CAPONE STAbBER
IN CONF F|NEMENT.
Former Texas Bank Robber
InfIicts Superficial Wound
in Back.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 24-James
c. Lucas, the Alcatraz Island convict
who stabbed AL Capone and in turn
was sent sprawling by the ex-Chicago
gang leader, was held in solitary con-
finement today while authorities took
the case under advisement.
United States District Attorney H. H.
McPike said he expected to receive a
report of the affair from James H.
Johnston, warden Of the San Fran
cisco Bay prison, but added he knew
of no plans to bring the former Texas
bank robber here for trial.
IF Capone had been killed, that
would be another matter" said Nc
Pike. I'VE would then have brought
Lucas here. for trial on murder
charge. He Is serving a 30-year term
as it is"
Capone was described by physicians
as only specifically wounded in the
back when Lucas lunged at him yes
terday with the blade of pair of scis-
sors. Doctors said the wound was
about quarter of an inch deep and
an inch long.
Warden Johnston reported Lucas felt
Capone had informed against him, and
quoted the scar-faced gangster as say
ing he had refused the Texans repeat
ed requests for financial aid.
"Capone was at werk between the
clothing room and the shower room"
said Warden Johnston. Lucas had
gone to the barber shop, adjoining. for
haircut. He grabbed up pair of
scissors and, running about 10 feet,
wounded Capone in the back"
Capone, who had his back turned
when Lucas struck, wheeled and struck
his assailant with his fist. knocking
him down.
A guard intervened before the two
could exchange more blows. Capone
walked to the hospital unaided and
Lucas was placed in solitary confine-
ment.
Various reports of ill-feeling between
Capone and other prisoners have
arisen since the uprising last January,
when about 100 Of the 259 convicts re-
fused to work and demanded additional
privileges.
Capone, serving an l1-year term for
income tax evasion. refused to partici-
pate in the three day mutiny, in
which Lucas, considered an incor-
rigible prisoner. was ringleader.
The former gang leader started serv-
ing his sentence at the Atlanta Fedora
Penitentiary but was brought here
two years ago when the Government
took over the Army disciplinary bar
racks on AlcatraZ for its hardened and
incorrigible convicts. His sentence will
not expire until May 3, 1912.

MOTHER OF PRESIDENT

plorable discrimination. That this
country might go on, refusing half
million citizens the right it gladly ex-
tends to others is an utterly Distress
ing thought and a terrible and grave
injustice to an innocent and deserving
people.
You know the solution as we'll as I.
You know clearly the only course We
can take to make the District of Co
lumbia voting part of the Govern
ment it helps to support. A constitu-
tional amendment must be promptly
adopted, empowering Congress to
grant to the residents of the District
of Columbia voting representation in
the Senate and House of Representa-
tiveS. the vote for President and Vice
President and the same right as
citizens to sue and be sued in the
courts of the United States as is
possessed by the citizens of the
States.
There is not a grain of justice in a
law that repudiates the political ideals
upon whose solid rock this great
country was founded.

quotas, and perpetuation Of our
representative form of Government.
Speaking for IS national organiza.
tions, DR.. Walter w. Vankirk, di-
rector of the National Peace Con.
ference, asked the convention to draft
platform aimed at keeping the
United States out of war. He stressed
need for effective control of the muni-
tions industry. Neutrality legislation,
he added, should make it illegal to
sell belligerents the basic the raw ma
terials Of war, as well as munitions.
The Junior Committee of the Ma
tional Economy League, claiming to
represent 29,6OO,Oo0 taxpayers and
voters under 35 years of age, asked the
party to go on record for a balanced
Federal budget.
Senator Reynolds of North Carolina
appeared to urge Endorsement of his
bill for deportation of criminal aliens.
Representative johnson of Okla
homa appeared to urge collection Of
every penny" of the war debts, while
Representative Bell of Missouri recon-
mended a plank calling for sound
old-age pensions in the largest sum
that can be paid with due regard for
our national economy"
Limits Speakers.
After hearing statements for three
hours and a half the committee unani-
mously adopted rule limiting subse-
quent speakers to two minutes each.
Frank j. Burns, assistant attorney
general of Illinois who said he spoke
only for himself, asked the convention
to refrain from going on record in
favor of any constitutional amend
ment. He said an amendment abridg-
ing the courts powers could not ha
ratified and added there was no need
for it. LET us resort to the court Of
public opinion" he urged.

for members of Congress to perform
adequately the dual function of rep
resenting their own districts that
elect them and at the same time try
to do justice to the voteless residents
of the National Capital, for whom
they must also serve as q local legis-
lature.
Asks County to Aid.
While urging the Democrats to in
dorse Washingtons request, Mrs. Nor
ton also made an earnest plea to her
listeners out in the States to, help
Washingtonians obtain the vote in
national affairs-a right they can OBJ
tain only from their voting fellow
Americans in the States.
Il am pleading for the cooperation
of the citizens of the country to take
the people of the District out of the
class of imbeciles, convicts and in
competents, and give them the same
rights and privileges as are extended
to every intelligent citizen Of our great
country" Mrs. Norton said.
Then, too, I am particularly inter-
ested in representation in the Congress
for the District, because it is absolutely
impossible for q committee in the
House or Senate to serve the people
in the District as they are entitled to
be served. We have districts that send
US to Congress to represent our own
people and they are our first considera-
ton, as they should be. added to that
We must legislate for the sec, 900 people
in the District of Columbia, who are
paying their fair share of taxes to
maintain the Government of the
United States. This is not only unfair
to the citizens of the District, but it is
unfair to us to be obliged to bear their
burden when our time should be given
to serve our own constituents. It is
absolutely un-American.
What I particularly wish to i'm
press upon the Resolutions Committee
is how you can help US to bring free
dom to the District. Our ancestors
fought for this freedom and we in the
States and Territories are enjoying it.
Do you believe we are doing eur duty
to these ancestors If we fail to do all
in our power to help the voteless peo-
pie Of the District to gain that which
is the right of every free American?
If you believe as do, won't you please
do your part to urge the States to
support national representation for the
voteless people of the District of Co.
lumbia. In their name thank you for
whatever you may do to assist US"
AS the two speakers were laying
Washington's case for political equity
before the platform builders inside the
convention hall, the Indians who came
here to stage another Boston tea party
for the District were outside the hall
spreading the national representation
plea to convention visitors on placards
attached to little bags4pf tea.
