that the list of missing was COM

The storm, bringing relief to a
sweltering community but peril to
those caught on the lake, descended

boats dotting the water pulled fran

which were six feet high.
The small lake-known as Pontiac
lake-is seven miles west of here

Before sheets of rain and hail shut
out the scene from witnesses on

one boat. The screams of the
drowning rose above the bowling OF
the wind.
When it was over, two boats were
found battered to pieces against the
dam which widens the Huron River
into the lake, three quarters of a
mile long and half mile wide. A
dozen or more boats were beached
and others were floating in the

CAPONE'S SHADOW

Political Influence From
Chicago Jail.

CHICAGO, April 5.-"Scarface AL"
Capone is in jail, but the city that
breathed with relief at its riddance
when his 11-year sentence was pro-
nounced, once more finds itself en-
broiled in as bitter a political strife as
1t ever was in the gang lords heydey.
The figure of the overload of crime.
it is charged, has risen from within the
walls of Cook County Jail where he Is
confined to blight the hope of a peace
ful primary election a week from today
with terrorism and violence of old.
Rumors that Capone was trying to
strengthen his political influence to es-
cape serving all or most of his sentence
for income tax evasion have been
vaguely heard for some time, but now
they have como out into the open.
Grand Jury Probe Ordered.
A special grand jury investigation
was ordered yesterday by Circuit
Judge Michael Feinberg, himself a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for State attorney, to determine to what
extent, if any, Capone and his hood
lums are employing terrorist tactics to
force unfavorable candidates to with
draw and control the primary.
And from a prominent civic worker.
President Fred w. Sargent of the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railroad, came
statement that Capone has a candi-
date for ward committeeman in the pri-
mary in every ward of Chicago.
"Capone," Sargent said, has so
gained control of law enforcement in
Cook County that government is break
ing down." Capone derives his power,
he declared, from revenues that 10000
saloons and 1000 gambling houses
bring him.
Threats Are Revealed.
Candidates for ward committeeman
have withdrawn hurriedly in recent
days and told of being threatened A
precinct captain who refused to stop
working for certain candidate was
shot to death last Sunday, and others
have been beaten and fired upon.
The special grand jury inquiry was
prompted by request of two residents
of the fashionable Gold Coast colony,
one of them running for ward COM
mitteeman. They cited II alleged acts
Of prediction violence, and charged
Capone with trying to coerce the elec-
tion of committeeman to work for his
pardon.

RICHMOND, Va, April 5.-A handful
of the Old Guard broke away from the
Progressives at the third district Re
publican convention held here yesterday
afternoon, following a stormy scene.
with the result that each faction held
a convention of its own. Both in
structed their delegates to vote for Col.
Henry w Anderson for national COM
mitteeman to succeed C. Bascom Slemp
and the Progressives nominated j. D.
Peake as a congressional candidate to
oppose Representative Andrew j. Mon
tague
Col Anderson, in an address, cor
rected what he said seemed to be an
impression that he had been defeated
by the Crupper forces at the State con-
vention at Roanoke. He said that the
convention had merely decided not to
instruct the delegates in the choice OF
national committeeman. He did not
concede this to mean victory for
Crupper. He said that he and Mr..
Crupper were now better friends than
ever and thoroughly understood each
other. Referring to the controversy in
the third district over the representa-
ton, which had just caused the con-
Vention to split, he said that he would
stand up for the right of vote If the
fight had to be carried before the
national convention at Chicago.

Formal warning from Attorney General
Thomas E. Knight, jr., that they will
face contempt citations If any more
coercive kilograms are delivered to the
Alabama Supreme Court was received
today by managers of telegraph COM
panies operating here.
The managers were notified verbally
yesterday Of the attorney generals de-
cision to protect the court from con-
tinuation of a recent series of tele-
graphic protests in connection with GER
tain cases now under advisement. The
notice was confirmed in letter.
The case which has been the subject
of criticism in most of the kilograms
is that of seven young Negroes SEN
fenced to death at Scottsboro, Ala, for
attacking two white girls in March,
1881 Although this case was not men
toned in the attorney generals letter,
he indicated it was the one he had in
mind in issuing the warning.

II take the position that the delivery
of such messages to any court consti-
tutes a contempt of the highest char
acter. These messages were
sent for the purpose Of obstructing the
due administration of justice"
The letter closed with the statement
that if any more kilograms of the same

so deep a hole, and then you might
have heard less of this demand to soak

when a House that wanted to soak the
rich had to define a rich man as one

Then you blame Mr.. Mellon for our

porter.
Plenty of people do" Mr.. Gloom

Der that in the fat years Mr.. Mellon
was criticized for payin' off the national
debt too fast and not reducin' taxes
still further. And I wonder how much
we'll hear, in Congress or out of it,
about soakin' the rich if a time ever
comes back when everybody thinks he's
goin' to get rich out of a rising stock
