clares Prof. Mabel Carney of the

in Southern States.
Prof. Carney said the educa-
tional opportunity of colored

year was $87.22 per child, she
pointed out. The average ex,
penditure per white child enrolled
in the Southern States for the
same year was $44.31 as compared
to figures of $12.57 for the Negro
child. The survey showed that
the rate of illiteracy of the colored
population was 1853, as compared
with is for native born whites.

"There is painful evidence

, CHICAGO, Aug. % G.N.SO.-
.Gangster guns bark less frequently
these days in Chicago, where a
winning fight is being staged
against the gunman and the
racketeer.
Mob violence is on the decrease.
The murder rate is declining. The
-"muscle man" is disappearing.
Helping Factors
Six of the factors which have
brought this about are:
Legalization of 80 beer.
Relaxation of Government
regulations on drug store liquor.
Federal income tax activity.
The breaking up of the AL Ca
pone organization.
Speedier handling Of gangster
cases in the courts.
Vigilance of an aroused and
crusading press.
Chicago'S murder rate in 1882
showed a decline for the third
consecutive year, according to fig
ures made public this week by
Frederick Rex, municipal refer
ence librarian. The number of
murders in each of these three
years was as follows: 1880, $50;
1881, 344; 1882, 328.
Booze On Side
Many Of the former gun toters,
beer runners and muscle men have
gone partly legitimate" since the
legalization of beer. That Is, they
have gone into the beer business,
and at the same time sell booze to
the speakeasies on the side.

squads cruising through the down

hours to see if the coast is clear

Gangsters still left in the booze
racket experience little trouble
with prohibition agents. It Is now
fairly easy to deliver liquor in
broad daylight while they are max
ing their beer deliveries.
The beer and booze sellers are
TOO busy with their semi-legitimate
trade to fight each other as they
used to. Their profits from their
liquor sideline adds greatly to
their revenue, and the old danger

Once Prominent Broker
Accepts 81 a Day Job

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. %.
Malcom Macleod, 56, former So
cially prominent Philadelphia
stock broker, has started work
as clerk in a resort hotel. He
will receive $50 month and his
board and room.
Of the $50, Mr.. Macleod
voluntarily will give $40 each
month to his estranged wife,
Mrs. Gertrude Epperson Boas
Macleod. Judge Corio, of Do
mestic Relations Court, consented
to the arrangement, in confer
ence with Mr.. MacLeod's attor-
ney, Frank S. Farley. The judge
therefore will not issue an Of
ficial order of support.
This denouement gave Mr..
Macleod and Mr.. Farley the
final smile in the battle with Mrs.
Macleod and her counsel, Will
liam Charlton.
At hearing before Judge
Corio on Friday Mrs. Macleod
testified she had found her
husband one job at 81 a day,
(which he refused" and had
volunteered to find others. Mr..
Charlton insisted Mr.. Macleod
did not want to labor, and
offered to put this man to work
at the Hotel Ludy today If he
is sincere" Mr.. Charlton is re-
clever for the Ludy.
Mr.. Macleod and Mr.. Farley
went direct from the courtroom
to the Ludy. Mr.. Charlton said
the position was washing dishes
for $50 a month, with room and
board in the servants quarters,
and was rejected. Mr.. Farley
The Washington times., 1933-08-22

said the other hotel not only
pays $50 and room for clerking
service, but provided meals in
the same dining room with the
guests, and better quarters. The
name of the hotel was withheld
both by Judge Corio and by Mr..
Farley.
Mrs. Macleod not only sued
for support after the separation
last month, but filed two assault
and-battery charges against her
husband.

YOUNG CLER|CS
LACK JOBS

BALTIMORE, May 24.-Depres-
sion has resulted in a lack Of
pastorates for eight of the 10
young men who are now com
pleting their theological studies
in the seminary Of the Maryland
Synod of the United Lutheran
Church.
This lack is due to retrench-
ment in both the mission and
home fields, it was said, and also
to the fact that more and more
young men are entering the semi
nary, while the older men are
not retiring but are remaining
active in church work.
Only one of the 10 students
has received a definite call. He
is the Rev. j. Hess Belt, who will
go to Grace Lutheran Church at
Westminster, Md. There may
be a vacancy for one other mem
ber of the class, it was said. The
others will be licensed to carry
on clerical duties.
