Fitzmaurice was ‘‘paroled in his own custody” by immigration officials today when he arrived here without a proper passport.

LONG LOST FLOWER FOUND BY BOTANISTS Yellow Lily Experiments Reveal Perpetuation Is Possible. B v United Press ST. LOUIS, Sept. 12.—A dozen little sprouts in the bottom of a milk bottle have assured botanists at the Missouri Botanical garden here that the “lost yellow lily,” will be last no more. The flower, which blossomed here for the first time in civilization and then only after a 12-yeai search, can be perpetuated, botanists learned, when the sprouts germinated from the blossomed lily appeared. The lily which blossomed here grew from seeds obtained in Africa, after an expedition visited that continent in search of the flower. Botanists then expressed fear that the plant could not be perpetuated. Forty years ago was the first time botanists had evidence of the existence of the flower when a scientist sent a dried specimen to Germany. Since then the flower has been entirely unknown to civilization. The re-discovery of the lily now gives botanists an opportunity for an entire new series of lily hybrids. The lily, according to the garden scientists, will enable many other combinations bv crossing the new specie with other more widely known varieties.

AL CAPONE IS ‘ALGER HERO’ IN NEW BIOGRAPHY ‘Success’ Story of Boy Who ‘Battled Up Against Great Odds’ Is Told. Bu T'nited Pres* NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Among te new r fall books which came from the publishers today was the biography of A1 Capone, a “self-made” man. It is a “success” story—the tale of a young man who battled his way upward against great odds in the big city, determined to carve out a career. His “human” side thus revealed, the Chicago gang leader emerges as ,an Alger-like figure, almost

reminiscent of the heroes of “Pluck and Luck,” “Ragged Dick” and “Sink or Swim.” Capone’s career is unfolded In elaborate detail from the time when, as an obscure hoodlum in the five points gang of New York, he journeyed westward to seek his fortune. In the end he is seen basking in the sunshine of his magnificent Florida estate, having lived to the age of 32—far past the life expectancy of the average gang leader. The biographer. Fred D. Pasley, a Chicago newspaper man. reveals, among other things, that A1 is partial to the operas “Rigoletto” and “H Trovatore,” although “Aida” is his favorite. He prides himself on his ability as a spaghetti chef. Government agents estimate his wealth at $20,000,000. Although his weight is excessive, he is agile as a panther w’hen in action. When a fellow gangster dies, A1 lets his beard grow until after the funeral, as a token of grief. Glamorous as the Capone career has been, however, one is reminded that the path of success is strewn with hardships.

COW SHOT FOR BURGLAR BRINGS DEATHJHREAT Silver Lake’s Biggest Trial of Year Ends as Jury Acquits ‘Gunman.’ Bn United Press HARRISON. N. Y., Sept. 19. Silver Lake's biggest trial of the year has ended in acquittal for N. M. Taner. who shot Mrs. James Sarli’s cow, thinking it was a burglar. The trial was held in the hall above the fire house, before Leo Mintzer, justice of the peace. “I am sorry, gentlemen.” said Justice Mintzer, ”but the only place I have to offer you for your deliberations is the cellar.” The jurors filed down to the cellar

and returned presently with the verdict acquitting Taner. Taner testified that Mrs. Uarli's cow had fooled him. He had heard a suspicious rustling In the bushes outside his window, he said, and when he shouted a chahenge the cow made no response. Alarmed, he fired point blank into the darkness. Then he went outside, to find Mrs. Sarli's cow mortally wounded. Mrs. Taner. who corroborated her, husband’s testimony, fainted on the witness stand when she came to that part of the story. She said that Taner felt badly about Mrs. Sarli's cow, which gave six quarts of milk a day when she was fresh. He offered to make amends, but some subsequent disagreement had held up the transaction. “What was that?” asked Justice Mintzer. “Well,” said Mrs. Taner, who was by this time very pale, “Mrs. Sarli said that if the cow died, my husband would die too." “And then.” asked the justice, “did Taner go to the bajn to see the cow die?” ‘ No,” said Mrs. Taner. “my husband went straight, home.”
