nS REL i * proof could be obtained in support THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 193T SAY CHICAGO GRAFT, 1S BARED IN LETTER FROM DEAD GANGMAN Officials Decline to Comment, Say Charges Cannot be Proved Legally Chicago, Sept. 17.—(@)—The su} posed slaying of “Mike de Pike” He: Jer, underworld figure, had .an afte: math Thursday in a letter supposedly dictated by him purporting to ex- pose police graft collections and to reveal the motive of the gangland killing of Jack Zuta. Zuta was slain about a year ago at at Wisconsin summer resort. Alphonse Capone's name was men- tioned in the letter which purported to reveal a plan of the gang chief's organization to win control of the vice, liquor, and gambling business on Chicago's west side, in which it became necessary to bring about Zuta’s death. ‘The state's attorney's office, report- ed to have received the letter, prompt- ly denied its receipt. Patrick Roche, chief investigator for the state's at- torney, said his department had never received any such letter. He admitted however, he had. been informed .of its contents many months ago and that he had investigated every alle- gation it made, but that no legal of the epistle. Mention was made in the letter of the slaying of Alfred J. Lingle, crime reporter, fatally shot a year ago last June, with an intimation that Capone antipathy was responsible for Lingle’s death. The Chicago Tribune, however, which with other Chicago newspapers, published the letter, quoted Roche as saying that the epistle “does not give anything like a motive for the Lingle murder.” “I believe I know the ‘motive for that crime,” Roche said ,“but at pres- ent it cannot be proved legally.” There was no doubt, he added, of the guilt of Leo V. Brothers of St. Louis, who was convicted and sentenc- ed to 14 years for Lingle’s death. Capone himself ridiculed the charges made in the letter. He was interviewed by the Tribune. “Have you seen the papers con- taining the Heitler letter?” he was asked. “I sure have” he replied, “I never miss. Funny isn’t it that some wise guy don’t give me the bang on the Chicago fire.” MORTICIAN TALKS 70 COSMOPOLITAN CLUB O. A.

EDITOR QUITS; RAPS FARM BOARD POLICY Says He Can no Longer Sup- port Work of National Grain Corporation ' Minneapolis, Sept. 17.—(#)—Victor editor of the official publication of the Northwest Grain association, regional cooperative, an- nounced his resignation Thursday in & letter stating that “I can no longer support the program of the federal farm board and the Farmers National Grain corporation.” The association was recently ab- sorbed by the farmers national and Johnston charged “coercive methods” potaad employed to accomplish that end, The resignation was addressed to A. L Berg, Baltic, 8. D., president of the association, which operates iny| Montana, North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. In it Johnson ~ asserted pressure was brought to bear on Berg to issue a statement recently condemning ac- tivities of northwest cooperative lead- ers who protested the farmers na- tional program of merging grain co- operative units. He asserted Berg’s statement was written by C. E. Huff, Chicago, presi- dent of farmers national, with the as- sistance of Huff’s attorney. Johnston added he believed concern expressed by Huff over the financial condition of the association “was only an ex- cuse to wreck the organization.” CORPORATION TO FIGHT CHANGE IN STATUTE Chicago, Sept. 17.—(#)—The board of directors of the Farmers’ National Grain corporation, an agency created by the federal farm board to develop ‘cooperative marketing, was on record Thursday as adopting @ resolution urging “all friends to cooperative marketing to combine their forces in Healthy Respect For Foe With the memory of last year’s bit- ter struggle fresh in their minds, the Mandan Braves will go into action against the Linton Lions Friday with a healthy respect for their adversar- ies, according to their coaches. It was a fighting Linton team which played the Braves almost off their feet in the early stages of last year's contest and came within a hair's breadth of winning. Little is known of Linton’s strength this year but the calibre of football shown by the boys from Emmons county in the last few years has made them a factor to be respected. Codch Leonard McMahon put his one common program to resist repeal or amendment of the farm marketing act.” The action was taken after William H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, said that cooperative marketing agencies estab- lished by the farm board have result- ed in saving the farmers $150,000,000 in the past 15 months.
