JEWEL TH|EF'S
WINTER HAUL
100000

MIAMI, Fla, March is G.N.S)
A career surprising even that Of
the notorious jewel thief, Arthur
Barry, was ascribed by police to-
day to Harry Sidmore, 38, of New
York, who has confessed, accord
ing to police. that he looted
wealthy Miami Beach residents
Of $50o,000 worth Of jewels this
winter.
Sidmore, who has come regu-
larly to Miami Beach for the
past II winters and lived quietly
in an exclusive residence, was at
tempted to trade" with police
for his release on his promise to
return the jewelry which he is
believed to have cached in a
safety deposit box.
Police said that Sidmore had
admitted every major jewel theft
at Miami Beach this winter, in
cluding the 100000 robbery of
Grace Moore, the opera star.
Sidmore, as quoted by police,
was debonair about his depreda-
tions. He expressed particular
concern, they said, about the
Grace Moore robbery. He said:
"Grace Moore got a tough
break, because it was intimated
that she did not really lose so
much jeweIry. l felt SO sorry
that 1 wanted to tell the news
paper, but that was not practi-
CAL"
Sidmore was arrested after two
New York detectives had worked
with local police for several
months in an effort to stem the
theft of jewels from wealthy win
ter residents.

.CAPONE HENCHMAN
GETS TAX REFUND.
$285,723 Credited to Frank
Nitto, or Nitti, Because of
Over Assessment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
One of AL Capone's henchmen, Frank
Nitto, also known as Frank Nitti, has
been given an income tax abatement
Of $285,723 by the Bureau Of Internal
Revenue.
The abatement involved an over as
sessment, of income tax penalties and
interest. which never had been paid.
The bureau summarily assessed a de-
ficiency tax and penalties against the
gangster, who recently had been re-
leased from prison, after they began
to investigate his alleged failure to
make income tax returns The Board
Of Tax Appeals, acting on an appeal
by Nitto for a redetermination held
that $244,6l8 of the amount assessed
was not justified and ordered it wiped
of the tax books.
The rest of the abatement. amount
ing to $4l los, represented portion of
interest that had been assessed on the
original deficiency which had to be
taken from the total because Of the
decrease in the original amount.
The abatement was Sl57,8 for the
deficiency assessed Nitto on his 1925
income, s66.207 on his 1925 income and
S61 1922 on his 1927 income.
While the amounts were assessed
against Nitto, they were never COL
lected, and the abatement merely acts
to wipe them off the tax books in ac-
cordance with the decision Of the board
Of tax appeals. There was nothing in
the announcement to show how much
tax and deficiency tax the Government
had collected from Nitto. ~

Gold diegers are becoming active
again in all parts of the world and
airplanes now are being used as pack
trains instead Of mules, the Commerce
Department said yesterday as a result
Of survey made by its machinery ex-
pert, w. H. Rasteu.
Because prospectors believe there was
gold In them thar hills" across a deep
jungle and three mountain peaks in
New Guinea, 4,000-ton American
made dredge was carried by plane to
the mine site, according to Rastell.
BY the use Of planes. he explained.
the mine operators were able to deliver
the machinery to the properties within
short time, escaping the dangers Of
ambush by savages and avoiding the
expense Of building q railroad into the
interior. which would have materially
decreased the net profit of the mining
enterprise.
Rastell said In Canada heavy mining
machinery and, in one instance. q
stamp mill. aggregating thousands Of
tons Of weights, were carried by plane
as far north as the Arctic Circle and
installed.

DR.. Clarence True Wilson, executive
secretary of the Methodist Board Of
Temperance, Prohibition and Public
Morals. has appealed in a letter to
ncwly-elected members of Congress mot
TO take the wrong si6e In the pending
moral crisiI' of prohibition.
An unregu,ated liquor traffic Is un-
thinkable in there days of airplanes,
cutcmobi!eS and complicated machinery
in shop, factory, streets and railroads, &"
he said. "A thoughtful legislator. even
wet. would peuse before inundating
the country with liquor Of every kind,
and make no adequate provision for its
regulation"
All Restrictions Removed.
DR.. Wilson remarked that all license
restrictions on intoxicating beverages
had been removed by passage Of the
VolStead act and repeal of that act
would not automatically re-enact those
restrictions

putting On the restrictions that 1t shall

quenting places for drinks, is to make
conditions Infinitely worse than they
were under the saloon, and the excuse
that the wet vote Is for revenue will
not be accepted by the American
people"
New members Of Congress, he said,
will vote according to their judgment
and conscience and the sentiment of
their constituency and then will take
the consequences for the balance of
their lives for what they bring on the
American people"
Predicts New Movement,
Meanwhile the forthcoming church
conference on prohibition will give birth
to dry movement fully equal to any
in the past, Deets Pickett, research sec
retary Of the Methodist Temperance
Board, predicted yesterday in letter to
Representative Rainey of Illinois.
Pickett made the forecast in asking
favorable consideration by the House OF
amendments to the Collier Blaine beer
bill by the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee. He cited especially an amend
ment offered by Senator Borah, Repub-
lican. Of Idaho, to prevent sale of beer
to minors and another restricting ad-
vertising.
II presume that there is no prospect
Of this bill becoming law as a result of
its consideration by the present ses-
sion," Pickett said, but it would be
lamentable If the Congress were to give
its sanction to the bill without these
amendments.

in gold ard currency from hiding places

for freedom under the limitations

The jurist said that contention should
have been set forth at the trial or in
the appeal from the income tax convic-
ton, but that 1t had no place in habeaS
corpus proceedings.
Capone entered the Federal Peniten-
ticry here In May last year and last
September his petiticn for habeas
corpus was filed in the local Federal
Court as surprise move. Hearing was
postponed once because Of a ccngested
docket, but on November 16, 1882. Judge
Underwood called the case for hearing.

District Attorney Dwight H. Green OF

batting Capone's bid for freedom.
Capone's attorneys in presenting his
case nkened it to that Of William Ran
dolp Scharton. Boston lawyer, whom
the United States Supreme Court freed
Of income tax charges under the statute
Of limitations.
Assistant District Attorney Lindsay
denied there was any similarity between
the Scharton and Capone cases and
moved for Q dismissal OF the habeas
corpus plea. Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Youngquist supported this conten-
tion and said the petition practically
pleads itself out Of court"
Judge Underwood took the case under
advisement and Capone. who had en-
joyed a three-hour leave of absence
from the penitentiary while the attor-
neys argued, was returned to the prison
to await the judges decision.
