MANDEAD IN CAFE Second Murder in 24 Hours in Chicago Liguor War. Assailants Escape. By the Associated Proes. CHICAGO, July 24.—Aleohol gang- ster guns last night claimed their sec- ond vietim within 24 hours and the forty-second attributed to their vol- leys since January. John Conlon, 25, a reputed minor henchman of one of the gangs warring over the illicit liquor traffic, was riddled with shot- gun slugs while he sat in a crowded West Side saloon. His assallants were not seen. They slipped up to a rear door, picked out ©Conlon, shot him down and disap- veared. ‘The patrons, many of them women, dropped to the floor when the guns roared, then fled as it became quiet. Officers advanced the theory that Conlon was killed in revenge for a recent double murder credited to his allfes. There was evidence that Con- Jon may have been the chauffeur of ¥rank McErlane, bootlegger gunman, whose drinking as a prisoner is bafk of the current inquiry into conditions in the Cook County jail. Conlon was shot 24 hours after the assassination of Philllp Piazza, wealthy bootlegger and cafe owner of Chicago Heights.

Steps toward placing headstones on unmarked graves of Washington men who served in the World War and are buried in various local cemeteries huve been taken by the War Department, assisted by Willlam Franklin, adju- tant of the Vincent B.

Before the War Department can place stones on the veterans' graves, it must have accurate information re- garding the record and identification of the veterans and definite location of the graves.
