DRY TEXTS FOR SCHOOLS GOAL OF W. C. T. U. Intensive Drive Mapped to Require Instruction on Evils of Liquor. Intensive eflort will be made by the W. C. T. U. to force the adoption of texts for public schools which contain prohibition propaganda and emphasize the injurious effects of drinking alcoholic beverages. Mrs. Oscar M Pittinger, director of the scientific temperance instruction department of the state organization, is pushing the campaign. ‘ Texts used in the schools at present for the teaching of scientific health do not pay enough attention to the ill effects of the use of alcohol and the state board of education will be asked to pay especial attention to this phase.” she said. Mrs. Pittinger pointed out that for years before the adoption of the]

MURDER TOLL MOUNTS HIGH IN KANSAS CITY Passes Chicago as Metropolis of Violent Deaths, Records Show. Bu L'nitrd Prr ** KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 4 Stabbing, shooting and slugging its way, Kansas City has passed Chicago as a city of violent deaths, in its murder rate based on population. Ninety-seven victims who fell by gun, knife and blackjack in 1929 earned this city sixth place in the nation. This many are listed in records of the county coroner. The police department lists only 93. Where Chicago traces many of its 406 murders to gang warfare, only twelve of Kansas City's total are officially accounted for by that strife. Ten of these were “put on the spot,” while two fell in duels. Six other slayings, probably by gangs, are not included because the

bodies were disposed of outside the city boundaries, although it is believed the actual executions were in the city. Four of these were Negroes, belieevd to be the casualties of warfare between rival whisky rings. Salvatore Piazze and Joe Vicetti, two New York gangsters, known here as “The Palmers,” met death when they are alleged to have attempted to “horn in on the corn sugar racket.” Their bullet riddled bodies were found on lonely country roads. Another case where gangsters settled their own difficulties, was when Clay G. Kennedy, alias Ben Barretti, a Chicago gangster, and Arthur Hartman, St. Louis gunman, were mortally wounded in a battle over gambling concessions. The annual report of the police department indicates, however, that only fourteen of the ninety-three slayings listed remain mysteries. Besides the eighteen unsolved gang slayings, including the six outside the city, the Cliff drive murder, in which Paul L. Odell, 20. was shot to death, and Miss Ruth McLaughlin, 24, was beaten fatally with a gun, has never been cleared. This double murder occurred the night of Aug. 29. Four of the seven slayings by bandits also were unsolved. The coroner’s records include killing of eleven bandits by police or their intended victims, slaying of a
