MURDER EPIDEMIC
N CHICAED GROWS;
B SLAIN IN 3 DAYS
| . CHICAGO.—(AP)—An epidemic
;of murder—eight in three days.
» with six persons dangerously
wounded—today was treated witly
,the police panacea—an intensive,
!citywide roundup of bad men.
I More than 200 persons, includ
ing three who are listed among
'the crime commission™s “public
(®enemies,” had been arrested ai
!dawn with police squads still de
ployed throughout the city. Even
las the squads over the city, guns
[blazed again: this time at the
ll‘ear of the fashionable Belmonv¢
! Hotel, Belmont and Sheridan
| Road.
' Several persons saw the flash
jof the guns in the North Side
| alley and heard the shots. Guests
lin the hotel were awakened by
the roar of guns; but no victim
!was found. It was a gun attack
ilike the one last week in which!
| the victim, after being shot down,
;vwas carted away by his attackers.
LA policeman reported seeing an
automobile racing down Belmont
|Avenue shortly atrter the shots
were heard last night, a man’s
| form slumped in the seat beside
the driver, and tlie tonneau filled
with other men.
Police Commissioner Russell, or
tderlng the roundup'of gangsters,
’hoodlums and suspicious charac
ters, concentrated his men in the
| Sicilian sections, Two of the
]eight gun victims in the last three
days have been Sicilians, and sev
eral others have been wounded.
'The commissioner also believes
{ifat in the Sicilian colonies will
i be found men allied with the beer
rings which are blamed for the
| outbhreak of gunnery.
| Among the 200 arrested as first
| fruits of the roundup were Jack
iM(:Gurn (called the Machine Gun
|ner of the Capone gang); James
‘ Peleastro, and Rocco Fanelli—
| three “public enemies.”
| Deputy Commissioner Stege said
!hu had learned that a duel to the
i death between Capone men and

| was in the making. It was this

Cannon Refuses To
Answer Questions
Of Senate Probers
WASHINGTON,—(AP)—Bishop
James Cannon, Jr., today flatly de
clined before the senate lobby
committee to answer a question
about his political activities in the
1928 presidential campaign,
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon
tana, in adjourning the committee
informed the Bishop that “of
course you will have tw take re
sponsibility” for declining to ans
wer. =
Cannon replied the committee’s
investigation of him was *“perse
cution.”
This stirred the crowded com
mittee room into laughter, ap
plause, and hisses.
“I cannot help but get the im
plication in that statement,”
Walsh replied.
Cannon hastily replied: *“I do
not charge you, Senator, with per
secution.”
Just previously the Bishop haca
charged that wet and Roman Cath
olic interests had tried to dis
credit him. Walsh is a Catholig,
and a dry.

\U. S. Divorces In
- Mexico Are Ruled
? Unconstitutional
MEXICO CITY.— (AP) — The
Mexican Supreme Court today
handed. down a decision ruling un
constitutional the divorce laws of
the State of Morelos where hun-
dreds of divorces, including many
to Americans, have been granted
in recent years at the state capi
tal, Cuernavaca.
The decision was contained in
the granting of two amparos or
writs of injunction in divorces re
cently granted to Cuernavaca.
The court ruled invalid the di
vorce law promulgated by acting
Governor Puente but did not spe
cify what was the statue of the
many divorces granted in Morelos
during recent vears.
Last August the Mexican For
eign Office ordered a complete in
vestigatio nos a “divorce mill” in
iae state of Morelos where in re-
cent years numerous Americans
had been divorced.
The newspaper La Presna said
the investigation had been order
ed after representations from the
American Embassy. Later it was
said at the embassy that no rep
resentations had been made at the
Foreign Office regarding the di-

A.. 8. C. PAPER.
NEW PENGION BILL,
VETEED BY HOOVE
DECOMES LW MW
i WASHINGTON—(AP)—Enacted
over the veto of President Hoo
ver, a new law for the payment
of pensions to veterans of the
iSpanish.American war today took
{its place upon the statate books
iof the nation.
{ Substantial majorities in both
| branches of congress voted late
| vesterday to pass the measure in
: spite of the chief executive’s dis
| approval. The senate vote was 61
’to 18 and that of the house 238
110 14.
! On both roll calls the Democrats
| voted solidly against the presi
| dent, while a group of administra
| tion dependables supporied his
position. The western independent
Republicans joined the Demoerats
of the senate in approving the
i bill.
s Although it was Mr. Hoover's
second veto, it was his first to be
{ brought to a vote. Several months
, ago he vetoed a bill to provide
|t‘or the minting of special coins
lin connection with the celebration
of the Gadsden Purchase and his
ivew was permitted to stand.
In returning the pensions meas
lure to congress, Mr. Hoover ob
, igctad to it ©n the ground that it
“vonld authorize the payment of
compensation to veterans for dis
abilities arising from their own
“yicious habits,” that it made no
requirement of need as well as
disability in the awarding of pen
sions and that it lowered unduly
the minimum period of service re
quired for non.service disability
compensation.

“Greater Atlanta” Movement To
Boost Census Has Started Row
By FESS FURMAN
WASHINGTON.—(#)— A new
ahd modern concept of a city—-
that it is the sum of itself and all
its suburbs, commerciallv speak
ing—has brought an avalanche of
requests for. annoulicements by
the census bureau of “great thus
and-so.” »
These letters may result in a
separate listing of Greater Mi
ami, Greate: Cleveland, Greater
Louisville, Greater San Francisco,
and others so that the city of to
day may be considered from its
“trade territory” aspect as well
as according to its geographical
boundary lines and political en
tity.
Census Director William M.
Steuart today said he intended to
give the cities the advantage of
announcements of the “large=
community” which indicates the
“buying power,” insofar as it is
possible for him to take such ac
tion.
The importance attached to
census totals was shown by a let
ter from a city so small it could
rot sspire to the term “greater.”
