CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Public opin-
ion, the depression and the agen-
cies of law have decimated the Chi
cago gangs and emptied their war
chests.
Nowhere is there more grumb-
Ing and whining about how hard the
times are than wlen a group of
gang trigger men, bombers, muscle
men or gambling and vice collec-
tors get together. The shadow Of
extinction creeps over their once
rich dominion. Many of the big
names are now numbers in peni-
tentiaries. Indictments overhang
others.
From a gangster who once wore
week and rode in an expensive linn
different suit every day in the
CUISINE, the United Press got this
picture of gangdom today.

HOOVER AND
ROOSEVELT IN
CONFERENCE
Mills And Professor Moley Only
Outsiders Present AT History
Making Meeting.
ALL CONCESSIONS OPPOSED
Democratic Leaders In Senate
And House Against Granting
Delay In Payments.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-(UP)l-
President Hoover and his recent
ly elected successor sat down to-
gether in the White House late to-
day to consider the immediate fu-
ture of Europe's war debt pay
ments.
Only four persons sat in the con-
ference. President Hoover was as
sisted by Secretary of the Treas
ury Mills. President-elect Roose-
velt brought his economic adviser,
Prof. Raymond Moley of Columbia
university.
Speaker Garner, who rode from
Baltimore with the President-elect,
did not enter the red room for the
conference, White House aides said.
Shortly before the conference a
group of Democratic house and
senate leaders, at luncheon with
Bernard M. Baruch, one of Roose-
velt's financial advisers, decided to
oppose all concession in war debt
payments.
President-elect Roosevelt arrived
at the White House at 3:42 p. m.
He was met at the Union station
by White House aides and pres
idential limousine.
Entering the spacious south
grounds of the White House, from
which all spectators had been
barred, Roosevelt was driven to
the south portico.
The red room, on the first floor
OF the White House, was chosen by
Mr.. Hoover as the scene of a con-
ference which is without precedent
N American history.
Just as the conference began,
the United Press learned that It
ally has decided to make her Dec
ember Is debt payment according
to schedule A short time before
Poland had indicated she desired a
postponement the same as Great
Britain, France, Belgium and Czech
oslovakia.
Roosevelt, riding up Pennsylvan-
la avenue, over part of the route
he will follow to his inaugural next
March, was cheered by spectators.
He passed a line of Negroes
waiting for food at Salvation Army
headquarters on the lower avenue,
near where the bonus army riot
occurred last summer The Negroes
attracted by the noise of the mo-
torcycle escort, looked up but did
not leave their places in the bread
line.
Greetings Cordial
A hundred or more spectators
wandered around the driveway
leading to the front portico of the
White House, peering to catch a
glimpse of figures moving about
inside.
President Hoover and Secretary
os Treasury Mills were waiting in
the red room when the noise of
the motorcycle escort was heard
outside. Governor Roosevelt and
Professor Moley we're led in
through the ground floor and en-
tered the small family elevator
which was installed in the White
House during the illness of Wood
row Wilson.
They got out on the first floor.
Mr.. Hoover was at the door of
the red room as his successor ap-
preached. Old friends of the Will
son wartime administration, they
smiled. Mr.. Hoover extended his
hand, eyewitnesses said. They
chatted pleasantly for a few mo-
ments.
Then attaches moving about
noticed the four figures, against
the late afternoon light coming
through the windows, settled down,
in their chairs. The laughter sub
sided. One of the strategic con-
versations of history had begun.

TALK ON DIET GIVEN
 BY MRS. FOHN- HANSEN

Mrs, Lydia Fohn- Hansen spoke before the high school students and a number of mothers yesterday afternoon on the subject of correct diet. She said: We are all more or less concerned with health and diet is important in maintaining health"
 Nowadays doctors are curing al- most every disease through proper diet, explained Mrs. Fohn- Hansen. Milk is an essential food for every one and children and all up to 25 years should have quart a day. The condition of teeth indicates the condition of health and milk is the basic food for good teeth.
 Because tomatoes and oranges are rich in vitamin e, the diet should include either one or the other every day. Mrs. Fohn- Hansen said. Vegetables and fruits are al- so very important in the diet. The individual should have meat, fish or cheese four or five times week

A CORRECTION

Alaska children, who became Ter ritorial charges and were sent to institutions in the States during the past few years, were not sent to only one institution but to several. acording to United States Marshal Albert White.
 Through an article in The Elm pire, captioned Alaska Home for Children" an impression was gained that children who had been sent to the States had all gone to an Idaho institution. This is incorrect as Marshal White states, for the Pacific Protective Society, Inc, the parent institution of the Alaska childrens Home, has received some of the children in it's Washington and Oregon homes, according to Supt. J. w. Caldwell of the Alaska Home.

 Also in the Lake Tsana region he will inspect irrigation works which firm of American engin- eers are constructing for the Abys- sinian government.

NEW YORK, March 1.-An ex- hibit of white paper made from the pulp o young yellow pine by the ordinary sulphite process has brought predictions that the center of the wood pulp industry may shift from Canada and New Eng land to the south and cut the cost of newsprint two-thirds.

 These words, tinged with bitter ness. accompanied by the with drawal of her hands from his, gave Rock the cue This was his hour. His intelligence recognized 1t, but his conscience would not let him rush madly to take advantage of her weakness at this critical time.
