Taken to Prison When Police Doubt Story of Robbery. “If police had been as anxious to catch the robber as they were to convince me I was a liar, they might have made an arrest,” Frank Albright, 1421 W. Twenty-Third St., drug store manager, commented today about his hectic Sunday night. Albright telephoned police from the store of Joseph Rosner, 2612 W. Sixteenth St., which he manages, late Sunday night that a holdup man had taken $65 from the store. A police squad went to the store, heard Albright’s story and took him to police headquarters, asserting they did not believe him. Albright declared they tried to make him sign a statement that the ..tore was not robbed. Held Until 3:30 A. M. The manager said he was held until 3:30 this morning, with no opportunity to telephone his wife or the store owner. Police said they questioned Albright closely because in repeating his story he gave conflicting facts. According to Albright’s story he locked the store at 11 p. m. and went to his parked car. While tinkering with the lights a well-dressed, bareheaded man about 25 stepped up and ordered him back in the car, making a menacing movement from his coat pocket as if with a gun. Leave Stamps Untouched The man made Albright drive to Holmes Ave., three blocks away, and transfer to another car. Then they drove back to the store. The bandit directed that no stamps or money of the postal substation be touched, remarking: “When you have trouble pith the police you can get out of it, but I don’t want to monkey with the Government.” Then the bandit ordered a drive west of the city during which Albright insisted there was no more cash. He was permitted to get out in front of the store from where he telephoned the police. Proprietor Rosner said he believed Albright’s story as he had left him just after the store was closed.

THE Ji\ JJIAiN AEoLlfe TIMES

Chicago's War on Mafia Terrorists at Last Appears Successful. BY SAMUEL H. KNOTT CHICAGO. Oct. I.—Chicago’s “war without mercy” on Mafia terrorists and extortionists appeared successful today. Prosecutors, who for months were powerless because of the unwillingness of victims to seek aid of police, announced today that the case against the kidnapers of little “Billy” Ranier practically was complete. With the arrest of, Andrew Cappellano, who confessed he held Billy on a “kidnap farm” for thirteen days while Mafia extorionists demanded $60,000 ransom, there remained at large only two other members of the kidnaping ring, allegedly ruled by Angelo Petitti. Police declared that the two missing men, known as “Julio, the Roman,” and “Guido Sallustro,” would be in custody by Wednesday. Cappellano, reputed bootlegger of Bourbonais, 111., was arrested Saturday night at the home of his brother Frank Cappellano, near Herrin, 111. Confesses He Is Jailer He confessed reluctantly that he was the jailer who held the boy while ransom arrangements were being made with the boy’s father, A. Frank Ranieri, wealthy Chicago contractor. “Yes,” Cappellano confessed, “the kid was at my farm. Two men brought him there. “I didn’t know them, either of them,” he continued. “They just ca;ne out there with the boy and told me they’d bump me off if I didn’t keep him. All I know about them is that one of them might have been named Frank Trusno.” Mrs. Cappellano and Cappellano’s 17-year-old son, Tony, arrested with the confessed jailer, corroborated the story. The confession will be taken before the grand jury today by Samuel A. Hoffman and Charles J. Mueller. State’s attorneys, who announced they will seek indictment of the three for their share in the plot. Mrs. Marie Capellano, whose husband. Atonio, is a nephew of the bootlegger-jailer, told police today that Petitti, who was held as hostage by police until Billy was re'eased was the ringleader qf the extortion gang. Blacked Boy’s Eye “My aunt told me when I asked her about the little boy that they were going to let him go because if they kept him Petitti would never get out of jail,” Marie said. “Cappellano's wife said her husband got his orders from Petitti about holding Billy and letting him go, too.” Marie Cappellano will be used as one of the State's chief witnesses in its attempt to obtain the highest penalty for kidnaping and extortion, the electric chair or prison. Police disclosed that John Perconti, Joliet, was one of the two men who seized the Ranieri boy on his way home from school and that he blacked the boy’s eye with a blow when the child screamed. CREDIT MANAGEMENT TAUGHT AT Y. M. C. A. Commerce Division New at Night School. “The field for credit manage) s and experts is unlimited and the operations of credit have become a profession,” William P.

The commerce school is anew division and Bolles is its first dean. He has been credit manager of the Holcomb and Hoke Manufacturing Company for thirteen years.

DOCKET OF 500 CASES AWAITS HIGHESTCOURT Mayor Walker Admitted to Bar; Crowded Docket Faces Court, BY HERBERT LITTLE, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Oct. 1. —The United State Supreme Court convened its annual session today, a large number of notables including Mayor James A. Walker and Mabel Walker Williebrandt crowding the little room in the capital where the nine justices gathered. The first act of the court was to admit Mayor Walker to the bar of the court. The New York executive desires to be able to argue in the New York subway 7-cent fare case. Defer Subway Hearing The court postponed from Tuesday to Oct. 15 the arguments in the subway case, on motion of Irwin Untermeyer, New York, son of Samuel Untermeyer, who represents the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. Attorneys agreed to the postponement because of the elder Untermeyer’s illness. About thirty lawyers, including one Negro, were sworn in together with Walker. The clerk of the court laid before Chief Justice Taft 244 cases which had been filed during the summer recess. Taft announced the court will spend all this week considering these petitions for reviews of lower court decisions. He said the justices have been studying these papers during their vacation and expect to rule on all of them in the next four weeks. Dismiss Philly Case The dismissed suit which sought to prevent the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, from collecting an 8 cent street car fare. The court adjourned after a forty minute session and went to the White House to report to President Coolidge that the court was ready for business. The most important cases to be considered by the Supreme Court at this session are the New York 7-cent subway fare suit, the case involving valuation of railroads by the Interstate Commerce Commissions and the California deciduous fruit case, involving freight rates on the State's enormous wine grape crop. Naturalization Case Up Other cases of importance include one involving the right of the Philippine government to take stock dividends of corporations. In a similar stock tax case several years ago, the high court ruled stock dividends were untaxable in the United States. In addition to these important cases, there are scores of patent, personal injury and maritinal cases, and more than fifty criminal cases. There also is one suit arising from divorce and the government’s appeal against naturalization granted Madame Rosika Schwimmer, internationally known pacifist and leader of the Ford peace ship.

CHARITY FUND GOAL EXPECTED TO BEBOOSTED Budget Committee Reports Agencies’ Needs Greater This Year. An increase in the goal of the Community Fund campaign next November, compared with last year, is expected by fund officials as a result of heavy demands being made upon nearly all of the thirty-seven social service agencies sharing in the common fund. Community Fund's budget committee will meet Tuesday to further scrutinize basic requirements of eachagency, and to frace recommendations for the fund’s board of directors. Walter C. Marmon, general campaign chairman, says no statement concerning the exact amount of money to be raised this year can be made Until after the budget committee and board of directors reach a decision. Raised $726,100 in 1927 Community Fund's goal a year ago was $722,800, and the total subscribed by 52,447 Indianapolis citizens reached $726,100. This was the first time the goal ever was subscribed fully. Marmon points out that Indianapolis has the lowest per capita subj| scription of any city of comparab® size. 3B “On a per capita basis,” he sailH “Indianapolis citizens are asked to give an average of $1.93. In Cincinnati the per capita subscription is $4.50, in Cleveland $3.92, In Toledo $2.86, in Denver, $2.89, in Day* ton, $3.10, and the average for all cities is well aboxe $2. This low rate for Indianapolis speaks well for the efficiency with which our city’s agencies are conducted.” Budget Grows With City “Not only is Indianapolis growing in population at the rate of about eight thousand annually,” Marmon continued, “but it is also apparent to any one who will study the situation that our city is handicapped by worn-out, inadequate facilities for social service work. Progress in social service must keep pace with progress in other directions. And the price of this progress will likely be a slightly higher goal for 1929 than we had for 1928.” “The bald fact,” continued Marmon, “is that not all of the thirtyseven agencies sharing in the Community Fund are able to meet their expenses this year, solely because of unexpectedly heavy burdens thrust upon them. This fact, combined with the continued growth of the city, is ample reason for increasing the goal of next November’s campaign.” CHURCH PARLEY CLOSED Indiana Universalists End EightyFirst Annual Convention. The eighty-first Indiana Universalist convention ended Sunday at the Central Universalist Church with short addresses by Dr. John Smith Lowe and the Rev. A. Gertrude Earle. The meetings began Friday.
