Its Cinch to Rid Chicago of Gang Rule ; Says Fiery Judge

Crusading Jurist, in Race for Mayor, Won Fame by Spectacular Drive Against Hoodlums. Bn SF.A Service CHICAGO, Jan. I.—Judge John H. Lyle, the studious-looking but fiery municipal court judge, who has announced his candidacy for mayor of Chicago on a cleanup platform, has two separate and distinct reputations here in his home city. There are those who insist that he is an erratic notoriety seeker who has put on a spectacular, but ineffective, drive against Chicago’s hoodlums in order to increase his own fame. But there are a great many others—many thousands of them—who accept him as a sincere and , intelligent crusader who is willing to depart from established procedure and cut through any amount of red tape in order to take control of things in Chicago out of the hands of the underworld and restore it to the decent citizens. During the last few months, Judge Lyle says, he has received thousands of letters from people in this latter class, asking him to run for mayor. I Agreed to Make Race He has agreed to make the race for the Republican nomination; and the indications now are that he | will be one of the leading figures in ! one of the most sensational mayor- | alty campaigns Chicago has had in j many a day. The job of cleaning up Chicago is j not as difficult as it is supposed to | be, Judge Lyle thinks. Not long ago he expressed himself as fol- | lows: “If the present chief of police would say, ‘Drive the gunmen out of Chicago!’ and if the mayor ; would say it—and mean it—they'd j be gone in sixty days. Could a few | skulkers stand up against 5,000 armed policemen?” Effective or not. Judge Lyle’s per- i sonally conducted campaign against j the hbodlums has been sensational. 1 It also has brought some genuine annoyance to some of the under- : world’s big shots. Dug Up Old Statute It was Judge Lyle who dug up i the vagrancy law procedure, under which gangsters are brought into court and accused of vagrancy because they have no visible means of support—the average gangster, naturally, supporting himself by means which have a very low visibility. It was Judge Lyle who issued warrants for the arrest of Chicago’s notorious twenty-six “public enemies,” including A1 Capone himself. Whenever one of these men is brought before him, Judge Lyle sets high bail He also ordered the arrest of some forty-eight assorted gangsters, bombers, robbers and musclers. One of his best known achievements was the sending of “Fur” Sammons, a notorious gang leader, to prison for j thirty years. Many of the other ! hoodlums he brought into court also have gone to jail. Issued Warrant for Capone Judge Lyle once revealed that vagrancy was not the only count against Capone. He issued the vagrancy warrant, he explained, in the hope that Capone could be arrested on it and brought into court; but he hoped that once Capone was taken, evidence could be found on j which to indict and try him for ; murder. To date, however, Capone ' j has not been caught. Honesty in public office is Judge : Lyle’s chief formula for a cleanup in Chicago. “The lawlessness which these un- j j derworld rats have created exists here only because in the past it has been tolerated,” he says. “But what I can do about it will be done. “When a gangster is brought before me, I must see him as a human and regard whatever rights he has ! not forfeited already; but at the same time I see the honest, hardworking people as a whole, whose lives are endangered and whose minds are horrified by these con- ; tinual bloody ‘rides’ that have no returning. Laws Too Numerous “We have too many laws. There are 10,227 of them on the statute books. The trouble lies not in the laws, but in the enforcement machinery. I would say that 90 per cent of the public officials are honest. “The machinery of the civil and criminal fighting forces is ample. It needs only the proper adjustments and the right hand at the controls. Judges, in many cases, are a weak point—they are too thorough in searching for a legal loophole through which a hardened | criminal may escape. | “I would lay a good deal of the blame for nonenforcement of the laws at the door of the judges. They I have allowed the habeas corpus 1 wTit. which was designed as a means of recourse to the poor poltical prisoners 6f years ago, to become misused ’’ ill Man Kills Self By United Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan.

EXTRA SESSION FOR CONGRESS SEEMSUXELY Mass of Controversial Business Is Expected to Force Action. % BY THOMAS L. STOKES L'nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—lnjection of so many controversial issues during the recess into already crowded congressional calendars confronted Republican leaders today, with a real problem in preventing an extra session after Marcn .. Some were frankly skeptical i being able to avert it. When congress reconvenes Monday it will have but fifty-one legislative days to transact a mass of necessary routine business. This could be accomplished easily enough were it not for the additional matters which have forged to the front and which are sure to cause protracted debate, especially in the senate. Not in recent years has a Christmas recess produced such a number of incipient legislative volcanoes. During the few days usually set aside for a quiet vacation, there have been four major controversies added to a number which Republican leaders had agreed previously must be acted upon. ■Ma jor Issues Up These are the old railroad consolidation issues, relieved now for congressional airing in the new eastern trunk line set-up approved by President Hoover; the old soldier bonus row, appearing in new dress in the proposals for cash payment of adjusted service certificates; the renewed controversy over government water power regulation, caused by the dismissal of three employes of the newly organized federal power commission; the quarrel between Senator George W. Norris and Robert H. Lucas, executive secretary of the Republican national committee and regular Republicans. Then there is the expected report of the Wickersham law enforcement commission on prohibition. These issues have come to a head during the recess, and have been kept alive in a series of statements so that corridors of house and senate office buildings, usually quiet in the holiday period, have resounded with the clatter of typewriters. Other Fights Slated These new subjects of controversy have been added to such other issues as Muscle Shoals, the Norris constitutional amendment for abolishing “lame duck” sessions of congress, upon which Republican leaders have promised a vote, and the anti-injunction bills. In addition, a fight is likely to develop over the administration’s $88,000,000 naval building bill. Much time is expected to be consumed in debate over the Wickersham law enforcement commission’s report, and increased appropriations for the prohibition bureau. Debate on all these matters very easily can hold up consideration of the appropriation bills, which must be passed if an extra session is to be avoided, and can, without very much evidence of a filibuster, be used to block the annual supply measures. The danger of such obstruction is altogether in the senate. Speaker Nicholas Longworth has his house forces w T ell in hand, and will get all of the nine apropriation bills passed in the house and into the senate in plenty of time.

BASIC CHANGES TO BRING PROSPERITY

Turn in Modern Economic Structure Necessary, Says Professor. By United Press DES MOINES, Jan. I.—Changes in the fundamental principles of modern economics now are in progress, and prosperity will ride back to the world on the wings of readjustment, in the opinion of Dr. E. G. Lockhart, professor of psychology at Drake university. Dr. Lockiiart, who recently completed a survey of unemployment conditions in Chicago, believes depression is grounded deeper than mere psychology of the masses. “It is more than a matter of cycles,” he said. “It is the climax of a change in our economic structure that has been in progress since machinery began to take the place of men and animals. Plight of Horse Cited “Considering horses alone, there has been a reduction of approximately sixteen million in the number of horses in the United States in the last decade. “The decrease in itself is sufficient to account for much of the surplus agricultural products, and with disappearance of grain-eating horses have come big oil-burning automobiles and tractors that result in increased production, and consequent oversupply of farm products. “Human labor on the routine level seems doomed to share the fate of the horse.” The jobs held by the laboring classes in many cases have fallen before the advance of machinery, Dr. Lockhart said, and a readjustment has not been completed to provide new work, Machinery Is Blamed “It is the man with a routine job and little education who is suffering,” said Dr. Lockhart. “In my survey of more than two thousand jobless men in Chicago, 1 1 found they generally were with-

out education and of low intelligence.” To emphasize his contention that machinery largely is to blame for present unemployment Lockhart made public the results of a survey conducted by him among lowa farmers. “Approximately 90 per cent of those interviewed,” he said, “stated their plan for the future is to displace farm help with machinery.” SLAY WEALTHY*, FARMER, WIFE Robbers Are Blamed for Illinois Tragedy, By United Press MARSHALL, 111., Jan I.—Mysterious murder of John Welsh, wealthy land owner, and his wife, was discovered near here Wednesday when neighbors found their bullet riddled bodies on the floor of their pretentious farm home. Six discharged cartridges nearby were the only clews, although Sheriff James Turner said position of the bodies indicated that both had been slain by intruders rather than in a murder and suicide pact. “I am at a loss as to how to proceed,” said the sheriff. “We have been unable to find any tangible clew.” He said, however, that he believed the couple had been slain by robbers who thought they had secreted a large amount of money on their farm six miles east of here.

MR BENJAMIN DOES NOT SUIT G. 0, PJGUARD Arrival of Californian in Washington Brings Oil Suit to Fore. Bv Scripps-TToicard yevseavesWASHINGTON. Jan. 1— Appar* ently none of the Grand Old party < except perhaps the President himself, is cutting capers of joy over the recent arriva. here of Raymond Benjamin of California The Old Guard of the east know little of him. Among them are certain stalwarts like PostmasterGeneral W r alter Brown who think they themselves would make perfectly good Colonel Houses for the Hoover administration. They realize that blunders have been made that threaten them, the Claudius Houston, Fess. LucasNorris affairs, but they want no help from a comparative stranger. There is a feeling too that California has had too much to say at the White House already--3lerely Ex-Officio It has been learned that Benjamin was not given a desk or room at the national Republican headquarters, and that his functioning as the “President's adviser’’ will be entirely ex-officio. On the other hand, the Progressives do not like the Benjamin record. They recall that for a decade at least he has been identified with react ionary elements of his party. Since 1920 when he turned from the liberal Wfilliam Kent to make Sam Shortridge California’s junior senator, Benjamin has been under constant fire of the Progressives. Benjamin was a warm supporter to the late President Harding Asa reward he was named as special assistant to Attorney General Harry Daugherty to help Charles D. Hamel clean up titles and enter decrees relative to pending United States oil reserve agreements. DeJiics Oil Connection During the seven months he was under Daugherty, senate committee hearings reveal that Daugherty and Secretary Fall sought to quash the government suit to recover the famed Section 36 in the Elk Hills region, purchased in 1903 by the Standard Oil Company for a song as non-mineral lands from the state of California. It was necessary four years later for the senate to instruct President Coolidge to name a special prosecutor to press this suit. Benjamin and Hamel deny that they had any responsibility toward this suit BUSINESS MAN PAINTS Retires From Industry at 70; Takes Up Art as Hobby. By United Press BOSTON, Jan. I.—Charles M.
