CAPONE 7 AIKEN
To ATLANTA
PRISON
Gang Chief Delighted at Big
Send-off; Is Through"
With RaCkets.

ABOARD THE AL CA
PONE PRISON TRAIN, EN-
ROUTE TO ATLANTA, May 4
TN.S.). - Al Capone today
knows that as a man sows, so
shall he reap.
This hoodlum, whose career
of terrorism and violence has
left an indelible blot of death
and bloodshed upon American
civilization, said as he sped to-
ward the Atlanta Federal Peni-
tentiary and 10 years i'm
prisonment for income tax
fraud:
"I'm through with every kind
of racket"
He sat in a Pullman, hand
cuffed to Victor Morici, who is
being taken to Tampa on an auto
theft charge. The master mob
ster was alternately glum and
smiling, talkative and sullenly
silent.
Nine guards, all heavily armed
and of whom United States Mar
shall Henry C. w. Laubenheimer
is the chief, watched the gang
ster's every move.
A Great Send-Off
Capone still has his moments
of bravado. He had one as he
was boarding the train, while
flares were lighted by camera
men, pictures were taken by the
score. newspaper men swarmed
around the gangster and curious
spectators craned their necks for
a last glimpse Of the dethroned
king.
With a wide grin, Capone said
to Marshal Laubenheimer:
"They couldn't have given
me a grander send-Off."
On the train Capone said:
II bear no grievance against
anybody"
But his attitude belied his
words. And his next words con-
tradicted his first ones:
OPPOSES PROHIBITION
''What the HIS the use? I'm
not going to answer any such
questions as whether I think
Chicago will be better off with
out me. The newspapers won't
print the truth about me, any
way.
"PeOple say / want prohibi-
ton to remain. They're crazy.
If it was legitimate, / could do
better than I can this way. /
could handle beer without hav.
ing to pay such big money to
do it, There wouldn't have to
be any payOff, there wouldn't
be any lost trucks, and the stuff
would cost lots less than it does
now.
"But that's all past. I'm
through with every kind of
racket. / don't want to have
anything more to do with poll
ticians or racketS."

WILBUR THREAT
To GUST HIM,
REPORTED
Executive Refrains From Any
Action on Ground the Case
Is Still in the Courts

HONOLULU, 7. H., May a
I.N.S. ).-Mounting sentiment
in favor of a pardon for the
four Americans convicted of
the "honor Staying" of Joseph
Kahahawai today caused Gov.
Lawrence Judd to call a con-
ference with Attorney General
Harry Hewitt, presumably to
seek legal advice.
To incessant demands from
white civic leaders of Honolulu
has been added mainland pres
sure, including, it was reported,
a radiophone call from Secretary
Of the Interior Ray Lyman
Wilbur in Washington, D. c., to
Judd.
The Wilbur RumOr
According to one rumor, Secre-
tary Wilbur told Judd he must
pardon Mrs. Grace Hubbard For
tescue, Lieut.. Thomas H. Massie
and the two enlisted sailors or
resign his post. Judd an
11ounced:
"When this case formally
comes before me-if it ever
dOeS-then will be the time for
me to comment on it.
II would like to make it clear
that it is still in the hands of
the courts, with sentence on
the manSlaughter charges to be
passed on Friday morning."
The growing demand in Homo
lulu for pardon will be ex-
pressed tonight in an open-air
mass meeting to be held by the
Citizens Organization for Good
Government.
Newspaper Hits Bungling
Efforts of territorial officials to
silence Mrs. Anne Kluegel, mill
tant civic leader and champion
of the honor slayers," by bring
ing pressure on her husband, a
Governmentemploye evoked sharp
criticism in the legislature and
caused the Honolulu Advertiser to
comment editorially as follows:
"The authorities have again
and again bungled matters in,
dealing with the Federal au-
thOritieS. BY announcing to the
world that free speech has been
suppressed in Hawaii, the men
responsible are merely inviting
further diScredit and deeper
animOsity toward the territory
and its people"
Delay of Trial Asked
Meanwhile. plans for a speedy
prosecution of the retrial of the
four half-castes accused with
Kahahawai of the attack upon
Mrs. Thalia Massie struck a snag
when William B. Pittman, brother
of Senator Pittman of Nevada,
and one of the defense attorneys,
advised Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Harold Kay that he was un-
prepared and wished delay.

At a special meeting of the city
council Thursday night it was vot-
ed to call a special election On the
2Sth of June for the purpose of get
ting an expression of the freehold

SPIRIT OF NOTRE DAME
FOUNDED ON REALITIES

The story of "The Spirit of Not
re Dame" is ninety per cent fact,
ten per cent fiction. That is one Of
the reasons why this football pic
ture is not only true to life in its
football, but more important still,
it is the kind of picture that any
college graduate will enjoy as the
real thing.
The reason that "The Spirit Of
Notre Dame, which is playing at
the Liberty Theatre Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday got that way, is
three-fold. In the first place, it had
to satisfy the college authorities
both in story and in its finished
form before it could be released.
Second, it contained real football
players and real characters who
were working intellectually and
with devotion in their hearts 20

paths of it's campus. drank in its

CHARLIE TRACK FLIES
TO RESERVATION LAND

It's a far cry, or something like
that, from the travois to the mono
plare, but not too far for Indians
To- living to have experienced.
Perhaps Charlie Track never fol
lowed a pony-pulled travels, but
some of his Assiniboine brothers
have.
George Dewey Lowers would
probably rate as a poor navigator
if placed in charge of Red River
OK carts but he is rather handy
with a Kari-keen or a Trayelair.
Charlie needed to attend to some
allotment leasing business up north
on the reservation and Dewey was
exercising George Bairey's plane,
and offered to taxi Charlie out.
The wind was high as well as ier-
ky and changeable. Charlie was not
so keen about being "Kari"ed.
Dewey assured him it was all right.
Others might go out to oversee
their allotments in wagons pulled
by ponies, or maybe in an old al
but he, Charlie Track, had a chance
to be the first Indian to fly to his
land in modern style.
Charlie climbed into the two
abreast" cockpit and away they
scared. The air was right down
and full of holes. Dewey
says his passenger had no curiosity
at all about how the ground look
ed. He just sat rigid and crowded
to the middle like a newly yoked
steer crowds out. They landed
at Henry Lowers farm.
On the return trip Track felt
safe and at ease. And he had
gained the distinction Dewey had
promised him.

PUBLIC HEARING,
PETROLEUM RATE
MAY 81, WOLF POINT; FREIGHT
FROM OKLA. EXCESSIVE
WESTLAND co. CLAIM

The long-awaited hearing by an
examiner of the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission on the request
of the Westland Oil company for
a reduction in petroleum freight
rates from the mid-continent oil
fields has been set for May 81 at
the Sherman Hotel, Wolf Point,
according to advice received from
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion.
The hearing is in response to a
complaint filed by the W~estland
OIL company January IL, 1881. The
hearing before the examiner was
originally scheduled for April 16,
1881, but was postponed.
In its complaint to the Inter
state Commerce commission, the
Westland Oil company harges that
the freight rates on petroleum
from Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and
other states in the mid-continent
to northeastern Montana are
unjust and unreasonable and asks
that these rates be reduced.
Consumers of gasoline and other
petroleum products in this terri
tory attach special significance to
this case since it is generally con-
sidered that gasoline prices in the
northeastern part of Montana are
based upon the mid-continent re-
prices plus freight, regard
less of the origin of the gasoline
shipments to this area. 1t is as
sumed that lower freight rates
the mid-continent fields will
result in lower gasoline prices in
northeastern Montana.
The hearing at Wolf Point will
)egin at 9 a. m. May 81, but two
u three days may be consumed in
presenting evidence in the case.
Such hearings are public and those
Interested are invited to attend.

last year, and Tuesday, June IA,
was mentioned as a tentative date,
although no definite action was

SEA PLANE FLYS CROSS
COUNTRY TO THE COAST

A new sea-plane, enroute from
Detroit. piloted by Edward Smith,
a brother of Ray Smith of this
city, passed over here Wednesday
noon after circling the town once.
The pilot went through on No. 2
about a week before on his way to
Detroit. He has been flying for ID
years and is now in the govern
ment service. From Seattle he ex-
poets to take the plane to Alas
ka where he will fly it in the air
mail service - not the animal
service, as the Great Falls Trib-
une had it.
A sea-plane has pontoons under
it instead of wheels and flying it
over land is not a most comfort
able job. On his westward trip
Smith followed a route that includ-
ed as many rivers and lakes as
possible. Tuesday night he parked
his ship on the Missouri at Willis
tor.
