’ RANDOLPH PREPARES FORCES FOR WAR ON CHICAGO GANGSTERS Secret Committe: s, Investiga- tions, Expected to Clean City in Six Months Chicago, Feb. 22—(7)—Col. Robert Isham Randolph, whose forebears were neighbors of George Washing- ton, today took command of possibly the most elaborate and intensive mo- bilization ever attempted by any city to rid itself of organized crime. + A “committee of 100’ composed of business and financial figures formed his staff. From its member- ship will be picked a “committee of 12” to direct expenditure of the mil- Mons of dollars being recruited for the crusade—a crusade which Col. Randolph hopes will scour the city Clean within half a year. A “secret committee of six” will function as the inne-most unit. The identity of its members is never to be revealed, and even the members will not know the identity of their fellow committeemen. “Illicit booze is responsible for the bulk of the crime today,” sald Col. Randolph who is president of the Chicago Association of Commerce. “The criminal now has thousands of dollars to offer as bulwark against punishment’ If it be shown that officers of the law are dealing with booze peddlers, we will go after them relentlessly.” “There will be no sensational round- ups, and no thundering over small fry,” said the colonel. “But we expect to end the reign of the racketeer in Chicago within six months.” The money, which has been contrib- ‘uted by Chicago business interests, will be used to employ trained investiga- tor; who will work with extreme secrecy, unknown to each other, and to Se special counsel to conduct tions. “Our witnesses will not be suscep- tible to intimidation,” said the colonel, “and we will not waste our time on inconsequential cases. A dozen of the major criminals, convicted and electrocuted, or sentenced to life, will have more effect than rounding up thousands of small actors. We pro- pose to make it dangerous to be a gangster in Chicago—dangerous and unprofitable.” BRIDEGROOM BEGINS MARRIAGE BATTLING Greeted Near Altar by Process Server, Director Attacks Alert Photographer Hollywood, Calif, Feb. 22—(#)— Fisticuffs, with the bridegroom in the leading role, featured the wedding here last night of Ethlyne Claire, screen actress and Ernest Westmore, studio make-up director.

The youthful hero is John Dewey, son of Mr. and Mrs. John, A. Dewey, 207 First avenue Northwest, and the | near-victim was Forrest Marvin, son | of W. P. Marvin, 201 Ninth avenue southwest. “Aw, shucks,” said modest young | John after the rescue, which was wit- nessed by Scores of persons, “I ain’t| got nothing to say.” Boat. Overturned ‘W. P. Marvin and his son Forrest yesterday afternoon were in a duck/ hunting boat on the lake which is dry season is the Mandan municipal golf course, in the southwestern part of the city. As their boat overturned, the sen- for Marvin, who is unable to swim, missed his son by inches when. he attempted to grab him and the strong current began carrying the two north- ward, Though the water was 15 or 16 feet deep in spots, it is said, the father and son were able to keep above water much of the time, touch- ing ground in shallow places. ‘They were carried several hundred yards in the stream to the wooden viaduct crossing the Northern Pacific tracks on Eighth avenue. Here the father was able to grasp a timber of the viaduct and was soon brought to dry ground. Dewey Lost No Time Standing on the railroad tracks about 200 yards west of the viaduct, Dewey saw the young boy struggling in the water and lost no time in en- tering the water to save him. After battling the water several minutes he reached the boy and then began the fight against the raging torrent to bring the boy out. He held the ‘smaller boy out of the water when he reached a shallow place un- til the two were rescued. Pulmotor oxygen tanks were used to revive Forrest and the boy was reported to be improving rapidly this morning. He was unconscious for almost an hour after he was rescued. Dewey is one of Mandan’s leading Boy Scouts and, outside of rescuing, his greatest hobby is collecting stamps.

Perconti hasn't telephoned 5:30 p. m. last Tuesday. He told his wife he would be home within half an hour for supper. He never arrived. Today police dragged crecks and searched the woodlands for his body. Perconti had a reputation as a “lasso” bootlegger. Police explained that a “lasso” bootlegger cultivates the confidence of another liquor deal- er, arranges a purchase from him and then leads him into a trap where the cargo of liquor is stolen by hijackers.
