CICERO To WAR
/. On GANGSTERS

CICERO, Ill, April 13 G.N.SO.
Every effort to restore the town
to it's citizenry will be made, de-
clared Joseph G. Cerny, newly
elected president, today, as this
renowned Chicago suburb pre-
pared to celebrate its victory over
gangdom.
The celebration will be the in
auguration Monday of the first
Democratic administration in II
years, marking the end of a re-
gime said to have been under
domination of Al Capone.
Judging from the quiet, un-
eventful primary election yester-
day, the undesirables are already
making their exit from a town
that has been their rendezvous
for years.
1t was quite a contrast to the
town election a week ago, when,
under the protection of Chicago
police cars bristling with machine
guns, Cicero citizens swept Cerny
into office.

BILLION DOLLAR
BANK BILL D. KID

Another banking program of
vast Importance faced Congress
today with the action of the
House Banking Committee in rec
ommending passage of a bill for
guarantee of deposits in Federal
Reserve System banks.
The measure, sponsored by
Representative Steagall D) of
Alabama, chairman of the COM
mittee, contemplates establish
ment of the guaranty fund with
initial resources of a billion dol
lars.
The bill would transfer to the
guaranty fund $150,000,000 in
franchise taxes paid into the
Treasury by Federal Reserve
Banks, $150,000,000 surplus of re-
serve banks, levy a 100000, 900
annual assessment on banks and
permit borrowing of half bill
lion dollars from the Reconstruc
ton Finance Corporation.
While all banks members of
the Reserve System would be
compelled to join, non-member
State banks could join by paying
double the annual assessment on
member banks.
The measure also requires $780,
900 capital for national banks
chartered in the future and pro-
hibits member banks from pay
ing over 4 per cent interest.

that the action of the Republican

Eighteenth Amendment had been
inspired by President Hoover. or
at least had his approval.
The President and all of his

of absolute silence on the wet-dry

to answer any inquiries concern

Col. Arthur O'Brien, of Wash,

Gently resigned.
Colonel O'Brien came to Wash,

is one of the most palatial in the

He is chairman of the District

active in Democratic politics for
years.
Colonel O'Brien's election was
announced after an executive ses-
sion of the Democratic National
Committee this morning, at
which reports were received from
the minute men" who have been
conducting the party's victory
drive" for funds.

of the 1882 Democratic presiden-

Willard Hotel tonight. The candi.
date of 1928 will deliver a
speech, and if reports are true,
Cap is going to exhibit some of
the fire and vigor that charac-
terized his campaign four years
ago.
The really conspicuous absentee
from the gathering is Gov. Frank.
lin D. Roosevelt, of New York,
who now possesses more delegates,
pledged and instructed, than any
other caSSidate and whose
friends assert cant be stopped"
at the Chicago convention.
Ostensibly, Roosevelt's absence
is ascribed to pressing affairs
at Albany. Actually, according to
both his friends and his foes, the
New York governor decided to
pass up the Washington gathering
because it was felt he had moth
ing to gain by speaking from the
same banquet table with the faV'
orite sons and other candidates
for the nomination.

G.N.SJ Lieut.. Thomas A. Mas
sic today faced the third session

that has astounded his friends.
Although believed by the state
to be ready to shoulder the blame
for the honor killing" of Joseph

of attacking his wife, Lieutenant
Massie has daily become more
relaxed and cheerful as the trial

Mrs. George S. Leisure, the wives
of two of the eminent defense

Lieutenant Massie, along with
the two naval enlisted men on

faith in the ability of Darrow
to win an acquittal.

He is careful not to discuss the

Lord and Jones have likewise

'BREADL|NE REVUE
TO HELP JOBLESS
"Frolics" Composed and
Acted by Idle to Be Staged
in Chicago.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 14-The Bread
line Frolics" is the latest defiance flung
at present-day conditions by Chicagos
unemployed men.
1t is a revue, composed and acted
by jobless men living in the public
shelters, which will be presented in a
Loop theater April 25.
Theatrical men call it the worlds
oldest. 1t has no angel no produc-
ton cost, no contracts, no stars, no
salaries No one knows whether the
cast will turn up for rehearsal or
whether its prize exhibits will be on
a south-bound freight train. 1t has no
scenery, no stage manager, no book
and no profits.
On the other hand. it has a quick
succession of skits filled with biting,
Sardonic humor, some bitter and lcono-
elastic, much typical revue nonsense.
There are the usual dancers, Songsters.
jugglers and acrobats. all Of them
charity wards of the city.
Idea Conceived.
The "Breadline Frolics" grew out of
the effort Of a number of Gold Coast
society leaders, who visited the shell
ters and found some 1900 men Sit
ting about in aDathetic inactivity.
The visitors, led by Mrs. Waller Bor-
den. contributed money for a number OF
musical instruments and paid the sal
a,y of Maj. w. C. Bechtold to serve as
recreation director.
Gradually a number of entertainers
were developed. Some one wrote song,
another few lyrics; another had an
idea for comic Skit. Finally the idea
of a consecutive performance arose.
Mrs. Borden and her friends con-
tributed much encouragement, some
ideas and some influence. The theater,
dark several months, was also contri-
button. Makeup materials are home
made Costumes of the leading men
are overalls, or the other charity odds
and ends, which are their only clothes.
Scenery Just Brick.
The scenery is the drab brick pile
which forms the rear wall of the thea
ter, typical of the barn-like effect pro-
duced by most of the structures used as
shelters
No one of the cast or other workers
will receive any money. Every dollar
paid for tickets will be turned over
to the unemployment relief fund. Every
one of the cast and executive staff, ex
cept Bechtold, is a sheltered resident,
even the publicity man, who is former
New Jersey City editor.
