TRAIL TURNS TO AL CAPONE IN MASSACRE Suspicion Grows Slayings Were Work’of Gang Lord’s Henchmen. Uy United Press CHICAGO. Feb. 25.—Belief that followers of Scarface A1 Capone, overlord of Chicago’s gangland, had more than a little to do with the north side massacre of Feb. 14, apparently is gaining strength as police follow out new lines in their investigation of the murders. The week-end brought few important developments in the investigation. Efforts were made to link the Egan gang of St. Louis and the old Valley gang of Chicago in the killings, but it is learned on good authority that more and more suspicion is turning to the Capone gang. The leadfer himself is in Miami, Fla., and whether he had a hand in planning the murder of the seven men can not be saio. but certain of those who are most active in the investigation are bending every effort to trace the movements of Capone’s lieutenants over a period of several weeks preceding the massacre. Capone’s Power at Stake This theory brings new speculation as the inner workings of gangland and some new ideas as to the breaking down of Capone's strength. He has been supreme, all other major factions working with or him. But in the last year, constant efforts of outsiders to usurp his throne have cut down his effective strength. George Moran to whom the men in the massacre swore allegiance, formerly was a Capons aid. If the Capone men did perform the executions, then Moran’s gang either had broken from Capone or were planning to do so and the gang lord’s followers saw to it that the movement was stopped. There is not a great deal to support this theory but it is receiving major consideration by police, along with a dozen others. ‘Big Tune* Slaying The killings were something out of the ordinary even for Chicago’s gang war. They must have been planned by someone with more than an orinary gang prestige, one of the investigators pointed out, and it was added that only a person with power such as is possessed by A1 Capone could dare such a spectacular move. David Stansbury, assistant state’s attorney in charge of the investigation, announced Sunday that former members of the Egan’s Rats of St. Louis were being sought for questioning; Ha said pictures of two of them had become associated with the old Valley gang, which operated under the leadership of David Vallo. The Vallo gang had its headquarters at the place where police believe the massacre may have been plotted, a saloon on the near north side. Dentist Under Guard Dr. Loyal Tacker, who was kidnaped and taken to Detroit Saturday, is being guarded closely by detectives. The denist gave police information regarding a man whose teeth he had extracted and it was assumed he was kidnaped because of this. He denied that he had identified Jack McGurn, Capone lieutenant as the man \ho came to his office on the north side. Tacker said he could not identify any of the four men who took him to Detroit. It is believed the dentist may have been kidnaped as a blind to throw police on the wrong trail. Rocco Belcastro is being sought on suspicion of having been the chauffeur for the killers. Belcastro has a finger missing on his left hand and one person who saw the car drive away said the driver was minus a finger on that hand. ROB GAMBLING PLACE Evansville Patrons Give Up $4,000 to Nine Bandits. By United Press EVANSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 25. Authorities searched today for five men who robbed “The Hole,” a gambling establishment here, of $4,000 and escaped. Armed with two machine guns and working cooly. the bandits lined their victims against a wall and relieved them of their money. After the robbery, the bandits extinguished lights, and sped away in an automobile. War on Pests Begins Uu Times Special SWEETSER.

POWELL IS NOT THE VILLAIN THIS TIME ‘Canary Murder Case’ Introduces a New Type of Detective to the Screen as Weil as a New Method. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE brainbox detective is introduced to the screen in the person of William Powell as Philo Vance a detective who believes that mental deduction along scientific lines will reveal the guilty party. This nonsensational type of a detective is to be found in the movie version of a popular murder mystery novel called “The Canary Murder Case.” Although th.is picture is called an all-talker, the director has come nearer to eliminating the deadly pause between the spoken word and the “business” of the actor. In other words the conversation seems to be natural on the part of all the members of the cast.

This movie is also highly interesting because the audience never sees the actutal murder done. The audience is permitted to see certain

characters stand before the Canary’s apartment house; to witness a quarrel between the Canary and her former husband, who also is a crook, and the director never permits the use of flashbacks to give the low down on the murder of the pretty blackmailing chorus girl. The director permits the detec-

tive, played by Powell, to advance certain scientific theories and then permits him to prove them. He eliminates three or four suspects from the group captured by playing a stiff game of poker with them in the district attorney’s office. And that test proves to the detective that a certain poker player present is the murderer. All this is done by quiet scientific and mental deduction. Powell is such a sleek and clever detective that you get the hunch that he will turn out to be a bogus detective and the guilty party but I assure you that this does not happen. Powell is giving a very smart performance this time in “The Canary Murder Case”, and such smart acting is a relief in murder mystery films. Even as a story, this S. S. Van Dine story was what one might call “the berries." It’s new construction gives the movie a chance to submit a movie built upon entirely new lines. Louise Brooks is cast as the Canary. She hasn’t so much to do, because Canary must be murdered before the story can get under way. It is the men in the cast that count in this movie. The comedy relief has been wisely handled. If anybody should ask me, I would say that “The Canary Murder Case” is the best of the new movies on view in an uptown theater this week. Now being offered at the Circle. u tt tt OUTDOOR SOUNDS IN “ARIZONA” MOVIE Much has been claimed in advance for “In Old Arizon” as the producers claim that this is the first of the out of door movies with “sound.” The director with his sound device has certainly caught all the

sounds of nature and if the moon had made any noise it would have been recorded. The time of the story is of the days when Arizona had many bad men, especially the Cisco Kid, a cattle thief, who stole so that his pretty gal, a desert gold digger, who dug her gold out of bad men instead of those who wore high

Dorothy Burgess

hats and dress suits, could have gold and pretty things. All the time the Kid was stealing cattle for her, she was two-timing him and she was particular with whom she played. Dorothy Burgess makes the girl a very elemental person, who took delight in deceiving one man while she was carrying on with another. The two chief male characters are

played by Warner Baxter as the Cisco Kid and Edmund Lowe as the wise-cracking army sergeant who is after the “kid” dead or alive. He plays Tonia, the gal that the Kid is crazy about, for all that she is worth. But the Kid is clever, he gets wise and allows the sergeant to kill Tonia. The Kid escapes and we never learn whether he took to the straight and narrow path or just kept on kidnaping cattle. Sometimes T got the impression that the out of door effects were too numerous and overdone. Miss Burgess talks broken English. Although the costumes are of other days, the characters use modern slang, especially the sergeant. Lowe gives a good performance of the wise-cracking sergeant, and he is good for many laughs. At rimes I thought that even the director was getting a good laugh by poking fun at the kill on sight western stories. Anyway, here is a western story that is different. It has been produced on a big scale and the scenes leading up to the time when the girl walks into the death trap are splendidly handled. These scenes are tense. “In Old Arizona” is the chief offering at the Apollo. tt tt tt SOME THOUGHTS ON GRIFFITH’S LATEST This D. W. Griffith person has. been very astonishing to me in the last two or three of his latest directed pictures. In “Lady of the Pavements,” his latest directed picture, Griffith ac-

William Boyd

and sincerity in Lupe just as he discovered that quality of soul wistfulness in Lillian. And you must (vive a director credit? when he does that. And yet taking “Lady of the Pavements” just as a movie, I would never have known that Griffith c • rected this one if it had not been announced. The sets are lavis! and look like the real article, a Griffith trait, but other directors have that quality. Griffith’s accomplishment then in this one is the way he has developed Lupe Velez. She sings in a low cabaret in Paris or some European place and these scenes will make her a screen favorite. Os course she has a good ballad to sing, “Where Is the Song of Songs for Me,” by Irving Berlin, who knows how to put the “sob it” into songs, Lupe sings this theme song on various occasions and finally it is this number that brings on the big climax of the story. The story is simple. Jetta Goudal, a woman of high social and political standing is in love with William Boyd as a man whose father has high diplomatic standing. This lady can not be true to any man and Boyd discovers her in the arms of another man in her own rooms. But the lady still insists that Boyd marry her. He rebels and tells tier that he would rather marry a woman of the streets. The lady of quality decides that he shall do this very thing. So she hires Lupe Velez as the cabaret girl to pose as a “lady,” just a little

complishes -some things and in other matters, he is not so successful. The big thing that I see in “Pavements” is that Griffith has done for Lupe Velez jiist what he succeeded in doing for Lillian Gish —has made Lupe into a distinctive stage personality. He has found the charm

Verdict of the New Movies CIRCLE—"The Canary Murder Case” is the best of the new movies on view here this week. Here is a real mystery story, most intelligently produced, directed and acted. INDIANA—The modem flapper touch turns a western movie into a modern taming of the shrew in ‘The Water Hole.” A light affair, but the younger generation loves it. APOLLO—/II the sounds and noises of nature have been captured for “In Old Arizona,” which is the first outdoors movie with sound. LOEW’S PALACE—D. W. Griffith nas not placed his individual mark of genius on “Lady of the Pavements,” except to make Lupe Velez as much an individual Griffith star as Lillian Gish. OHIO—“The Singing Fool” with A1 Jolson brings the real Jolson to the singing screen. A fine picture, as you know.

flower from a Spanish convent. The little mud-flower cai*es Boyd to fall for her strong and she marries him. The countess takes much glory in her triumph and exposes the little mud-flower to her husband and high society. Lupe then goes back to the cabaret and her husband comes for her, takes her in his arms and carts her to his own home. Happy ending. Here is just a light ordinary love story all dolled up in millionaire fashion with songs by Lupe and a gorgeous musical background. All the actors know what it is all about. So the cast is all right. But I expect more from D. W. Griffith. I may be all wrong in this, but I did not see the Griffith touch so pronounced as I expected. But this picture is box office from the word go. Griffith is entitled I suppose, to some box Office pictures lately. Now on view at Loew’s Palace. tt St 11 PRETTY CLEVER ARE THESE DIRECTORS It just isn't being done any more to call a movie a western. And so in the case of “The Water Hole” it is called a story of Zane Grey. It seems to be out of date to call a movie a western these days,

and so the director j must disguise the j theme. And the j director has been; a very wise one in the case of “The! Water Hole” as the i story gets a draw- j ing room start, that is the story proper. Here we see Jack Holt, very much the modern. gentleman, meeting Nancy Carroll as one of those wild flappers who need taming. She

.’••£ •:£ :

Nancy Carroll

makes a bet with her friends that she can make Holt, the big, sferong man from Arizona, propose to her within a week’s time. The sap dees, and he learns it was only a bet. So when the wild flapper arrives with her father in Arizona, Holt decides to tame her. He kidnaps here and takes her for a ride into the desert. When she starts to walk back, well the real tragedies start. But the ending is a happy one after all suffer much grief. It seems to me that’some of our supposedly strong he-men heroes nowday*, sure fall for some of the lightest brain heroines in captivity. 'Tis the way of the movies, I suppose. Here is a harmless movie done in modern flapper style. The younger generation when I was present sure “ate it up.” The chief attraction in the stage show are two young men, Jack and Gene, who have jumped to popular acclaim over the air, especially from WLW AND WLS. They sing their songs and attempt their ether jokes. They have their own following over the air and this following, judging by ■ the complete capa Ity and standing room audience at the first show Sunday at the Indiana, -now days, it seems, to be a somebody on the air. And these men

BUSH MAY CAST ! PRIMARY LAW DECIDING VOTE G. 0. P. Modification Up for Passage Tuesday in State Senate. Lieutenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush holds the vote counted upon to tip the scales for passage Tuesday of the Republican platform primary modification bill in the Indiana senate. Probability that Bush will have to cast the deciding vote that will send the controversial primary bill to the house of representatives increased when it was learned that Senator Samuel Benz, (Dem.) of English, will stick with eleven other Democratic senators and vote “no.” Senator Benz was the only minority member to speak for passage of the bill when it came before the senate Friday for third reading. Then he left the senate chamber and was absent when, after bitter debate, the roll call showed 25 ayes and 24 noes. Twenty-six votes are required for passage. LieutenantGovernor Bush, wielding the senate gavel, may vote only in case of a tie and so could not exercise the privilege. Friends of the measure supposed Benz would have voted with them for passage. But when asked about it he said he Was not aware of the bill’s provision for the use of the secret Australian ballot in state poiitical conventions. This provision was made by amendment to the bill, which throws nominations for Governor and United States senator into state conventions, repeals the presidential preference feature of the primary, and provides for election of alternates as well as delegates to state conventions. Informed of the arguments the bill’s opponents had made against the Australian ballot in convention, Benz said he would not vote for the bill containing such a provision. So, if lines hold tight, thirteen Republican foes of the bill standing with the twelve Democrats, a tie vote will give the Lieutenant-Gover-nor the chance to do the Republican state committee a favor by casting the deciding vote for passage. Senators friendly to the bill admittedly are dubious of its passage in the house of representatives. Prospect of Bush’s voting on the measure gave rise today to reopen-

ing of the question of the right of the Lieutenant-Governor, as president of the senate, to vote on final passage of a bill. Since the Indiana constitution was rewritten in 1851 no senate president ever has cast the deciding vote for passage. It was recalled that in 1917, when Bush was Lieutenant-Governor, and prospect of tie vote on final passage of a bill arose in the senate. Bush announced he would vote if the opportunity were given him. But the chance did not come. The Michigan supreme court has held that once an act has been filed with the secretary of state, attacks on its validity cannot be directed to steps preliminary to the filing. The opinion prevails that constitutional revision should be made in this respect to guard against alterations which might be made in bills between their passage and filing with the secretary of state.

They are being answered

by the Konjola Man, who is at Hook’s Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, where he is explaining the merits of Konjola. At the very peak, the apex of its powers in those obstinate and chronic cases that have defied and resisted all remedies and treatments tried, Konjola goes to the very root, the cause of the ailments and soon restored that glorious and lasting health that is the desire of every suffering. In the statement of Mr. L. E. Smith, well-known radio salesman, living at 58 North Addison street, Indianapolis, there is a world of hope and cheer for all who are ill and who would be well again. Just recently Mr. Smith called on the Konjola Man and made this astounding report about the work of Konjola in his case: “After ten years of suffering I am free once more of all stomach trouble. I hope that others will profit from the lesson my experience teaches. During all those years I don’t believe I ever went a day without suffering. Every bite of food soured on my stomach and caused a very uncomfortable feeling. My tongue was coated: I became subject to splitting headaches; gas bloating and wild heart palpitation were all a part of my life. The loss of my appetite and the fact that I failed to gain proper nourishment, soon resulted in a weakening of my system. My nerves were shot to pieces, I had but little pep or energy and had become a physical wreck. “This was my exact condition when I started on the Konjola treatment. At first I failed to se. how this medicine could benefit me but my friends insisted that I give it a trial, and more to please them than anything else. I decided to do so. Well, I had little idea that this medicine would work so quickly or surely. Before I hardly knew what was happening my appetite had been restored and my digestion was perfect. Food digested as Nature intends, and I get the proper strength and nourishment from them. Konjola has given me anew lease on life. It is a wonderful thing to have my health again and I shall always treasure it. To Konjola I owe this amazing condition and I praise it to every one, knowing that they too, will gain the same benefits as myself.” Thus it is that Konjola works. Daily it is adding to its fame and friends. It is only logical to believe that what Konjola has done for thousands it will do for every one—and for you. Every day of delay simply means another day of needless suffering. The Konjola Man is at Hook's Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, where he is meeting the public daily, introducing and explaining the merits of this master medicine. —Advertisement,
