Gang leaders can be eliminated “if | real purpose,” Attorney General Mitch- | ell declared yesterday in referring to the Government's success in its cam- paign against Al Capcne, Thicago un- | derworld head. The Attorney General said the Justice Department intended to “hit out at the gangstep problem wherever it becomes particularly cbnoxious,” but that the | department was not now planning any | Nation-wide drive throughout the United States. From other Government agencies, word has come during the past week that gangster aci'vities would be in- vestigited not only in New York, but also in such cities as Philadelphia, NATION-WIDE DRIVE | | you have honest men on the jcb and a & THE EVENING .STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Attarney General Mitchell was re- luctant to comment on the' Federal anti-gangster drive now in progress in New York beyond saying that Justice Department agents were at work there. “There are certain things that Fed. eral agents can and will do regularly, Mr. Mitchell said, “but in the last analysis it is a local problem. It is true, however, that by such work as was done in Chicago we hope to inspire lo- cal authorities.” At the same time indlcation that Capone’s pleas of guilty will not end the Federal drive against the, Chicago underworld was given by the “Attorney General. It was intimated further that a substantial force might remain at work there. Asked if Willlam J. Froelich, & spe- clal assistant to the Attorney General who acted as ‘“co-ordinator” in Chi- cago, might assume similar dutles in New York, Mr. Mitchell sald he believed Froelich’s services would be required in Chicago for some time. It was his understanding, he said, that United States Attorney E. Q. Johnson, whose office was the brain center of the chlmcl 0, drive, had asked that Froelich remain. TORRIO SUCCEEDS CAPONE. Gangster Who Brought Alphonse to Chicago Reported in Charge. CHICAGO, June 19 (#)—Today's Herald and Examiner said Johnny “the Immune” Torrio has succeeded Al- phonse Capone. ‘The proclamation that Torrio had in- vested himself with the ducal robes of gangland leadership, the newspaper sald, was posted last night in the haunts of the half-world. Rumors have been persistent for weeks that the protegé of “Big Jim” Colosimo had abandoned his Florida es- tate to intervene once more in under- world activities, - Bullets from George “Bugs” Moran gang guns hastened Torrio's decision ceveral years ago to quit Chicago’s gang warfare, Twice before attempts on his life were unsuccessful. Thus he gained the sobriquet of “the Immune.” It was Torrio who brought Capone West from Brooklyn a decade ago to maneg> Colosimo’s Twenty-second street vice district. And when Torrio abdi- cated, Capone climbed onto the throne. The newspaper said it was Torrio who ordered Capone to “take the rap” again him and plead guilty to the Gov- ernment’s indictments charging liquor law and income tax violations. On this plea Capone will be sen- tenced June 30. United States District Attorney George E. Q. Johnson, the director of the drive against Capone, has already made ready to war on Torrio. ‘While Johnson refused to comment last night on rumors of ‘Torrio’s re- turn, the district attorney said yester- day the Government has made its plan for the offensive against Capone’s successor. The Daily News said today that Jack Guzik, No. 2 man in the Capone syndi- cate, had taken al charge of the gambling privileges in the suburban areas and - °s running the outlying roadside inn-. Whereas “Scarface Al” Capone had apparently resigned himself to his eom- ing term in a Federal penitentiary and was easing out of the control of the syndicate, the News said Guazlk, who is under five-year sentence for income tax evasion, was not fretting, but was “making hay before the sun starts shining through penitentiary bars.” Guzik had sent around word, sald the News, that he “the man to be seen” frcm now on, that the road houses could “open up now” on gam- bling, with the syndicate furnishing everything but the road house and the road house owner getting 40 per cent of the profits. African Tribe Kills 17 on Rampage for Affront to Women White Man’s Law Inter- venes to Prevent Further Loss of Life. By the Assoclated Press, PIETERMARITZBURG, Union of South Africa, June 19.—A group of na- tive beauties of the Amabomvu tribe, who received unwelcome attent’sns from braves of the Hlongwa tribe while they were attending a wedding feast, launched a savage war which today had resulted in the death of 17 natives and wounding of 17 others. ‘The native belles were attending a wedding feast in the tribal camp of the rival Hlongwas when, in the midst of the feasting and revelry, they resented the attentions of some of the Hlongwa braves and left the party in a huff. When they returned to their homes. their own Amabomvu braves listened to their story and immediately organ- ized a ralding party, which stealthily approached the Hlongwa village and at- tacked without warning the 2,000 guests, who were danc singing at the height of the lu“t‘l'vlfl The avenging braves burned and pil- lt:n"d and speared the victims of ir ry, After & day of fear on the part of European settlers in the district, the worst of the trouble seemed to be over tonight, having died down as suddenly |as it began. The Hlongwa tribesmen, who had been scouring the forests in search of the Amabomvus, had agreed to let the white men’s law take its course. The warriors were called off, and the counter-attack on the Ama- bomvu settlements which had been planned was abandoned. Two arrests were made, and special police have been rushed to the terri- wr‘s; to round up others of the miscre- ants.
