JOHNSON NAMED TO
FEDERAL BENCHBY
PRESIDENT HOOVER
Man Who Put Al Capone and
Others Behind Prison Bars
Wins Promotion

Chicago, August 10.-(P,-George
E. @. Johnson, the man who was
largely instrumental in putting AL
Capone behind prison bars, has been
named by President Hoover as fed
eral judge for northern Illinois.
The appointment, announced in
Washington Tuesday, was interpret
ed by Chicago friends of the federal
district attorney as a reward for his
100 per cent record in sending gang
sters and politicians to prison for
evading their income taxes.
At the same time the president
named Assistant u. S. Attorney
Dwight H. Green to take Johnson'S
place as chief federal prosecutor in
Chicago. Both are recess appoint
ments and must be confirmed by the
senate when it meets in it's short Ses-
sion in December.
For three years Johnson, quiet,
slender little man with a shock of
unruly hair, has been a thorn in the
side of Chicago's gangland. The way
to decimate gangland's ranks, he
reasoned, was to strike at them with
the income tax, and strike he did.
Ralph Capone, brother of Scar
face Az was the first of the big
boys" to feel the full effect of the
district attorneys campaign.

Picard Finds Leak

Zurich, Switzerland, Aug. 10.-(P)-
Professor Auguste Picard, ready for
his second ascension to the stratos-
phere, located a gas leak in the Joni
cation chamber of his balloon We'd
nesday and promised to have it re-
paired by night.
The meteorological bureau advised
him, however, that storms were ap-

that Thursday probably would not
be a good day for the start. Prof.
Picard, working in the gondola of his
balloon, seemed undiscouraged by the
delay. Nine. Picard, his constant
companion, also expressed confidence
that he would succeed.

NEW TAXES
WHERE THEY HIT YOU--AND HOW

q, If hot song by some radio torch
SINGER" blows out one of your tubes,
there will be S per cent tax on a
new one.
All photograph records are subject
to the 5 per cent tax.
| Household type mechanical rS'rig-
orators (regardless of whether oper-
ated by electricity, gas or kerosene)
are taxed at S per cent of the manu.

does not apply to large commercial
refrigerators of type not used in the
household.
COT course, the owner of an electric
refrigerator also pays the per cent
tax on household electricity, contained
in another section of the tax law.
The owner of an AC radio set does
likewise. If he has a battery set and
buys new battery for the same, he
pays per cent tax on the battery
as radio accessory; though as an
auto accessory battery is taxed at
only per cent?
In some cases, the. 5 per cent tax
on radios and refrigerators is abb

there have been negotiations looking
to $3.50 payment of the tax by the

the lowest mark since the federal
government established a guage here
in 1901.
Stagnant water just q few feet
from where steamboats, once locked
so years ago was measured at less
than five feet by r. j. McClurg. U.
S. meteorologist. The lowest previ-
Gus mark was Dec. 2, 1910, the guage
showing five feet three inches.
No water has run over the Fargo
dam for two weeks.
Pioneers can not recall any lower
stage and contrast it with the ia

rose more than 40 feet above the
top Of the unofficial guage used at
that time.
From 1857, when Arson Northrup
constructed the first steamboat ever
to operate on the river, until 1886, the
river was the main highway, aside
from the famous Red River oxcart
trail, between Breckenridge and Win
njpeg. In 1886 parallel railroads
forced the steamboat companies out
of business.
For many years after that the river
remained navigable and still retains
that government designation, al

CANADA CONSIDERS
QUESTION OF giving
British PREFERENCE
Prospects Of Success For Trade
Conference Said to Lie
With Bennett

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 10.-(P)-The
prospect for broad success Of the I'M
perial trade conference lay Wednes-
day largely In the hands Of Premier
Bennett of Canada.
Upon his reply to Great Britain
which is expected before the end OF
the day, may depend the outcome OF
the effort to conclude trade agree
ment between Canada and Britain
This proposed accord has achieved a
key position in the conference work
If the accord is to 60 through, as
matters now stand, it is up to Ben
nett to make further concessions to
British industrial imports into Can
ada.
Unofficial observers, for the most
part, inclined to the belief that he
had nothing further to offer. Con-
sentative newspapers, however, in
sisted he was ready to give wider
concessions to British iron, steel, coal,
and textile products. Otherwise, they
said, Canada would be the only DOM

British preference plan.
American observers were not so
ready to Concede that Canada would
agree to tariff of 81 a ton on
anthracite coal. for instance, instead
of the 40 cents ad valorem now as.
sessed against U. S. COAL
1t was pointed out that British i'm
ports paid an average of only 1875
per cent ad valorem in duties, COM
pared with 1922 per cent by most
favored nations, while the rest of the
world, including the U. S., paid 34.7
per cent. These figures were cited
to show that Canada is now giving
the British greater preference con-
sideration than she generally con-
cedes.
The Canadians were chiefly en-
phatic about their claim that, in the
weeks the conference has been in ses-
sion. the British have not yet said
what they would be willing to give

At least, in the Gritfmen's case
yesterday it was what won two
ball games from the Chicago
White Sox. And how Manager
Johnson's team got the pitching.
In the first contest, big Fred
Marberry bobbed into the spot
light by hurting one of those
typical Marberry efforts. the re-
suit being the GriffS walked off
the field after the final out in
the ninth with a Well-earned, q
to-3 victory under their belts.
Then, in the second contest, Bill
McAfee. newly acquired pitcher,
completed things for the day by
turning in a most commendable
effort while his teammates batted
behind him to defeat the SoX
again, 3 to /.
Easy to Take
Pitching of this sort is easy to
take, there's no doubt about that.
Yesterday it came at a time when
the Griffs needed it most, be-
cause of the manipulation Man
ager johnson had to plan before
time to take care Of today's
double header with the Cleveland
Indians.
1t looked for a short while yes
terday that Marberry's efforts
were not going to be successful
because the Sox jumped on his
offerings for three runs in the
first two innings. But Fred
found himself after the second
frame and proceeded to hurl
scoreless ball during the remain
der of the way. All told he
gave up six hits and four of
these were in the mentioned SoX
scoring frames-the first and
second.
Marberry's showing strength
ems the contention that maybe
he's come around at last to the
fettle that was once his last
year. At any rate he's deserved
future starting chances by his
work. In 1881 he won Is games
while losing only four.
Bill Looked Good
In reference to McAfee, this
hurlers work can be truly put
down as a revelation. Hardly fig
ured to do anything sensational
because of his lack of experience,
the big pitcher was as cool as a
cucumber in that box yesterday
and turned in an excellent effort,
even though it was not of the
sensational variety.
Yes, they say it's pitching that
wins ball games for any team.
Marberry and McAfee demon
strated this yesterday, and by
their combined efforts kept the
Griffs' heads above water for
this current home stand and en-
abled them to make a clean
sweep of the series with the
White Sox in the four games
played.

NEWPORT, R. l.. Aug. 90
With remarkable ease, H. Ellis
worth Vines, jr., of Pasadena,
Calf. national singles and
Wimbledon singles champion, TO-
day successfully defended his
Casino Bowl invitation tennis
singles crown.
In straight sets, that required
only 10 minutes to complete.
Vines defeated his Davis Cup
teammate, Wilmer Allison. of
Austin, Tex, "a, 6-3, 6-3.
BY virtue of his victory-the
only straight-set victory he has
won during the week of blasting
opposition from his path, Vines
won his second leg or the historic
bowl. Last year it was Allison
who was in the titular bracket
with Vines.
Vines in Control
Vines was in complete control
of the match at all times. ana
forced the play throughout. A
good indication was given by the
fact that Vines collected total
of 80 placements, while Allison
had but six.
The victory bode we'll for TIVE
lanky Californian, for it proved
that he was at the peak of his
form with the national doubles
and national singles looming
ahead.
