AL CAPONE, IN JAIL; STUDIES NAPOLEON

He may be a czar in gangland, but “Scarface Al” Capone, upper left, is “just another prisoner” to Captain Herbert Smith, upper right, warden of the Eastern penitentiary at Philadelphia. Below is a view of the’ prison where the Chicago “mob” leader is serving a sentence for carrying a gun.

; By .V E A Sen icr ! PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 3.—A | couple of warriors are getting together behind the gray walls of the Eastern penitentiary here. “Scarface - ’ A1 Capone, Credited with being the directing genius of | some of Chicago's bloodiest gang battles, and —believe it or not— Napoleon Bonaparte! Yes, Al, in the solitude of prison life, has turned to reading and the study of biographies. In his American “St. Helena,” where he was thrown for the trivial offense of toting a gun to a movie show, the “king of racketeers,” never once defeated by the courts of Chicago, is meditating over Emil Ludwig's “Napoleon.” Al doesn't choose to discuss the book at any great length. Pressed for a comment, he admitted that “ ‘Nap’ sure w T as a great little guy.” Today he sits in the scant comfort of his prison cell an<j asks only to be left alone to serve his “rap” in peace. “Al,” said Warden Herbert L. Smith, "it has been reported that you are being petted in this jailhouse. Now, I want you to tell the world about how you are being treated here.” “Petted,” Al chuckled, “this is funny. I’m perfectly satisfied here, but if I’m getting away with anything, I want to know it.”

Electric muscles that shift and lift cut your cost of living Merchandise in manufacture travels miles before it ever sees a railroad. Hundreds of short hauls from store rooms to production lines, from machine to machine, from top I floor to basement, down long rows of assem* biers, inspectors, and testers, it travels. If human backs had to carry these loads* your living costs would mount tremendous!^. But, thanks to manufacturers of ‘“material handling equipment,” industry employs electric power. Manufacturers of hoists, cranes, elevators and conveyors, with Westinghouse co-opera* tion, have developed improved tools that ap* ply electricity to these tasks.

Contradicting reports that his prison home was adorned with thick oriental rugs, paintings on the wall, radio and such comfortable equipment, he sat on the edge of a neatly-made bunk and waved to the simple furnishings of his jailroom. On the floor was a prison made rag rug. A phonograph and a wooden smoking stand, cut and painted in the form of a butler holding a tray, completed the picture. "Get this straight.” he said, with a geniality that belied his reputation as a “bad man,” “I'm taking this rap and I’m taking it just like any one else would. That’s the way I want it.” He seemed more than anxious to refute reports that he was being made the object of special attention in his new home whence he was transferred from the county prison at Holmesburg because of crowded conditions. Old 3loney Order Cashed ALEXANDRIA, Ind., Sept. 3.—A money order for 50 cents issued seventeen years ago at the postoffice here has just been cashed. Dated May 11, 1912, the order was drawn by the late A. M. Clark here, payable to W. E. White at Emporia, Kas. Recertification by the postoffice here was necessary before the money could be obtained.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NO CONSPIRACY IN ARMS PACT, SAYSPREMIER Prospective Anglo-American Agreement Discussed Before League. BY HENRY WOOD United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA, Sept. 3.—Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald of England, in a plea for international peace before the League of Nations assembly today, assured the statesmen that the prospective Anglo-American naval arms limitation agreement “is not directed against any one and is m nowise a conspiracy against any one.” “We have to go on and work for the league to lay more securely than ever the foundations of international peace,” he said. MacDonald also announced that Great Britain had signed the optional clause accepting the compulsory jurisdiction of the world court at The Hague in judicial disputes. He hoped the Dominions would sign likewise. He has been consulting with the dominions to obtain their adhesion.

Signature Necessary. “We so keenly felt,” said MacDonald “that England's signature was necessary if arbitration was to become a general reality for settling disputes that we decided to sign it.” During the course of the same interview, MacDonald discussed in a general way the progress of the naval negotiations between England and the United States. “I believe,” he said, “we are going to find a way out of problems which up to now have not been solved. Tht conversations between General Dawes (American ambassadoi* to Britain) and myself are continuing. We are examining every proposal which is likely to bring the conversations to a successful termination. t In Line With Hoover “Both President Hoover and myself are out for an agreement that will give as much to the remainder of the world as to ourselves. While the United States is not in the league, I can say she is striking just as hard as any of us to advance international affairs. Referring to his trip to the United States, the prime minister said: “You understand it is very difficult to say whether I will be able to go to America. I hope to go soon but it is not yet quite certain. We have the house of commons to consider and national problems or importance. Hence it’s no easy matter for a premier to absent himself when the house is .in session and deal simultaneously with such questions as disarmament, the Palestine situation and international finance.” It is a peculiarity of the horse to arise on the forelegs first, while the cow first arises on its hind legs.

which became effective six months ago today. When the law was passed critics said it would Inflict extreme punishment on minor prohibition offenders, but Lowman said today this had not proved to be the case “Apparently the courts have used discretion In exercising their power to make the penalty fit the crime in dealing with convictions under the Jones law,” Lowman said. "No excessive punishments have taken place, but the law is going to furnish proper penalties for maor violations. Personally, I think the law is beneficial and is not going to do what some persons predicted in the way of cruel and Inhuman punishment.”
