CAPONE LIKELY.
To GO To PEN
At ONCE
Wants to Get Credit for Time
He Must Serve While His
Appeal Is Being Decided On

CHICAGO, Oct. % dN.S).
AL Capone may capitulate to his
adversary, the United States Gov
ernment, and willingly go to
Leavenworth penitentiary, his
lawyers indicated today.
But this capitulatiOn would be
made only to avoid wasting
time" while his attorneys strive in
the higher courts to win q rever.
sal of the jury verdict finding him
guilty of defrauding the Govern
ment out of his income tax.
Bail Plea Denied
The possibility that Capone
may shortly ask to be taken to
Leavenworth, where hL is under
sentence to serve 10-year term,
arose as a consequence of ruling
by the Circuit Court Appeals,
denying the gangster his liberty
Oh bail.
The ruling, handed down yes
terday, was that Capone must re-
main in the county jail until his
appeal is disposed of, a matter Of
nearly two years if customary pro-
cedure is followed.
Thus, the appellate courts &C
ton in granting Capone's petition
for a stay of sentence, while at
the same time denying bail, is
of no value to the convicted
gangster's cause. Unless a court
higher than the appellate orders
Capone released on bail, he may
voluntarily request to be sent to
Leavenworth without further de.
lay in order to receive credit on
his sentence should his appeal be
denied.
Case May Shift Here
Michael Ahearn, the gangSter's
attorney, intimated he may go
to WaShingtOn and ask Supreme
Court Justice Van Devanter for
an order admitting his client to
bond and vacating the appellate
courts writ.
If customary procedure pre-"
walls, Capone's appeal may be
argued before the appellate court
in about two months and q
decision rendered probably next
February. If the appellate court
rejects the appeal, another year
will probably be consumed in
filing and arguing the appeal
before the United States Supreme
Court.
Meanwhile, Capone spends
much of his time in his tiny jail
cell, amusing himself with soil"
taire.

j. s. TREASURY
RMDSAT END

Raids on the Federal Treasury
will be effectually discouraged
when Congress gets a view Of the
figures in the 1888 budget to be
submitted in December, 1t was in
dicated from an official source
today.
While final estimates will not
be completed for a few days, the
belief exists that it will be the
third successive budget to be
balanced by borrowing money.
The budget, besides containing
estimates for the fiscal year
1888, will indicate the probable
receipts and expenditures for the
current year..
A continuation Of the present
rates of income and expenditures
would bring an appalling deficit
of at least $4,000, 600, 900, an un-
heard Of figures in peace time,
exceeded only in 1918 and 1919.

Noisy Newsboy 0. K,
Public Necessity,
Court Rules

SAN JOSE, Oct. 28.-It's not
disturbing the peace when a
newsboy cries his wares, no
matter how shrill and penetrat-
ing his voice.
So ruled Police Judge Percy
O'Connor, himself a former
newsboy, dismissing the case
against Donald Hansen, 10, in
his court.
Tenants of the Luba apart
ments on South First Street
complained that Hansen's shrjll-
voiced Salesmanship penetrated
the building to an annoying de-
gree. But it appears that a
newsboy's voice is something
of a public necessity.

Treasury POndering
Tax Deficit Solution

Treasury officials have begun
a series Of "tax conferences" on
the theory that dozens Of pro-
posals will be made in the next
Congress to revise the revenue
laws and the Treasury might as
well get prepared to discuss them,
Through these conferences it
is hoped that the fiscal experts
of the Government may present
a single concrete tax plan to
cure the xeisting Treasury deficit,
if Congress determines to open
up the revenue question.

NAN BR|TTON' 5
CHILD BANNED

TOLEDO, Ohio. Oct. % G.N.S0
Elizabeth Ann, daughter of Nan
Britton, plaintiff in the $4,000
libel suit against c. A. Klunk,
Marion, Ohio, hotel keeper, was
barred from the Federal court
room by Judge John M. Killits
when the trial was resumed to-
day.
In having the 13-year-old girl
removed from the courtroom,
Judge Killits pointed out the i'm
propriety of having the child
with her mother due to the char
acter of the testimony likely to
develop.
The trial came to a sudden
halt shortly before noon when
Judge Killets announced that be-
cause of the defense's concessions
in the opening statements, the
court was in error yesterday as to
upon whom the burden of proof
rested.
Judge Killets stated that the
plaintiff would have to prove the
publication of 1.-THE Answer"
inasmuch as the defense's admis-
sion was not as broad as it's allie
cations. It is a question of fact,
the court said, whether some
statements made in "The Answer"
refer to the plaintiff.
Eight Testify
Miss Britton, author Of "The
Presidents Daughter was ac-
companied to court yesterday, the
first day of the trial, by her
daughter, and sat with her dur
ing the sessions.
Eight residents of Marion late
yesterday took the witness stand
to testify against Miss Britton
after the jury had been seated in
record time, and the opening
statements had been presented.
Grant E. MOuSer, ST., Marion
attorney for C. A. Klunk, the de-
fendant, who is charged with dis
tributing the book, "The Answer
to the Presidents Daughter"
which allegedly contained de-
famatOry statements against Miss
BrittOn, declared he expected to
prove the allegations Of the
book.
Testimony Admitted
William Fish MarSteller, of
Cleveland, counsel for Miss Brit
ton, made repeated objections
against the testimony of the
Marion men on the grounds that
the witnesses were not acquainted
with the plaintiff. These objec-
tions were overruled by the court
who stated that persons who do
not know her still may be purvey-
orS Of her reputation"

GRIEF BREAKS
SHER|DAN'S
MOTHER.
Unable to Attend Final Mass
For Boy Dead Of Injuries
Suffered in Game With Yale

WEST POINT, N. Y, Oct. %
UNS0 Classmates paid trib-
ute to Cadet Richard Brinsley
Sheridan here today when they
assembled in the tiny Catholic
chapel to attend a requiem mass
celebrated by the Rev. j. A.
Langton, West Point chaplain.
Two members of Sheridan's
own company served as acolyteA
assisting Father Langton.
Mother Breaks Down
The compOsure which has
aroused the admiration Of all
who have come into contact with
her finally deserted the mother
of the young cadet, who died Sun
day of injuries received in the
YaIe-Army game on Saturday,
and she remained at the home OF
Capt. w. w. Warner under the
care of physicians.
Earlier in the morning had
entered the chapel to kneel be-
fore the flag-draped coffin where
four stalwart cadets in full dress
uniform stood at parade rest.
The full realization Of her loss
suddenly seemed to come to her
as she was led out of the church
on the arm of Father Langton.
She faltered and friendly arms
helped her into a car and she
was hurried back to Captain
Warmers home.
Brother Is Present
Only Gerald Sheridan. the "a
year-old brother of the dead
cadet, represented the family at
the mass. The Catholic choir of
which Sheridan was member
sang ANGELS of Jesus" and at the
conclusion of the mass Nearer,
My God, To Thee"
Then the cadets marched out
Of the church. Their faces were
solemn as though they realized
for the first time that the angel
of death had walked among them.
Unashamed tears glittered in
the eyes of Cadet Horace B.
Thompson who was Sheridan's
closest friend here at West Point.
He and Sheridan roomed together
at central barracks, but now
Room 882 will hold an empty bed.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, ST.,
father of the dead boy arrived
here this morning in time for the
services, but worried about the
condition of his wife, he remained
with her.

Bootleg Trade in Costly
 Gems NOlU Infests Africa

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, APril 27-Boetlegging in diamonds has sprung up in South Africa.
 Illicit diamond digging is per haps as highly organized as is rum-running in America.
 In Namaqualand, where tthe South African Government has established a monopoly over dia- mond production, professional dia- mond diggers, operating in secret by night, delve for diamonds all along the seashore from Port Nol- 10th to the mouth of the Orange river.
 Derby Inspectors
 Under protection of scouts and sentries, who give warning of the approach of government inspect ors, the diamond diggers move in semi military fashion, and run to bullet-proof shelters at the first sign of danger.
 The diggers move from one point to another over the long beach, and in the darkness it is almost impossible for the government agents to spot them.
 While the government forbids anyone from prospecting for dia- monds in Namaqualand, no law has been passed against digging in the rich diamond-bearing sands which are submerged at high tide.
 Are Arrested
 Private prospectors, who insist that the shifting area between the high and low-water marks is not within the government ban, re- gently recovered large quantities of diamonds in the disputed area, and were promptly arrested.
 The trial judge, however, liber- ated them, ruling the area was not included in the existing re- strictions.
 Some of these diamond diggers, who became rich overnight, re turned to Cape Town, and related that diamonds in enormous quan- titles were being recovered at low water in the Port Nolloth region. This was the signal for mad rush to the new Eldorado from all over South Africa.
 Troops and police were hurried from Cape Town to keep the army of fortune-hul ..ers out of the gov ernment's diamond preserves. The military forces checked the rush, but after the troops returned to Cape Town, the diggers resumed their night operations.

 Like most other leaders of the communist regime, Molotoff has had his share of ezarist jails. and exiles. His record shows six terms in prison and two banishments to Asia.s
 In 1920 Molotoff was secretary of the communist party of the Ukraine. Then he met Stalin, and his next post was secretary of the all-unionist communist party and member of it's central com mittee. In other words he went on the staff of the big leaders.
 When the recent premier, Rykoff, had to go because of his right views, Stalin picked Moloteff to succeed him.

Wild Duck Shooting
Only for This Month.

The season for duck shooting opened
on the first of the month and closes
the 31st, at sunset. Twelve ducks a
day and 100 birds for the season is the
limit allowed. The weather so far this
month has been against the hunter
and in favor of the duck Those who
have gone from here to their favorite
duck marshes report scarcity of birds.
This is accounted for throughout the
state by the scarcity of water in the
lakes of the state, Fairmont in the
southern portion reporting ten dry lakes
this year. Providing the weather turns
colder and more fall-lake, there is ex-
pected to be much good shooting yet
before the season ends.
Many small game licenses have been
issued. The accounting department of
the Minnesota game and fish depart
ment could make no estimate of the
number of licenses sold this year but
said that the number was expected to
total almost as many as last. Last
year 183,567 small game resident Ii
censes were sold and 259 nonresident
licenses.
The season on squirrels opened yes
terday and continues to Jan 1. The
season on pheasants opens Saturday
Some of the Ely hunters expect to en-
southern part of the state.
No cartridges are to be shot this
year.
