CHICAGO NOW
EXPERIENCING
DRY CLEANING
Clamp On Lid or Go
To Jail,* It Order Is
sued to City Police
Force
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—<4*>—As a re
sult of the St. Valentin's Day mas
sacre of seven gangsters, Chicago
tonight was on the verge of perhaps
the greatest dry cleaning and gen
eral crime purging since prohibition.
The drive by tederal, state and
city officials against crime, vice,
gambling—and particularly liquor—
almost overshadowed the manhunt
for the murderers of the seven Mo
ran gangsters executed in their
headquarters Thursday,
j Spurred on by criticisms and the
state's attorney s admonition to the
police to ‘‘clamp on the lid or go
i to jail,” Commissioner of Police
Bussell today told his captains and
deputies “booze selling and booze
running must be wiped out."
He friamed “prohibition and booze’’
for the wholesale slayings and or
dered 5,500 policemen whom he said
had been battling crime, vice and
gambling to be thrown into the fight
to make Chicago dry—something the
police heretofore have considered a
duty of federal authorities.
Meanwhile search for the four or
five men who almost eliminated the
Moran gang with theii machine guns
extended along two lines—neither of
which had been productive. Police
were searching here and elsewhere
for three members of the ‘Turple
gang’’ of Detroit, identified from
photographs by rooming house own
ers across the street from the Moran
headquarters as having rented rooms
there shortly before the killings.
It was the police theory that
those sought spied on the Moran
gang, awaiting an auspi?iou« moment
to order out the firing squad.
The other line of inquiry lay in
tracing trucks found in the garage,
where the gang was killed and in an
effort to trace old police squad cars
after reports that such a car was
Used by the killers to escape.
A theory expressed yesterday by
Major F. L). Silloway, assistant pro
hibition administrator that police
men and not gangsters wearing po
lice uniforms, were the killers re
mained without substantiation today.
Police I nder Fire
His theorizing drew a rebuke from
Prohibition Commissioner Doran in
Washington.
Police also were under fire from
other quarter.* Alderman John Mas
sen said he expected to present to
the city council next week a bill
providing for reorganisation of the
police department under a non-po
litical civilian board of control.
The association of commerce took
a hand by demanding grand jury
investigation of imputations cast on
the police department with a view to
clearing the department or ridding
it of those found guilty.
The bodies of the victims of the
gang slaughter have been claimed
by relatives. Funeral services will
be held Monday. For Peter and
Frank Guzenberg, principal lieuten
ants of George “Bugs" Moran, ex
pensive caskets have been bought
with indications they would be bur
ied with some of the lavish display
and pomp affected by relatives of
slain gangsters a few years ago.
For the other five, however, simple
services were planned.
The Daily News today printed what
it terms tha "inside etory,” of the
gang killings unearthed after an in
vestigation by the newspaper here
and in Detroit.
Moran’s followers, the newspaper
said, were killed as the result of a
war between Canadian distillers, the
Goitre Not
A Disease
Milwaukee Doctor Makes
Remarkable Discovery
MILWAUKEE. Wit—It has been
brought to light by scientific re
search that goitre is not a disease
and is not to be treated as such.
I>r. A. A. Rock. Dept. E-43, Box 737,
Milwaukee, Wis., a prominent goitre
socialist for over 24 years, has per
fected a different method of treat
ment for his patients that has proved
runarkahiy successful. This same
method is now being used for a
home treatment of goitre cases all
over the country with astonishing re
sults. The Doctor states that goitre
is a condition which grows worse
with neglect and recommends im
mediate attention no matter how
small the growth may appear. He
strongly opposes needless operations.
Dr. Rock is the author of a book
that tells in a simple way about
treating goitre at home. He has
published this book at his own ex
pense and will send a copy free :o
anyone interested. Write him today.

hours and begin all over again Sun
day. For, never before in history of
the Lower Rio Grande Valley has
there been such an influx of visi
tors to this section as in the past
we# k.
From all sections of the north,
east and west eager homeseekers
have poured into the Valley in an
endless stream, special trains of the
Missouri Pacific and Southern Pa
cific have rushed their countless
hundreds here, thousands of others
came in their automobiles, until even
n smiling, generous Valley was tax
ed to bestow its true southern hos
pitality upon the visitors.
During the entire month of Jan
uary a total of 81,000 crossed the
Gateway bridge into Mexico, the rec
ords show, but if the present ratio
should be maintained, the February
total will be around 135,000, a figure
that would wipe out all existing
records for travel across this or any
other bridge in the border section.
Just how this huge total of people
crossed in one week is illustrated in
figures furnished by R. D. Howard,
general manager for the Gatewav
Bridgeway company, these showing
the great majority came in automo
biles.
During the week 7.988 automobiles
crossed the structure, these cars
containing a total of 21,148 passen
gers. The second largest total was
listed as pedestrian*. 8,056 walking
across in the seven days, on business
or pleasure. The busses also car
ried a respectable figure, the 462
conveyances of this character, ac
cording to Howard’s figures, ear
ned 4.716 passengers.
Trucks crossing the bridge In the
«even days totaled 271, carrying 434
passengers, while other vehicles'
numbering 168 carried 242 passen
gers.
Further figures thus made avail
able show that the automobiles av
eraged about three passenger# to a
car, busses about 10 and trucks
nearly two.
According (o forecasts by officials
of the Southern Pacific and Mis
souri Pacific railways, the end is
not yet in sight, indications being
that the record tourist travel to the

perhaps even longer.

work will be concreting of canals at
points of greatest seepage, exhaustive
tests having been made to ascertain
where water losses and land damage
are heaviest.
The La Feria district is the third
to vote a large bond issue to finance
concreting of their system. The
Pharr-San Juan-Alamo district au
thorised an issue of $.".000,000 eariy
last fall, and work is under way. The
Edinburg district voted $1,500,000,
but has delayed sale of bonds pend
ing improvement of the bond market.
Damage By Seepage
The La Feria district comprises ap
proximately 30.500 acres, practically
all of which is high class land. In re
cent years large acreages have been
damaged by seepage from canals.
The drainage system also has proved
inadequate.
Directors of the district express
the opinion that the saving in opera
tion costs and the revenue that will
be derived from lands reclaimed by
concreting the system will practically
cover the interest and sinking fund.
They assert that the district pro
poses to eliminate all water loseses
and bring the entire systeril to the
highest possible point of efficiency.

BOX ASSAILS
FIGHT ON BILL
Sugar Beet Interests)
Quota Measu r e
Is Charge
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—{#>— •
Charges that his bill to put immi- J
grattan from western hemisphere!
nations on the quota basis was be
ing blocked by the sugar beet and
railroad interests were made today
in the house by Representative Box,
democrat. Texas.
He said nearly every representa
tive of the sugar beet industry had
opposed the legislation in committee,
as had all of the reilroads involved
except one.
“But,” he added, “as long as I
shall continue to stay in congress I
shall press this problem upon you.”
The Taxan declared laws govern
ing admission of Blexican* were
poorly enforced because of the lack
of funds and the ease with which the
country could be entered.
“They take the place of the Amer
ican working man in this country,”
he said. “They are adding to the
race problem and in continuing to
permit them to come into the coun
try we are breeding another diffi
cult question that must be faced in
the future.’’
Free, republican. California, de
clared that the Box bill would not
stop the Mexicans from coming into
the country any more than do the
present regulations if sufficient
money was not provided to enforce
the law.
“We have appealed for eight yaars
for enough money to enforce the ex
isting lays.” he said, “but we have
not been able to get it.”
“We also need more money to en
force the deportation laws,” said
Newton, republican, Minnesota.
“Yes,” replied Free, “there are
more than 200,000 aliens unlawfully
in the country and we bave no
money to enforce the law.”
The discussion over the Box bill
arose from a declaration by Blanton,
democrat, Texas, that thousands of
Mexicans were coming into the
country.
“If you will travel down the Rio
Grande,” Blanton said, “you will tee
them coming in. evading the head
tax and the other regulations.
"They come up into Wisconsin in
droves,” added Representative Scha
fer, republican, Wisconsin.

Moody Urge* Prieon Plan
With two of tha governor’s chief .
legislative subjects to have right
of-way this week. Mr. Moody is ]
planning to take personal command |
of his forces in the legislature.
He has been working on a mes
sage setting out his ideas of how
the prison system should be reor
ganized and centralized. He intend
ed to send it up last week, but de
cided to wait until this week in or
der to have his words fresh in the
minds of tho law makers when they
are in the midst of thesa bills.
He is likely to appear in person
before the legislature to expound
his views.
In the meantime he has been
working diligently, interviewing his
friends in both houses and explain
ing to them the prison and high
way measures.
it is difficult for political observ
ers to classify the legislature into
groups, “friendly” and “unfriendly”
to the governor.
House independent
The action of the house Friday in
killing the civil service bill recom
mended by Governor Moody in his
message and advocated by him evar
sinte he has been in office, might
be pointed to as indicating the lower
house at least wilt act independently
of the administration.
The governor was disappointed at
losing the bill.
Senator Stevenson said today he
would vote to submit the constitu
tional amendment beaming on issu- ,
ance of road bonds.
Senator Holbrook, without tying
himself to the wisdom of issuing
state bonds, will vote to submit the
amendment, he said.
The penitentiary solution has j
three or four sides, with the con-;
troversy likely to simmer dovn to j
a choice between the Hoibrook
plan, endorsed by the governor, of
empowering the prison commission, i
speaker of the house, president pro
tern of the senate and attorney gen
eral to sell and buy penitentiary
lands and relocate and concentrate j
ps they decide best, and the Cou
sins measure, (sponsored by Young]
in the house) directing concentre-1
tion on the seven farms below
Houston with headquarters on the
Darrington farm.
Gas Tax Proposed
The house committee on peniten
tiaries passed out a bill by Kayton
King providing that prisoners shall
be credited with double time for
overtime work. Ten hours would
constitute a day’s work in the
penitentiary under the bill.
Violation of any prison rule would
result in the loss of the overtime
earned.
Repeal of the occupation tax on
gasoline and substitution of a four
cent excise levy will be recommend
ed by the house committee on reve
nue and taxation, Representativ
Tillotson said.
Tillotson said the bill was writ
ten by the attorney general’s depart
ment after the committee had re
ceived reports from the comptrollar
that between 12 and 15 per cent of
the gasoline used annually was
escaping the occupation tax. Based
on estimate sales for 1929, this rep
resents a loss of between $2,500,000
and $3,000,000 annually, Tillotson
aaid.
Senator Pollard prepared a bill
authorizing the board of control to
make contracts with the prison sys
tem for purchase of supplies, equip
ment and materials for use by oth
er state institutions, and a resolu
tion proposing a constitutional
amendment making it possible for
the penitentiary and other state in
stitutions, such as the deaf and
dumb school, to furnish the printing
and binding and other things re
quired by the state which they can
provide.
