BELIEVING that failure of national prohibition already has demonstrated that repeal of the eighteenth amendment is inevitable, the Scripps-How-ard newspapers think the time has come to concentrate attention on the question of how the liquor problem of the future best may be solved, how control of it may be taken from the racketeer and the bootlegger and placed in proper hands. We consider the key to the failure of the constitutional amendment to be found in the fact that no regulatory legislation can be effective unless it bears the sanction of the public to which such legislation applies. That is democracy. Under our scheme of government, dry Kansas will not tolerate dictation from wet Maryland, and wet
CAPONE RULES AS NAPOLEON OF GANGLAND Only Dethroned Moran Remains as Peril to Supremacy. Bu United Brins CHICAGO, Oct. 25—A fugitive himself, never daring o to leave his stronghold unless under heavy gangster guard, unable, even, to visit his home, Scarface A1 Capone was recognized by police today as absolute ruler of the Chicago underworld. With Joe Aiello and Jack Zuta both slain an dtheir once powerful gangster ally, George (Bugs) Moran. dodging from hiding place to hiding place in fear of his life, officials believed Capone is nearing realization of his Napoleonic dream to extend his power throughout the city, perhaps idae nation. Back through the years of the underworld strife, the officers traced the rise of Capone, whose rule once was confined to the south side and Cicero. They recalled the names of the north side gangsters who had opposed him and noted that, one after another, but not always one at a time, they had been shot to death. Os all of the north side leaders who had dared oppose Capone since Dion O'Banion was killed back in 1924. only Moran remains. Moran’s power was broken when seven of his gangsters were killed in the St. Valentine's day massacreand police say he has never recovered since. Although they hold no hopes that the Aiello slaying of Thursday night would be solved any quicker than that of O'Banion or any of his successors, police continued their investigations today, directing thensearch for Pasquale Prestigiacomo, better known as Patsy Presto, and for several Capone gangsters known to be expert machine gunners. Aiello, stepping from Presto’s home, where he had been in hiding for two weeks, literally was riddled with machine gun bullets. Recalling the long enmity between Capone and Aiello, whose gang power was said to extend throughout the country, officers concluded immediately it was “another Capone job.’’ "So they started hunting for Jack (Machine Gun) McGurn, Claude Maddux, Tony Accardo. Sam Hunt, Mops Volpe and Frank Rio, the Capone followers with the best reputations for handling machine guns.

Officer Dies of Wound in Gun Mishap Motor Policeman Edwin C. Ball, pistol expert, wounded when his revlover fell from its holster and exploded Friday, died early this morning in Williams hospital, Lebanon. The .45-caliber bullet pierced Ball's chest at the seventh rib and emerged from the right side of the back.- Hemorrhages in the chest cavity are believed to have caused the death. With his wife, brother, Arch Ball, police ballistics expert here, the latter’s wife, and Milo Snider, arms expert from Cromwell, Ind., Ball was en route to Frankfort to instruct police there in use of sub-machine guns. Kinney Visits Hospital They stopped at a filling station in Lebanon, where Ed Ball stepped behind the auto to inflate a tire. As he stooped over, the gun slipped to the pavement, apparently striking the hammer. Arch heard the explosion, thought a tire had blown out, and walked to the rear of the car. Ed staggered, muttered, “Oh, I’m a goner!” and slumped to the pavement. Picking up the gun. Arch examined the remaining bullets. Two were lead slugs, three were steeljacket bullets. “Which was it, Ed?” he asked. •* “Steel,” his brother gasped. “Thank God. it went clear through. It saved me.” The lead slug from a .45-caliber gun mushrooms as it hits, tearing a wide hole. Ball never lost consciousness, the brother said today. Traffic Policeman Barrett Ball, another brother, was on duty at Washington street and Capitol avenue, but was relieved to go to Lebanon. Police Chief Jerry Kinney and Major Herbert Fletcher, also went to the hospital at Lebanon where the victim was taken. Appointed in 1918 The three Ball brothers, all policemen, were well-known for their proficiency with firearms. All were Indiana national guard officers.

Maryland, by the same token, will not tolerate dictation from dry Kansas. Therein is the essence of the difficulty, and out of that fundamental weakness in the national prohibitory idea has grown the long list of evils which now contribute the reason for the rapidly rising sentiment in behalf of a change. Accordingly, the cure for these evils lies in the largest possible application of the principle of home rule. When each community is delegated with the power to regulate according to its own desires, the sound doctrine of sanction will have been instituted,* and order will succeed chaos. To accomplish the end above set forth, we propose therefore the absolute repeal of the eighteenth
BRAZIL’S NEW HEADS ACT TO RESTORE QUIET Revolt Chiefs, in Power, Beset or All Sides by Perils to Peace. BY C. A. POWELL United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1930. bv United PressRIO DE * JANERIO, Oct, 25. Striving to restore order and half further bloodshed, a group of army and navy commanders formed a cabinet today to rule Brazil until the various revolting factions could agree on a more permanent regime. The men who overthrew the capital Friday in South America’s fourth revolution of the year faced a situation fraught on every side with danger to the peace and welfare of the vast republic. Rio De danerio was quieter today than Friday. When hysterical mobs ran shouting through the wide avenues and boulevards, wrecking and setting fire to buildings, but the threat of further violence still hung over the uneasy city. Ex-President Is Prisoner Dr. Washington Luis, the elderly white-haired president who fought so determinedly to put down the revole which swept northward frem Rio Grande Do Sul early this month, was held prisoner by the military leaders. Steadfastly resisting his enemies to the last, he refused to sign the resignation paper which the rebel leaders handed to him. Confusion remained so great within the city that it was impossible to learn how many had been killed and injured in the rioting that attended theoverthrow of the administration. At least fifty-eight persons were known to be suffering from injuries. Censorship on News Resorting to emergency measures to restore calm, the military junta in control of the capital put a censorship on news and called upon the nation to lay aside its arms and return o peaceful occupations. It was impossible to learn what faction of the revolution would gain the ascendancy and rise to control of the new government. Leaders of the various groups were arriving in the capital today for the council meetings which must decide on Brazil's future rulers. International complications threatened to descend upon the new’ leaders almost immediately. The German steamer Baden, while leaving port during the disorders yesterday, was fired on by Ft. Copacabana. Eighteen persons aboard the vessel w’ere wounded and several killed. The wounded, most of them Spanish emigrants, were taken off the ship late Friday night and rushed to the city for hospital treatment. Authorities said the ship had been fired on because it was leaving the harbor without a permit, Hourly Temperatures 6 a. m 33 8 a. m 37 7 a. m 34 9 a. m 39

Hoosier Interest Also Is on Notre Dame Battle With Pitt. For the first time this season, grid-minded Hoosiers refuse to give the major portion of their Saturday afternoon attention to Notre Dame. Purdue, 1929 Big Ten champion, has usurped part of the spotlight which Rockne and his Irish warriors have held ipv the last three week-ends. Home-coming, tradition and title chances make the battle at Lafayette tpday between the Boilermakers and Wisconsin one of unusual interest. The Badgers, touted as one of the most powerful aggregations in the midwest, have their eye on the Big Ten title which has eluded them for several seasons despite strong teams each year. In the past, the rivals have battled on" fairly even terms. Purdue, with one defeat already on their record, must triumph in today's engagement or be content with a low place in the 1930 standings. It will be home-coming for the Old Gold and Black and a capacity crowd of 30,000 is expected at Ross-Ade stadium. Notre Dame leaves South Bend for the first time this season and invades Pittsburgh, where the Rocknemen tackle Jock Sutherland's undefeated Pitt eleven. The Irish, as usual, are favorites over their intersectional rivals, but expect plenty of trouble from Baker and Hood, Panther back field stars. Indiana also engages in an intersectional battle. The Hoosiers become the first Big Ten team to invade Texas when they tackle Southern Methodist in the dedication of the Mustangs’ new stadium at Dallas today. The southerners, who held Notre Dame to a one-touchdown defeat by use of a super-aerial attack, are heavy favorites over the Pagemen.

Izaak Walton League Flays Lieber for Conduct of Office. Z; ii l imes Roeclal GARY, Ind., Oct. 25.—Alleged dictatorship cf Director Richard Lieber in conduct of the state conservation department was assailed in resolutions adopted at the closing sessions of the Indiana Izaak Walton League here Friday. The conservation department head was dealt another severe blow by the election of Everett Gardiner, Monticello, as president of |he organization. Gardiner, former member of the state conservation commission, % who failed of reappointment, is an avowed personal enemy of Lieber. Cleared of Coercion Lieber was exonerated of charges of coercion in making Republican campaign collections from game wardens, selling land in Brown county to the state, firing a game warden for failure to make campaign contributions and using fish and game money for other departments. ' These charges had been made by Representative H. H. Evans of Newcastle and were refuted by a special investigating committee. Evans, vice-president of the Izaak Walton League, is booming former Senator Bradford of South Bend for the conservation department directorship.

WHO IS HITLER?
He Shouts Loud War Cry
BY MILTON BRONNER ' , XEA SerTiee Writer SEVENTEEN years ago Adolph Hitler swung his legs from a ladder and dabbi r* paint on houses in Austrian villages. Today he ranks as one ol e most potent political leaders in Germany—a nightmare to the ol -established political and parliamentary masters, . bogey-man to the financiers, a menace to the German republic and tht peace of Europe. In all the troubled story of Europe’s past quarter century, there has been no rise comparable to Hitler’s, unless one points to Mussolini in Italy. Hitler never has ssid so from the platform, but in Munich beer garden's, when inflated by an extra “schoppen” of “dunkles," he has been known to admit that he considered himself the German Mussolini, aiming at the same goal, desiring the same power, and intent upon , getting it by any means to his hand. There is some little parallel between the two men. Mussolini's father! was a village blacksmith. Hitler's was an Austrian railway Mussolini served in the ranks in the Italian army during the World %'arl Hitler served in the ranks in the Bavarian army during the same war* Mussolini was at one time a Socialist and repented of it during thfl disillusionment, that the war. The same is alleged to be ti’Jfl of Hitler. (Torn to Page 14)

CONDITION IS CRITICAL AT CITY HOSPITAL Younger Sister Resting in Same Bed Awakened by Thud of Weapon. BURGLAR IS BLAMED Neither Heard Nor Saw Assailant, Victim Says: Doors Unlocked. Slugged with a blunt instrument by a robber who attacked her while she slept with her 14-year-old sister early today, Miss May Hogan, 19, of 1830 Calhoun street, is in serious condition at city hospital, suffering scalp wounds and loss of blood. The thud of the weapon, perhaps a gun, against her sister's skull awakened Corene, the younger sister. “Mom!” slid screamed, arousing the family. The girl heard or saw no one. she said. Victim Is Unconscious The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Hogan, and a brother, Luther, 22, found Mae in her bed, with blood streaming from the wound. She was unconscious except, for a few minutes after she was taken to city hospital, when she moaned to police that she neither heard nor saw the assailant. However, police believed she may have been awakened when the intruder tried to take a wrist watch from her arm. Two purses, containing less than a dollar each, were stolen, and a suit belonging to Luther also was missing. Police found the suit and empty purses in a coalshed back of the house. The suit was cut and torn to shreds. Doors Always Unlocked The Hogans said they never locked the doors ot their small house, which stands alone in a meadow. Both rear and front doors were open this morning. Apparently the robber knew the layout cf the house. He entered the middle bedroom, in which the girls were sleeping, and the one in which the brother slept without disturbing any member of the family. The Hogans lived in that house only two weeks. There are four younger brothers and sisters. .
