Cigarette Lighter
Finally Makes Good
ATLANTA. —(®)— Oddly
enough, the cigarette lighte:
did not work this time and
that long expected tragedy
over one of those gadgets is
on record. , d
C. E. Cherry, 16, scraped
the flint in his lighte: until
his finger was sore. There
was no flame. e
He filled it full of juice,
and tried to prime it with a
trusty mateh.
The lighter went haywire
and exploded. Cher:y jumped
ard overturned his can of in
flammable fluid.
In the mixup his pants
caught fire. He was taken to
a hospital and treated for
minor bu-ns about the hodv.
running up. One of the vouths
cried, “stop them!” and the offi
cer grabbed the man and yanked
him from the running board as
the automobile sped away. .
The man gave his name as Sam
Hunt, 27 years old. In the aliey
was a goif b_ag-containing a shot
gun, and in hunt's pocket was an
automatic pistol.
Police today were seeking Mike
Allegretti, James Hines, Ralph
Pierce and Clyde Bridges, who had
been arrested on previous occas
jons with Hunt. Officers believe
Allegretti to be the real manager
of the Cotton Club, the Cicero
cabaret reputedly owned by Ralph
Capone.
Detectives suggested that the
indictment yesterday by a federal
grand jury of Ralph Capone under
the Jones law may have provided
a motive for the gun attack, the
victim possibly being someone be
lieved to have given information
involving Capone in liquor law vio-
Jations. sk ekl

Al Capone Host
At “Good Will”
Dinner at Miami
[ MIAMI, Fla.— (AP) —Engraved
invitations from “Mr. Alphonse
Capone,” whom Miami authorities
'seek to force from the city
“brought several score guests to
his Palm Island estate last night,
for a “good will” dinner of spa
ghetti and mineral water and a
musicale, which combined operatic
arias and the highland fling.
Brilliant lights turned the pala
tial estate into a scene of tropi
cal beauty, but the identity of the
guests, who were addiessed in in
vitations “as a citizens and busi
ness men” was a carefully guard
ed secret, Miami Beach policemen
patrolled the outside of the estate.
* Gathered around a huge banquet
table the visitors heard one of the
guests make a brief address and
present Capone with a fountain
pen, welcoming him as “a new
business man of the community.”
Capone responded with thanks
for the gift.
The guests gathered in the
drawing room and listened atten
tively to the musicale. One artist,
an Italian girl with a soprano
voice, gave several numbers and
was encored repeatedy, dance mu
sic also was proficed.
Some of the vigitors arrived
after the banquet and were greet
ed cordially by Capone, who ex.
pressed regret that they were un
able to parttake of the dinner. |

Senate Committees Hasten
Naval Pact Deliberations
Borah 'Does Not Expect
But Two Votes Against
Report in Foreign Rela
tions Committee.
| WASHINGTON. —(AP)—While
members of the senate foreign re
lations committee were preparing
a favorabe report today on the
London navay treaty, the mnaval
committee hastened toward a con
clusion its separate hearings on
the pact.
Only a handful -of wtinesses re
mained on the mnaval committee
list, and Chairman Hale expected
to hear the last by the end of the
day. Like Hale himself, those
called to testify were unfavérable
to the new naval limitation se’-
tlement negotiated at London.
Rear Admiral S. S. Robison,
superintendent of the Naval Acad
emy, tcok the lead in testifying
that the United States would get
too few eight-inch gun cruisers
and too many six-inchers under
the treaty. His testimony was
largely a repetition of that he gave |
vesterday beiore the foreign rela
tions committee, just as that com
mittee was closing its hearings.
Chairman Borah of the foreign
relafions committee afparently ex
pects only one or two votes
against the favorable report he is
drafting. This report probably will
be handed in next week, but will
lie over until the special senate
session to be called after the reg
ular session ends.

ATLANTA, Ga.— (AP) — The

authoritatively that additional
bills charging bribery ' against
Walter Taylor, city eclerk; have
heen drawn for presentation to the
grand jury. o
The veteran clerk is already un
der sentence on one count of
bribery. ¢
The Journal also says that aftér
the grand jury recessed last night,
Solicitor General John A. Boykin
held a conference with six wit
nesses concerning the embracery
charges which grew out of alleged
jury tampering during the trial of
Taylor. Boykin met with the wit
nesses several hours, but declined
