GANG BULLETS KILL THREE, WOUND FOUR “Squealer” Found Slain With Eye Shot Out—Dying Victim Keeps Secrets to Himself. By the Associated Press. | NEW YORK, February 21.—Gang- | sters foll lustily to the task of rubbing out their foes today, and, when the bit- terest skirmish in months had ended, three men were dead, one was dying and three were wounded. | The lucrative “alky” racket was the | prize, police ‘were sure, for which war-| fare roared in the Hatfield House, East | Side Hotel. There Albert Wagner died | with enough lead in him to kill several men, and Harry rown, & close- | mouthed Brooklyn youth with Manhat- | tan “business interests,” was hit so badly he will probably die. H ‘Wounded Man Flees. i Police believed Abe Wagner, Albert's | brother, stopped some bullets, but he ‘wasn't there when they arrived. In the Bronx John Franzone met & “squealer’s” fate, He was found in the middle of a lonely avenue, his right eye shot out and several slugs in his back. Franzone and four other gang- sters fought police last July on Mc~ Combs Dam Bridge and a detective was killed. Franzone turned State's evi- dence and helped to send Frank Corelli to prison for 45 years. Several hours ~earlier John (Aces) Mazza, minor minion of New York's ra “ets, fell in front of an East Side cafeteria, shooting at his assailants as he died. The hall of bullets wounded | two other men. A prayer “for the| s of & happy death” was found on | azza. . Baullets for Wagner. The Hatfleld House invasion, police said, was for the yrlme purpose of end- ing the career of Abe Wagner. Only two days ago he escaped harm as eight shotguns were emptied at him in Suf- folk street. Brown, lying in agony in a hospital, refused to violate the underworld code. “If I get better I may talk,” he said. «“If 1 die there ain't no sense in it.” Police arrested him and several others as material witnesses. ACCUSED OF ROBBERY Man, 24, to Face Grand Jury as Result of Hold-Up. | Robert E. Moore, 24 years old, of 70 Rhode Island avenue, was held under $3.000 bond for the grand jury, when arraigned before Judge John P. Mc- Mahon in Police Court yesterday on a charge of robbing a grocery store of | Rewarded I MRS. ELIZABETH CASEY Of St. Paul 25 years ago played Good Samaritan to Mrs. Anthony Smith of Chicago, and for her friendly act she was bequeathed $10,000 by Mrs. Smith, who died recently. In 1905 the two were strangers abcard a traln en route to Chicago from the Twin Cities.

By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, February 21.—Elected a trustee of the Willlam Jennings Bryan University at Dayton, Tenn.,“Dr. Howard A. Kelly, one of the so-called “big four” of the Johns Hopkins Med- ical School here, said today that he be- lieves in animal evolution, with definite qualifications He holds that the lower animals have undoubtedly changed their form through the ages, but that man has been cre- ated in the image of God and that his progress had been downward and not upward. | Evolution Not Accident. Evolution to Dr. Kelly, emeritus pro- fessor of gynecology at Johns Hopkins, and one of the four original members of the faculty, is not an accident, but The William Jennings Bryan Uni- versity had its inception in the Scopes trial at Dayton, growing out of the alleged teaching of evolution in the STAR. EVOLUTION OF MAN 2 a process directed by God, the creator. | WASHINGTON, thzdlpecul creation of men,” Dr. Kelly “The cdntinuity of animal creation is easily admissible from the Bible, where we find several accounts of creation, each of which formed a direct spiritual appeal for the purpose of teaching spiritual lessons, and is in no instance an attempt to anticipate any of the dis- coveries which may be forthcoming as A‘ result of modern scientific investiga- tions. ““This is by no means an apology. On the contrary, it places the Bible on a higher spiritual level, leaving it to man to investigate and make his discoveries on the lower level which we call science. “If man is but the product of un- aided intrinsic forces of mere matter and no more, then what we call sin, which is everywhere breaking down the world today, is but an evolutionary |product and as such must go on for- ever. Sin Accounted for, “The Bible alone accounts for the origin of sin, lays bare its nature and gives up the assurance that in due time it will_utterly be done away with.” Dr. Kelly's medical reputation is in- ternational, especially as an authority on_radium. Dr. Kelly has been an outspoken ad- vocate of prohibition, spoke recently in Tavor of the Tetention of the so-called Maryland blue laws and appeared at a Established 33 Years Tennessee public: schools. Mr. Bryan, former Secretary of State, gave $50,000 | to the institution before his death, and a campaign has been in progress to raise $5,000,000. “I am a thorough-going bellever in | | Two Rooms, Kitchen and Bath Electrical Refrigeration THE ARGONNE 16th and Columbia Road Reasonable Rentals Balance " on Account Here s a fine upright piano that sold for much ‘more with this small_balance due.” The ‘amount due can be paid for on monthly installments if you desire.
