LAW WILL DEFINE DL ENEMES Chicago to Push Measure in State Legislature in War on Crime. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 22.—Plans were under way today to make the approach- ing new year -bring new troubles to Chicago's “public enemies.” A new State law, giving a definite legal classification to “public enemy” and providing a means of putting them | h in the penitentiary, was the chject of the city’s anti-crime campaigners. A bill to be known as @gainst public enemies” will be in the House of the Illinois Legislature, which meets in two weeks, as an emer- gency measure. It would make the offense of being a “public enemy” pun- gshable as a felony and outline the fllegal acts which. would bring about the “public enemy” classificafion. ~ It being drafted by James G. Condon, rmer assistant State’s attorney, assisted by several jurists and anti- crime experts. Vagrancy Idea Widened. Offenses such as ball jumping, in- timidation of witnesses, attempted jury bribing and perjury would fall within the ;fi?buc enemy” classification under e bill. Efforts to harass “public enemies” with vagrancy prosecutions and a judi- cial controversy over the question of high bonds for such offenders attracted Condon’s attention to the anti-gangster campaign problem, he said. “I studied the vagrancy law,” he added, “and discovered that the term was derived from the Latin word ‘vaga- bundus,’ a stroller. The law originally was applied in early times to strolling players who, being unable to pay for | lodging at the inns, were clapped into | jail as vagabonds. Aims at Arch-Criminals. “That view of the vagrancy law pre- | vails today. The jurists now on the bench conceive the vagrancy law as best | applicable to the ide” tramp who 't the money a dollar fine. | They regard it as repugnant to attempt | to apply this law to arch-criminals able to produce as high as $100,000 bail. “The problem, therefore, was to de- | vise a suitable law which would prevent these arch-criminals from thwarting | justice, simplify prosecutions and obtain gullty ‘verdicts against those deserving such.” Couages oo Post-glacial hazelnuts, indicating that Scotland was once semi-tropical, have been found in Lock Troig. THE EVENING From the Reviews and News of Ann Corlo “Dominates at the Gayety. NO matter what the show, be it good or bad, talented bcauty is always appreciated. It stands alone and ‘is dimmed very little, if any, even by a mediocre supporting cast. Ann Corio, star of the current at- traction at the Gayety offers such & personality. “Girls in Blue” is the name of the show, and it is a real holiday feast. But not without Ann. Miss Corio has the kind of voice one rarely hears on_the burlesque stage. A pretty face and a sweet voice are wellnigh irresistible to patrons of the Gayetys Miss Corio can dance also and, of course, with such a voice, she sings. In fact, Miss Corio is the embodiment of the ideals demanded of a leading lady in_a burlesque show. Hap Freyer, comedian, is in the cast, making his second appearance of the season at the Gaye! I his_first appearance Hap impressed as being good, but somehow, he fails to repeat on his sccond appearance. His comedy lacks originality and is poorly presented. Perhaps Miss Corio set a standard too high. However, Hap came in for a goodly share of the applause. Clyde Bates and Joe STAR, WASHIN( GTON, Front Row Washindton's Theaters.
