only by 1851 votes, declare he will
not again seek that honor.
Evidence of the regard in which
Woollen is held by Democratic edi-
tors and workers was seen at Gary
when he was accorded an ovation
upon his introduction.
That he would be formidable
contender for the senatorial NOM
nation next year there can be little
doubt. Some, however, who feel
that during this time of economic
stress banker would not suit the
temperament of the people.
Woollen and Walter Myers, 1881
Speaker of the house, were the only
possible senatorial candidates pres
ent at the Gary meeting.
Absence of Albert Stump, 1926
and 1928 nominee, and Fred Van
Mugs, both of whom have been
prominently mentioned for the nom
ination, was noticed and caused
comment.
1t is known, Of course, that
Stump often has declared he viii
not be a candidate if Woollen de-
sires the post, while Van Mugs, who
would be a favorite out-in-front
contender, repeatedly has an
nounced he does not want the nomi-
nation.
eff it is true that the banker har-
bors no desire for the toga why dic
he attend the Gary meeting?" il
the question asked.
ana Ine logical answer Is that he
may, perhaps, desire to be the IA
yorite son candidate again.
If Roosevelt, Owen D. Young or an
other eaSterner would be nominated
for the presidency, Woollen, it j.
thought, could be named as the
running mate, as it would he
deemed necessary to recognize the
middle west.
Perhaps that is the plan.
An incident which has increased
the venom Of Democratic editors
toward Republicans, whose admins
tration they like to blame for the
closing Of many banks occurred at
Gary Saturday.
The members Of the Democratic
Editorial Association were jubilant
when the accounts for the mid
summer meeting showed a profit of
approximately $3.50. 1t had been
feared that the heat would keep
many away and the affair would
go into the red.
Claude G. Brodhecker, president
of the association, rushed the
money over to the Gary State Bank

LABOR LEADERS
TELL AIMS

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 d.N.S0 .
Unemployment could be greatly
relieved by adoption Of the five
day week, modification OF the
Volstead act and the shorter
work-day, labor leaders informed
the Marcy legislative committee
in session here today.
Compulsory unemployment IN
surance was opposed by labor, the
witnesses said.
John O'Hanlon, secretary-treas-
urer of the New York State
federation of Labor, and Hugh
Frayne, New York representative
of the American Federation OF
Labor, gave the unionist view
points.
Frayne also said idleness could
be lessened by taking women and
children out of industry. He de
clared 2,500,000 children are nor
mally employed.
O'Hanlon, as well as Frayne'
opposed wage reductions.

'S NET
INCOME GUT

A decrease Of $31,529.37 in net
income of the Capital Traction
Company for October was in
dicated in the report made pub
lie yesterday. For the first 10
months of the present year the
company reported a decrease in
net income of $76,438.15.
Operating revenues for October
were $313,524.86, compared with
$374,646.57 in the same month
last year, a decrease of over $61,-
900. Operating expenses and
taxes called for $259,029.S7, in
comparison with $288,359.6O in
the like period a year ago, a
drop of over $4,000.
This left an operating income
of $54,494.99, compared with $685..
286.97 in October, 1881, a de-
crease of $31,791.9S. The reason
for the falling off in net income
during the month was largely
due to decline of 564,326 reve-
nue-paylng passengers.

MANY REPORTED
TAKING CURB
LOSSES
Heavy Early Offerings Help
to UnSettIe Market
and Halt Rally

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 ON.S0.
Curb stocks faltered once more
in efforts to regain some of their
losses sustained this week, and,
with liquidation breaking out
anew in key issues throughout
the list, the market as a whole
remained in a more or less ull-
settled state for most Of today's
session.
Heavy offerings of such highly
regarded issues as Electric Bond
and Share, American Gas and
Electric, and others, is believed
to be part Of the house-cleaning
campaign now under way by in
vestment trusts.
Many Take Losses
Reports emanating from usually
well-informed quarters indicate
that many of these holding COM
panieS are taking their losses for
tax purposes. Certain quarters
still cling to the hope, however,
that some worthwhile improve
ment may really materialize in
prices before many days nave
passed.
Utilities were largely unsettled
by the further dip in Electric
Bond & Share, which fell to a
new low on the move at 1873, off

rants registered a new low for the
year at 634, and fractional de-
clines cropped up in American q

Oils proved to be quite reac'
tionary. in sharp contrast to the
comparative firmness this group
has shown in the setback of the
past week or so. Standard OF
Ohio, in one of its infrequent ap.
pearances, showed a loss OF 3

New York, embittered by stock

James F. Jarman, Nashville,

that New Yorkers don't see the

He has just returned from a
trip around the country, and no
where did he find the pessimistic
spirit that is in New York.
They are through playing the
market, outside of New York, jar
man added.
Jarman has drawn up six sug-
gestions for hurrying along pros
perity, suggestions which he de-
clares are worth something mas
much as they increased the bust
ness of his shoe company IL per
cent during the year Of depression.
His factory made $4,000 more
pairs of shoes during 1930-31 than
it did during 1929-30. The rules
follow:
Here Are His Rules.
/. Forget profit, and think In
terms of employment. Run your
plant full even it it means cutting
down what you make.
z. Spend all prospective profit
as you go along.
3. Improve your product con-
Stantly, regardless of conditions.
4. Tell the world about 1t.
5. Don't cut wages.
6. Play, as Bobby Jones does,
against par and not against your
opponent, the opponent being, to
