Signing of Two Codes
Places Government
In Full Charge
WASHINGTON.—(AP)— Lower
liquor taxes to hold down the price
of the legal beverage were de
manded on Capitol Hill Saturday
at about the same time that the
federal government was virtually
clinching its control of the liquor
industry.
Two more codes, those for whole
salers and rectifiers, were signed
by President Roosevelt to virtu
ally round out federal supervision
plans for the industry.
Both Democrats and Republi
cans joined in calling too high
the tax recommendations of Mr.
Roosevelt’s interdepartmental com
mittee. Their opposition was
predicated on the contention that
the $2.60 tax Would keep whisky
costs up to a point to make profit
able large-scale perpetuation of
bootlegging :
Representative West (D.-Ohio)
declared himself in favor of a tax
of $1.50 a gallon. Representative
Britten (R.-11.) said “nothing
above two_ dollars.”
; Has Full Control
The signing of the two codes
put into the hands of the govern
ment, through its newly created
federal alecohol control administra
tion, contrgl of. the distilling,
brewing, wholesaling and rectify
ing branches of the liquor indus

The control agency, under the
direction of Josenh H. Choate, jr.,
was getting its machinery under
way Saturday, but it was deluged
with demands from importers for
permits.
Informally, since the President
has not' been officially vested with
power to carry on such negotia
tions, the administration was bar
tering with foreign countries for
importations, basing their parleys
on the proposition that American
products could be sold in the
markets of the countries given
permission to import liquors,
wines or beer into the United
States. )
Choate, in a press conferenge,
indicated that the adminjstration

Alphonse (Scarface) Capone, who
Saturday lost another round of his
long legal battle with the law,
this time in an attempt to secure
freedom on a writ of habeas cor
pus.
CAPONE'S NEW ThY
FOR FREEDOM LOST
Former Gang Czar’s Based
Second Plea on Writ. of
Habeas Corpus
ATLANTA, Ga— (AP) —Fed
eral Judge E. Marvin Underwood
Saturday denied Scarface Al Ca
pone’s second plea for his freedom
from the Atlanta federal peniten
tiary on a-writ of habeas corpus
based on the statute of limitations.
Attorneys for the former Chicago
gang czar, who is serving a ten
vear sentence for evading income
tax payments in 1924, 1925 and
1926, . said an appeal would be
taken to either the Circuit Court
of Appeals or to the United States
Supreme court. :
Capone entered the Atlanta pen
itentiary in May, 1932, and a year
agd made his first attempt to gain
his freedom on the ground the
federal statute of limitations had
run at the time of his indictment.
Judge Underwood in federal dis
trict court denied the plea fér a
writ of habeas corpus and gave as
his reason tne fact that a habeas
corpus proceeding = was mnot the
proper contention for freedom un:.
der the Aimitations statute.
Capone’s attorneys appealed to
the Circuit. Court of Appeals at
New Orleans, which upheld Judge
Underwood’s decision. ’
In the plea which Judge Under
wood denied Saturday, Capone’s
attorneys brought no new evidence
into the case, but introduced a por-,
tion of the exact language of the
Chicago- trial court to show that
defense attorneys had at that

BYSTANDER SLAIN
IN BANDIT CHASE
Chiéago Police Capture
Four Young Robbers Af
ter Wild Pursuit
CHICAGO.—(AP)—A" Dbystander
was killed and scores of others
frightened Saturday -as police
chased four young robbers on a
banditry expedition through five
miles of west side streets.
Captured, two of the band said
the: purpose of the robbery ven
ture wag to provide funds so one of
their number, Michael Campione,
26-year-old former reformatory in
mate, could enter a tubercular
sanitarium in Arizona.
The- pursuit started - when Ser-i
geant Howard Harder and three
other policemen in. a squad car!
noticed an automobile without lic
eénse plates and resembling a ma-!
chine used in recent robberies. {
Bullets flew indiscriminately un- |
til the bandit machine rammed in- |
to a 'trolley car at the crowdedl
intersection of West Harrison,
South ' Halsted streets and Blue Is
land avenue. Enroute, the machine |
had struck down Charles ijiner,l
42, a mechanic, inflicting a broken |
leg and internal injuries. l
At the moment of the crash.l
Alphonso Guiliano, 35, dived for
safety from the flying bullets. Hel
rolled beneath the street car andl
was killed under its wheels. i
A policeman chased one of the
band - through a meat market and
lost him in an alley, where the
fugitive discarded a shotgun.
Another disappeared. Campione
and Frank Manna, 18, were arrest
ed at their homes a short time
later, surrendered without a fight,
and admitted the robbery venture.

Fairbanks late Friday was spec

courses of the famous screen cou
ple who for nearly 13 years had
been termed ‘“Hollywood's ideally

A train, leaving Pasadena ten
minutes behind schedule because
of Miss Pickford's efforts to avoid
publicity for her departure, was
bearing “America’s Sweetheart” to
New York.
In the metropolis where as a

to a large group of friends, in

appearances in films are in abey

Her only comment on her di
vorce action, based on the charge
of mental cruelty, was contained
in her formal statement at the
time suit was filed.
“For several years my married
life has become inrceasingly un
happy. Being convinceq that un
der existing cinaurastances the fu
ture offers ng, solution, it is with
the deepest regret that I have filed
suit for divorce.” ’
Behind the dignified wording of
this announcement friends here
saw the real cayse of the ro
mance’s termination. Figuratively,
what they saw was a large map
of Europe with the agile Fair
banks leaping over it, from ecoun
trv to country.
Picture-making in England, golt
with the Prince of Wales, Winter
sports at St. Moritz—there were
interests that absorbed Fairbanks
but did not appeal to Mary,

WASHINGTON —(#)— Pressure
was being brought to bear Satur

possibility of his resignation from

state department, s
; That_'he might continue in his
present ‘post Was. regarded as ex

officials' who said that in the in
terest of harmony, if nothing else,
his resignation was desirable.
However, efforts werve under way
to keep him in the government
service and his: previous conten
tions that a great deal of relief
for agriculture could be obtained
by regaining export trade was
considered .by . many 'as adapting
him for a place in the stdte de
