CRIME DOESN'T

T0UHYS'

CHICAGO, Jan. 3 uN.S)
Terrible Tommy" Touhy, last Of
O ruthless mob, who was cap
tured yesterday as he lay in bed,
was claimed by two States today.
While preparations were being
made for his removal to st. Paul
for trial on a Federal warrant
charging mail robbery, Sacra-
mento, Cal, put in a bid for the
emaciated, tubercular brother OF
Roger Touhy.
Chicago authorities received
word from United States District
Attorney H. H. McPike at San
Francisco that Tommy is believed
to have been the Joe Doe
named in a 1888 Indictment Tor
the 5000 900 robbery Of the Sacra'
mento post office.
The indictment in Minnesota
charges Tommy with partlclpa-
ton in a $78,417 mail robbery,
and it appeared likely he would
be taken there for trial.
"It's a hell of an end to q
family, isn't IT."
This was the bitter comment OF
Tommy Touhy today. ~.
It was interpreted as a taclt
admission that he has little nope
Of beating the rap" -,
And it was also an Illuminating
commentary on the death Of the
''terrible TouhyS."
Tommy had five brothers:
Brother James was slain az
tempting a holdup in 1917.
Brother John was shot to
death in a battle with Capone
gunner in 1927.
Brother Joseph was killed IN
n roadhouse brawl in 1929.
Brother Edward disappeared,
Is thought to have suffered the
fate of gangland'S victims
"taken for o ride" and dumped
in a pit Of quicklime.
Brother Roger is serving a 49,
year term in Joliet Penitentiary
for the $4,000 kidnapping Of
"Jake the Barber" Factor. Once
the brains and the guiding
spirit of the outlaw clan, he is
reported near a mental crack
up.
And now Tommy must face the
relentless justice that smashed
the Terrible Touhys'" reign OF
terror.

Piles Go Quick
 Without Galues nr Gi1ffinr

Thousands of sufferers from itch- ing, bleeding or protruding piles have learned that quick and lasting relief can be accomplished with an internal medicine. Neither salves nor cutting remove the cause.
 Bad circulation of the blood in the lower bowel causes piles. The veins are habby, the bowel walls weak-the parts lifeless. To end Piles an internal medicine should be used to stimulate the circulation. and restore the affected parts.
 Dr. J. s. Leonhardt was the first to discover a real internal Pile remedy. He called his prescription HEM -ROID, and prescribed 1t for hundreds of patients with mar Nelous record of success and then decided every Pile Sufferer should he able to get HEM-ROID tablets fraR their own druggist with a rigid money back guarantee.
 So why waste time on external remedies or worry about an opera lion when Apothecaries Hall Co. says "No matter what kind of Piles you have, one bottle of HEM-ROID tablets must show you tho safe clean way to get rid of your Pile especially since the price abroad IS misery or money back"

 JekyII, Hyde Life
 The Dr. Jekyll and Mir. Hyde con- flict between the sex-obsessed char acter Fiorenza painted for himself in his confession, and the esteem in which his friends held him was baf- fling to police psychiatrists.
 Murmuring "Oh, Christ! Oh, Christi" in tortured tones, the youth told police and the prosecutors who planned to send him to death that he attacked Mrs. Titterton, 10 years his senior, because "she was exquis- ite-I couldn't help myself"
 There was no better clue to what caused him to do it. He began a record of trouble with the police by stealing a bicycle when 12, and he had served term for larceny in the Elmira reformatory, but he never before had betrayed publicly the evil quirk that women, he said aroused in his mind.

 "A little trouble sometimes, oh, yesI" sobbed his mother, but he was a good boy
 But neighbors of the Fiorenzas, with a new viewpoint from which to remember recent visits to their neighborhood of a man who an- noyed women IT. their homes and on the streets, thought otherwise.
 Answers Description
 Fiorenza answered the descrip- tions of the young man who stopped deaf-mute Florence Brown, 2l, on a street block from Fiorenza's home and at gun point forced her to walk up a dark stair to the roof of an apartment building. There he stripped her with the frenzied force with which Fiorenza disrobed Mrs. Titterton.
 Neighbors recalled a man who frightened Mrs. Julie Sussman by peering into her ground floor apart ment in the same block, and annoy ed women in another building near by until they summoned police. The

 Fiorenza abandoned protestations of innocence when confronted with the l3-inch plece of upholstered twine which he used to bind Mrs. Titterton and which detectives traced from a Pennsylvania factory to a wholesaler, to Jobber, and then to the shop of Fiorenza's em- ployer, Theodore Krueger, uphol- sterer.

Palornba Faces Fight

Friends Anticipate Opposition Chairman Seeks An- other Term, Confident of SucceSs-COup Predicted

Republican Town Chairman F. w. Palomba faces possible opposition in his quest for the position of head of the g. o. p. town committee for the 1936-1937 period. The new commit tee, elected in Monday nights pri- maries, meets this evening to elect chairman for the coming two years.
 Reliable reports current today were to the effect that certain lead CTS of the party, among them Attor- ney w. J. Larkin, Jr., and Attorney T. E. Conway, are planning coup Tor tonight'S session which will re- suit in either Vernon Hall, Major John M. Burrall or Attorney J. War ren Upson being named chairman in Attorney Palombas place.
 Denies Retirement
 Chairman Palomba emphatically denied today when interviewed that he was contemplating retiring from the post at the head of the town committee. Rumors that he was planning to resign in favor of Hall, Dh loA VI OpoOll AldtC bCCA Iul CllO in the city for the past twenty-four hours.
 "These rumors are entirely ln- founded" asserted Attorney Palom- ba today. T do not plan to resign and do not intend to yield to any body else. There is no reason for such rumors. I am interested in the chairmanship and will seek re-elec- ton.
 Attorney Palomba's sweeping vic- tory in Monday nights primary bat tie in the first and second wards was pointed to today by his supporters as sufficient to warrant his re-elec- tion as chairman of the town com- mittee. His record in the last city election in reducing the democratic

 Strategy Suspected
 It is understood that the Larkin- Conway group has played along with Chairman Palomba, seeking to hold his cooperation until the primaries were over. Now that they are over 1t is alleged Attorneys Larkin and Conway plan to attempt tonight to gain control of the town committee, a position they lost two years ago. Backers of Chairman Palomba are prepared to back him to the limit at tonight's sess:on. The commit tee will meet in the law of11ces of Attorney Palomba.

SPORT SLAMS

Arky Vaughn did pretty good job of spread -eagling the rest of the field in winning the National League batting Championship last season His mark of 1885 was not close to the record average but in compari- son to the marks of other sharp shooters of the senior circuit it was mighty good
 For the greater part of the sea son Arky's average lowered around the 400 mark to make it look like runaway race, and even a string of bad breaks late in the season could not haul him back to the pack.
 Vaughn's rise to the top was sud- den and at the same time based on sound hitting form. Arky is a hard, deliberate swinger He looks over every pitch carefully. He has made thorough study of his own particular form as well as the lead
 ng hitters in the game.
 Careful About Stance
 An example of how well he has it all figured out is well illustrated Oy the manner in which he takes his yposition in the batter's box. He carefully selects the spot to place his left foot in the extreme back edge of the batters' box, and then digs in. Often he is dangerously close to the outer edge and draws complaint from the opposing catcher. Many times the umpire has been called in to settle the dis pute, but Arky rarely gives ground.
 The veteran Hans Wagner, now coach on the Pirate staff, is cred tied with polishing off few rough spots in Vaughn's style and mak- ing him the perfect hitter" He taught his protege the secret of place hitting, an art which Arky quickly learned and which was re- sponsible for the rapid rise of his average.
 Until some of the other National League sluggers master the fine art of placing their punches Vaughan is likely to remain at the head of the parade. Fellows like Medwick of the Cardinals. a powerful bat ter whose weakness seems to be go- ing after bad pitches, and bleak Hank Leiber, the Giants slashing hitter, have the equipment to chal- lenge Arky's reign but until they concentrate little more on hitting safely instead of knocking the cov- CT off the ball with every swing, the Pirate shortstop has no great cause for alarm.
 Medwick Puzzles Fieiders
 Medwick hit 353 last season, and because Of his penchant for going after all sorts of pitches is one of
