GANG OF KILLERS - SOUGHT BY POLICE [New York Officials Blame Se- ries of Deaths on Slot Machine Feud. | By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 15.—FPolice | today intensified search for a gang of killers that leaves the bodies of victims in cars parked on busy thor- | oughfares in upper Manhattan. | __The body of Mortimer Schubert, 31, Harlem gangster and former convict, with six bullet wounds, an ear cut off and burns on it, was found yesterday | at_Broadway and La Salle street. Schubert formerly was a partner in the vending machine business with Joseph Batto, whose body was found in an automobile at Fifth avenue and 107th street September 11. The next day the body of Thomas Ahern, also identified with the slot-machine busi- ness, was found in a car on East 101st street. Police Commissioner Grover A. Wha- len sald Schubert apparently had been a victim of the same feud in which the others were slain. Schubert was one of five gangsters arrested in connection with the kia- naping of Casper Holstein, wealthy colored real estate operator, last Sep- tember. They were released. He also was questioned after Batto's death. His police record lists 18 arrests ana several prison terms for larceny, bur- glary and robbery. His body was found in a car be- longing to his wife by a street cleaner after the automobile had stood parkea under the elevated structure more than five hours. Police said he had appar- ently been killed 24 hours before. DRY OFFICIAL SAYS HE IS “OSTRACISED” Women Who Serve Liquor Given Appeal to Discontinue Practice. By the Assoclated Press. ALBANY, N. Y., November 15— A slant on the life of a prohibition offi- cial was revealed to members of the New York State Federation of Wom- en's Clubs, in convention here yester- day, by Maurice Campbell, adminis- trator in New York City. “I am virtually ostracised from the homes of my many friends because I cannot visit them without embarrassing them and myself,” he said in an ad- dress during which he urged women of the State to insist on a State enforce- ment act. “Many distinguished hostesses feel socially obligated to serve bootleg liquor in their homes and, in most instances, to get it, they have to associate them- selves with criminals who only the night before may have fired a bullet into the heart of a brother human being. If women realized this, how many of them would serve liquor?” MUTINY IN JAMAICA | British Government Learns of Trou- | ble Among the Troops, but Not i Infomned of Details.
