U.5. JURY BEGING PROB OF RACKETS Investigation Launched in In- come Tax Prosecution of Gangsters. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 22.—Federal prose- cutors began telling & grand jury today of the millions of dollars gangsters have terrorized from reputable business through racketeering trade assoclations and unions. ‘The object of the evidence was prose- cution of Murray Humphreys, “public enemy No. 1,” and other gangsters for income tax evasion. Operators of a score of dry cleaning and dyeing concerns were among the witnesses summoned. The dry clean- ing business was the first industry to retain Al Capone’s gangsters to elevate prices and remove competition. Dr. B. M. Squires, forced out by gang- sters as head of the Cleaning and Dye- ing Institute, was expected to be the chief witness. Deputy United States marshals served him with a subpoena to _appear, along with about 20 others. The grand jury evidence also was ex- pected to include gangster domination of certain labor unions and of the trucking and transport agency, known as “T. N. T,” allegedly controlled by Humphrey: “Three-Fingered Jack” ‘White, “Klondike” O'Donnell and Mar- cus “Studdy” Looney. United States Attorney Dwight H. Green, active in the conviction of Al Capone and other gang leaders, assisted Special Assistant Attorney General Les- lie E. Salter, sent here from Washingten for the investigation, before the grand Jury. “REPEAL FOR REVENUE” DENOUNCED BY MBRIDE Would Be Most Colossal Loan Shark Transaction in History of America, He Declares. By the Associated Press. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., May 22.— Dr. F. Scott McBride, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, yesterday said an attempt to increase Federal revenues by repealing the eighteenth amend- ment would be “the most colossal loan shark transaction in American history.” His statement was made at a meet- ing called to celebrate the fortieth an- niversary of the founding of the league, and to oppose ratification of the repeal amendment by West Virginia, which chooses delegates to a repeal conven- tion in a special election June 27. “Economic considerations alone should condemn the prcposed bargain ‘with the brewers and distillers to trade off the eighteenth amendment for liquor revenue,” he stated. McBride's address was given at the first of a series of “Anti-Saloon L.ague fleld days” to be held on successive Sundays until the special election. INUTE YSTERY Can You.

About an hour later, desiring some in- formation, he returned to the room and found Leopold sitting in front of an open window staring at the garden, a dark, brooding scowl on his face. Re- ceiving no reply to his question Willard looked closer and—found him dead! Yes, the two men were alone in the house at the time.

N.W, ) COMPANE i | tention of Congress, with Senator Royal sentenced to the penitentidry on charggs attributed to Capone in Chicago. are making other changes in the line-up. This is the first of three articles dealing with rackets and racketeers describing some of the changes that have taken place in their ranks un- der the compulsion of law and al- tered ecomomic conditions. BY NOEL THORNTON. EW YORK (P).—Racketeers, comprising brigand organiza- tions, which extort an annual toll estimated in billions from legitimate business in this country, have fallen into sudden chaos. Frightened by sweeping attacks from Federal and State prosecutors and at- tempting to stave off bankruptcy threatened by a depression in illegal liquor traffic, gang leaders are branch- ing into new fields in a frenzied effort | to continue the flow of easy money into their pockets. Racket Leaders Changing. As the rackets change in character, so0 the racket leaders are giving way to new regimies. ‘The throne of Al Capone in Chicago is reputed to have been taken over by Murray Humphreys. With the slaying of Larry Fay and many of his cohorts the “conspiracy tw coerce” business in New York has | been carried on by younger leaders, typical of whom is former Bantam- weight Champion Charley Phil Rosen- berg. He has just received a three- year sentence for racketeering tactics in the Bronx poultry markets. Attorney General Homer S. Cum- mings has ordered an inquiry into evi- dence of racketeering in New York's fish market and trucking industries. These two businesses and the poultry and milk dealers are said to be the chief contributors to the annual bill of | more than $300,000,000 which the State | Crime Commission estimates this city | pays yearly to gangsters. Fight on in Chicago. In Chicago, State's Attorney Thomas | J. Courtney is beginning a reform 0” all “outlaw” unions in an effort to| eliminate the $180,000,000 which the | Chicago Employers’ Association esti- mates will go into the hands of gang- sters of that city this year. Federal authorities have moved in full force into New Jersey to examine evidence that many 3.2 beer breweries are controlled by “public enemies.” The situation has reached the at- S. Copeland of New York introducing a resolution before the Commerce Com- mittee to inquire into rackepeering in beer, milk and other fields, recommend- ing legislation to eradicate the evil. Detroit Inquiry Started. Detroit has an inquiry under way following reports that rum runners are trying to move in on the legal beer business, but officials report that the city is more free of gangdom influence | than it has been in six years. Detroit authorities, among whom was Prose- cutor Harry 8. Toy, gave the racketeer machine a severe setback when they obtained convictions to break up the notorious Purple Gang three years ago. Federal authorities have been and are achieving results with their four- way dttack against “public enemies” for income tax evasion, kidnaping crimes, interstate commerce violations and abuses of the 3.2 beer law. ‘The chief income of racketeers until this year was derived from illegal traf- fic in beer and spirits. The Wicker- sham report estimated that gangstps were receiving between two and tb‘e billion dollars a year from this sou’fe. Turn to Other Fields. When the depression stopped much of this illegal liquor income, there came an increase of reports of racket- eers in qther fields, such as kidnaping and extortion from industries and co- ercion of labor organizations to levy dues on individual workers. | Prosecutors found themselves against | a terrific problem in attempting to | | forestall this new and growing form |of racketeering. With their mobs of | bombers, acid tossers, strong-arm slug- | |gers and machire gunners the gang leaders employed weapons of strikes, | ycotts and violence to frighten their | victims into submission. State Attorney General John J. Ben- | nett made a public appeal for help, | saying, “If T can get the support of | victimized business men I feel perfectly sure we can end the whole business of | racketeering.” In several instances lately victims have been persuaded to come forward and give evidence. Harassed by threats and financially unable to any longer pay tribute to racketeers, their indig- nation is overcoming their fear, so that more and more they are co-operating with prosecutors. : [FOURTH PRECINCT POLICE| TO SPONSOR PLAY FRIDAY | Production Is “For Benefit of as Many Poor Families as We Can Reach.” Sponsored by fourth precinct police a musical play, “A Song in the Night* many poor families as we can reach,” today by Capt.’ Jeremiah A.

The Treasury’s Public Construction and the Agriculture Department's Bureau of Public Roads are also slated for -transfer to this same agency. Some Proposals Fought. The various recommendations sub- mitted by the President’s reorganiza- advisers have met with many tion obstacles. It is reliably reported that 0 | much pressure from lobbies represent- ing various private interests has been brought to bear against some of the proposals. In some cases, the adminis- tration is known to have revised its plans. Administrative sources said today in all probability the Federa]l Radio Com- mission, which has been slated to be- come part of the proposed transporta- tion structure, will remain on as an in- dependent agency because of pressure brought by the various broadcasting companies. Likewise, it was reliably reported, | considerable opposition has arisen_to | the proposals for transferring the De- | partment of = Agriculture’s Bureaus of Roads and Weather to the Interior and | Commerce Departments. It could not | be learned whether they had been stricken from the program. Accompanied by Budget Director | Douglas, who has been one of the President’s chief reorganization ad- visers, Mr. Roosevelt took the various recommendations submitted by his Cab- inet with him on a yacht cruise Satur- day. Final Form Drafted. On_the decks of the Sequoia, the President and Douglas drafted the final form of the reorganization program, which, it is understood, they regard as the final major step contemplated to- ward meeting the Democratic party’s platform pledge af chopping 25 per cent from Government expenditures, |and bringing the budget scales into balance. ‘Three major steps already have been taken in the direction of producing re- ductions and balancing the budget. Grants to war veterans were cut $400,- 000,000 by executive order, and Douglas | has estimated an additional $50,000,000 would be saved by using interest pay- ments on loans to veterans to provide the 1934 shsre of the adjusted compen- sation certificate maturity fund. Another $125,000,000 in savings is estimated by the administration as the result of governmental salary cuts, mak- ing close to $600,000,000 in budget re- ductions. The billion-dollar mark is expected by the President to be ap- wched as a result of the reorganiza- am. wit | | | ing upon the estimated $125,000,000 to $150,000,000 from beer revenue to pro- duce a balanced budget. More sweeping in character than the program proposed by President Hoover last year and rejected by Congress, the Democratic plan is considered by lead- ers on Capitol Hill to have more chance of adoption because of the board pro- visions of the new economy bill. -Whereas one branch of Congress could reject the Hoover set-up, disap- proval of the Roosevelt plan would re- quire a two-thirds vote of each branch, and with the heavy Democratic majori- ties this is held unlikely. Involving the laying off of thousands of Government workers throughout the country, the economy program, which is slated to become effective June 1, is to reach its hands into every governmental department. The Post Office Department is slated for a curtailment approximating $138,- 000,000. Roper has announced that he expects to spend $26,000,000 next year as compared with $43,000,000 this year. Secretary Perkins has been asked to cut $3,000,000 from the Labor Depart- ment’s $13,000,000 fund. The War De- partment is slated for a slash of $144,- 000,000, of which $90,000,000 will be tak- en from its military program and $54,- 000,000 from its rivers and harbors work. Secretary of the Navy Swanson plans to save $56,000,000 in his depart- ment's running expenses. The Justice and Interior Departments and the Ag- ficu}l}ture Department will be cut dras- cally. FACES MANY CHARGES Five Acousations Made Against Prisoner After Collision.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 22—Trial of Joseph W. Harriman, former chairman of the Harriman National Bank & Trust Co., who is charged with falsifying the accounts of the bank, was postponed for & week today as Harriman lay in a Nassau County hospital recovering from & self-inflicted wound. Counsel for Harriman offered to pro- duce him at once for trial if the prosecution desired, but the United States attorney characterized this sug- gestion as “ridiculous.” Although postponing the trial only one week, Judge Henry Goddard said the case was subject to further post- ponement, as it is intended to have it follow the inccme tax trial of Charles E.

The Mitchell jury entered the court at 9:53 am. and George Sweeney, hgtc;neu‘n former secretary, resumed the stand. Sweeney, & Government witness, was under cross-examination, and Max D. Steuer, chief counsel for Mitchell, showed him a number of checks ap- parently in connection with interest payments in 1930 on Mitchell’s loans— a little more than $6,000,000 at that :mé——frnm the firm of J. P. Morgan 0. The checks indicated that in 1930 Mrs. Mitchell was paying to Mitchell Interest on the 18,300 shares of National City Bank stock, which she had bought from him.

The day of the payment was April 1. 1930. Sweeney said tcday that on that date he did not know of the trans- action between Mitchell and his wife. Steuer read repetedly from Friday's transcript of Sweeney’s testimony, in- dicating he had known interest was due to Mitchell from his wife on April 1, 30. “Doesn’t that refresh your memory?” he asked. 5 i “Yes,” Sweeney replied after a pause. Didn’t Know of Deal. Sweeney said he did not know about the transaction until April 2, 1930. The interest payment on the stock was made by Mrs. Mitchell April 1, the check in- dicated. It appeared the witness on Friday thought he was testifying about later interest payments to Mitchell by his wife. He testified today he did not know about the transaction until April 2, when Mitchell turned over to him his letter and that of his wife. Steuer next introduced in evidence checks from Mrs. Mitchell to Mitchell, running through 1930 and 1931, which Sweeney identified as interest payments on the Morgan loan involving the 18,300 shares of National City Bank stock.

By the Assoclated Press. TOKIO, May 22.—The war office said today that reports, contained in a Rengo (Japanese) News Agency dispatch from North China, that the occupation of Peiping was imminent, lacked official confirmation. The Rengo dispatch said Maj. Gen. Heljiro Hattori, commanding the 14th Infantry Brigade, had occupied Tung- chow, 13 miles east of Peiping, Sunday night, and expected to enter the latter place today. A spokesman for the war office de- clared he belleved the Japanese Army would halt just outside the city walls to await Chinese peace overtures. Find Little Resistance. The news agency dispatch indicated that despite denials of Lieut. Gen. Kuniaki Kofso, chief of staff of Japa- nese Continental Armies, that his forces intended to occupy Peiping, Japanese columns swept on almost unresisted, ap- parently with no intention of stopping short of that ancient North China city. The 36th Infantry Brigade of Maj. Gen. Yoshiaki Takata and the forces of Gen. Hattori together occupied Sanho Sunday, and then the latter continued on and seized Tungchow, said the report. Early today two battalions of Hat- tori’s soldiers pressed on, contending for the honor of first reaching Peiping. One of the battalions was reported 3 miles northeast.of the reputed objective. Near Tientsin Also. A Rengo dispatch from Shanhaikwan said Manchurian forces of Gen. Ting Chiang had occupied Lutai, approxi- mately 40 miles northeast of Tientsin, Japanese air forces co-operating. A later Rengo dispatch by way of Mukden, Manchuria, said there was no large Japanese force west of Tungchow and it was not likely they would reach Peiping today. U. S. MISSIONARIES STAY. PEIPING, May 22 (#).— Reports reaching the United States legation stated today that Japanese cavalry patrols had penetrated within 5 miles of Tungchow, which is 13 miles east of here.- Thirty American missionaries at Tungchow were remaining at their posts, anticipating a peaceful turnover of the town today. Chinese refugees were pouring into this city today ahead of what was de- scribed in advices to the Chinese for- eign office as the slow advance of Jap- lanese troops toward this place and Tientsin. Reports from the Lwan River front declared the combined Manchukuan and Japanese forces had come within 50 miles of Tientsin, but apparently were not extending thesdrive. Japanese and Manchukuans also have entered'Chahar Province, abutting Jehol Province on the west, the Chinese claimed, and were advancing toward Kalgan. CHINESE GIVEN WARNING. CHANGCHUN, Manchuria, May 22 (#)—Belief that peace will be estab- lished soon in the North China war zone was _coupled today by Lieut. Gen. Kuniaki Koiso, chief of staff of Japa- nese continental armies, with the warn- ing that if Chinese leaders “in their folly” challenge an invasion of Peiping and Tientsin, the Japanese were fully repared. “Peaceful intentions” must be proved, the general declared, before negotia- tions for any cessation of hostilities. “If the Chinese cease menacing our present lines east and north of Peiping we will retire to the Great Wall,” he asserted. “We desire to occupy neither Peiping nor Tientsin nor a single foot of other Chinese territory. “The sole aim of our advances south of the Great Wall has been to destroy Chinese bases of attack, making further threats against the Manchukuo border impassible.” “If, in their folly, Chinese war lords challenge us to enter the Peiping and Tientsin area,” he warned, “we are fully :)repnred to face their 100,000 or more x ps.
