By NOEL THORNTON

NEW YORK, June 16.-Federal and state officers, pushing their attack against gangsters, are en- Icountering changing battlefront in the ranks of racketeers.
 Not only have new leaders thrust forward to direct this criminal ele- ment in it's mulcting of billions of dollars from it's victims, but they are carrying their conspiracy to coerce" tactics into many new fields little touched heretofore.
 Began with Vote- Controlling
 According to newspaper accounts in the early part of this century, modern racketeering began with the organizing of strongarm hoodlums to control votes by threats. The same methods were used to extort bounty from the trucking industry, and during the past decade the idea flourished in illegal beer and liquor traffic.
 Liquor racketeering quickly blos- somed into a criminal dynasty of big and easy money, with gang czars in New York, Chicago and Detroit branching out their activi- ties until they became national in scope.
 Public Enemies Listed
 Three years ago the internal rev enue department took emphatic cognizance of this m ace by launching an unrelenting attack at the one weak spot of the racke- teers' armor-their habit of evad- ling income tax payments. i Lists of public enemies" were named. This barrage had it's first results in Chicago when Al and Ralph Capone and the Guzik brothers, Sam and Jack, were sent to prison.
 1 Meantime group of wholesale inter-gang murders together with subsequent convictions. broke the power of the Purple Gang which controlled the Detroit area.
 Searching for Others
 When the income tax sleuths moved into New York, they dis covered that gangster killings had eliminated several of the ones they had intended grilling. In quick succession bullets wiped out Vim lcent Baby Face" Coll, Larry Fay Jack Legs" Diamond, and Vannis Higgins.
 Now the federal investigators are making efforts to find Waxie Cor don and Dutch Schultz, both ol whom are suddenly missing from public circulation Ownie Madden Ianother on their list, is in Sing Sing
 Of the list of -'big shots" origi- Inally named by the government only William Duffy, Giro Terran, ova and George Demange, together with the missing Schultz and Cor. don, remain prominent in Nev York's area.
 Another recent addition to thess ranks is Charley Phil Rosenberg former bantamweight champion. H has just been sentenced to prisoi on charge of using racketeerint methods in the poultry markets. ; A Cleaning Racketeer Tn Chicago, the old Capone or ganization is reputed to be con trolled by Murray Humphreys, dapper young man with marcelle' hair and a power in the cleanin'

 William Three -Fingered-Jac White, who is now appealing one year prison sentence. and William "Klondike" O'Donnell, who had a disorderly conduct charge dismissed in February, are said to be two others who share Humphreys powi CT.
 These current leaders are the ones receiving especial attention from the various forces investigat- ing racketeer activities in new fields-which include milk, fish and poultry trades; cleaning, dyeing and laundry industries; Kidnapping, 1" outlaw" labor unions and abuses of the new 3.2 beer regulations.

Only Two States Have
Phosphorus in Quantity

While there are deposits OF phos-
phate rock In the West, practically all
which II used In baking powders
comes from Florida and Tennessee.
Since the early part Of the Twentieth
century natural phosphate rock has
been the principal source OF phos-
phate used for food purposes. Former
ly the rock was treated with sulphuric
acid. In which process the tribasic
phosphate was converted into free
phosphoric acid. The crude phosphor-
ic acid usually contained small guam
titles Of impurities. which had to be
completely removed before 1t could
be used for food purposes. The puri-
fed phosphoric acid was made Into
monocalcium phosphate by reaction
with calcium carbonate. 1t was then
dried In vacuum, milled to a fine gran
ulation and bolted to a uniform size.
The wet process Of producing phos-
phoric acid has to some extent been
supplanted by the volatilization proc
esses, In which phosphorus is volatil-
ized, oxidized to phosphoric anhydride
and condensed In small quantity OF
water, yielding q concentrated solu-
tion of phosphoric acid (H,POO.

ers of its full sympathy and solidar-

Elephants Big Part in
East Indian Pa1eantry

Elephant transport, slow but sure,
survives In the rough country OF Gen.
tral India and Rajputana, but Is grad
ually being discarded by Indian
princes and merchants for the faster
automobile, according to writer In
the Manchester (England) Guardian.
On the great estates Of the maharajas
the elephant carriages are retained for
state occasions, when the animal plays
a leading role In the display of Indian
pageantry. From ten to thirty ele-
plants are used at festivities Of this
kind, especially when local potentate
celebrates a birthday. The beasts are
gorgeously outfitted for such occa-
sions and painted. Their trunks, ears
and tails are covered with red, yellow
and green flowers and their foreheads
are daubed with gilt to match the
decorative coats of the howdahs and
the trappings OF the carriages.

That is the technical term for some

A promise to pay is just debt.
The measure of the value of those
securities is what can be collected on
them
Or, what somebody believes can be
collected on them.
That is not, in historical fact, what
can actually be collected.
A case in point: those South Amer

As soon as it was discovered that
nothing could be collected on them
They quit being counted as

That is the awful fact about this

Now, where do you suppose that
wealth was 'lost"2
Did we lose some land?
Were some railroads destroyed?
Does that mean cyclones or tor

Could it have been done by some
earthquakes?
Was it by the destruction of food,

NO!

ties
There has been no real loss of

1t has just suddenly been discov-
cred that some debts could not be
paid
That's all
The reason for that is just as
plain:
The debts were of such an outrage
Gus character that payment was i'm
possible
The obligations
For rent, interest and dividends had
grown 50 big
That these claims, based on "secur-

duction of the whole country.
When that was discovered

President Killed Men

President killed man" The Quizzed
one will probably try to think Of some

saying that the killing was done In
cold blood. OF course It's a catch
question.

Truths POndered While
Riding at
Anchor
Then gently scan
your brother man
BY Mr.. MOdestus

What is wealth?
The old definition was: Things that
are objects of human desire.
Basically, primarily, it starts with
land.
But many men have been "land
poor"
Next to land, it includes housing of
all sorts.
Then comes the means of produc-
ton" aside from land and its 'im-
provements"
Which would include such things
as railroads, and public utilities.
After that come commodities"
useful or desirable things which can
be exchanged in trade for other use
ful things.
Then comes money-the means of
exchange"
One estimate Of the total of this
wealth places it at an average of
$1,000 per capita for the country at
large.
But there is another form Of
wealth.
Men call it by the name Of "securi-
ties"
This has been estimated to amount
to $4,000 per family:
Which would amount to about
$1,000 per capita.
That comes to an estimated total
of about $175 billions.
This includes stocks, bonds, mort
cages, and all interest-bearing secur-
tiles.
The total wealth Of the u. S. would
include all these securities.
Plus all the physical property not
represented by the securities.
Now comes a "but"
These securities" have a curious
Every one Of them represents some
obligation.

RAIL BILL
With Six-Hour Day Out,
Adopted by Senate

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-With
a section providing for the six-hour
working day eliminated, the admins
tration's railroad bill was passed by
the senate. The bill protects the jobs
of railroad workers under proposed
consultations. This section is ex-
pected to cause opposition in the
house, where leaders hold that "econ-
mics" could not be affected unless
some railroad workers are dropped,
As passed by the senate after the
hour day amendment had been
withdrawn on announcement by Sem
ator Dill that President Roosevelt
was against it, the measure suSpends
the antitrust laws for one year and
authorizes a federal co-ordinator to
effect economies in cooperation with
three railroad regional committees by
eliminating unnecessary duplication
of services, arranging for joint use
of terminals, and trackage, taking
steps to avoid waste, and promoting
financial reorganizations to reduce
fixed charges and improve carrier
credit.
Labor Committees Set Up
The co-ordinator would see to it that
labor committees were set up for
each regional group of carriers.
These would be selected from the
regular railway labor organizations
and be consulted before any order
affecting employees was handed down.
"Yellow dog" contracts and COM
pany unions would not be recognized.
Elimination of the six-hour day
section from the measure was de-
nounced by A. F. Whitney, president
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men and chairman of the Railway
Labor Executives Association.
at appears we have a good many
people in congress who do not un-
derstand that unemployment is due
largely to the machine age" Whitney
said. "We feel that unless something
is done to reduce hours we will not
even approach prosperity"
Denounces "Subterfuge"
| He denounced as "subterfuge" the
elimination of the six-hour day Sec
tion from the railroad bill ON the
promise that it would be reintroduced
| in other form upon the reassembling
of congress in the fall.
"There is no reason why this meas
ure cannot be introduced and passed
now" he said. "It is just another
! way of sidestepping the issue. II
| there is any virtue in the measure,
why delay it? There are more men
unemployed now than there were six
months ago. If the people are con-
vinced we should have shorter hours
as a means of reducing unemploy-
ment, why procrastinate, why not
start rebuilding now? Hasn't there
been enough delay?"
Whitney charged that reorganiza-
ton as contemplated by the bill
would benefit largely the Morgan and
other big banking interests control
ling the railroads.

Cosmic RAYS

The cosmic rays Is still an orphan,
coming almost uniformly from above,
day and night alike, with no more,
most Investigators say, from the sun
and stars than from the direction of
empty" space.
Because the cosmic rays are so very
short, scientists suspect that they are
very close to the ultimate kind of radi-
alton. Discovering their source may
lead to the hoped-for mechanism
whereby men will understand how
radiation transforms itself into solid
matter and then Is rejuvenated some
how to keep the fires of creation burn
ing forever.
