By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Al Capone is going to make bid
for freedom April 25 in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals at
New Orleans.
1t was disclosed at the Department
of Justice today that Frank J. Wide
man, Assistant Attorney General,
would resist the Chicago gangster's s
latest effort to get out of the Atlanta
Penitentiary, where he is serving an
11-year sentence for income tax eva
sion.
The proceedings in New Orleans are
in the nature Of an appeal from de-
cision Of the United States District
Court of Northern Georgia, which dis
missed an application for a writ OF
habeas corpus for Capone on Decem-
Der 9, 1888.
Capone's contention at that time
was that the indictment on which
he was convicted was brought after
the expiration Of the three-year stat
ute of limitations.

JURYMEN FAVOR
LEGAL GAMBLING
Prince Georges Report Also
Asks Restoration of
Pay Cut.
BY GEORGE PORTER.

BY GEORGE PORTER.
Stan Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, April 20.
Proposed by the grand jury yesterday.
the question of licensing gambling re-
seorts in Prince Georges County
lOomed today as prospective para
mount issue in this years county elec-
ton campaign.
Public opinion is divided but the
suggestion found surprising amount
Of support among the prominent poll
ticians Of both parties.
One estimated that the county
would receive at least s50,000 a year
revenue from the resorts and termed
the suggestion the only logical solu-
tion to the gambling problem that has
caused much ill-feeling in the county
for years.
Indicating they already have given
the matter considerable thought, poll
tical leaders said only high-class
gambling resorts, able to pay heavy
license fees, should be licensed. These
1t is claimed, easily could be policed,
whereas 1t would be difficult to regu-
late small fry gambling resorts In
the back rooms Of bowling alleys or
pool parlors.
Keen Support Foreseen.
Many believed that the grand jury's
report would prove all that Is neces-
sary to encourage severa, county poll
ticians, including some who have
served in the Legislature, to openly
support the proposal which they pri-
vately have favored for years.
In addition to its sensational gam
bling proposal. the grand jury's
lengthy report covered a wide range
Of subjects. including salary cuts, po-
lice equipment and Jail conditions.
Stating they examined numerous
witnesses, including several officers,
but were unable to secure sufficient
evidence to justify any indictments
for violation of the gambling laws, the
jury pointed out that legalized gam
bling Is permitted at race tracks in
the county.
AS the profits from these tracks 90

with such conditions existing. +"
the report continued, there is very
little respect for laws prohibiting
gambling, and II the above mentioned
institutions are approved as a legiti-
mate source Of revenue for the State,
We see no reason why this revenue
producing source should not be en-
larged by including the legalizing Of
eli forms Of gambling by a license
system SO that the taxpayers of our
county may receive some of the bene-
fts from such places.
Such plan would bring all such
places under complete control of our
law officers. 1t would provide heavy
fines and long jail sentences for any
one engaging in gambling without a
license. would, in our opinion. serve
10 stop the soliciting of bets or book
making by runners engaged in
gambling. and limit all operations to
certain designated places that could
be regulated and controlled by law
officers and the courts of our county"

North bid clubs-if he held five
