Cangsters Not Crushed

BY the Associated Press.
Robert Isham Randolph, chairman Of
Chicago's Secret Six" which Is CO.
operating with public authorities to
control organized crime, believes it will
take more than the conviction OF Al
Capone and his allies to break up the
gang racket.
In an interview. Randolph said Ca
pone'S crime ring was a real business
organization, with q board OF directors"
and that other men were ready to step
into his place.
THE convictions that have already
been secured of Capone and his agents
like Guzik and Nitti will have salu-
tary effect" Randolph said, but they
don't break up the criminal Syndicates.
"They are going to continue as long
as the big profits and the huge rewards
are to be had from violations of the
eighteenth amendment and the Vol
stead law"
Here on Business.
Randolph. in Washington on other
business, answered questions about
crime conditions readily. He was far
from the mysterious figure he might
be pictured as head of the famous
Secret Six"
The amazing story told by District
Attorney George E. c. johnson Of Chi
cago before a Senate committee about
the power of Capone and his gangster
group was described by Randolph as
splendid picture of the situation"
He said he was glad johnson had
made public the details of the agree
ment under which Capone was to plead
guilty and receive comparatively short
sentence of two and half years.
THAT has taken the curse off the
story that deal was made" he said.
There was nothing sinister about it
and heretofore it has had a sinister
aspect"
Randolph said probably if Capone
had not been "such a braggart" and
announced the terms of the agreement,
Judge James H. Wilkerson, who over
turned it and gave him IL years, would
have given it serious consideration.
Witnesses Were Hidden.
Describing the efforts of his own Or
ganization to protect witnesses and
produce evidence against gangsters,
said it had kept one of the
Capone witnesses in hiding for 18
Before the gangSters learned that he
had been found by the Government,
said, his group took the man
to hotel in another city and paid him

nually. Much of this material has been
used in manufacturing insulating
building material. Other quantities
have been used as fuel in the mills.
D. F. ]. Lynch and M. j. Goss of the
color and farm waste division of the
departments Bureau of Chemistry and
Soils, made the experiments with
bagasse and nitric acid.
The method, known as the nitric
acid pulping process, consists of soak
ing the raw material in a weak nitric
acid solution for several hours at a
medium temperature, then heating it
for an hour and finally washing and
boiling in dilute sodium hydroxide to
produce a soft, detachable pulp.
The process increases the potential
value Of bagasse and at the same time
offers a new and steady source of raw
material for the rayon industry. The
department regards the process as now
developed to point where commercial
interests can work out the practical
problems of manufacture.

 On Spanish Island

PALMA, Majorca, Sept. 24.-An American literary experiment be- ing carried on here, gives the Spanish island an added spotlight in artistic circles Majorca has long been favorite of painters.
 Whit Burnett and Martha Foley, American writers, are printing ev- cry two months in English a maga- zine, Story" devoted solely to short fiction. The magazine is not dedicated to any school of writing, the editors say.
 The editors show a letter from Edward J. O'Brien, of Boston and Oxford, asking permission to re- print eight stories from the maga- zines last few numbers in his 1882 anthology of notable short stories. His collection usually in- cludes 25 tales.
 The magazine was founded fir 1881 when the editors were ir Vienna, and transplanted to Palma recently when they came here te live. The current number was de layed somewhat because there art no "w's" in Spanish typecases However, the magazine is out now with imported "w's."

 WORK AS ARBITER

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 24.- Old Jeff Pfeffer's days as a big league ball player are ended ba,i some day he may be back in there showing the boys how ball games should be run.
 Old Jeff, now in his second year as an American Association um- pire, is keeping players managers and sports scribes in line nicely and they even write pieces about how good he is.
 One Louisville expert, after view ing Jeff's work in game which the locals lost, came right out and stated that Jeff was the best in the league.
 Jfeffer, a giant in stature, has been around the association sev- eral years and put in several sea- sons tossing for Toledo. When his fast one became slow and his curves didn't curve enough, he got the umpiring job.
 They write that Jeff just na- turally knows how to umpire, but the opinion prevails that his huge size is no handicap in making combatants like his decisions.
 One of the best sights of the league is Old Jeff ludicrously try ing to squeeze his six-foot, six-inch frame in behind the catcher to get some semblance of protection from foul tips and also get a good squint at the plate.

 Minnesota started cultivating pheasants for game about IT years ago, with a few dozen pairs.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-James J. Walker at the time Mayor of New York, stood in the speakers place by great banquet table, and Babe Ruth, the penitent, sat at his side.
 The season of 1925, most tor turous year of the great hitter's entire career, was over. He was well again, healed of the monu- mental "tummy ache" that had all most ended his baseball days, even his life. He had made his peace with Miller Higgins after the sem- peramental outburst following his suspension, and $5,000 fine for misconduct off the field"
 Ahead lay the rockiest of roads, the comeback trail. Not a man among the hundreds presen. knew whether the happy go-lucky play boy of the diamond had the strength of character, the resolu- tion, to turn his back on failure, the indulgence that had brought him down, and fight his way back.
 For the Kids
 Walker, brilliant orator, remark able psychologist, trained hi mightiest guns on the Bambino's bowed head. He thundered, ex- horted, pleaded. Almost as though he were alone with Ruth he made his final plea, one hand on the big fellows hunched shoulders.
 For the dirty-faced kids in the street. Babe. the kids who love you. 2. idolize you. you can't fail... :"
 The Babe lifted wet eyes that night, mumbled his thanks and went home. His course might al- ready nave been set. Perhaps nothing could have stopped his thunderous charge back to the old heights.
 Biggest Comeback Of All
 Whatever his motivating power he came back at 32 with rush no athlete in history ever has equalled. He hit .372 over the 1926 season, crashed 47 home runs, and drove the Tanks into the worlds series with the Cardinals, his seventh.
