B-4 CAPONE CONTROL OF UNIONS SEEN Chicago Paper Says 33 Labor Groups Are Run by Gangs. Plumbers Fight Hoodlums. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, September I.—The Tribune said last night that the Capone gang has gained control of 33 Chicago labor unions and has made it so evident that It is grasping for others that President John Coefield of the International Union of Steamfltters and Plumbers has come here to lead a fight against ihs hoodlums. The paper said that the Chicago Crime Commission is completing a re port, estimating that $500,000 a week is wrung from reputable citizens by the gang through its labor racketeering and Its program of making small busi ness men join various organizations « under threat of violence. When the report is finished, the Trib une stated the Crime Commission, the “Secret Six,” the Employers’ Association and probably the Better Business Bureau expect to unite in a determined cam paign to break the underworld grip. The Tribune quoted an un-named member of the Crime Commission as saying: “We find That 90 per cent of the Chicago unions are honestly offi cered and are fair in all their dealings. But Capone and George Barker now have 5 per cent of the unions in their clutches and nothing but trouble and extortion can be expected from them." Barker is a notorious gunman and former convict who has been suspected in many killings, including the Moran gang massacre and the Lingle slaying. ■' ■ ' -■ • SOCIETY (Continued From Third Pag*?-) tended alterations to their house, add ing several rooms.

RISEN FROM THE DEAD. DAGGER huddled down in her chair, crushed, unbelieving, at Chang’s startling words. Two swift steps and Chang was be side her. ’’Drink this,” he commanded, and she obeyed him. A moment and her faintness had passed. “Do you mean that, general?” she pleaded. •’Yes. He was with me until a few weeks ago. He escaped out of Russia through Siberia. One of my patrols on the Mongolian border found him. de lirious. starving. Fortunately, the officer in command knew him. After he had recovered sufficiently he was brought to my camp and told me his story. He had been unhappy, and when he was taken prisoner by the Germans he de cided to ’die.’ He exchanged identifi cation papers with a dead man, and be came that man. After the German revolution he escaped Into Russia. But that is a long story, which he will tell you. himself, perhaps." "If I ever find him,” cried Dagger. “Why didn’t you tell me this before?” ’Chang's eyes chilled. "A man must fight for his own land,” he returned implacably. "You had be lieved him dead. For all I know he may have ceased to love you—if ever he did.” "He never spoke of me?” she inquired piteously. "He spoke of a wife who did not love him, and of his unhappiness. He read in a newspaper that his wife had mar ried another man. and said that at last fate was on his side. He was dead, and he would remain dead." Dagger shivered. To have come so close! And then have missed. But instantly her thoughts returned to the practical. "Where is he?” she demanded. "Where has he gone?” The Tu-chun shrugged his shoulders. “To his own country. A man is hap pier with his own people, even if he be •dead.’ ” • If you had told me that first day,” she rebuked Chang. “By now I might be close to him.” "You have searched for him long,” the Tu-chun remarked philosophically. "What are a few weeks more? If it is fated that you will find him, you will find him. If it is fated that he will love you, he will love you. If fate wills neither” —the narrow eyes flashed— ‘ remember Chang has a destiny for you. No mean one.” Dagger could only look at him re proachfully, and he shrugged again. "A man takes what he can, my dear lady,” he said. “Do not be so dis turbed. And, by the way, treasure that lucky piece I first sent you. It enjoys a notable luck. I picked it up in the Sungfu market when I was a green boy of 16. A month later I committed my first successful robbery. In a year I had my own band. It has been with me ever since. I give it to you in hope that it will work as well in your favor.” “But yourself?” protested Dagger. “You should keep it. And you have given me so much.” “So little compared with my desire, Chang replied. “No, please favor me by keeping it—at least, as an earnest that I wish you well in your quest.” He clapped his hands, and the young officer who had received her strode out upon the terrace. "Your car is waiting, Mrs. Vaneerirg, | the Tu-chun went on courteously, “and I do not like to keep you out too late. Should you see Mr. Howard, remember me to him oordially. I shall be de lighted to see either or both of you again—particularly, yourself.” He bowed. . , , *T—i —i must thank you,” exclaimed Dagger. “After all, you have been kind. You meant well.” "Oh, quite well. I assure you.” he re joined. “In a selfish sense, of course. But one must think of himself. Good night, Mrs. Vaneering. I am afraid my wives will be very curious about you.” When she left Sungfu Dagger had no definite plan for her future, save that she must reach America as quickly as possible; but on the journey she de veloped a nostalgia for the Texas plains and the figure 2. Practically, she told herself, she re quired a Jumping-off place for the next stage of her search for Blaine. He would scarcely go to New York, if he wished to be considered dead. No, the probability wfa that he’d bury himself in some out-of-the-way hole, where he could lose his Identity and build his life anew. She was first on the car platform when El Paso at last loomed in the dis tance behind a welter of tanks and signal towers. There was Uncle Jim, squinting anx iously from beside a new car. And McCarty—bless his heart!—McCarty at the wheel, eyeing the descending pas sengers no less intensely. Dagger walked straight up to them. "Don’t you know me. Uncle Jim? EDUCATIONAL. out.

"Yew look like one of these here ladles in the Sunday pa pers. I never see such clothes—outside of a film picture.” "But clothes haven't anything to do with me,” she answered. "I’m just the same.” Jim Marley put his two hands on her shoulders and held her off. so that he could peer down into her eyes. "No. yew ain t just the same. Dagger,” he denied. “Yew’ve done growed a heap. Growed-up, like I said. Too bad, but I reckon once yew got to be a woman yew couldn’t help it.” “How's the ranch?” she inquired idly. "Pretty good. Might have more wa ter, but the steers are holdin’ up—if we can git a decent beef price. But thar ain’t so much money into cattle these days. Seems like people wore eatln’ greens stead of meat.” He paused. "Got a new foreman.” “How's that?” asked Dagger. “Do I know T him?” “Ain't had a dependable foreman since Dick went,” her uncle responded. "All of 'em too young or careless." "How's the new man?” “Fair. Got a heap to learn, but his heart's in his work.” And when Dagger started to ask for more information: “Come on, Mac, let's get goln’.” “But what's the hurry? I want to see everything.” "I reckon yew'll have time aplenty for seeln' things,” returned her uncle. “Right now, I want to make Casa Blanca afore sundown. Yew see. Dag ger’’—he hesitated —"these roads are hell. Much as yore life is worth to tackle some of ’em in the dark.” Dagger was puzzled, but amenable, regarding, with a degree of amusement, the speed which McCarty rang up on the dashboard. “You never used to drive like this, Uncle Jim,” she observed. Jim Marley removed his hat and wiped a moist forehead. "Wa-all. we got to git thar,” he of fered mildly. “See them steers, Dagger? Not so bad for a dry Summer, huh?’ 1 “That foreman must know his busi ness,” she remarked. “Him?” snorted Jim Marley. “Wa’ll. I ain’t claimin’ he’s a fool, but yew might give me credit for knowin’ my own ranch.” They sped past the water-tank and rounded to in front of Casa Blanca with a resounding blast of the horn— EDUCATIONAL. | WOOD S SCHOOL I ESTABLISHED 188 S 311 East Capitol St. Lincoln 0038 All Commercial Branches Enroll Now for Fall Torn* Evening Rates, $5.60 a Month Day Rates, $16.00 a Month COURT F.
