CHIGAGO'S TANGLE WORE CONPLICATED Federal and Police Authorities Appear in Gonlict Chicago, March 31 (#—Chicago's millions, with their political aplomb Jjarred within the fortnight by burst- ing bombs and shotgun assassina- tions, looked today for .a possible connection between recent activities ot special prohibition agents and the torrid primary election campaign. Who's who in prohibition enforce- ment in Chicago has become for the time being a nore interesting ques- tion than which republican faction will come out in front at the April 10 voting. Shooting By Dry Agents The shooting by dry agents Thurs- day night of Willlam Beatty, muni- cipal court bailiff and worker for the layor Thompson-State's Attorney Crowe republicans, has been follow- «d by Beatty's indictment by a fed- eral grand jury on a charge of re- sisting an officer. The Beatty case has brought federal and police ay- thoritics inte apparent conflict, due to the action of the ralding agents | in preventing police from interfer- ing after Beatty had been shot dur- ing a saloon raid. Both Mayor Thompson and his volice commissioner Michael Hughes, took a stand against what they be. lirve to be high handed tactics em- ployed by the raiding federal men, Police indicated they planned to ask warrants against the federal men for shooting Beatty, who is re- covering from his wounds. The commissioner said he would see that the warrants were served, ‘‘regard- 1ss of any attempt on the part of the federal men to resist service. Mayor's Charge Mayor Thompson charged the shooting of Beatty to “the Deneen crowd"—the republican faction, “caded by United States Senator Der voen, which is eppesing Thompson candidates at the primaries, “The federal government can't shoot down citizens in Chicago and t away with it,” the mayor said. Commisiener Hughes answeres Deneen group eriticism of crime con- ditions in Chicago under the Thomp- son administration by declaring that up to late yesterday there had been 110 major crime reported to the po- lice for 24 hours, “unless you call the shooting of a court bailiff by FLIERS REST TODAY Stinson and Haldeman Recovering From T Gruclling Strain of More 53 Hours In Air, Jacksonville, Fla.,, March 31 (®)— Possessed of the laurels they sought, ‘with the satisfaction of having re- mained aloft in an airplane longer than anyone before them, Eddie 8tinson and George Haldeman today were resting from the gruelling strain of their long sojourn in the akies, Neither aviator would commit himaelf to any immediate plan, other than “a bit of rest.” When their monoplane came to earth at Jack- sonville Beach yesterday after a sus- tained flight of 53 hours, 36 min- tes and 30 seconds.
