Although airline fares were IN
creased by domestic lines 10 per
cent on April 1. it still costs the
air traveller less to hy today than It
did In prcwar days, according to q
rate study by the transcontinental
division of TWA.
Using 194l fares as an index Of
100, the study showed costs range
from an index Of u to 97 on vari-
Gus routes Of the line.
Lifting Of the Is per cent tar on
foreign travel has accented the
discomfort over retention Of the
levy on domestic vacationers. The
Oncers' Committee Of the National
Association Of Travel Ofhcials re-
Gently called for early elimination
OF the tax on transportation within
the United States, holding it dis
criminatory."
Unanimously adopting o resolu-
ton, the committee contended that
many considerations which led to
the wartime imposition OF the excise
tax on travel no longer exist; that
1t Is an unwarranted burden on
many who are required to travel;
that transportation and hotel space
has eased, and that recreational
travel Is great source Of employ
ment and consistently large
consumer OF durable goods

wv HEN Col. Mccormick called for
w vengeance and offered a $4,000
reward, he got more than he had bargained
for.
The investigation revealed that Lingle
was a close associate of Colosimo, Torrio
and Capone. Lingle was also very init
mate with Police Commissioner William
Russell, who had been hand-picked by Col.
Mccormick.
After his death, it was proven that Nc
Cormick's man-the SOS week reporter"
had an income of at least 100000 year,
drove about in limousine with private
chauffeur, plunged heavily on the stock
market, bet on the horses to the extent of
$1,000 a race, maintained a sumptuous
suite at the Stevens Hotel and an $4,000
summer home at Long Beach.
Lingle was the link between the Tribune,
gangland, and the Chicago police. BY

n 0 those who know the UNDER
I world, the Chicago Tribune is
always "Capone's paper"
And there is evidence to prove
that Al Capone, and the era of vice
and violence he represents, were
spawned by Col. Robert r. McCor-
mick's paper.
The story begins in 1911. the year the
Colonel assumed control of the Tribune
And Chapter One tells why the Tribune
circulation grew from 188,81S daily in 1910
to close to half million by 1918.
IN 1911. war broke out between the
rival Hearst papers. It was an armed,
bloody, war of annihilation won by the
Tribune because its gunner were more
deadly.
To command its gangsters, the Tribune
outbid Hearst. for the services of the
Annenberg brothers, Max and Moe. They
came to work for $4,000 year, break
ing contract with Hearst, who sued them.
However, the court held the contract void
commit illegal acts.
The Annebergs brought with them
crew of the most notorious murderers and
desperadoes in Chicago In the main, they
We're recruited from the gangs of big Jim"
Co1osimo, vice lord, and Johnny Torrio,
his successor, who later imported AL
Capone to Chicago.
THE murderous Hearst gang included
such killers as Frank McErlane, who was
credited with IS homicides, the Gentle
man brothers. and Dion O'Banion. later
to become Capone's arch-enemy and beer
lord of the North Side.
Max Annerberg testified that among
these on the Tribune's "wrecking crew"
were Messy Enright and Waller Stevens
and some 80 similar characters.
Enright, self-confesed killer, was him.
self murdered in February, 1920 by Sunny
Jim Cosmano, a Blackhander and gunman.
STEVENS. who was known as "the
dean of Chicago gunner" was connected
with dozen murders, but never punished
for any crime. He and Enright operated
with the shield of Tribune political influ-
ence and were defended by the Tribune's
best legal talent.
Both Stevens and McErlane later became
chief killers for the Torrio-Capone mob.
When Messy Enright killed Dutch"
Gentleman, a Hearst hireling, in State
Street saloon, he confessed but went free
And when Stevens shot down Peter Gen
tleman, he was pardoned by Gov. Len
Small.

were carried on in broad daylight between
truck1oads of Hearst and Mccormick thugs.
Newsboys were terrorized and murdered
by the rival gangs On August %. 1911,
a newsboy at Chicago and Robey Oamem
named Charles Gallanty refused to take
80 additional Tribunes from the driver.
Bob Holbrook of the Tribune set upon him
and slugged him mercilessly. When spec
tators gathered, Holbrook tried to- drag
him into an alley to finish the job.
The boy chung to post and the thug
then kicked him in the head until he was
unconscious.

the period when Chicago became world
notorious for crime.
The Annenbergs, retaining the alliance
with Capone, became rich and powerful
in the racing information business.
The Enrights and Stevens became part
of the Capone mob and helped to build it
into the fabulous vice empire that ruled
the city for two decades.
O'Banion remained on the Hearst pay
roll but he went on to become Capone's
most powerful rival in the liquor running
racket until he was shot down in his own
North Side flower shop on November 10,
1924.

ON JULY 81. 1911. before a Senate in
vestigating committee, James Kelley, pub
Usher of the Tribune, testified that "a
man was beaten up, thrown down an
elevator shaft Tin the Tribune building"
Some of the pressroom men picked up
the man and took him TO wash basin
and started to wash the blood off him. -
Kelley declared. "and then the fellow who
was after him came down after him with
a gun and shot him."
The killer was member of the Trib-
une circulation department, Kelley stated.
But he was never brought to trial.
Max Annenberg was himself involved in
several of the murders, but again the Trib-
une lawyers prevented his being sent to
the chair.

COL. MCCORMICK testified that "27

BUT O'Banion was succeeded by Jack
Zuta and George Bugs Moran, who car
ried on the bitter struggle of the North
Side gang against Capone that led to the
ST. Valentines Day Massacre of 1929 and
some 5000 homicides in a ten-year period
of gang warfare.
